im not an american and i dont have guns, but i truly envy you guys when it comes to your glorious gun shooting scene, i wish i can shoot old rifles with obscure caliber and reload them myself like this guy
Thanks for this! I'm writing a historical fiction novel set in 1867, and your video provided the perfect amount of detail I needed to describe the Commorore salute scene!
Hi Larry, Great video. Can you go over making a 11.7X51R cartridge for a 1867 Danish rolling Block,my tang dated 1874. I was told that these were sold to the USA in the 1950's but mistakenly advertised as 45-70.A 45-70 fits the chamber but is smaller.I believe the cartridge brass my crack upon firing.
Feel lucky, I have the previous model. It's the Danish Snider rifle chambered in 17.5x29 mm rimfire. There is no parent case so I'm going to have to manufacture the cartridges from scratch.
Love your videos. Amazed of all your units "over there". We just have 2 systems, "gram" for weight and "meter" for distance. And then be able to mill 0,164 of an inch - wow. As I was a apprentice I learned that a vernier can only measure a 1/10 of a mm
I saw one guys random rolling block Smith n Wesson rolling block rifle that looked great but that looks nice saw it long ago I tough might be interesting hunting riffle what u think ?
You can also modify .348 win or buy original 12,7x44R brasses from german factory (Hörneber), but buying originals are realy expensive - about 70€/20pcs.
Can anyone give me information on the 44 77 Sharps cartridge in one of these old rolling blocks? I have an original rifle in the old cartridge and am looking for sources for my Reloading Data and can find very little. I know that 44 is caliber 77 is maximum charge of powder and and I know bullet weights range between 385 and 475 grains. What I'm looking for is pressure rating how much pressure can one of these rifles safely handle? I'm trying to develop a safe smokeless load to use in it even if it is lighter for target range practice. I know people do it for the 43 Spanish and if I have the maximum pressure rating of this firearm then I can look at different powders and bullet weights and figure out a load that will be satisfactory to me and safely within my limits. This cartridge is hard to find any info on it would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Thanks for that great example of why the imperial system makes no sense. 5/15th of an inch in Diameter and .515 Inch are two totally different measurements ;)
+Mr. Mars Experience volumetric measurement of powder is actually volumetric weight, which is an imprecise way of measuring how much space that much weight of powder should take up, and doesnt take into account settling and air pockets. This was not that big of an issue until smokeless powder's more rapid expansion became a factor. But the point still stands, volumetric weight of powder is comparable to gravimetric weight when referring to gunpowder loads. Ex. the 30-30 cartridge, the first smokeless rifle cartridge, is named so because it was still loaded on the same machines winchester had been using to load their black powder cartriges.
neutered10mm His comment? I wouldn't be surprised. All i can say to him is in the uk they control primers (you need a gun licence to buy them) so crooks use primers from blank rounds.

Look forward to these every morning!
Handmade is the cheapest way to go. I save 75% by handloading my own ammo. Good job Larry.☆☆☆☆☆
I aspire to one day have a workshop as well equipped as yours. The possibilities are endless.
Nice solid thud to that shot. Love it.
Only he would mill a brand new mold for one project
@Weedus Or, you know, machine off a bit of the formed bullet.
@@IggyWon Cutting down the mold is the way to go, and you are through. They only cost about $25.
Joshua Valdez the priming tool is the RCBS priming tool. LEE makes one too that is usually cheaper in price but works just as good.
I love these videos. Just learn something new every time.
Very nice as always sir. Thank you for your time.
I wish I knew just half of what this guy knows, truly a badass American
Thanks, Mr.Larry.

really enjoy your video's..& what a great clean shop you have
This is more relaxing than watching Bob Ross paint

I would be interested in getting some of the 50x25 ammo for a navy pistol if that is possible. Thanks
Wow u have to be the smartest gunsmith ever.
0:09 has the smile from the Extenze commercial
sweet thank you for the video

Hello, would it hold up to the pressure of a 410 cal shotgun cartridge?
I shoot a 450 gr paper patch, works great.
What type of primer tool is he using ?

I use 25 grains of Alliant #2400 behind a 370 gr bullet it matches the factory velocity of 1430 fps and doesnt exceed the black powder pressure.
This is sick
You would make my day if you could go over 11.7 × 42r ammo

It makes sense for those of us who grew up with it. Seriously, no system is inherently better as they both have uses that they excel at.
Why do you smoke the mold?

Please take me as an apprentice...... even though I'm 45 and live in australia.......
Am I the only one wondering why in the heck the Navy would still want a single shot pistol in 1867?!
Yeah they had revolvers since the earlier 1800s
@@harpchicken3248 Since 1836 with the Colt's Paterson revolver & 1847 onward with the Walker, Dragoon, Navy, Army, & New Army models!
volume of powder, not weight, weight of powder didnt come about till 1899 during the smokeless introduction to firearms

Seat the bullets by hand! I wish he would have talked a little more on that
Just cause you don't guns as cool as he does doesent mean you have to nit pick his vids I dout you guys know half the shit he does
make more videos
thanks for the tips.
I am not handy so my Remington rolling block will remain on the wall.
handmade ammunition should be very expensive
Its cheap if you DIY
***** This sounds like an Anti-Gunner type stance if I read it correctly. I could be wrong, but I read the *should* as in "there should be a law ..."

Why?
this guy has good videos but that artificial fake smile is really annoying
