Didn't even know it existed?

 

[DLS]

It's down for me as well.

 

[Crohnos01]

And me....

 

[DizzyJ]

So... How long have you guys been holding out on me on this cool website??!!

 

[DLS]

Sorry man, you don't know the secret handshake … !

Sorry man, you don't know the secret handshake … !

Everyone is learning the secret hand shake but me.....

 

[DLS]

It's a conspiracy.

Still down for me … what a shame if it's gone, I used it a TON!

I prefer to use the documented data as found in loading manuals.

 

[DLS]

Me too, info direct from the manufacturer is my primary source, but the loading manuals don't list everything. Especially for older cartridges and powders and bullets. For instance, do you have any good loads for .38 Long Colt using PB powder?

I always check multiple sources and use a chronograph when working up new loads … I just miss an extensive database the site offered, I gleaned a lot of good information from that saving a ton of time working up new loads.

Too funny tac:

Yep the bullet is .375 in diameter with a .355 heel. Here's a picture of the pretty standard 140 gr. pill.

Sorry for the incorrect details.

I've pulled the post.

 

[DLS]

I didn't mean to dis your post. I appreciated it, and for blackppwder no less! I thought it was a clever addition to the thread.

There was a wide variety in bore sizes from that era, so a slightly smaller bullet would be common.

Many pistol bullets of that era had hollow bases so they could expand a d seal in an oversized bore.

So the dimensions of you post would not only work but in reality were probably common.
