.44 cal Seamless Pistol Rounds

[orngblsm]

Ok Boys...Looking for a How to.

Anyone have any luck making seamless pistol rounds. I'm looking to roll .44 cal dummy rounds using lead conicals for show, I can't figure out how to make them appear seamless. Perhaps someone could provide some guidance...?

Thanks,

Ryan,

See if this thread is useful to you: https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/in...?topic=9695.10 . Scroll down to the post, "'Making Useable Combustible Paper Cartridges' 44 Cal Combustible Cartridges Compliments of Sgt John Chapman .

Dixie Gun Works sells a pamphlet, Self Consuming Paper Cartridges for the Percussion Revolver item #BK2067: http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product...oducts_id=1759 which may be of use.

You can try to get some sausage casings from a butcher - I sometimes get them from the local Piggly Wiggly. Soak them in a nitrate solution, slide them on a cartridge former, twist the end, and let dry. For real shooting glue the bullet on with liquid bandage - a nitrocellulose cement. For dummy use, skip the nitrate, I suppose, but they will not look the same.
