General Discussion / Re-creation of what civil war era artillery bombardment would sound like.
« on: April 04, 2018, 09:29:07 AM »Absolutely terrifying and id imagine deafening. to walk into that would require quite the amount of mental fortitude.
Oh and i also found this video of a civil war cannon firing explosive shot at a modern APC. did more damage than i would have expected! although APC are not really armored.

General Discussion / 44 henry rimfire found in north carolina

Friend down in North Carolina found this. he didnt know what it was, i figure its a 44 rimfire. No head stamping or primer in the center. and i think it is copper cased.
pretty neat to find a piece of history like that!
third picture is just for comparison sake.

Ask The Experts / Re: 44-40 vs 45 colt.
« on: February 13, 2018, 12:38:00 PM »I load both, 45 Colt brass is a little less expensive than 44 WCF and also a little easier to find. I've never had any problems finding 44 WCF except once in a while a supplier will run out.
Some guys complain that 44 WCF is harder to load but I have had no problems with it at all. Starline 44 WCF brass has a little thicker wall than other brands so I have heard claims that Starline is the way to go if you want to avoid the collapsed cases that seem to be the biggest complaint about loading 44 WCF. I also think the ones complaining about loading 44 WCF are trying do it on a progressive press as fast as they can pull the lever.
thanks for the input
