I agree. I have since downloaded some editing software that will allow me to set up different angles and/or positions (such as alternating between me shooting and the targets...and movements between places in one video), but you'll still get the goofs and the misses....I promise that.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks.

Wow! You are both kind and generous. Thank you, very much. I really am glad to have you as a viewer and a subscriber to my little hobby channel. I plan to make a video or two this coming week. www.noebulletmolds.com/site/product-category/566 They have changed the bullet mold from the one's in Hickok's video. Looks like they eliminated the deep cavity base pins and that brings the weight up to 674-grains (!). The plug mould is on that page, too. www.archive.org/details/acompaniontonew00compgoog

@@plowboysghost Thanks brother!

Awesome! What rifle/carbine are you feeding?

@@plowboysghost P53 Enfield

@@waynehuff3984 Awesome.

There's videos of me shooting these cartridges in my P53 and my JP Murray from nearly a couple years ago on my channel. I plan to do another shooting video with these soon. My P53 shoots 8" high at 25-yards with .575-500 Lee Minies, and about 4-5" high with these, using 68-grains of 3F Goex in both loads. To me, that suggests that these are moving faster and thusly may be fitting the bore better. The .575-500 fits my bore loose, anyway....so much so that when hunting with that Minie I put the ramrod down the barrel periodically to make sure it was still seated (which it was....probably due to the dried SPG). I have no such worries with these paper patched Pritchetts. They still load easy (first shot or 25th shot...they load the same), but there's a much better seal that with naked lubed Lee Minies. The skirts of the cavity on the NOE Pritchetts are pretty thick. They could probably use a heavier charge and yield better obturation and accuracy.

Sounds like you're on top of it better than I am. Thank you, Sir.

How do the coffee filters work for the outer rapper and lubrication?

Thank you.

Thanks. I'm figuring that if the base were filled with glue that the base might not expand to grab the rifling....not 100% sure, though.

plowboysghost I was thinking it might work something like the rubber tips in Hornady critical defense ammo 🤔🤓🤷🏻‍♂️😁

@@sixwheelcarlisle8491 Not sure...but I'm also not too sure how easy it would be to get glue fouling out of the bore.

plowboysghost yeah that would be my biggest concern, glue in the barrel.

I wasn't sure if this would be that interesting to the vast majority of shooters(of these guns) likely not using this type and size of bullet...but what the heck. \ Maybe it'll be informative for someone.

Although i don't have one but this gives me an idea for my CVA Magbolt 150 in .45 cal.using a hollow based 45-70 rifle boolit that i mold.

Cool.

Nope. I've demonstrated it in an earlier video and maybe a later one....as well as Hickok45 did in two of his videos with these cartridge he got from me. The bullet faces the center of the cartridge in this style, unlike the federal (U.S.) style cartridge. In the federal style, the cartridge paper is nothing more than a container for the powder and the bullet. With that style you tear it open, dump the powder and then remove the bullet and load it. With the British/C.S. pattern, the cartridge paper is an integral and necessary part of the projectile in that it is effectively a paper patch. You tear open the powder chamber, invert the cartridge, and insert the (now facing UP) paper patched/still wrapped/lubed bullet in the muzzle.

Thanks. I did spray a light coat of Pam cooking oil spray on it. REAL light.

In this British Pattern 1855 cartridge for the .577 rifle-musket, the bullet diameter (in my reproduction) is .566 and paper patched with the paper dipped in lube. The bullet nose is toward the center so that it may be inserted with the un-torn end of the cartridge paper as one piece. This is different than the federal "Burton" style, grooved, lubed Minie that is introduced to the bore naked/without paper. I find (as the British and Confederate government did) that bore fouling is kept to a very minimum in the British pattern cartridge use since each loading effectively swabs the bore...which is much different than the Federal pattern. The effect of these British pattern cartridges is a sustained fire capability with almost no degradation in accuracy and loading ease from one shot to as many as one could put through it. Confederate tests ended after thousands of rounds through one rifle without cleaning and no issues. They gave up trying to force a failure.

That's a question I don't have an answer for. When I posted that link it was to 9lb, so someone has changed it on Amazon. I went back into my old bookmarks and it now leads to this 10lb. I don't see much 9lb in a quick google search, so I hope 10lb works. I figure it probably will.

I don't know. I know Bondo does.

It's something i would have to just go through trial and error if I were to develop one from scratch. With this one, I was following a pattern. I would be easier to adapt the federal pattern cartridge construction to yours unless you're running a bullet undersized enough to be paper patched. With this British pattern, the cartridge is a function, integral part of the load...where as a federal pattern cartridge is really just a carrier that is completely discarded after loading.

@@plowboysghost Ok, then I get to experiment! Hell of a good reason to spend more time at the range. Thanks for the video, and a fun idea.

@@TrikeRoadPoet Let me know if i can help.

@@plowboysghost I will ask when the questions arise, (as they will), like do I start with the forming mandrel to be the size of the ball, or a tad smaller to allow for the wraps of paper?

@@TrikeRoadPoet I'll have to double check.
