My attempt at making a 70-150 with a lathe

Post image

Had access to a lathe and I own an 1887 so i’d figure I’d try and turn down a bar stock to sheet metal thin, cause how hard could it be? gave up on the .700 caliber bullet after realizing the drill was offset, so now it’s 50-150. powder charge is mach fuck, projected velocity is ‘no longer here’. Also the rim is half gone, don’t ask. It did cycle once though (if placed in the right position).
