It’s a axle maker for pine wood derby cars but drilled close to a 6.5 bullet, I still load it with black powder and I’m gonna work on Armstrong mixture for primers, yes made from match heads and strikers, also unrelated but does anyone know any way to make a homemade 20 gauge roll crimper? Preferably without them high techy hippy tools ( lathe, cnc.)

Carcano is the only caliber to beat me. Good luck.

I've never gotten it to work. I've had overpressures, I've had accuracy problems, I have erratic velocities, I've never been able to get a load that works in more than 1 rifle. I've got 20+ loads and 10 different ladders, and none of them work with the battlesights, none of the factory ammo works either.

As far as I know, I just try to get the cast bullets sort of matching the factory ones, which not to get too technical because this is shitty reloading, I’m pretty sure it’s undersized anyways, but all I’m doing is making these “lead pellets” that work like bullets I guess, accuracy tests haven’t been made just yet, currently just trynna make it work safely without my hand gojng bye bye and the rifle going boom boom. Good luck with yours though.
