case are ready now - 29 at all will not shoot more cartridges in one day so hope its enough to make it easy the pins were made from nails but hardened in the end to prevent bending because the primer screw only fit the original case I numbered all was thinking before 3 3/4" long cases are unusual because you only see the 4" long pinfire shells listed in old catalogs but a collector friend resolve me that 3 3/4" was the common length in the 19. century in europe found an old loading data from a 1898 printed german book: 15,9 gramm BP and 85 gramm shot eley catalog 1904 gives 15,9 gramm BP and 92 gramm shot for the 4" long shell. my 3 3/4" steel case will not hold such a load. |
