Re: Yet Another RARE Martini 44shot Rook Rifle- Duplex Automatic

That certainly is an interesting piece Buckstix!
Not sure if it would speed up the old Martini Henry in the battle field though, always had not so good extraction (well coiled brass cases)



Hello 93x64mm
Thanks for the reply.

Fortunately I don't use coiled cases. I use 44-40 cases and I load them with a paper shot capsule that I make myself.

I make a capsule by wrapping a 1-3/4" square piece of paper around a steel mandrel. (shown in the cartridge box) Then I fill it with 200g of #7-1/2 shot and load it as shown. (slightly less than 1/2 oz shot)

Very good results!
