Frontier Iron / Re: Cimarron's new American model!
« Last post by mtmarfield on Yesterday at 09:10:51 PM » Greetings!
Well! At the ten yard range, it likes my Lyman #429383 ( 10 BHN ) over 4.3gr Hercules 'Unique'. It also favors my new NOE #432-246-WC over the same powder charge; a very nice mould! Later, I'll try my also new Old West 'Anderton' mould, and Lyman #429348 & #429106.
U.S.M.R.: all that I see on the back of the Cylinder are: A.Uberti Logo; Chambering ( ".44 Colt" ); SN#; and "IT 2021". Could it be that the "IT2021" is a new style Date Code...?
Thanks Mucho!

« Last post by Tronicst1 on Yesterday at 07:43:11 PM »So, pulled out my 45 ACP die set and used the sizer on the C45S Brass. The C45S Brass drops right into the 45 ACP Cylinder.
The new issue is that the C45S Brass rim is .060" thick and the 45 ACP Brass rim is .049" thick so now a full load of C45S Brass
in the 45 ACP Cylinder causes the Cylinder to bind up and not operate correctly.
Back to using the 45 ACP Cylinder with 45 ACP Brass to build and test sub 14,000 C.U.P. loads before trying them in C45S Brass
using them in my 45 Colt Cylinder.

« Last post by Hair Trigger Jim on Yesterday at 05:35:25 PM »I doubt it; it should be easier to remove, if anything. The .45 ACP sizing die might size the brass just a bit smaller than a .45 Colt die would, to better fit the .45 ACP chambers. No promises, of course.

« Last post by Tronicst1 on Yesterday at 02:52:14 PM »Have not tried that, but would that cause an issue of after the round has been fired
having the brass be a bit tight to remove

Uberti, Pietta and other SAA Clones / 45 ACP Cylinder for my Uberti Dalton.
« Last post by Tronicst1 on Yesterday at 01:07:01 PM »So, I just received my 45 ACP Cylinder and did the minor fitting required for my Uberti Dalton, 45 Colt.
The Cylinder is from Taylor's & Co. and works just fine in my Uberti. I originally purchased the 45 ACP Cylinder
to shoot C45S Rounds through it, as I have read about a few people shooting C45S Rounds through their
45 ACP Cylinders.
I found that I can drop 6, 45 ACP Brass Cases in the 45 ACP Cylinder and my Uberti cycles and operates
just fine. If I try and load C45S Brass I find that it gets tighter as I push it further into the Cylinder. I found
that this is due to the Cylinder having a slight taper in it to coincide with the taper on the 45 ACP Brass.
So my plan now is to use my 45 ACP Cylinder to test sub 14,000 C.U.P. rounds and then use that data to
load C45S Cases and fire them in my 45 Colt Cylinder. This must seem like a bunch of trouble to go through
to shoot something, but I guess that's just me.
