Update: After acquiring a small part needed, took the Bodeo out of Mothballs this last week and worked up some good loads for it. It was surprisingly easy. Unmodified .44 Russian brass, 18 grains fffg, a 200 grain .44-40 bullet from a Lee mold, put together with Lee .44 Russian dies. The only difference is I used a .303 size die as a crimp die, running the finished round about 1/3rd of its length into the die for a nice taper. The rounds drop nicely into the cylinder, and shoot a sub 3" group on a pumpkin at 10 paces.
Cleans up easy, this thing has the deepest rifling I've ever seen. Easy access to the innards, with the Galand lockwork very simple. Unloading is a pain compared to an SAA, much less a swing out cylinder revolver, but for 6 shots this is as good as anything out there. One of the few Continental revolvers with a ballisticly respectable round, imho.
Another good gun for Armadillo hunting.
