Wow, just wow. What do the primer pockets and the insides look like?

Your 38 Extra Short looks suspiciously like a 41 Short for all the little pocket derringers. Some measurements may be required.

It depends on how hard to find the brass is.............

One other hint, when you do get the magazine cap screw out, when you start on the magazine cap itself...............
Just know the cap is a slight interference fit, that's all.......................
Not absolutely sure, but I think that the 9.3x72R is smaller in all dimensions than the 9.3x74R. I'm
thinking the 9.3x72R case won't even touch the 9.3x74R die anywhere except the neck, it might...

Yep, I did about 300 .314 to .312 coated bullets, all the coating stayed on. No problems.

Another vote for a '92. Look for a factory style mold, that should cut out the feeding problems. Lee Factory Crimp Dies are your friend!

Gentlemen:
I snuck up on a pretty nice 44/40 1892 Winchester on GunBroker the other day, it went pretty cheap because the loading gate was broken off. I thought that wouldn't be a problem to find,...

Call Ward's Auctions, they're in Oregon. If it's worth anything they may come get it. If you will take a look at their website you will see they are big into that. Now, what you consider a lot, and...

The copper tube was designed to provide expansion faster than a conventional lead bullet, but slower than a hollow point bullet.

40-82 is a wonderful cartridge, loads easy, feeds like a dream, a little less recoil than a 45-70. It does use a 2.4" case, but 45 years ago I used 2.1" 45-70 cases, and 41 Mag pistol bullets!
