Can you do a 50 bmg

i use an obsolete powder i got in trade IMR SR-4759... in my martini henry carbine. i use 25 grains a piece of paper to keep the powder separate from the walnut media to take up the "airspace" launching a 500 grain 45 cal paper patched slug.... i can hit a torso sized target at 300 yards.

Military Ordinance issued 2f powder during the Civil war and up to the 20th century, economic reasons!! Worked fine!! Considering that gunpowder cost hundreds of dollars a pound, you used what was available!!!!!

My load for 44mag is 24.0 grs H-110 -240 gr serria jhp nosler

If you stay with factory grips 44 S&W is much easier my opinion

Can you use ceramic balls like sling shot ammo in place of the brass?

Y’all don’t know nobody move

Well, I'll be darned! At just before the 2 minute mark you say the Model 94's original name was Winchester Center Fire, and didn't change its name to the 30-30 until the 50s. So I checked my Grandpa's hand-me-down 1949 Model 94, and sure enough... W.C.F. Thanks!

That revolver looks like it’s having a horrible time I’m not gonna lie 😂 that thing has definitely seen better days holy crap. That black soot from the chain fire just covered the side of the gun. And this is why lube is your friend. Isn’t “needed” but definitely helps with this situation

Thanks very very much!!!!!!!!

Do a Glock till it doesn’t Glock anymore😂

Agree 100% and walnut shell or Kingsford was just as pour "for me" Are the suspenders under that coat? Ridiculous? "Me Thinks knott" Very Decent mad scientistry! and Better Visualls, go make another Bamn Video! PLEASE? Coffee historically available. Quite a possible option with our ancestors needs. I thought it may be the oils in the coffee, my step Daughters dad's clan has a coffee platation in Nicaragua.

You won’t shot me right?

That really pisses me off Everything I know about black powder firearms is thanks to mike and guys like you I love the hobby so much black powder guns are the only guns I own and shoot before hand I was pretty much was self taught and believe me I made some very dangerous mistakes do to not knowing enough about guns do to my parents being very anti gun I got interested in shooting after one of my dad’s friends said to my dad I was a natural born marksman after taking me shooting I got the bug shortly after that I watched a very underrated movie called ride with the Devil and the great movie the patriots I got in to black powder guns shortly after watching those films and I bought my first black powder firearms a few years later I found duelist1954 and became even more of a lover of black powder firearms and got in to the hobby Every hard this was all thanks to Mr. Mike Beliveau I admire him a great deal and take his word as the gospel Truth he is a good and knowledgeable man that everyone can learn something from him not just black powder firearms but other firearms I will try to do what I can I just want to say thank you mike

White sugar can be used instead of black carbon to make a satisfactory powder. Sugar is carbon in a different form and can be made into black charcoal by dousing it with sulphuric acid in an airy place

Now a 30-30 in a krag jorgensen

It should be comforting to know that your rifle can fire both 45-70 and 50-70. Now all you have to do is build some form of sleeve that you can slip into the chamber that will allow you to fire the smaller shells without destroying the brass. Great video as always.

it is for sure interesting! thanks for doing this !

Toilet paper is very clean, able to be cleaned by the ton, you can't beat that. I've never used that paper but I've used chemical grade carbon powder and seen similar results. I worked in the electronics industry for a few decades.

Thanks for the video. I found it very interesting and you seem to have clarified a few myths. I don't know, but I've heard some of the replicas may not have the same volume in the cylinder as an original Walker, they have a shelf. Could there also be calibration errors in the chronographs being used? There may be other variables as well. Just playing devils advocate. I"m not subscribed to your channel.

Palo Verde wood for black powder?

I have a question. I just started making some black powder. It's dry but it crumbles really easy. Why?

I have a couple of the 51 .44 revilvers and i know what you mean by ruffling feathers. Im a memeber of a few different Facebook western gun groups and every time I post them the same asshole which is to n every group throws a fit. Ive even seen him comment of piettas page throwing the same fit. You would think people would be happy to see interest in the black powder hobby.

I think it was in Hatcher's Notebook that I read the way to clear a squib (on the range during a match) in your 1903 was to pull the bullet from a live round, dump about half the powder, carfully load the case with half charge while pointing the muzzle straight up and fire it, straight up. That would clear the squib and no problems were ever experienced.

Brass smelting would be a good video,

In the hood they use "bullet tape" so they can load .25 acp into a .38 revolver

REAL LIFE MM2 GUN😂😂😂

Milling blackpowder, grinding up blackpowder in a metal grinder, it's a miracle this guy still has his fingers!

Dumb video odea: split a poptart with your trapdoor.

I have had starline brass split ( brand new never fired before brass) in moderate 45 colt loads. I think if you are expecting any significant swelling starline should be anealed.

Very interesting Jake! Ive not seen anyone do this before. Im VERY surprised the .45-70 fired every time in this situation.

Im not worried about the gun, i’m worried about what he’s shooting. Hopefully not an animal…

I would make my own damn video but like watching yours to much! Ever tried Mullberry? I just cleared a hillside?

If the damn thing could empty a whole cylinder without jamming itself, I’d probably carry it more. For now it’s just a range toy that makes everyone cuss.

Maybe JB Weld? Lol. Fun stuff.

I don't know if anyone said this before, but I would have liked to have seen a clear jell block shot with one of those. The bullets might have just caught the rifling, but I doubt it since the .45 bullet diameter is .057" smaller than the .500 cal. The .45-70 bullet is .458 and the .50-70 bullet is .515. I'm sure they were tumbling out of the barrel. Would have liked to see how much damage and how deep they might have gone. But I'm also wondering if they loaded those cartridges with the hollow base Mini Balls back in the 1800's. I've seen some of the older BP cartridges loaded with them. If that was the case the hollow base might have swelled up enough to get some spin out of the riffling. The hollow base also puts the weight at the front and the hollow base kind of acts like a badminton shuttlecock and are accurate out of a smooth bore. That was proven on the TAOFLEDERMAUS channel they used a smooth bore shotgun at about 8:29 and the slow motion shows it to be very accurate: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWLFfJprlM6Lb6M I hope you might decide to try a few out of that rifle, it might be interesting to see the results. I have an old Black Powder shooters bible that has still pictures of several types of bullets in flight. One shows a Mini that had a bigger charge than normal powder charge for that round that shows the hollow base flared out, so I'm wondering if that would happen with the .45 Mini Bullet in your trapdoor. I shoot several BP guns, my favorite is a Shiloh Sharps 1863 rifle I had ordered special so it would take 140 grains of BP behind a 500 grain bullet. But that is a paper cartridge and it is a lot of fun to shoot. I also learned that corn meal can be used as a filler for lighter loads and cleans some of the following when shot. Y'all stay safe and have many good shooting days!

In only one way are just alike I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to tell us what not to use and stick to what we need to use your throwing me off here dude stick to the f****** program

That is indeed a fine-looking M1868. Many folks do not realize that the breechblocks on the '68 were dated the year of manufacture (or at least they tried to), with most dated 1869 -- but a few each in '68 and '70, prior to the adoption of the M1870. The front of the receiver is longer on the M1860 than on the M1870, the breechblock opening thingy (forget what they called it) is squarish on the '68, rounded on the '70, etc. Anyway, GREAT vid guys. Something I'd heard about before and always wondered about.

DI is a bad mf 😂

The Flinchlock

There is no more Trail Boss do you have another load that you like?

How dirty / Leaded did it leave the bore?

I'm sure the manufacturers are very "precise" in the production of large quantities, & little errors at this level would have less variation in performance than small lot errors. like we can do... (its why we had to carry the decimal point out 4 places in pharmacy school calculations regarding med preparation)

re hemp comments.... some folks just have no sense of humor!

Do you happen to have a "chart" showing the performance trends with different charcoals.. (velocity, cleanliness, fouling ect.) Love the videos!

ATHUR WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON KZbin😨

You make damn fine powder, but I was wondering what the most forgiving charcoal might be for the rank amateur? F'rinstance I don't have a proper press - still needs a meat mallet to crack the pucks though. My powder is less dense anyhow, and pinus radiata gives a more energetic powder than cottonwood for me.

A 3 fliippin minute commercial? Screw You Tube. I'm going elsewhere. Back to tiktok.

Wow. Just wow, all I got.

I don't know why you'd question anything Carl with a K says...he's an expert.
