If you don’t want to fool with the pop can cutting and punching, or if you just want perfect fitting caps, this guy can provide the cups. They should be as waterproof as the factory caps, tight fitting caps… You jus mix and fill with the hot stuff…...
Add a 2oz bottle of Stihl Synthetic HP to the SPG and (assuming the leading isn’t caused by undersized throats or something else) leading problems will be a thing of the past. Turns the lube a lovely shade of green but no more burned hair smell anymore!
I did similar to a .490 ball for the .44 colts.
The balls you’re starting with are pure lead are they not? Edit: I looked at the page and they are hardened lead alloy. I’m sure they’ll shoot ok, they may be hard to load.
I’ve thought about adding a Colt style bushing after removing the barrel and milling .15” or so from the frame window beneath the barrel. More machine work but it would allow a full length cylinder.
That is true. Mako did the measurements years ago and from time to time I’ve checked and found his data is still pretty accurate. Additionally I have an older straightline capper that will accept Remington 11’s but not 10’s nor the RWS 1055’s.
Yes, I keep thinking I need to chuck it in the vise and open up that part of the cylinder… then I pick up a Colt and shoot it with no fuss or muss and forget all about the Remington.
