Oops. Yup, left to right. I mess that up a lot.Can I guess, you meant to say "left to right"?
Thanks for linking to your video, and in particular, for showing how to use that tool to remove spent cases from the full moon clip. I can get rounds into the clip OK, but I have spoiled a number of clips getting them out. I should also get one of those hand rests, at least for picking out which ammo groups best.I've got a pair of Brazilian M1917 S&Ws plus a Webley MkVI cut for moonclips. I mainly shoot the Webley with .45 Autorim ammo because I download my handloads with those.
One of the Brazilian's is my nightstand gun.
FWIW, I've also a couple of Pietta 1858 Remingtons with conversion cylinders counterbored to chamber .45 Autorim.
45 ACP Revolvers
Here is a fairly unique mix of revolvers shooting the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge, along with the unusual .45 Auto Rim cartridge. (text continues be...www.youtube.com
Have a look around on eBay -- that de-mooner was included with a set of full moon clips I purchased there.Thanks for linking to your video, and in particular, for showing how to use that tool to remove spent cases from the full moon clip.

I have a couple running around here somewhere.......I don't have any 1917 half moons at all.
304 gr in a 45acp?!?!I have a 4 inch 625 model 1989 and a new 22-4 4 inch model 1950. These two pistols along with the K frames are my favorite pistols period.
Years ago I sold a 625 model 1989 with a 5” barrel and I have kicked myself ever since. If I run across another 5” at the same time that I have the jingle, well…

I’ve been playing with a heavy weight for reasons that would be considered crazy in the lower 48, but here I Alaska every firearm other than plinkers have a heavy bullet loading. This is for woods carry or most of the time around the homestead.
I’m playing with the 304 grain NOE in the ACP revolver can be loaded long. I load this one to 1.385 which is 1/10 longer than the standard COL of the 45ACP.
This loading is for special purposes and the standard fair is 160 grain on the light side, but I have 5 molds from 200 to 260 grain that are for every day use.
I do have a new 290 grain mold that is probably going to be a better choice than the 304.
I have picked up 500 new Remington AR cases that will be used instead of the ACP cases.
Almost. When S&W decided to go with the modern full moon clip, they went to Ranch Products to have them produced. S&W provided the drawings and specifications for the 45 ACP moonclip. S&W did not want to manufacture the moonclip so they subcontracted the process to Ranch Products who still make them.…Go to Ranch Products (the modern inventor of the full moonclip) and buy their 625 moonclips in bulk at a huge cost savings.
Oh, yeah I have a good supply of Ranch Products clips, and some Wilsons.
My application has been for 6 and 2; I don't have any 1917 half moons at all.
I wish I could find my picture of some of the alternate designs by Smith. There was one that looked like it was competing with the revolver for the number of parts.
Nope it won't take auto rim but my 1917 British proofed AR does.I don’t believe it will take auto rim but it will take .45 Colt + the ACP

Well truth be told I was doing testing and then life got in the way. But, now that winter is over so I’m wanting to get started again.304 gr in a 45acp?!?!
Tell me more, what velocity are you getting??
We have one in the case at just under $1000. It's a JM.
Right around $1k is what I've been seeing them at. Not sure if they're all selling at that price.
Jim Marshall, Joe Murtz, Jerry Michaelson, et alAt what prices are they leaving at though?
I can't sell that one, that was my best finish at natonals.

Not to mention, who wants a gun with someone else's initials engraved on it?
Yeah I would have to agree with you unless it was a medical emergency.I foolishly sold this one, sometimes I am such a maroon!
