I use the same in my Snider as I do in my Enfield P53. Mind you I can also use .600 round ball in the Snider to good effect at short range

Great photos - the top one really puts the size of the cartridge in perspective...looks like you could throw it as a grenade!jjvc wrote:Some of Droomies Snider's
Question for Droomie: As you have 3 of those beauties ( tongueout ) - Do you treat them like other rifles, and keep the brass separate for each rifle, or make a 'standard' which can be used in all?....i.e...is there any significant expantion, and do the chambers vary much?

Thanks Christel for posting my pictures, as you can see I had to let in a piece of wood just behind the lock. The Nepalese Sniders can be very afordable and you stand a chance of getting one with british marked parts

Dougan, I don't batch my cases to any rifle and I don't size them either. The boolit is hand seated on the filler column, card wads, grease cookie, beeswax scrubber, carded wool, whatever your filler column is composed of and then gently compressed to make the wad into a filler, the powder being previously gently compressed perhaps 1/16". A gently roll crimp into the boolit cannelure or over the shoulder of the boolit holds it all in place and away you go.

Grant I have an interesting "mystery carbine" I'm playing with at the moment, damned if I can figure out what it is but hope to shortly with some help.

Sounds interesting - any clues to what it could be?

So does that mean that there's a lot of tolerance between chamber and case?...and how many times can you use the cases?dromia wrote:Dougan, I don't batch my cases to any rifle and I don't size them either.
