Re: Paper Cartridges

For the cartridge or to clean out a chamber?

Problem with use in a cartridge is that it would create more unburnt (but possibly smoldering) paper residue. Unless the adhesive was highly flammable... Hmmm...

Thanks to Uberti the folks in Hollywood are making more period correct films these days. Great story though! And I still enjoy a John Wayne film. +1 But I will say my expectations are much higher now. Just rewatched "Quigley Down Under", one of my favorite movies. :D Always liked the vari...

I loaded a bunch of 9mm back in the day. Part of the deal with my brother if he helped me buy a Lee press. I loaded .44 Magnums for me and 9mm's for him. But I probably haven't loaded any 9's in 20 or 30 years. Since 9mm's are now the cheapest centerfire ammo available, I'd rather buy loaded rounds ...

My thoughts too, John. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the 255 grain pill. :shock: It handled full power loads with no issue.

By "full power" I mean standard .45 Colt stuff. These were reloaded to those levels. I wouldn't try it with Cor-bon ammo for sure!
