Cloning the M1882 “.45 Revolver Ball” projectile, in the name of science! Happy Wheelgun Wednesday.
Revolver is a Cimarron model P 7.5” in .45 Colt.
Original cartridge top, made in 1887 at Frankford Arsenal, the removed powder charge in the vial at left.
Below is the reproduction, consisting of Star Line .45S&W brass, and a conical from the mold I used the original bullet to have made.
