General Hints

sometimes produces better accuracy so full loads may not always be required or desirable. Try
various powder brands and loads to determine what your rifle likes best.
2) To prevent powder grains falling through the flash hole of the case, place a small piece of
"cigarette" paper inside the case and covering the flash hole.
3) Pour in the powder charge so that the powder level is slightly above the bullet seating shoulder
and carefully press in the lubricated bullet so it is fully seated against the shoulder in the brass
case and also in full contact with the black powder.T
HERE MUST NEVER BE ANY AIR SPACE
BETWEEN THE POWDER AND THE BASE OF THE BULLET as dangerous pressures can occur if any
air space exists. For this reason the powder must always be compressed at least a small
amount.
4) After loading the cartridge case into your rifle, punch a small hole through the paper to allow
the primer flash to reach the powder effectively. Make sure that any small powder quantity
does not trickle down the breech block, in case wipe it away.
To make the bullet for our brass cases, we offer the steel bullet block which can be equipped with
wooden handles and the already made bullets packed in 50 units. The same bullets can be used to
make the paper cartridges, as originally intended.
