Trouble reloading for my chiappa rhino

[1066]

Back in those days I used the 148gn Bingley HBWC.

.

Now they were a good quality bullet - I used them in my .38spec mod 14 S&W.

I found that the 158gn TC's (Truncated Cones) worked best... if I use the RNFP in my Marlin I may as well use a shotgun!

I see no signs of leading, on the (very) few times I've cleaned it, but I only shoot up to 25m, so light loads only.

Agreed on the TC's being better than the RNFP in the Marlin. I could only get some RNFP from my club shop recently but by upping the powder load they are shooting tighter groups. Again light loads at 25 yards or less and no signs of leading when cleaned.

I received my Lewis lead remover from Brownells, great. Get the instructions out, ok start with the forcing cone.






Well thats a good start. It doesn't reach because we cant have normal pistols, FFS our stupid laws !

Miffed is an understatment.

cylinder is nice and clean now, works great in there.

I am sure you will be able to machine a longer version. What's the material it's made out of.

Yes i can, its just another thing on the 'to do' list i haven't got time for.

Its aluminium.

Do you know what the thread size is?

No I'll have to take it to work and try some thread gauges.
Being American it'll be imperial probably.
