Dogs Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hi bud cheers for that, been using/ loading Mr deakin 's "bottle top seal " through my 8,s for some time, and he told me about the Winchester set up ,didn't know about the spacer wad though ? Knew they were a good cartridge from past use , but to tight to cut one up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Dissected a few cartridges today just a few of the different plastic wads from some of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Farrier, Is the bottle top card shown the correct way up ? I thought it was placed open end in first ontop of an over powder card to open out intro the bore to give a gas seal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best for you not to use this system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yes I have followed the thread and if you look back the bottle top wad is shown fitted the other way up , also someone commented you had fitted it upside down back a few posts . So what is the right way up please ? Proper illustrarion would be good and also dimensions for making a tool as promised earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully suggest you speak to mr Deakin for the dimensions and the full instructions for the use of his design farrier !!!!!!!!

Dave at kelton Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 If you don’t have GD cup card kit but can make a Cup card former your challenge is seating the wad on the powder. You can do this using a brass magtech case in 16 bore. It just sits inside a 12 bore case. A coach bolt with a 28 bore base will form the plunger. I will refine this with a spring and shorter bolt but this first pass does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a couple of nuts inside of the case with a washer between them + maybe a leather one or drill a 16 bore wad to keep it central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shorter bolt and spring will make a big difference and a leather washer is a good call. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
