M/L bullet press

This is a bullet press I've made in my home workshop for my Westlake muzzle loading revolver.

Nice work...👍 I've fancied for a while having ago at muzzle loading again used to go with a couple of mates many years back nitro now that sounds interesting...🤔

Thank you - Shooting a nitro M/L revolver is about the closest thing to a modern handgun available to us now. Once loaded you wouldn't really know the difference. The Westlake is built on a standard .357 revolver frame - just has a different cylinder that can only be loaded once off the frame. You can, of course have extra cylinders, ready loaded and only takes a few seconds to swap cylinders.

I also have a rather unusual 5 shot muzzle loading .32 target pistol - designed and built to allow UK shooters to still compete in International centerfire pistol matches.

In the turning target (Duelling) phase of the competition the targets face for 3 seconds, you bring the pistol up from 45 degrees, aim and shoot and the target turns away for 7 seconds, then repeats 5 times. This would normally be shot with a semi-auto pistol, however my M/L .32 can be manually cocked in the 7 seconds away time and conforms to all international rules.

 

Of course, if you would prefer a more traditional M/L pistol.
