VIC. Thanks for sharing the loading information on your 10.5X47r. I plan to use lead bullets in the rifle but haven't decided on whether to use BP or search for a smokeless substitute. The ammo that came with the 9.5X47r indicates that they used 28gr of IRM 3031.
Mike. I must have missed the combination gun when it was listed in the auctions. I bought it at the Tulsa Gun Show this year but it may be the same gun as it came with a bullet mold,a bag of lead bullets and the 18 cartridges.The 45-70 based cartridges are set up to head space on the shoulder and the rims measure .070". I'd have to set the shoulder back for them to chamber in the 10.5X47r.
I am a home shop machinist and can make most things that I can understand. I'm not familiar with the button die/punch. Do you have a photo or a reference as to how it is used? I thought about making a bushing and suspect that the expansion of the base on fire forming might lock it in place.
