How do you avoid the potential problem of the molten cerrosafe running into the extractor and other possible crevices as I fill the chamber cast to the to of the rim surface? BillK

Based on the casting measurements and the research I did, it appears the gun is chambered for the 8x58R Sauer cartridge. I have attached 2 pics of the chamber casting. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. BillK

This was my first time doing a chamber cast and it was a breeze doing it after watching a few YouTube videos. The lead I used to slug the barrel is a fishing lead weight the had the shape of a bullet and it worked perfectly. Now I have to either find loaded ammo or cases and figure out the rest. BillK

Does that make it a bit unusual? Makes me wonder who the original owner was. What is your experience on that? BillK
