.45 Ball Cartridge Model 1873 and Model 1898

Post by 45govt »

Here is a copy of the 1898 cartridge drawing that was in Al's first book, I scanned this from the book and had to redo most of the red lines, and then when I was in Las Vegas at the last Sahara Gun Show, the one in the tent in the parking lot, I actually found the original framed copy of this and of course bought it.
I have since traded it for a period shooting medal from some guy??? so I know where it is! :D

The second one is one I made up of the 1873 cartridge.
