@@mikeryan9479 I have used it both ways, with the conventional hollow base bullets from the Lee mould, I would fill the whole base with the lubricant. With the Japanese style bullet, I fill the cannelures. I am considering a wax cake under the bullet, instead of using cereal filler, with a hole in the centre so it will still allow the base plug to work. I tested the Japanese style bullet last week, and accuracy was good, but fouled a little more than I like.
Hi , just discovered your videos on the snider and they’re really interesting and informative. I have an 1867 mkii ** which I think was Canadian issue , hasn’t got a DOC mark that I can see but has got “36” on the but tang along with the rack number , mine should be a 4th model P53 but it has the older style barrel bands not the Badderly’s , any thoughts on why this should be ? Be really grateful for your input
@@andrewherbert9938 sounds like Canadian markings, for sure, 36th Peel battalion. It’s not unusual for Canadian Sniders to show anomalies, like no “DC” stamp, or the stamp in the wrong place, the wrong style of cleaning rod, or the wrong bands for that particular model. They saw service for the better part of four decades, and they did attempt to refurbish some of them near the end of their service life. The bands probably got mixed up with those from another rifle. Or, possibly, everything else is correct, but the lock is from a different rifle.
@@jusportel , Thanks very much for the reply Clint , I’m starting to learn that these Victorian Military Firearms are rarely still in there original form , They had multiple lives , sometimes in multiple parts of the world , all part of their history I guess. Love your videos on the Canadian Sniders keep up the good work
@@andrewherbert9938 thanks for watching, and for the kind words. If you ever need assistance with anything, or have a request for some specific video, just let me know!
Nice! I'm also a Snider enthousiast, I own a couple of them! I also had bad experience with Pyrodex. Have you tried Triple7? I've been using it for the last few years with decent results ( not as good as B.P.) and it's easy to clean too. At the beggining I was using cornmeal as a filler to take up the space, then a fellow shooter told me that cornmeal might have some chemical reaction with the potassium perchlorate that's used in T7 so I emailed Hogdon and they told me to use inert fillers like the fat wads made by Circlefly instead. Of course, my preferred recipe is with real black powder, like Swiss or Schutzen, preferably, but when I can't find the real deal I'm using the T7. It's easy to clean, cheaper than B.P. the problem is accuracy is not so good, the load I've developped is 60 grains of 2F equivalent T7 because I was told to reduce my original real B.P. load by at least 15% because T7 is way hotter but with my load the accuracy is not that good.
@@elenas4878 I have never used Triple7, heard mixed reviews about it… I did try “Elephant” black powder many years ago, it was terrible. Filthy, weak powder.
Hace muchísimos años tuve un revolver Smith Wesson en cal. 32.20 y tuve varios cartuchos 32 WCF los que eran disparados sin problemas lo mismo los cartuchos 32 normales. Saludos desde Uruguay.

I worked for macblo in 1978 at Canadian White Pine (it's all condos now)still have a retirement card from IWA 1-217 back when you could own a home and have a life here before Wall Street and Bay Street wrecked the world
Good that you use Ballistol. I remember back many years ago I bought plenty of Pakistani .303 and the ammunition was corrosive. I used Hoppies and it was okay until I found Ballistol and the German Army had used it from the early 1900s till 1945. I also have a few Mauser rifles and they are in good shape no wonder Ballistol is a very good cleaner for everything and black powder shooters use it too.
Wow thanks for all the Useful information about the M37. I am still quite a ways from getting mine started. I still have to test out the coil and the starter to make sure they still function. Other than the fact that I found a couple notations and back in as far as 1974 the odometer still read 22,917 exactly what it reads now and again in 1977 again more service but obviously it was never run down the road it was parked. So I have a lot of what if's with this truck of mine. In Nevada all U.S. Military trucks can not be a daily driver they have to be registered as a parade or Off Road Vehicle that's all So Mine will never see the same use you have for your vehicle. Thanks for the great video.
Hopefully the video helps, I made it because there is some absolutely terrible advice cropping up lately. If you need any help with anything specific, don’t hesitate to ask, and I would be happy to make a video about it.
