new guy with rolling block questions part 2 maybe three

Post by Bill Allen »

I've carefully measured my last two (for now) rolling blocks. They are identical and both sport a fleur de lis on the left side barrel and the four sided flower on the opposite side. There is a stamping on the action which I can't make out. So unless I'm mistaken they would be either 43 spanish or reformado. I've cast them and they're a straight round. It's not a 43 spanish so I assume it must be a reformado. The casting dimensions closely match (relative term) the dimensions given in the handloaders manual of cartridge conversions. I'm now waiting on some brass and we'll see if i'm right'. Thanks for all the help to date Bill
