    For those of you interested in the boot have a look at my gunmaker here regulating this double .500

    Gunmaking

    @Kiwi Greg is this similar to your medicine?
    He tells me 5 to 6 is about his limit no wonder the likes of Bell would rather use the 7x57 on elephant. Can you imagine culling with one. Bugger there's more than five in this group I'll just move along then
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Smith and Wesson M-1917 commercial revolver. Bought from the States by Great Britain during the second world war.

    Originally in .455,the cylinder has been shaved to accept 45ACP in full or half moon clips.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    I've got one the same with wooden grips and a lanyard ring I guess its a military version.
    Bit rougher condition too. Are the clips easy to get?

    I thought the moon clips are a standard part per se

    As long as the cylinder bit is a standard dimensions ons with a standard amount of machining done then I think you can just buy the appropriate clips and have fun speed loading

    The clips prevent the cartridge falling into the cylinder so far the firing pin with not strike the primer. .45 Acp head spaces on the case mouth,rimmed cartridges headspace on the rim.If you felt like holding the gun vertically all the shots would go off,but then the extractor cant grip the fired cases ,it grips on the clip.

    So the clips don't speed load? I thought that was the whole point of them.

    What he said- I believe that is the main reason. speed loading is a secondary advantage

    Gonna scope it? Are you leaning towards anything in particular?
