In straight cases the power is compressed but It seems in a bottle neck case it is not. Won't the air space create a problem? also is no wad used?. Last of all my bore measures .462 to .463 but every one tells me it should be .468. Last Edited By: fiatmom May 8 12 9:25 PM. Edited 1 time.

The bullet has to travel about 5 inches in that throat before it reached the bore that is in you case .463. In order to make your gun shoot you need a bullet that fits the throat. Use the load I suggest in your other post. Try not to make so many post on the same subject. Keep every in one thread and in one place. It is easier to respon to you. Douglas "And don't forget. That isn't your Martini you have. It belonged to others before you and will belong to others after you are gone. Look after it, and pass it on with pride. It deserves it." Malcolm Cobb, The Martini Henry Note-book ******* To find things Martini go to: WWW.MartiniHenry.com**
