I just go a rifle that my grandfather brought back from Germany after WW2, my uncle passed away and I got the ammo he had reloaded and the dies etc. inspected the rifle, checked good, fired four shots, the fourth shot the case ruptured just above the rim. I was very glad I had on gloves and eye protection. I will be very hesitant to fire again, but I am sure I’ll do it.

Thanks for watching. Congrats on your heirloom. That's a bummer the case blew. I'm glad you're OK. Once bitten does make people twice shy. 🙂
Great video. After shooting, do you just have to clean the bore or does fouling find its way into the action?
Finally after many years I bought a wonderful Mauser 1871-74..... It's a fantastic rifle!!! Greetings from Italy!!
Thanks for watching. That's awesome. I hope you're still enjoying it and greetings from the U.S.
Beautiful rifle
Thanks for watching and for the reply. 👍I actually have 2.
What a joy, does bp kick more than smokeless
Best!
Beautiful rifle, where did you get your brass from?
you can reform .45-90 by turning the rim to 15mm dia then lube and resize. 11.15x60mm.
Awesome thank you@@RabbitusMaximus
would you want to sale this rifle let me know
No wads? Great video, great old gun!
Thanks for watching. No, I didn't use any wads.
You only need wadding if there’s an air space in the cartridge.
I've the rifle, beautiful.
Thank you.
Bad thing is finding 43 Mauser brass is not easy
You can resice 45 90.
