Description


The CartridgeKits Basic .44 Caliber Cartridge Former Kit comes with the two piece knob and block specifically for .44 caliber cap and ball revolvers. It also includes a marked powder measure for consistent loads, and a funnel to keep things clean and simple.

This kit is engineered to fill the chamber so that the top of a conical bullet reaches the very top of the chamber when compressed with the loading lever. Slight variances in height can be obtained by how much you fill or overfill the dipper. 

For lower power target loads, you fill the powder first, for how much you want to use, then top it off with Cream of Wheat to about an 8th of an inch below the rim of the paper.

For roundballs, if you want them topped right up, you should fill the dipper to overflowing, with a little on the handle.

Experiment with your gun so that you don't run into a situation where the bullet or ball will not compress enough to clear the cylinder. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

If you do get stuck, which most of us have, take your cylinder out and hacksaw the top off of the bullet.

CartridgeKits kits do NOT come with gunpowder, bullets, caps, or of course the guns in the pictures. CartridgeKit measurements are based on their experience, and you use them at your own risk.

This .44 caliber kit has been engineered specifically for the Johnson & Dow bullet from Eras Gone Bullet Molds. If you fill the dipper just so that the rim has no powder on it, the top of the bullet will be at the edge of the cylinder.  

Note that the J&D bullet DOES NOT FIT IN A .44 51 NAVY. 

You can use our brass tapping rod, or any other rod that won't damage your gun to start the bullet so that it clears the entry port.
