Printed Primer Pocket Insert Concept in c/filedrop
[–] QuestioningIsKey 1 points 1 week ago

You print what is essentially a primer cup and then put a polyurethane plastic tube over it, like a shotgun shell.

Printed Primer Pocket Insert Concept (forum.guncadindex.com)
 

I released on odysee not too long ago, and I was hoping to give this concept some attention which is why im posting it here. I had very little free time available to work on this idea and used pretty much all of it on this. I started work on this because I unironically got this from a dream after tinkering with the 43R printed casings.

I didn’t get a chance to print the modelo polylactico, so I ended up adapting the Harlot to chamber this cartridge design since I already had one on hand. The issue is, even after reworking most of it in CAD, the Harlot’s geometry tended to shear the rim off the printed cases—both the original 43R and this new variant. Between the frustration, limited budget, and lack of time, I decided to release it after about two weeks of tinkering.

Ive been working on a remix for the 43R, thought of some ideas that might make it more viable to increase powder capacity safely, been trying to test it, but when just test firing primers, the rim loves to sheer off when the primer is struck. Kinda sucks trying to figure out how to prevent it.

DIY Smokeless powder recipe? in c/reloading

Not exactly sure why everyone always lists nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin as primary examples, if you're wanting to reload pistol cartridges, potassium or sodium chlorate are fine for that, I've reloaded 9mm cartridges with similar standard velocities seen from manufacturers. Theres's hundreds of ways going about it though, double displacement, filtering from match heads, or electrolysis. I plan on eventually making a guide for it, but ive been busy with bullshit. Would like to take the 43R and convert it to 410 considering anything other than shotgun in my opinion for self-defense by those who cant arm themselves legally seems to be otherwise entirely useless.
