    I ought to get one of these. It must fire such a small powder charge that I'll bet it doesn't even smoke up an indoor range very much!

    Yep Jim only use a .3cc Lee scoop of powder, the firing pin does need a squirt of oil every 15 rounds, as the pistol soon gets carboned up with the parts being so small; great fun tho.
    May have solved the bullet head problem, there's a group buy on 'Cast Boolits' for a .225 34grn mould that looks like it will do the job. Did order some bullet heads from NAA took 10 days to get over the pond which is great service (£42 of my Great British Pounds for 1000 delivered), however I'd rather have the ability to make my own just in case Mr Obama decides to stop exports of anything to do with firearms!!!

    Thanks, Dougie. What size percussion caps do these little critters use?

    Eyup Fella Do you know if the 34gr .225 group buy is still running ? if you could post a link to the relevent buy it'd be much appreciated I'm looking for a suitable mold for a 297/230 Morris.
    Cheers Mike...
