  • HOW to LOAD COWBOY FAST DRAW CARTRIDGES By: Cal Eilrich A.K.A
    HOW TO LOAD COWBOY FAST DRAW CARTRIDGES By: Cal Eilrich a.k.a. Quick Cal, Executive Director CFDA Revised: November 27th, 2016 In 2007, we began researching various methods used to load Cowboy Fast Draw Cartridges for CFDA Titled Championship events. Everyone seemed to have their own formula. Some loaded them by hand and some loaded them on progressive loading presses. We found a wide variety of results, some even within the same tournament in which there was found 300+ (fps) variations in velocities. This meant that championships could have been decided because of ammunition variations of as much as 2 hundredths of a second (.020), which is a huge amount of time in Cowboy Fast Draw. We simply had to do better. In reality there will always be some variations in velocities even in factory live ammunition, at 15 – 20 fps. Bullseye shooters use techniques such as matched brass, matched bullets and a trickle powder charge to get it tighter than that. We also have to keep in mind that wax bullets, due to density variances, can never be manufactured and sized as exact as lead or jacketed bullets can be. After extensive testing, we have found that it is possible to reduce the velocity variances to around 30 – 40 fps, which only amounts to a few thousandths of a second. This is true with both CFD Cartridges and Shotgun Primer Loads. This article is about addressing, not only various components, but also loading techniques, and the best equipment used to load them. • Brass • Brass is the first step in producing consistent cartridges, make sure that you tumble them thoroughly, before removing the primers.

  • Dictionary of Explosives
    DICTIONARY OF EXPLOSIVES BY ARTHUR MARSHALL A .C .G j., F.I.C., F.C.S. CHEMICAL INSPECTOR INDIAN ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT PHILADELPHIA P. BLAKISTON’S SON & CO. 1012 WALNUT STREET 1920 Printed in Great Britain INTRODUCTION It is a generation since a dictionary of explosives has been published, and, in the meantime, many new explosives have been introduced. It is hoped, therefore, that this small volume, giving concise information about these special materials, may prove useful to those who have to deal with them. In Cundill and Thomson’s “ Dictionary of Explosives,” issued in 1895, there arc many entries of the names of inventors and of mixtures which had been proposed but have never been used commercially, nor are likely to be. As modem explosives were then in their infancy, it was no doubt wise to insert all the available information whether it appeared to be important or not; but now it seems to me better to restrict the scope of the dictionary so as to keep its size within moderate limits. Practically only explosives with special or proprietary names are therefore dealt with here. For information concerning chemical substances, such as the nitro-toluenes and other nitro-compounds, reference should be made to the text-books on explosives and chemistry. A few words may, however, be said here about the nitro- celluloses. These are made by treating cellulose with a mix­ ture of nitric and sulphuric acids, and then purifying the product by washing it thoroughly with hot water. The variety of cellulose most used for this purpose is cotton, and the product obtained from it is frequently called nitrocotton, three special varieties of which are collodion cotton, pyro- collodion and guncotton (q.
