Pin Fire Cartridges

wpjson · 10-18-2016, 08:22 PM

I am looking for 15mm pin fire cartridges to reload. I have found one cartridge for sale at the price of $65.00 and it is so old it probably would not fire. If anyone knows anything about where I could locate a few I would appreciate it. Thanks

There is an article in the November issue of American Rifleman on pin fire. Just an FYI

Go to Amazon and look for "Handloading for Handgunners." Nonte (sp?) covers almost everything you can do with reloading for handguns, including making your own pin fire cartridges.

Had a stretch of poor health and got a bit delayed in completing this, but Bob did the trick. Awaiting the cartridges now. Thanks Gun Runner

Glad he could help . I lived in the Az mountain and spent my winters in Apache Jct where Bob lives. I remember meeting him back in the 90's . I made a lot of discontinue cartridge myself . I made the 40 Maynard brass and a special rim adapter that slide over the cartridge to shoot the Krag brass in the thick head Maynard gun SORRY can't find a pic of the adapter .
