OLR, what did you find when you got the case out? Cause? Old brass stretching out?

Re: What spares are recommended?
Gussy,
44/77 brass is pretty much unavailable unless one is willing to pony up $3.23 per case from Track of the Wolf. Mine is my go to rifle, and I'm trying to carefully preserve my brass. The case that "let go" was a donor, and by the looks of the raggedy separation, likely suffered failure from BP corrosion. All remaining ctg cases look fine inside and out.

Regardless of everyone else's experience with tight patches, snug jags, dental picks, etc., it wouldn't release. I was finally able to extract the orphaned neck by plugging the bore ahead of the chamber, heating up and pouring in a measure of 160-180F Cerrosafe, letting it harden, then driving out the whole casting and inclusion with a wooden dowel hammered from the muzzle end. In the future, I will keep a chunk of Cerrosafe in my possibles box should such an event happen again.
Last year, I got 3 (!%?!%!$) 45-90 separated cases at the Canadian Black Powder Championships, while it was raining.
I save my competition with this tool: a Trapdoor 45-70 extractor: very easy and very fast... just one minute to get it off, even if the separated part was half way in the riflings...
This tool is ALWAYS in my range bag...

EB,
Your 45 cal (0.459" bore) broken case extractor is an excellent tool. If only one were made for a 44 cal (0.446") bore, I would certainly give it a try.

Is the .43 Spinach a vegetarian's gun? Probably a Dangerous Cabbage Caliber...OLReliable wrote:43 Spinach can fireform into 44/77. At one time BACO created cases from .348 win.Gussy wrote:Is there any case that will make a 44-77?

Re: What spares are recommended?
Not a spares question.....
The screw that secures the hammer and the hammer pivots on, seems to get loose almost every range session. Doesn’t matter how tight I tighten it.
Is lock tight suggested? If so which “grade”? Any thing to be watchful for when I remove the screw?
Thanks!
