In this video we'll use the Lyman 310 reloading tool to make .38 Spl black powder ammunition for a Howell's Old West Conversions 1851 Navy cartridge conversion revolver.

  • do you have to compress the powder for black powder?

  • @danthman114 It depends on thge brand of powder. Goex likes a little compression. A tenth of an inch will do.

  • Lymans still has dies for this tool, but the tool is back ordered.

  • @mik22pik I have bought dies from Lyman, but, to be honest, I doubt if I ever will again. Lyman just isn't set up well for direct sales to consumers. You can wait a long time for stuff and get no status updates from them. For new Lyman gear, I have much better experiences ordering from Midway USA than direct from Lyman. But for 310 tool gear, I would check eBay first. There is always a ton of used 310 stuff on the market.

  • You might want to get a universal deccaper to solve your decapping issues

  • @spritrocks I have one that I mostly use for black powder rifle cases, but I wanted to show a technique anyone could do.

  • @josephgioielli lyman still makes them there not too bad

  • If that tool is from 1970, 12.50 in today's money it would cost 72.98.

    So lets not wish too hard for those days back.

    If it is older than 1970, it would be even worse.

    So I guess

  • I have one of these tools and found this video to be most informative and easy to follow. Thanks.

  • @busyhands94 Its not just a conversion cylinder a gunsmith converted it. Converting like this example needed a cylinder, a firing pin, and an ejector. It makes it into a near completly new gun. There are conversion cylinders out there that are cylinder only conversions but they aren't near as nice as this.☺

  • that is so cool! i need to buy one and get one of those cartridge conversion cylinders!
