We developed the only ammo that fits a 44 Magnum bullet into a 357 case!

So do you need a collet chamber? Another first!

No, you muzzle load the bullet. That was actually very popular in the late 1800s; target shooters would insert a case with powder from the breech, but muzzle load the bullet; thinking it was more accurate; and it was because the bullet always was engraved into the rifling concentrically. False muzzle, paper patched.
I am sure that is what Saeed is doing.
Not.

If you stuff that bullet into that case, post the photo.

This a loaded round.

The bottom half is .357, top is .429

Love it!
I see someone is making a breech load powder and muzzle load the bullet "Muzzle-loader" rifle now. Don't remember who, but break action rifle.

Any rifle could be breech loaded with case and powder and the bullet muzzle loaded. Ballards, Stevens, and the like were favorites in the 1880s.

that's how the old black powder heeled bullets were loaded.
oh and the 22lr still is.

These cartridges are commonly used in a rifle with a split chamber and a Trapdoor-type action. Various ejection systems have been employed with the most novel being the "delayed blowout" system. In this system, some combustion gases are bled off and stored. When the breech is opened, the gas is released and blows the empty brass out. By splitting the chamber vertically, ejection is straight to the side which makes it possible to mount a scope on center. There is some minor risk of injury to bystanders. It is a mystery as to why this system has never become mainstream. Regards, Bill

More reasonable: Circa 1955 John Buhmiller used a "heeled"/dual-diameter bullet
of .510-caliber on the front and something like .485-caliber on the back end.
Like using a .470 Capstick with an enlarged 22RF bullet.
That is one way to increase magazine capacity in a 50-cal rifle.



Most reasonable: Jack Lott's .458/.375 bullets for fire-forming .375 H&H brass into .458 Lott before SAAMI screwed up the throat on Jack's wildcat.

What a coinkydink.
New at ammoguide.com in the past month is the .480 Achilles which uses a "heeled bullet" of .476-caliber in a .45 ACP case,
a resurrection of the .476 Eley

I am rooting for a .44 Achilles.

Heeled bullets are obviously nothing new. Saeed's bullet/cartridge differs. I want to know how he plans on handling chambering, case expansion, and blowback.

I think he's just screwin' with us.

How did you resolve the correlation effect of the atmosphere on the bullet from the dry climate where you live?

Nice try, but not even close to the Saeed Special

Somebody has a lot of time on their hands.

I think our fearless leader is making a case for circumcision? (A VERY painful one.) Remember he's loaded .277 bullets in a 7 mm cartridge and had Walter skipping them off the ground 50 yards in front of the target. It's good to be king!
