Winchester reference shown above.

 1 - Insert the primer cap using the ejecting rod of the tool kit like shown above (second picture). Push the cartridge case
the primer on a flat hard surface until it is fully seated as shown in the third picture above.

Note that it is one method among others. You can also push the primer inside the case using the same rod with the case
positioned up side down. The only important thing is to not strike the primer with a pointed tool.

 2 - Fill the case with the necessary black powder. The right level is a reached when there is no gap of air between the po
and the bullet base. Not seating the bullet firmly against the powder column can result in the loose powder burning all a
which can create a dangerous over pressure condition.

Note that any type of black powder (from coarse to very fine) should work, as the French Model 1873 revolver is robust
to withstand them all. It is just a matter of testing what is the best recoil for you.

Black Powder comes in four granulations. Fg being the coarsest (slowest to burn), and FFFFg being the finest (faste
burn). You will find the same grades under the following labels : 1Fg to 4fg or even 1F to 4F

Federal law allows unlicensed individuals to possess no more than 50 pounds of commercially manufactured black p
for use in antique firearms or replicas and reproductions of antique firearms for hunting, sporting or cultural purpo
Any other use of black powder is a felony. Local ordinances may further restrict the possession and storage of black
It is your responsibility to know and obey local statutes and regulations.

 3 - Put the case on the basement as shown above, and start the seating of the bullet manually.

difficult to compensate later.

 5 - The last action is the crimping of the case mouth.

Place the washers inside the basement before putting the cartridge case on them. Let the crimper tool go down (with th
external groove below), and push it with a mallet (you can also use a vise) until the crimper's face reaches the basemen

Just add some wax-grease mixture in the bullet lubricating groove before using it. Bullet lubrication is essential to redu
leading.

 The bullet shoulder that bears the lubricating groove has a diameter of 11.50 mm. The cartridge base is 10.90 mm large,
growing to 11.20 mm when reaching the lower edge of the shoulder.

By the bullet seating (second picture) the case mouth is forced from 10.90 mm to 11.85 mm.

After the crimping, the cartridge case diameter is compressed against the bullet to 11.50 mm.

After firing

1 - Remove the primer cap using the appropriate rod. Once the case is de-capped you have just to clean it thoroughly (w
ammoniacal cleaning solution) before using it again.
