My other Zischang

Here's a pic of my 32 Ideal Zischang. The project started 12 years or so ago.  Took 7 years to completion. During that time,I pulled the barrel and cut 2" off of it and went to a 32-357 ,my reamer design tapered with 1/4" straight for breech seat or fixed .A perfect round for black powder.Within 1 grain or original 32 Ideal case that got to expensive at $2.50 a case and just didnt hold up. More later on modifying stock,etc.Thats it for now.Pete

A couple pics in the white,after getting back from Joe Lozito he installed the DST's and RKS barrel.  The plan was to get the wood fitted then send back for him to color case action and rust blue barrel.He had A heart attack and we lost Joe.

Pete, 
Beautiful! How did it shoot with fixed in the 32-357? Tight neck? I would love to hear your thoughts on the reamer design and how it worked out….good or bad. I like learning.

I would do the reamer again,It's throated  for a 200 grain fixed bullet. For the RKS 11.5 twist I had no idea the 185 Hudson bullet would even shoot . Am surprised it does and has been thee bullet for this gun for OH. Since it is a bore rider the throat could be back to a regular breech seat chamber. Less air capacity ,as it is right now the breech seater sticks out 7/16! Literally a 32-40 chamber.Off to go fishing three days...more later
