Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

The new Buckhammer is an answer to a question nobody asked! Many states that once had this 1.8" length rule have recently dropped it, so they are late to the game which tells me this cartridge might not see many sales, or chamberings.

Val,the right case was just a 32-40 I fired in the 9.1x51R chamber. It's not fully formed but appears to be a straight taper to .35 caliber. 
Case on left was a 30-30 for comparison


My mistake! It appears the 9.1x51R is much like the .35-40 that Barry Darr and others chambered for from .32-40 brass, or formed down .38-55 brass. 
How old a cartridge is the 9.1x51R? I don't see this cartridge in any of my references?


I found an auction for a German multi barrel in 9.1x51R from the late 1800's but my feeling mine is  a custom 35 cal case the gunsmith decided to name randomly

Vall-If the 35-40 you are referring to is the Darr 35-40, my Darr 35-40 has a similar chamber that I believe was designed as a breach seat only chamber. I bought a Weber breach seater and changed the case to match the chamber, and the narrow neck guides the bullet into alignment. The rifle shoots very well breach seated BTW. 


This chamber appears to be done improperly on my Darr Rolling Block. A chamber cast revealed it's a .350 OD neck, which is much too small. Not sure how they reamed it to end up that way, but I'm going to have to ream it out, so it will be a .35/.30-30 based on .30-30 or .32 Win Spl. cases instead. This will allow me to use cheap brass, and simply open it up to accept .357 bullets from the Darr mold. Just waiting for 4D to send me the reamer so we can ream it.
