Overpressurized rounds safer in a revolver?
NO! The revolver is also good to the same pressures & velocities as a self-loader, no more & no less. If a round "isn't safe" it isn't safe no mater what its fired in assuming the same caliber. -
UPDATE: Copper Fouling
While we are waiting for E.Shell to reply... I worked for a major rifle manufacturer, and I can tell you this. The number one reason for rifles returned to service with accuracy issues was copper fouling. In the OP's case he did right, once the accuracy falls off it's time to get the copper out... -
UPDATE: Copper Fouling
KNOW rather than guess! You can buy a bore-scope for peanuts nowadays that runs via a USB from a computer or laptop. It lets you actually look inside your bore length-ways or to the side with a mirror attachment. OK cleaners. I use the M-pro 7 bore cleaner & copper remover. You use them... -
Got a Deal on a Dillon RL550B Set Up...
"The data in the one book, one caliber books is horribly out of date. I wouldn't use those at all." Many have been updated. As for the rest that's fine you do just that. I will however mention I've been using it absolutely trouble-free for .303 Brit, &.62 NATO, .38 Spl & .357 Mag for some time... -

Get some of the "all-in-one Loadbooks" for whatever caliber you want to begin with! They're the opposite of most manufacturers books which list many calibers with their preferred materials. Instead they're caliber-specific & hold data from many powder, bullet & brass manufacturers. If you also... -

Morris tube in a SMLE, Part Deux.
They were advertised a couple of months ago at Sarco I think? They'd tripled in price & were going for the price of a decent new .22RF rifle! Mine came from e-bay IIRC some years back.- BFMIN

OK, this is strange. I re-posted the missing images & saw them after I made the post. Now they're vanished again? * sigh * re-posting here.- BFMIN

Almost certainly. .22 Trainers were a big thing in the U.K. even when I was a Sproglet! It was incredibly cheap, the ranges were easy to build & get Home Office Certification for & you could teach an absolute new to the game shooter probably 90% of the Riflery skills they would need before...- BFMIN

Yes, you're correct. I thought the pictures had all posted but I guess not , sorry. I just re-posted them above. It came as a kit, barrel/tube, bolt & bolt head & dummy magazine. You don't use the magazine its a single-shot, but the empty shell makes a neat "brass catcher" I have both the .303 &...- BFMIN

The way, way high pattern from My 14 Beezer SMLE with the Morris .22 RF conversion was caused by barrel tension! I finally go to the range & started by firing a 3 round group just as it was set before It was still massively high. Next I started taking tension off the muzzle nut 1/4 turn at a...- BFMIN
