Reloading for the Greener Police Gun

Doctor_M · Nov 2, 2014

All,

I have 12/14 bottlenecked gauge Greener (Martini action) Police Gun coming soon. I actually do have a box of original shells from the 60s for it, but I don't want to shoot these as they aren't making any more. I know that Rocky Mountain Cartridge Company makes brass for these, but they don't provide loading data. Has anyone loaded these? Any suggestions? I would like to load with an equivalent smokeless load, but could also do BP. My original thought was to start at a light 16 ga load and work up, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience or thoughts on this. It's an odd-ball, so I welcome any insights.

Thanks!

Isn't this the round with the special primer also. Like a rimfire in the center of a larger shell? the pin is of a special design to preclude building a 'zip-gun' If so primers are going to be a problem.

Good luck

Thanks... The original ones did have a special primer, but the all brass ones that RMC sells will take a standard primer. Thanks. This will be an interesting experiment I think. Am going to be cautious with how I approach it, but I think the approach I have in mind should work and still allow me to keep all my fingers. Am still scouring the interwebs for some insight from someone else who has done this... Cheers.

What about the firing pin? You would have to change it to work with regular primers.

Good luck
