Hey Bob,
How does the kit work? Do you need a lathe to use it?

So what would be a good cutter to use for black powder .44 revolvers?

Looks like there are several choices in 44 caliber in terms of "cutter diameter".
How do you know which size cutter diameter to choose?
Or do we use 45 caliber tools for our black powder revolvers?
Steve
I had Charlie do up a revolver for me last Fall. It was done in like 6 weeks! No BS or excuses. Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!! Very reasonable price. I highly recommend Charlie. I've had him do a couple of jobs for me over the years and have always been pleased with his work. You will not be disappointed!
Yeah I should have gone to Charlie to begin with.

Hey Bob, what size cutter do you recommend for .44 and .46 percussion revolvers?
Steve
The kit I bought has only one tapered cutter that has worked for .22 up to and including .45 caliber forcing cones. I turn it by hand, use lots of oil and go slow until I get what I want. The tool itself might be 1/2" in diameter. I've seen forcing cones that appeared rough, had sharp edges or had tooling marks. This cleans them up nicely.

OK, Bob, I'm going to give it a go.
I'm going to do some before and after load workup tests to see if I can definitively show improvement from the forcing cone alone.
Thanks!
