    Anyone shoot a Joslyn carbine?

    Recently picked one up. The carbine is in .56-.56 caliber rimfire. Any suggestions on a bullet to use? Was looking at accurate molds 56-450S for a bullet selection. Any other suggestions?

    Thank you,

    Pat

    Drawing is not to scale. Couldn?t find any C260 brass round stock so will use C360 brass round stock as a substitute. The case wall thickness ends up at .0225. Case web dimension ends up at .130. Should be able to get 35 gr of 3f in the case. More if the powder is compressed. Will try either 6mm flobert blanks or cut down .22 rf cases for the primer. Any comments on this design will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Try .22 Short rimfire cases. No cut-down necessary.
