Hello ellenbr,
Thanks for the reply.
Don't know why you can't see pictures. All my computers, and my cell phone, see them.
I seem to be having no problems with the photos, which is surprising since I am the least competent with computers.

Hello Der Ami,
Thanks for the reply.
Its a mystery ? ? ?
No problem seeing the photo's and this is the reason I keep looking here to see photo's of these fabulous rifles of yesteryear.
Please keep the photo's coming.
Hello Nero,Thanks for the reply.
Fortunately the 360 No.5 Rook cartridge is nearly identical to that of the 38 Long Colt cartridge. And that's what I used for reloading for the rifle. About 3 dozen years ago I purchased a 38 cal Hollow Base Heel Bullet swage die from Corbin. With this die I can insert a standard .357 dia lead bullet, pull the handle, and out comes the Hollow Base Heel bullet. This was way back in the day when I was selling custom bullets to those that wanted to reload 38 Long Colt, and 38 S&W.
In this case I wanted a 115 grain bullet, so I started with a Speer 158 grain round nose lead bullet. These bullets are fully coated with a wax type lubricant. I snipped-off about 25 grains with a wire cutter and inserted the shortened bullet into the swage die. When you pull the handle, it squeezes the bullet into shape, and bleeds off excess lead through 3 tiny bleed holes in the die. This insures uniform weight.
And ..... out comes a perfect heel bullet with a hollow base dia. of .357 and a forward dia. of .375 dia. Bullets are loaded over 2.5g of Trail Boss powder.
Pictures below show the process ..... now off to the range.
