31 remmie c&b loads

[Maj.Bull S. Hitter]

I am looking for loads for my 31 remmie c&b.I don't know what min/max loads are.I just moved and can't find the darn paper.and was just wondering what others use.

Thanks partner.Now I have a starting point.Sure wish I could find the paper that came with the little remmie

I use 8 grains with a bit of corn meal to 11grains w/o the corn.
By the way I use single 0 (ought) buck shot, at about $15.00 for 5 lbs its much
less reouble than casting the tiny balls. 5 Lbs is about 750 rounds and if you
buy .31 balls they cost about $8.00 per 100. Hornaday sells both, they just charge
8 times more for a smaller lot

This forum business is great.I can get info on everyhthing I want info on and even things I never would have thought to ask.By the way ,as The little Lady would say,'Close your mouth and open your eyes and then look for it and you will find it'.
I FOUND the papers that came with the baby remmie.She was right again,darnit.
Making a holster for it is in the works now.So will look to see what other leather workers designs are like.Got my leather cut,but did it big around the spur trigger on account of I was not sure how to do it.Can always cut it down before assembly.
Thanks again for the load info.And ya the 0 size shot will also work.Even works to load in the 32 sw,32sw long and hr mag.Pietta says to use .322  ball and 7-9 grains bp.Cabelas says.315 ball and max 9 grains.Guess it's time to do some measuring of the cylinder, barrel and the balls that it came with.

Careful ramming to large a diameter and/or too hard of a ball in the lil' Remmie. I've a pard snap the lever off their gun with too much pressure. I use either .315 commercial or .321 home cast and a full chamber of 3f. Note the rammer will not seat a ball very deep. Buckshot will contain antimony and should be significantly harder than pure lead.

Best,
Slim

Checked the papers again and see that cabelas only gives the bore size.Which is .315.The balls that came with it .321-.322.

Slug the bore and check it to be sure. Check the chamber size also.
