- Sharps Old Reliable . 40 Caliber - Northwest Firearms
A 40-90 Sharps Bottleneck has a case length of 2 5 8" A 40-90 Sharps Straight has a case length of 3 1 4" (There is conflicting information as to whether this cartridge was an original Sharps offering) If readable the cartridge, including case length, should be marked on the top of the barrel near the receiver I envy you your possession
- Largest 5. 56 based cartridges? - Northwest Firearms
What are the largest cartridges based on either the 5 56 NATO or 223 Remington cases? I keep thinking its the 300AAC blackout? On another forum; a person mentioned putting a rim cut in his 300 BLK handi rifle and using 357 Magnum cases necked down to 300 for his rimmed 300BLK loads got

- 9mm stepped chambers - Northwest Firearms

- Best case lube for reloading | Northwest Firearms
For a long time I only loaded straight wall handgun ammo and used carbide dies When I started loading bottleneck cartridges I bought case lube in an aerosol can When that ran out I bought some from a smaller company that came in a small, pump button spray bottle Had nothing but trouble Changed to One Shot with mixed results
- 5. 7x28 vs. 9mm vs. . 357 SIG - Northwest Firearms
I always liked the 357 sig in theory because the bottleneck cartridge should feed better than a straight wall ( or even slightly tapered) case Unfortunately, that round never really caught on Maybe it'll come around eventually OK, an even more esoteric round: The 9MM Action Express 41 AE necked down to 9 Fits a 9mm slide
