Well, I got a .62, a .66, a .69, and a .75, that is not counting the 2.o mounted on wheels. I'll be turkey hunting with the .66.Know anyone else with one?

Nice! Bet none are flamethrowers like mine. It's kinda useless for anything other than putting on a show though. lol
Do you use black powder or pyrodex? I'm looking for somewhere i can buy 2F.

I had to look it up. I believe you should be able to use the 38spc dies and while it will work with 38 caliber bullets the ideal would be .359 ones.
It is not the easiest obscure caliber but it is also not too hard.
You might be able to use a cut die from 4.45x39 to O-Size the brass (needs more research)
38 S&W As donor...
And cut the brass from 38 special cases but they have to be trimmed and refaced.
If you can get all components and for low volume reloading you can have everything you need to reload
in a shoe box and reload by volume using a very mild and safe recipe.

Yes, black powder only. A quick search and you will find places that will ship to your door.

This thread also motivated me to do a little more research. 38 S&W brass. Some brands apparently will work, others have to turn the rim from the front. Some report that 38 short colt will also work. Some have used 9mm dies. I'll probably just go ahead and order a box from Gads. They make the brass from 38 s&w. It's $50 for a box of 50 shipped.
If anyone has some 38 S&W brass that they could mic the rim on and let me know the thickness. I have to mic the chambers on my cylinder to check the depth.

38 S&W is a tad short but I could work if you have honed chambers.
I can take a closer look but initially you should be able to easily produce this brass and reload by volume.
At least enough for that much shooting.
Why don't you do something and measure your chamber a little before you order or decide to reload.
Some chambers (specially service guns) might be "stretched" and even easier to headspace with modified brass.

Looks like you could use that to start a camp fire.Finally got some better pictures of the coach gun, aka the "flamethrower". The test with the .375 caliber round ball went well.
Next step is to pick up some .69 caliber round ball, and test fire that.
