Howdy, Ive been muzzleloading for several years now. (10-15) I think lol. Started with a TC encore prohunter and pyrodex. Hated the swabbing between shots and picked up BH209 when it came out. That's good stuff! It ran fine in the encore and when the RUM came onto the scene I snagged one of those up. Ive run BH209 in it with no issues and am just now in the process of building my first smokeless ML.
Ive been looking around for load or test data of different powders and had come to the conclusion that it was all top secret due to liability scares. But I just stumbled across this board and see that their is a lot of info posted on here at user request. NEAT!!
My build is on a rem700 SA single shot receiver with a Brux 45cal 1:20 sendaro contour bbl.
What is considered max pressure in these 45cal barrels. 40k? 50k? 60kpsi?
I plan to use the knight breechplug and redhot nipple that Richard Franklin uses in his builds. I know there are other options out there for LRMP systems but I favor the ability to make my own primer modules from centerfire cases.
Thanks for letting me join and any knowledge I can obtain on here!! |

Welcome. I am from northwestern Illnios. If you don't get any responses to your questions you might want to post them in the main smokeless forum. There is a lot of knowledgeable guys here willing to help. I am a newbie also, but learning! How long is the shank on the sendro barrel? I would give that information if you post your questions again.

Welcome. Not cutting down your decision but there are way more reliable better sealing ignition systems to consider.

I spent some time looking at other ignition systems and if I wasnt a DIY kinda guy that liked to tinker I would for sure go a different route but for whatever reason im a centerfire nut that enjoys reloading and shooting metallic cartridges and i happen to have a lathe and capability of making my own modules so for my first smokeless build that's the road I'm currently on. |

99.999999% of folks here are going to recommend a 1.25in shank for at least 5 inches. If the sendro is the Brux #6 then some folks have used it. When I started purchasing parts I got a brux #6 with a 6in shank. After talking to a builder he recommended having at least .875in at the muzzle in order to have enough meat for a muzzle brake. So I sold the Brux #6 and purchased the Brux #17 with a 6in shank.

As has been mentioned above, you need a blank 1.25 for 5", Ken at Brux knows the drill, he does them all the time. You can do a #17 but a good alternative to both the #6 & 17 is a straight taper from the 5" to .800 @ 28", kind of an in between contour that works very well for anything you want to use it for. the 17 is pretty heavy to tote around, the #6 is good but in that Ultimate stock the contour I speced works well. As far as ignition goes do yourself a favor and buy the system from Hankins, it's by far the best thing going, you will be glad you did in the end. Jeff can also sell you all the other parts you need for your build and he has very competitive prices.
1-20 twist works well for anything you want to shoot, the ultimate stock also will serve you well for the average hunting rig.
If you need to pick someones brain PM me and we can talk. |

Not trying to be mean, you'll regret the cut off case ignition system. I've tried it, many others have tried it. It simply has it's weak points that can not be overcome. The Hankins Ignition System has none of those issues. We're just trying to save you the headache of building a gun with an outdated ignition system that is plagued with problems. |

Above I posted the sendaro dimensions that are given on Brux webpage. I ordered my barrel and a few other things from Hank's precision gun parts and When I recieved the barrel it was obvious the shank length was longer than what brux stated, so im assuming its a "modified sendaro". Is this correct? Whats the max pressure for this sendaro blank from Hank?

Welcome to the forum. I have a large and mill and have built a number of SML's on this forum. It may be redundant but use Hanks Ignition System and don't look back. What you are working with is old technology.
Pressure??? Staying conservative I would say 45k.
