Thank you, gentlemen. So regular factory loads are safe in each and not just the pipsqueak loads.... That makes me feel much better having had already spent the money, lol.

I just bought an 1873 in 44-40. And I am buying a 1866 in 45 colt. I have tried to read on both rifles with both calibers and can't seem to find information about using anything more than cowboy loads. It seems that the consensus is that the action cannot take standard loads for these rounds. My int...

A Hadji , desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old Jewish man at a small stand, selling ties. The Hadji asked, "Do you have water?" The Jewish man ...

I was looking in Lymans and I see that with lead bullets i can use Unique in 45-70 and 30 carbine. This would sure simplify matters but looking at the charge for unique in the 45-70 it states 405 gr bullet at 11 grains powder. it does not give a CUP table for it. all the other IMR powders listed sta...

I have a Lyman Manual and a Hornady and Lyman Black Powder Manual. I just need to see what folks like best and why. I really am not a "Bench Rest" loader. I am looking to reload to save money and besides I heard that the AG said the administration is officially going after Assault Rifles a...

I have heard a lot of good things from a freind the competes in IPSC about Tightgroup for pistols. I also use 5744 in my 45-70s. The Trapdoor likes this one a lot. I have not really worked the sharps with it. Thanks for the help. I have seen some of your posts on Graf & sons and MidSouth for oth...

An aquaintance of my dads was selling his guns. He has a bunch of them. It always seems that when a good deal comes along I dont have the cash to take advantage. Well upshot of it is a made a deal for; 1-Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag (like new) 1-Marlin 336cs 30-30 (about 85%) 1-Mossburg 590 12 ga.(about 95...

I have been reloading for a few months. I guess i need to narrow my powder supply to just a few types. So first question is... 1. what is your best all around pistol cartridge powder? now this is going to be used in pistols but in rifles too. 44mag, 357mag, 38 spl, 9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP 2. What is a...

Well, when I'm out and about I carry a XD9 and a Jframe smith. but thats for two legged critters when in town. :D. When in the country, I carry my Rossi 357mag or (prepare for forum blashemy) My AK-74 or AK-47. My side arm is my S&W 686 4in. bbl 357 mag. For the EBR's I have a chest rig that I k...

God bless you and your family in this time of trial. I truly believe that the worst is yet to come for America. My prayers are with you.

Ya see? all I read was blah blah blah Quigley blah blah blah bullets blah blah blah bad guys blah blah blah.

505stevec

OK they are gone. I have 500 cases comming so i can start over. What is this about walnut at a pet store? can you use something else as media besides what is at the gun store? I also may have a line into tire weights at a couple of tireshops in town. Casting will be in the future though. Just the th...

505stevec

Great advice you all.

+1 on AR-15.com what a great location to learn the good the bad and the ugly about ARs.

505stevec

length wise on all. The brass looked a little wierd too on the ones that split. Brittle kinda, though they werent flaking or anything like that, just wierd.

505stevec

Well I finally loaded up 50 rounds of 45-70. These are my first ever! My very first bullet pushed aalllll the way back into the case (my daighter kept this to frame). :oops: I forgot to adjust the little nut at the top of the die. After that one, all went well and the last 49 were ready to go. I use...

Happy Birthday!!! there now your a year older. resign yourself to it like we all did

505stevec

Detail stripping a Win 94 is a piece of cake. But considering the condition that rifles in, it would be a merciful thing to just send it to " THE J MILLER WIN 94 ASSISTED LIVING CENTER ." All those poor beat up and tired old Winchesters can live out the rest of their lives in comfort. The...

505stevec

I made a promise not to buy any for a year. That year is up in October. Until then I plan to trade if something catches my eye. What I really want to do is get into reloading in a big way.

Amen brother Preach IT!!! I just re committed my life to the Lord in June and I am soooo happy!!! My eldest daughter and husband got saved, my eldest son got saved! God is so good to us!!! Though this is the shortest Christmas (cash wise) in years I would have to say that this is the best in years!!...

My first gun was a Winchester 94 30-30. I saved all summer from working for one of the trailer parks waaaay across town. I rode my bike there every day (10 miles). It was the summer of my 9th year. Someone stole that and a Winchester 61 pump my dad got for $20. The scurvy dogs!!!

Emeritus might mean you are now a member on your own merits and not just cause we like you

505stevec

Thanks guys. I was going to trade a Springfield Trapdoor Carbine 45-70 repro. I think I had better stick with what I know for now. Though I would surely love to have a big 1876 someday.

505stevec

Wow, I am looking to get into reloading but this sounds intimidating. Just curious for now. How do you "change rim thickness"?

505stevec

I have several 45-70s but am looking to get an 1876. There is one here in 45-75 and one on GB in 45-60. Which is better and why? any and all info is greatly appreciated.

505stevec

Winchesters 1892, 1894, 189.... Well you get it. I also like my Savage 99. I have been considering the Marlin Guide gun to add to my 45-70 club. I have 1886, Sharps 1874 and Springfield Trapdoor Carbine. All repros but wow what fun.

505stevec

Last summer I went on a vacation with my family and my side of the extended family (brother and his family, sister, mom and dad) and got into a discussion with my big lib sister regarding concealed carry. She is among the misinformed who believe that guns in the hands of citizens is bad, because ba...

505stevec

Alas, the oldest I ever shot was a 1965, I believe, Winchester Antique 30-30. My own. I own several repros but that doesnt count. Like Ysable I want to own a few though.

505stevec

Thats me!!! this year my wife asked for a $200 shopping spree on herself. I said great! She asked me what I want. I said .22 ammo from Walmart, no matter how much you plan on spending make it all bullets from Wally world and you will make me happy.

505stevec

Wow, I never would have thought a person could hunt Gator. I need to look into this. What a great hunt you had. I am indeed envious as my wife will not shoot a gun at all, although she encourages my love for the martial art of shooting :D I have 45-70s in Sharps, 1886 and a Springfield Trapdoor Carb...

505stevec

a simpler time when people still feared God and distrusted government. Great post.

505stevec

Brother! Ya done good! I want one bad but until I find one for $500 USD or close I will just wait.

505stevec

Well I have told all the family to get me .22 ammo from Wally World by the brick for Christmas this year. I am too old to worry about anything other than what is practical for me and with prices going up and expecting bad things in the future this will be a few thousand .22s I wont have to get later...

505stevec

scary doesnt begin to describe!!!

carry a BIG gun shoot the dang bear and leave it. let the Game and Fish Ranger sort it out. At the end of the day I am going home to momma!!! heck with bear critters!

Thanks God for all you vets!!! America produces heros like him and they give the Nobel Prize to Gore for Global Warming. God help our country.

Please sir! by all means put 505stevec in the hat also.

505stevec

Guns? Officer? what guns?

505stevec

I took a mule deer at 85 yards with one shot using a soft point 110 grain winchester. They are great rifles and great fun to plink with. I had a red dot sight on mine for a while afterward. That was fun and really worked well. I took it off to get the original lines back. I heard from a guy who said...

Thank God for our soldiers!!! I am proud to be of the same country of those who have given some and especially of those who have given all so that we could live in liberty!!!

Another thought here. And I appolgize in advance if I offend anyone - I do not mean to. I have only the highest regard for the owners and membership of this board. Our founding fathers were God-fearing men. Yet, they took it upon themselves to fight the established authority at that time, and forme...

I promised my beautiful wife that I would not buy any more "toys" for a year. Other priorities.

I still have to decide if that means ammo or not

I made my contributions in the primaries. Nobody left in the race is worth a single thin dime of my money. :( FW, I beg to differ, the future of our country depends on men and women of moral integrity to stand on the right side. If Omama gets in it will be akin to Mao's Long March and Lenin's Red O...

I heard that Obama was going to do an infomercial. He can afford this cause all the good little commies contribute $50 here, $25 there and $100 elsewhere. I sent in my first political contribution of my life last night. I urge all here to do likewise. I often thought it was the lower class (nothing ...

I think you answered your own question about why the priest does not run them off. MONEY. The love of which is the root of all evil I might add. Priest or layman, a sin is a sin.
