Wonder how hard it would be to get one to feed and extract 10MM? The barrel would need setting back, ut that would be a lot of bang in a small package. Great companion for a 10MM Delta Elite.

Hi - I shoot flintlocks and percussion most often. MY locks are tuned, and the touch holes are .062 to .067" in diameter. That pretty much reduces the need for anything finer than 3F black powder. However, for shooting trap or skeet in nice dry weather I have been known to add some 7F powder, o...

I have one of those H&B 'ahrks. It has a 'pole' or hammerish head on the back. My lawyer happened to catcha glimpse of the similar H&B hawk in the door map pocket and got excited, not in a good way. Seems in MI a poled hawk is a tool, and an ordinary hawk is treated less reasonably... Anyway...

Certainly.

Thanks for the update. Prayers go up all around.

Happy Birthday Paco!

Bravo

Thanks so much for the detailed information.

I'm using a tubing cutter to get a handful for load development.

I'm planning to use a carbide .41 Mag die as I can't locate a custom or factory die. I do have a 45ACP case gauge so I'll know where to set the die for height.

Foster slug shooters in my area regularly buy lunch after shooting against my 46" barreled .62 smoothbore. It shoots a .588 patched ball and anchors deer very effectively. Between 75 and 100 yards I get quite selective on shoot/don't shoot.

Bravo! & Congratulations!

Bearcat in the future?

Hi - Being a muzzle loading and single action type I haven't trimmed cases to length before. I need to trim a few hundred .243 and .308 to 1.2" Length. Making up some M15 .45ACP shotshells. I have no case trimming gear but do have Lathe, drill press and asociated implements of destruction. What...

Very nice. I really enjoy percussion doubles. Love those big bores

I have seen no corrosion issues with 777. However Pyrodex = pitting in my experience.

All the best,

Thanks and please include me!

Looking forward to the pictures of the roomier version also.

Bill - Sorry to read of this. Praying it goes well. Thanks for posting. I have a couple friends in particular who have shared this with me. I used to have back issues, but with some slightly more careful technique and a wee bit of borrowed wisdom I've been in good shape for over a decade. Small chan...

My other fire control system has a rock in it :wink: Even the most sarcatic of us can agree that the 1911 is tried and true. I just haven't splurged on one before. I am pretty darn green on all things automatic. Part of the attraction is I have a good quantity of 45 ACP I'm enjoying in my Ruger Flat...

Hi - Coon fingering a Remington R1 Enhansed 1911 .45. It has the threaded barrel, so I'm guessing ti's 5.5" or so. How much difficulty is likely if I try swapping in a standard 5" barrel? Any thoughts on this piece? I'm pretty solidly a single action and black powder shooter. Slow to warm ...

Prayers go up!

Thanks for the update.

I have passed some rough time's myself. Remaining humbly focussed on the next right thing and letting Gog do the rest has been a blessing.

Praying for blessings for you & yours my friend.

Once while cutting timber in a frozen swamp I paused to hunt a trio of rabbits I had seen just ahead of my partner and I. I shot the first two and tracked the third on fresh powder snow through a briar thicket maybe 20 yards across. On the other side the tracks ended abruptly. I looked up in time to...

Hi -

I have not loaded 9mm before. I have Red Dot and Unique handy. Do you prefer one over the other? I have Remington 125 FMJ, and 125 LRN to load.

Thanks in advance!

GreatI I hardy ever cut myself or others

More blessings!

Prayers go up for you, your wife, & especially your sons.

Always being cordial very helpful. My ex wife continues to have issues eight years later. However my sons and step daughters are well and continue to be a blessing.

Patience and peace my friend,

I've had luck with this product: Cynoff Wettable Powder. Good spider controll, Wood bee's lost interest in my place also. I take care of several places with this stuff. http://www.pestproducts.com/cynoff_wp.htm :D Use care with the Shop Vac - They have been known to go boom when fuel is available......

Nice! I'm breaking in a new .62 smooth bore this year. My son already have his eye on it so I better get busy!

Congrat's & Good hunting!

My girlfriend had a very serious stroke last year at this time. She couldn't speak, swallow, or move anything on her left side. they cut out a piece of skull the size of my hand. By December she was walking again. No speach or cognative issues. She still has no use of her left arm but she feels very...

Hi - I scored a Dillon 550 with 4 set up tool heads for $300. I used the press before buying and like it. Anyway, I got it home I am setting it up... There is apparently a small primer wedged in the primer tube about half way down. Naturally I am reluctant to force it. Anyone have any insight or exp...

zzr7ky

Bravo! May the Reds be with you. Some Salmon in the smokehouse would be an ideal way to celebrate!

zzr7ky

No -

I shoot as much and often.

However: I'm known to be pretty generous with friends and children. The air rifles, muzzle loaders, and Bearcat are getting more use ; ) The semi auto's a bit less use.

Hi - I can vouch for Cherry wood used in the smoke house for fish, ham, jerky, and especially cheese (in Winter so it doesn't melt). In my experience Northern trees from a forest are harder than Southern trees or trees from someone's yard or a fence row where they get better sun and soil. Others are...

zzr7ky

Hi - I use Cherry for muzzleloader stocks and single action grips, and knife scales. The smaller projects are the best. Most of the small pieces I grab out of the Fire Wood pile while splitting. If I see an nice piece with figure I paint the ned grain and put the pice in a bag covered with saw dust....

HEY - I just realized I was wrong. I have the LYMAN Sabot mold. The one shaped like a large air rifle pellet. IIRC they say 525 grain on the mold but they are about 496-500 grains according to my scale. I have the LYMAN Sabot mold. My buddy was under-employed and cast a bunch from 40-1 alloy. They p...

zzr7ky

Hi -

I have the mold. I buddy was under-employed and cast a bunch from 40-1 alloy. They pattern as good or better than Remington, Win., or Federal Foster slugs they replace. We are using Blue Dot.

I am haven't gotten them over the chrono yet.

I'd like to get the 20 gauge version.

Mike

Try here. I can't test it on this machine but it worked last time ; ) http://wayback.archive.org/web/jsp/Interstitial.jsp?seconds=5&date=1013174489000&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sixgunner.com%2Fpaco%2FDefault.htm&target=http%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20020208132129%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.six...

Hi - My browser is acting up...

Anyway, I got my mold new off Ebay for ~$68 delivered 2 weeks ago. I think it came from Optics Plannet.

zzr7ky

Hi -

I've been working with that 12 Gauge Lyman Sabot Slug also. I am having similar results. So far 44gr Blue dot is grouping nice like yours. I need to get if over the chrono before I make any more.

I'm using the cheapest Federal low brass shotshell hulls and an 8 point crimp.

ATB,
Mike

zzr7ky

Hi - I have a Bearcat. I find it to be fun and effective. It's pretty darn small. I'm 5'10 and it's tight. The Single Six is easier to shoot.

I like it. Great for kids, small women, useful in the field if I do my part. I personally don't see need for something smaler.

Mike

zzr7ky

What Gobbler said! I also go with agood sized stock pot. Over time you will figure a size that is right for the size/burn time of your stove. The idea being to reload both on the same schedule ; ). I clean it once in a while with viniger to remove scale. If windows sweat I back off a bit. Enjoy! Mike

zzr7ky

William -

Welcome back, always a pleasure.

I love it; love the color, barrel, the tang sight... I even like the blanket it's layin' on : )

Makes me wanna check the edge on my Wilson skinnin' knife ; )

Good for you !
Mike P

I do this also. It keeps them from going all over the truck! They don't roll out of jacket pockets. I really like the 5 round 30-06 stripper clips for 45ACP.

Hi - I work for GM. We haven't used lead in several years. So I'm suspicious of wheel wieghts these days.

I have been getting lead from dentists - the foil from the x-ray films. Also scrap dealers.

Good luck!

zzr7ky

Anyone have data or experience with Penn Bullets 45 Colt 225 Wadcutter?

I'm also interested in loads for this bullet in 45ACP for the convertable Ruger Flattop as I have been favoring that cylinder lately due the readily available brass and lower powder charges.

Thanks,
Mike P

Hi - After some serious leading I got serious with an old NM Blackhawk .357 . I polished the forcing cone, lapped the bore constriction out from where it threaded into the frame, then polished a bit with JB Bore Paste... No more leading issues. Lately I'm a tad lazy so I've been shooting several hun...

zzr7ky

What powder? I like Triple Seven in 3F grain size for inlines. I just clean 'em and oil the bore in that's it.

My Oster has stood the test of time and MANY years of making horseradish. That's the real test around here.
