Use a tubing cutter and scribe a mark around barrel , take a fine blade hacksaw and go around the line going deeper and deeper till you cut it half . Then take coarse sandpaper , use your thumb and keep rotate back and forth and turning the barrel till you get it smooth . Take a brass round head sc...

There is nothing with the 1 in12 twist , 1 in 16 in the 32 cal a little better for lead . In the Marlin I use Unique , sold gun 10+ years ago and I don't remember how much .

I would carry with extra mags . Both light weight and lots of ammo .

Good article on the 32wcf, but one should not confuse that cartridge with the 30wcf. I'm 66 and have bad eyes and I don't see that screen well , SORRY :oops: :oops: :oops: I shot a lot of 30 carbine 120 gr cast around 8.0 Unique in my 30-30 rifle and 10" TC pistol they were super accurate in bo...

I got 3 deer here in Tn with a 44-40 using my level 3 loads push a 200 gr at 2000 fps using IMR4227 in my rifle and over 1500 fps in my Vaquero . All 3 deer never ran more then 75 yds .

The new vaquero is design for STANDARD 45lc loads NOT any +P or ruger only loads . The cylinders in pic are Vaquero's not the NV . The 44-40 and 45lc at web are the same size and the gun blows up at the cyl lock cutout which is the weak point of a 6 shot , in 5 shot the cutout moved between the cyl...

I just got done shooting my 32-20 marlin . 115 gr and 4.0 Unique with SP primers it is a flat shooter . I shot it at 50 , 75 , 100 and 150 yds used same sight pics , all my targets are 12x12 steel , at 100 and 150 was shot it on cross stick , less then 10 miss in 100 rds I shot .. http://i189.photo...

Now, what does the cream of wheat do? Just a case filler? I'm lost here. I never fire formed anything. Gobbler The C of W take the place of a bullet and when you shoot it , the pressure jump up over 15,000 psi and force the brass to form to the chamber it is shot in , it is actually 100% formed and...

There's always paper-patching to try, too... I had friends did the paper patching and it is the way to go on a cast bullet . I have the mold , template and paper and have never got around to do it . I don't seem to have the time . SASS/CAS matches , reloading and practice keep me busy . Today I was...

If lead and copper don't mix, why do CB shooters use gas checks? Me, I paper patch, great way to remove any fouling and a great way to jacketed performance from cast. If CB stands for pistol cap and ball shooters , They don't know any better and it is a very dangerous thing to do . If you mean cast...

TX Gun Runner

In a rifle 1400 fps is max in ungas checked bullet so not to lead up barrel . That my 32-40 below left , if you gas check it , 2000 fps is easy to do , that the 30-30 right target . COST is mainly why I cast.

TX Gun Runner

My 4 Vaquero and Rossi 92 .430 will fit , but a fired case .429 slide in neck easy allowing for expansion and release bullet better .

I've been using instant cream of wheat to fire form case for 30 plus years . 5.0 of Unique and fill the case up with Instant cream of wheat and spit ball to seal it and pop it in a safe direction ..

If you like to hunt , 2 side of my land is TVA water shed to keep the lake water clear . and no trees or brushes can be removed , zero improvement and no off roading are allowed , which makes this a super hunting area and it is land locked .

The downside of having your own land and range is you miss the camaraderie and 'networking' and 'marketing' aspects of shooting sports, and the latter two have resulted in a fragmented bunch of folks to fight gun control, .

I've lost 90% of my target in one of my moves . These are off my index card loading information . Only the 30-30 are crimped , I never played with crimps to get a better group .

I considered using a tang sight, but my experience with them has been negative. They look great, and they work great - they're very accurate_ but the body of the sight gets in the way of my thumb and I can't grip the gun the way I want to.

TX Gun Runner

Personally I like the tang sight better . I think it looks more at home on the gun .

TX Gun Runner

The 1st thing is decide weather you are going to shoot cast or jackets . It takes 500+ rounds to season a lead bullet shooter and 1 jacket bullet to screw it up . Copper fouling cause leading . Without writing a book both riflings will shoot cast bullet great , just that the ballard has a few more ...

32-20 , 38-40 and 44-40 are bottle neck case that have a very thin brass at neck and if a heavy roll crimp is used , you could damage the case where it won't chamber in gun easy or not at all .
