My expander plug is .429, I use .428 sized bullets, never have any trouble. I've been using the same old Lyman dies for nearly 25 years.

Love the 76's. Mine is a Uberti in 45-75, Thumper I call her.

I really enjoyed the Rangers HOF when we visited it last year, lots of neat stuff to see and read, plan on several hours there. The Alamo was OK, I felt the significance of a major battle is lost with it being located is the middle of a concrete world, nothing remained of where the battle actually t...

S/W M&P40c.

I wonder if the rate of twist is the same in both barrels?

veeman

Didn`t you guys with electronics safes come with keys to open them, mine did it`s a Stack on. My Stack-on pistol safe failed yesterday, top 2 rows of keypad don't work. 3 new batteries, still no luck. Half hour search for manual revealed there are in fact keys for backup. Another half hour search f...

I took off my steel buttplate and added a 2" pad. I really like that extra length of pull.

veeman

Not a drop since Oct. 1987. Drank enuff for 2 lifetimes before that. Don't miss it a bit.

veeman

Neat. Those cans hold well over 2500 rounds of 45 ACP, I got 3 of them loaded and ready for when the time comes.

veeman

Not much we can hunt with a rifle here in Illinois, would if I could. Did hit a crow once with my Browning 1886 SRC, a few feathers floated to the ground. Lots of starlings and a few groundhogs with 9422 or 30-30.

My 47 G that I helped restore some 20 odd years ago, Dad gave it to me last year. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/veeman2/47%20G_zpsehrhywc0.jpg Got this old 51 B for my birthday this month to restore, looks pretty decent on the outside, but inside is not too pretty. But, I will win! http://i7...

veeman

Pretty much same as the old.

veeman

Got my copy yesterday also!

veeman

I got my copy, pretty much same ol same ol. But does have some nice pictures. I could care less who writes the articles, after 40+ years of the same writings, there isn't much more to learn about them, other than some history of a particular rifle. i like stories of what where and when a rifle has d...

veeman

Does this mean they picked up the subscriptions as well?

veeman

The Shield is to small for my big farmer hands, but the 40C is just right, and accurate.

veeman

The last 2 could have survived, landing on the 1st 2. Taller building.

veeman

They should reinstate it, with daily executions.

veeman

Winchester regulars, CCI magnums for BP.

Picked up this OM Blackhawk couple days ago, 45 convertible, possibly unfired. I'm sure the ACP cylinder is unfired, the Colt cylinder has the faintest of rings, possibly only factory firing? Throats are way undersize, will need reaming. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/veeman2/guns/20160311_17...

veeman

That's a beautiful photo.

veeman

I have had to have every cylinder throat reamed on every Blackhawk I've got, makes a world of difference. Always thought I was just a bad shot. Turns out I still am, just not as bad, lol. I'll be picking up an OM 45 Thursday, 7 1/2' barrel.

Thanks. Spalted Maple.

veeman

Got a few, old and new, everything but a .44.

veeman

get yourself some TrailBoss powder, 4.5 grs under a cast 200 grn bullet is very accurate and easy on shooter and guns, and fills the case little over half.

Me too, that's what I use for CC, 40c.

Ben Foster and Russell Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma

For knocking around on the farm and CAS matches, my Rossi 92 in 44-40 is my go to rifle. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/veeman2/guns/3-3-13017_zps6037cda3.jpg For fun on the bench and target shooting, Uberti 1876 in 45-75. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/veeman2/guns/12-24-14001_zps408d...

[quote="KirkD"] single sheet of single ply toilet paper

In what cartridge do you use a full sheet? I'm loading a 45-75 for my Uberti 76, and I was using a chunk not much bigger than my thumb. Does the TP need to be packed tight?

veeman

This 1 lb bottle is a couple years old, price tag on it is $18.95. I just was wondering if just the labels have changes over the years and it's the same powder or if there was more than one 5744, kinda like IMR4227 and H4227.

veeman

OK, I ask because the bottle that I have says XMR5744 on the front, but then on the side it says XMP5744, also on the side it says Accurate Arms Co.

veeman

How many different brands of 5744 are there, or are they all the same?

veeman

I make NO claim's to being an expert knife maker, but these 3 I made myself from broken saw blades I picked up at work many years ago. This 1st one is my favorite, and have used as my main deer huntn knife for over 15 years, the handle made from a piece of oak from a 150 year old barn rafter. http:/...

I found a .45 ACP bullet in a log I was splitting from my back yard, in town. It was a good 8" deep and looked to have been there a long time.

veeman

I just bought an OM Blackhawk in .357 on Gunbroker for just under $500. Gun is Mint except for some scratches on trigger guard. I know that .41 mags will go for more than .357 because there were less made.

veeman

Thank you all for the kind words. If ever I get over this darn flu, I'll get her out to shoot.

veeman

I'm waiting on a Lee Factory Crimp Die, should be here next week. This rifle has the larger "Uberti Chamber", from all I've read about it, one gets a few extra grains of BP in the case. I'm not much of a black powder shooter, but do have some APP in the powder room, so I'll give it a try. ...

veeman

I might as well share my new toy, here is my Christmas Levergun, Uberti 1876 in 45-75WCF. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.

veeman

12 Gauge. Stupid Illinois.

I have 2 older Rossi's, both pre-safety. The older one is a 44-40 tac driver and is my main SASS shooter, have not had one single blip in the 15 plus years I've had it. A SRC that I cut the stock flat and added 1" pad, feels much better with that bit of LOP. I use .428 bullets with this rifle, ...

veeman

I'll be getting a Uberti 1876 in 45-75 with my corn-pickn money this fall!

veeman

Looks like maybe the hammer may have been cut down a bit? I have read several times that alot of the 73's got the hammers cut down because they stuck out and caught on things, easy fix I guess.

veeman

I have only owned 1 AR, a SW M&P Sport. This model does not have the assist button or dust cover. I have never had any trouble whatsoever. For most shooters I cant see the need for forward assists or dust covers, not like Illinois is a desert. It helped knowing that I might have made the upper r...

veeman

Not a wannabe either, loading them for over 20 years also. 4 pistols and 2 rifles in 44-40. My favorite. Why do you ask?

I had one breifly back in the mid 80's. Never liked it, didnt trust it, always felt like the bolt was about to fly back and hit me in the face. Kept it about 2 weeks then got rid of it.
