A while ago both Don and I mentioned how easily 5744 bridges and shorts one load and "lengthens" the next load, when using a powder measure. I still use 5744 but I weigh charges. I would even rather dip the charges than use a powder measure. That one bad day (high static???) when I looked ...

The only movie/program I ever saw that had just about everything correct (period, usage, etc) related to firearms was Death Hunt with James Bronson and Lee Marvin. Every other one I ever saw had small mistakes to laughable blunders. I still wonder if my Sharps is broke cause it doesn't make the soun...

Forcing cone looks a little "too new" to me even for an unfired but i guess it's possible. Is that scallop at the front of the top strap common on earlier (black powder) models?

My warm 32-20 (.313 bullet) Marlin loads would be a pretty tight squeeze down a .308 bore 30 Carbine barrel. I have a Uberti 32-20 and can't believe that with all that metal, it can't handle warm (but sane) loads. I think Paco said the same in his article on the 32-20.

Dang, can't I buy a guns that you don't buy also :lol: . Either you are my long lost brother or this is getting a little psycho. Now if you tell me the M97 is 44Spec, I'm going to have to make a road trip and whomp you noggin :mrgreen: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hdl9LJhb3RY/UPsJONsk7SI/AAAAAAAABEI/qN...

Acccording to Davidsons, they haven't arrived on shore yet (at least theirs hasn't). So don't go looking for one too soon. I like round barrels on the 73. I'm getting kind of tired of octagon and I sure as heck prefer good blue to faux case colors. At first I was a little turned off by the caliber b...

Leverluver

Surprised me also but yes, A2 was contracted to produce test ammo and do the testing for the 348. I can't imagine a company farming that out. Evidently even companies such as Winchester can be scammed by a good scammer and Alpin was one of the best (and one of the most abrasive). The A2 dissolution ...

Leverluver

Well Kirk, I think you're SOL on the Starline case length. I got to the shop and my Rem brass is nominal 1.31 and the Starline is nominal 1.28 so it looks like you are stuck with short cases unless you can get more Rem.

Leverluver

I can't recall measuring my Starline so can't help. The Starline is a little thicker in the neck (a good thing I think). Hopefully it won't cause a problem with a tight chamber neck area. I'm sure you have run into that with original Winchesters and newly manufactured brass.

Leverluver

I think the most quality for the buck is the Ruger 1911. It shoots just about as well as my Kimber and it doesn't have to be so dang tight to do it. The Kimber is spooky accurate but with the tight tolerances, it is finicky on ammunition, not so much the bullet style but any miniscule error in dimen...

Leverluver

Great cartridge. I have a couple rifles chambered in it. IMO, the Sharps is not that good of a platform for it. That tiny hole makes for a heavy rifle, no matter what shortcuts (short round or half round barrel). I went saddle rifle (26" HRHO) in 40 cal and it still came out heavier than I want...

Leverluver

You won't even know the lock is there. You have to take off the grip panel to even see it. If you were the "fanatically safe" type, you could drill a hole in the grip for external access to the safety but I don't know one single soul that has ever done that. Doing so is left up to the buyer.

It was an interesting (although tedious process) article on reloading them. He used a slurry of match stick tips and shoved it into the rim with the head of a nail. Probably have to find the magazine as I don't know whether they are on line or not.

The Cimarron gun is the old TTN, just a new importer. Parts are a bear but I have never a part part break yet so... It's a pretty hefty gun so no need for a recoil pad. It does have a butt plate.

Leverluver

Out of my Browning 71 the RCBS slug did better than any but, then again, it is one of very few that will even chamber in the Browning. Don't remember the load but it was 4198 at ~ 1800fps, minute of rock chuck at 200 yds. Have to agree that the 350482 did the best in my original 71

Put one of those 45 colt conversion cylinders on a stocked 1860 and stroll in front of your local ATF office and see what happens.

Mine isn't.

The gun is plenty accurate but to take it beyond the "plaything" stage, cough up the $200 for the stamp and put a stock on it. That's what I intend to do.

Leverluver

Yes, but it is surrounded but such lovely bedroom communities like Wamsutter and Bairoil :mrgreen: Actually Wamsutter is sort of booming again with oil. I think it is Exxon (could be wrong) that has that big new building...three stories I think. Hate Wamsutter though...goes back to a near gun fight ...

Hey Griff, sorry you had to find out the hard way but that bunch involved with anything to do with the Bakken area are a fibbing bunch of knuckleheads. They have a big problem getting truckers to bring anything in just because they are no loads going out (unless you are pulling an oil tanker), so th...

I loaned out my presure equipment for some preliminary testing on just such and round intended for the AR platform. It was driving an 87gr at just a hair under 3,000fps.

Same experience as you, split shoulders on 40-90 brass. Most expensive and lousiest brass on earth. You couldn't give me the stuff for free.

I believe that Turnbull also makes a scout scope type mount that attaches to the front sight dovetail but I think they are also intended for holographic sights. I don't know if just a dovetail mount would be strong enough for the weight of a scope. In any case it comes out pretty butt ugly. A 4MOA d...

You don't a double charge to cause problems. I use 5744 for my plinking loads in 45-70 and recently had a curious phenomenon.

That's quite a jaunt from Golden to Pawnee. When I lived in Golden (back in the dark ages) I belonged to the Coors club when it was just 4 miles north of Golden, up against the foothills. Even shot trap at night there. Just like airports, nitwits built houses close and then gripped about the noise. ...

Uberti lists them but they are a scarce as hen's teeth.

You're more likely to come with a 44mag (only made in blued carbines) which could use the special if a bullet with sufficient length was used to give similar OAL to the mag.

Of all the models (86, 92, 95) that were made by Browning as well as the "newer" Winchester (whatever iteration), the 95 seems to be the least affected by all the additional "safety" equipment. Yes, some of the 92s and a lot of the 86s have had issues with light primer strikes. I...

Did you do the "JudgeG" mods to get the longer OAL or are you making a new cannelure to crimp in? What is your OAL that will work in the bottom of the mag?

Pretty darn good artist also. If you have Snooky's book or Winchester 1/1000, I believe that the inside covers were his.

Neat pistola. BTW, the price isn't as bad as the Kimber 22. Hardest part of getting used to my Kimber was that every time I picked it up, I about threw it through the ceiling. That light alloy frame confuses at first but it sure is a dream to carry.

I was disappointed that the pricey BB ammo I bought, stated to be loaded with LBT 325LFN would not work in my Rossi. It was ~ 1/16" too long to work through the action. I really don't have an interest in loading any. Just wanted some large critter loads for the back country.
