Finally Going to try it

[4060MAY]

Finally got off dead center, made the mould and wrapped some Boolits, as cast dia is .399, wrapped to .4085 with 9# 25% cotton onion skin.
60 grs Goex Ctg, Poly wad. Boolit in the case .150.
Th rifle has a long throat in it and leads terrible if the boolit doesn't fit properly.

Some pic's. the rifle is a CPA with 1-16 Badger barrel chambered in 40-60 Maynard, brass is made from RP 30-40 Krag brass.

Very cool rifle.. and sweet looking ammo to match.

Makes me want to start doing some reloading but that will have to wait till days off.

...............Very impressive looking work all around. The rifle is obviously heirloom quality. A friend has a Stevens 44 1/2 in 22 RF and it looks like new. Your loaded cartridges with all that patched boolit sticking out there certainly looks 'Period" :-).

Did you say you made the mould? Could you discribe the particulars (not that I want much, heh)?

Scope is a J.W.Fecker, as are the mounts.
Circa 1930's

Thanks for your reply I have only just come onto this forum , Andrew 375 recommmended it to me . That is so similar to my PH scope , which went into production in 1939 ,would you happen to know what this scope is , I was told it was a Fecker , I recently bought it on eb@y .

There arent any markings on it that I can find I think it must be about a 15x with a fine cross hair . You see it as I bought it , not had a chance to even test it out yet , it should be going on the BSA MkII but I had a competition a couple of weeks ago , so I didnt want to start changing things around .
