I am using the individual forum titles as the monthly topics (going from the top down).
Well, I had a pretty good pic of my Iver Johnson Model 2, 38 S&W with Pyrodex loads, but couldn't figure out how to upload the pic. Using "insert image" icon. Message "upload failed" Just a standard .jpg. Don't know why.

I've had this happen if the file size of the photo was too large. Try resizing it smaller, to about 500kQuote:

This is an Iver Johnson Model 2 (Black Powder Only) I received as a bag of parts (some broken or missing) 30+ years ago. Several years ago I decided to get out the bag and rebuild this guy. Rebuilt and finished with Duracoat Blue and Titanium.
Loads are Alberts 148g (wish I could find more of these)/8.0g Pyrodex P; Lee 140g RN, powder coated HF red/ 8.0g Pyrodex P.

This is my first black powder drop tube I built from three scrap pieces of wood from work. Sanded, stained, and sealed with a sanding sealer. The Aluim tube I got from home depot, the brackets I got from Lowes and the set screws to hold the tube and allow for height adjustment I got from Home depot also. I got a few Swede Black powder rollers in 50-70 caliber so am loading them with RS select until I can get some of the real stuff.

Ha, just couldn't help myself from posting this special effects shot of my counter top after a casting session with the Lee .515 diameter 450 & 500 grain boolits for the BP cartridge Swede rolling blocks I just got.
