Tried many guns. A long time ago, I was trained on Model 1911. Too big to carry concealed. I tried every holster. I have settled on the Sig 365XL. Great gun with good capacity. When it is...

I agree with most. Lyman is my go to manual. I know you asked for latest, but no one should be without Ken Water's : "Pet Loads".

Beautiful rifle. I have an earlier one without the side loading gate. I believe yours is the better looking.
I would like to thank everyone for their input. After reading the supplied links and responses in this thread, I ordered the Bianchi 111.
Recently purchased one of the new Colt Pythons. Six inch barrel. Looking for recommendations on a holster. Just a "walking around the pasture" type holster. I want to know what really works for...

A 1998 Browning 1895 BPCR new in the box. Believe I gave too much for it, but it's mine! In 45-70. I know absolutely nothing about loading black powder. Looks like an old dog will have to learn...

Got into shooting "Trap" in about 1970. I was in the Navy. I made almost zilch for money. Bought a MEC 600Jr. (Still have it!). You know what? I discovered I loved reloading as much as shooting...

These were the superstars of their day. There was no NBA or NFL.
Thank you pietro.
Yes, I found that brief statement. I guess I wanted to know a little history about their receiver sights. I have several of their original scopes. When I was a kid growing up,...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Mods feel free to move.
I recently bought a Redfield receiver sight. I have looked, and found very scant info on the company. Yes I know they...

My Dad grew up during the depression. He was one of eleven kids. Raised on a farm. He would run up and down the creeks hunting squirrel with an old hand me down single shot .22. I remember as a...
I am just the opposite! I have two barns, two sheds, a garage and a reloading room. I know I own something, but will be darned if I know where it is!

Wanted an 1886 Winchester for years. I don't know why, but I was never willing to pay the price or I could not find what I wanted. Uncle Joe said he was going to stop internet sales. I bought one,...

If it helps any, I have a modern Winchester 94. My bore slugged at .377. I use the starline short brass also. As for bullet, I use Missouri Cast Bullets, RNFP .379 sized, 245grain. They...

I too use it for 45/70, 38/55, .35 Remington, 9.3X62 and others. If I could only have one powder, not sure this is the one, but it would be on the short list!

I own two Miroku/Winchesters. I agree, the quality is outstanding. If the price is that good, don't let it get away. You will hate yourself later. At the worst, think of it as an investment.

I always hate it when the OP does not come back with the results. The 45/90 was on Gunbroker of course. I sent several emails to the owner. I never received a response. It is a leap of faith to...

Randy, I knew it was an express round. Looking thru my bullet supply, I found several hundred gas checked 300 grain bullets. I bought them at one time or another.

Thank you everyone! I was afraid there was some downside that I was not aware of.

I have wanted a Model 1886 Winchester for a very long time. Something always seemed to get in the way. I have come across a new 1886 in 45/90 caliber. It is at a reasonable price. I reload, but...

How sad. Grumpa will be missed. Every time I shoot some of his 35 Remington brass I'll think of him.
