let's hope they are good right from the box. My 1st one is soooo nice needing nothing but not a bisley, but would love having one.

5744 is a great powder in your case and rifle.

Having hunted large game like moose and such, the 45-70 was always my 1st choice.

I see now, same as the big snakes in florida, they dont belong!

C Sharps or Shiloh, both great rifles. It's in the reloading room where accuracy is found. My one Pedrosoli, a roller in 45-70 shoots just as good as the 1st two.

why kill Iguana, are they pests in Florida?

Your bore and groove sounds fine. Definately an overload. Dump the 2400 and like another said try 5744 using published powder charges only, Use cast boolits that are semi soft, BN10 works great for...

Looks good! I remain very nostalgic about shooting my old rifles, from early antique Winchesters to eary 22 Lr and everything in-between. Very theraputic for me and yes, my eyes suck as well!

Yes, pellets are very good in the shop.I have both really, and old wood stove and a newer pellet stove that gets used often. Pellets are easy and safe plus temp controlled. When it gets really cold I...
Back when, I used a couple Colts 1911 45's for pin matches. You had to knock them off the table to score and nobody used 9mm or 38's. My loads were standard loads with cast, never had one come back...
Had one when first came out, a smith revolver. After 100 rds or so, traded it to a friend and went back to my J-frame 38 spec for my carry gun. Still not sure why I bought the 327 but was not for me.

My SS baby sharps shoots very close to 1/2 inch at 75 yards most of the time. I have a unertyl 8x scope on top, use 1680 powder vmax bullets. Sometimes 4198 does very well too but I hate loading that...

Had two of Jim Calhoons 19 Badgers plus all the dies; great varmint guns in a repeater although I had his SS clips in both. Sold them a few years back and wish I had not but anyway, I made cases...
100 grains is about max for accuracy in that case, 85 grain pills do better. Having load tested hundreds and hundreds never got anything heavier to shoot well, plus OAL can be an issue in some...

If this helps, I killed three large Bison using hand cast boolits made from #2 Lyman. Neither boolit fractured, both mushroomed perfectly with velosity being 1500 for all three.

Prayers for you now; hip pain is awful. My the Lord keep you and heal you, may his grace abound upon you.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have 3 smith carry revolvers, all with 2 1/2 inch barrels in all steel construction. Each one shoots great using standard round nose lead and very quick and easy using speed loaders.

As a gardiner and veggie grower I neve kill any Bees, why would I?

Top Five on my all time list; read it often. Great post!
Forum: Rimfire Area
I too dropped hanging out there, I think the price of 22 ammo and the fact just about all the gun makers of quality 22's seem to have gone away may have helped as well. The 10-22 was the flagship...
