    I've purchased a couple of hundred rounds of Cowboy 45 Special (C45S) but I've yet to load the brass. My plan was to use them loaded with a 200-grain bullet and black powder in a pair of 1860 Army...

    I've always found it sad it wasn't built -- they definitely planned a .41 Magnum Python, because it was mentioned in some of their advertising. I saw the ads personally. Then it was never marketed. I...

    My cowboy load for .45 is 6 grns Clays behind a 230 Grain SAECO Cowboy bullet (sort of a round nose flat point). Good for about 650 fps. Never wanted to go any lighter in bullet weight because I make...

    I have one, and I have a devil of a time finding dies for it. I will probably buy a replacement in the near future.

    I have the Officer's Model (not for sale). I'm outside the U.S. right now, but I've always shot it using 65 grains of Goex 2f and the Lee 405 "hollow base" projectile. It's accurate enough for deer...

    I almost hesitate to comment when experts like Mr. Gibson are here (greatly enjoy your comments, sir), but this is my modest contribution having shot the Lee bullet since the mid-1990s. I lube mine...

    Hate to admit it, but I was probably one of the dumb ones -- I could never keep the different "clays" straight -- always had to write it down before going to buy powder. Without the "Clays" on the...

    I thought it was a Calisher & Terry Carbine - a capping breachloader that used a paper cartridge, but I can't see the markings well enough to tell.

    Dumping the powder is the best advice...but powder companies mix powders all the time, and someone works up those loads. It COULD be done. Not saying it should.

    I haven't worked up anything for my Mosin carbine yet, but I had a great experience with 12.4 grains of Trail Boss in 30-40 Krag. Next up is the 7.92 Mauser -- and then I'll get to the Mosin.

    That's what I'm curious about. Based on using it in cowboy action shooting, I think it's probably OK through 1500 fps. I'm not trying to get it beyond that.

    I'm using unsized a bullet that drops right at .311 from the mould. Not a problem there. More concerned with how hard I can push the RoosterJacket lube before I get leading.

    30-40 Krag success, and a question

    Took my 1898 Krag infantry rifle to the range Saturday. I didn't shoot for groups, just a test of ammo.
    The ammo was the 200-grain Lee boolet, with aluminum gas check, lubed with Rooster Jacket. The...

    There is a cartridge case available to American shooters that looks to me like it would be of some help. The "C45S" or Cowboy 45 Special is used by Cowboy Action shooters. I think brass is available...
