Slightly thicker paper will be better than thinner if the patched bullet is a loose fit in the bore[I patch to bore diameter].One thing I've done is make a custom sizing bushing and final size the...

You can patch to bore with smokeless powder. I've been doing it for quite a few years with a .443 slick patched to .450-.451 in a 45-90 using both WC 872 & 867 and IMR 3031. In a 45-90 you do need to...

Kurt,If you show up at Alliance again I'll show you my smokeless PP loads.---Mike

Best answer is a separate PID then you can run it with any pot you want,and it will be far more accurate.

I started out duplexing with RL-7 when I was using greasers now with paper patching I load them without since there's a lot more case capacity especially with the 90.Other than that you pretty much...

I used to use a 3 wad stack in the 90 to take up excess space in the case,now I use a combo of floral foam and a .060 LPDE wad compressed .10. That's how much bullet is in the case. Primers seem to...

I've been using this for 45-90,45-70 38-70,38-55. I run a .443 slick patched to .450-.451 in the 70 and 90.My Sharps has a tighter bore than my HighWall and uses a thinner paper for a slight...

I've been shooting patched to bore paper patched bullets for quite a few years using WC872 & 867 also IMR 3031. Patched bullet is .100 into the case and lightly taper crimped. Accuracy is just as...

Blue Dot also works quite well in 32-20 and 25-20 loads around 6 to 7 grs.

There is plenty of adjustment with either the unertl or lyman targetspot scopes. I have an 8x unertl reproduction scope on my CMP vintage sniper and a 14x unertl on a 1903 converted to 22rf. Both...

Hornady One Shot cleaner and gun lube

Floral foam works pretty well.

The best way I've found was shown to me years ago.Take a jag and get a patch that is so tight that you have to tap it through with a mallet,soak the patch in turpentine and if you have any lead it...

I've been using WC872 and a 4gr kicker of RL-7 for years in my 45-70 Trapdoor. Pressures and velocity are in the black powder range and my chronographed SD's are in the single digits. FWIW

It works!

Take a patch on a jag large enough that you have to tap it through the barrel,soak the patch with turpentine. You'll be amazed at the amount of lead that comes out. FWIW--Mike.

Use a media separator for separating the brass and pins.Then dump the pins into a 5gal bucket lined with a 5gal paint strainer bag.You can rinse the pins out in the bag and hang it from the handle to...

Another good load with WC872 is 4grs RL-7 and 54grs of WC872 with a 466gr mini-groove bullet. This is a mini-groove that has been shortened 1 band.

I use Pacon tracing paper .0025 with a BACO .443 slick.Makes for a slight interference fit in my .450 bore.Since your bore is .4485 the thicker paper may help.FWIW--Mike.

Most of my case scratching went away when I switched over to stainless steel pins for my case cleaning duties.Cases come out perfectly clean inside and out with no dust or grit on the outside of the...

I cobbled together one from PVC pipe and caps. I used a spring out of an old Hunter rotary sprinkler head,works great! FWIW --Mike.

Just pick up an old cookie sheet,dump the brass on it,pre heat your oven on the low setting usually 200.The brass will be dry in about 15min or there about.No muss no fuss.

After you've tried all the methods posted for removing leading and think you've got the bore cleaned out,take a very tight fitting patch soaked with turpentine and tap it through the barrel.You'll...

As far as wiping or blow tubing,it depends on the temperature of the barrel.If the barrel gets so hot that you can't keep the fouling soft by blow tubing you'll have to wipe.Relative humidity,air...

The one and only time I had brass staining was when I shut off the tumbler and let the brass sit in the dirty solution.Your problem isn't the cleaning solution,it's letting the brass sit in the dirty...
