danyboy, anyone who tells you that the cruise missile shoots great, ask them at what distance and show us your groups.

Thanks scb holding the spring back while trying to thread that screw was almost as tough as setting the main springs. I have it up and running now ready for some cowboy shootin. Thank you

I have put together a 12g lefever nitro from a basket case gun shop find and have discovered that I must be missing some hardware that holds the return spring for the barrel locking lever. I do have...
52gr. of 3031 would be the load if you ever booked a T-Rex hunt. Otherwise 42g. (approx. 1600fps) will work just fine, I shoot it out to the 500m. Ram bank.

I just had a great time at the range with mine today (45-70), shot it out to the turkey bank (385m) chippin at rocks offhand. I shot all 50 rnds. that I had loaded, before I knew it. Best load so far...
You can kill a boar with a sharp stick, but I would like pics of your groups! with distance. Pics also of groups at the 1900 fps that you mentioned you would like to achieve (with no gas check).
To get to the velocity that you want you will need the gas checks.
Forum: Casting Equipment
I have been considering going back to a ladle instead of bottom pour. How consistant is your boolit weights? Im thinking I would throw less back in the pot.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Are you talking m.o.a with cast? The heavy barrel contour will be more rigid with less harmonics.
Is money to be sent to the sbowers address? and may I enter more than one class?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Wheeler Engineering bore lapping kit from MidwayUSA works for me. I use the 600 grit mostly, it just seems to smooth out the burrs from the machining process.

Take a good chamber cast and you will probably find a crooked throat, I fought with a Rem 700 for a year. Understood after looking at chamber cast. Every boolit was damaged upon firing.

LoL!, Thats funny! They gave you ideal numbers. My buffalo classic for example is .458 . my .308 is .310 I had to lap out the nose of some lee molds so that the nose would be supported in the large...

That is a fact, Ranch Dog will have the molds and oversize sizing die that you will need also, for a very reasonable price.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Slug the barrel and measure your twist if it is the 1:38 like I had it will only shoot well with oversize boolit loaded kind of hot.
19gr. of sr4759 is a favorite of many for a 1:10 twist .308. (no filler)

Ray, one of the great things about peeps is that you only have to juggle two things instead of three like a blade and notch. Your eye will automatically put the post in the center due...

Hi Ray, I dont mean to hijack, but I just sent my handi-rifle receiver to be fitted with the 32" 45-70 barrel so I was wondering if you are able to measure your front sight height for me. I am going...

Thats right, never worked for a lab and never intend to. There is no ones health or freedom riding on these results, so lets take it easy!
