Hornady makes 9.3x74 brass, not cheap, reasonable and lasts forever.
1. Chronographs don't cost $1000. (dare I say manifest ignorance ?)
2. Reading primers and tea leaves have the same credibility.
3. Nothing unique about a Glock. Too hot a load is ----- (drum roll)...
The INCORRECT info goes ON AND ON. Primers DMS ! Does anyone here READ ? Buy Handloader ? Still believe the earth is flat ? The chrongraph is the best tool (absent a pressure bbl) available. ...

If you don't use Hodgden data from the FREE manual ---- bad things can happen (with any powder)
Over and over we keep beating this subject ! KISS applies !
If your load exceed the published velocity of a reputable current reloading manual (you need a chronograph !) using EXACTLY the same...

You're going on an Elk hunt and you insist on using a cast boolit to shoot over 100 yards ?
I love cast boolits, but would never risk a major big game hunt on a cast boolit. Yes it will work but...

It's garbage. Alliant Black is a direct sub, much cleaner and no warnings.

I sold a Browning custom highwall in 40-82 to an Aussie in 2015 with no problem.

There are tested safe loads for any older cartridge (or a close match) published in free Hodgdon loading book.

Stith mounts are unique and long discontinued. NO other rings will work. I own several Stith mounts. Aside for the rare expensive ones for Savage 99s, nobody cares and Brownell has nothing that will...

You're SOL for 1" rings to fit that mount BUT I'll be happy to buy them and the scope.
The best thing is the Redfield/Leupold mount and rings I mentioned before.

As you wish. 1000s of loads have been fired in old guns with this powder. No reports of explosions.

There is a Redfield mount especially made for the 03A4 back when. Still in production using turn in rings.
For a real 03 Redfield and Leupold make a 1 piece base for the turn in rings.

Any safe cartridge rifle that is safe w/black is safe w/TB.

Yet another score by Ruger to sucker in the "I must have every one collector". These "black pads" have blah wood, poor wood finishing and are typical of Ruger standards since Bill passed.

If the rifle is BREAKED it should be no problem as it won't fire.

That advice is NOT for a BP rolling block !
There are published loads for Cowboy Action 45-70 loads. Use them with same boolit weight and dacron to hold the powder in place.
Works just fine.

Better off to sell you Ruger and buy a Savage. Better barrels, better trigger and do-it-yoursef rebarreling.

It IS factory wood. It's from the "Red Pad" days when Bill ran the place.
2 grand plus buyer's premium for a 45-70 is nuts.
