Back when I first discovered I couldn’t get blue dot, I found out 800X would work for my 2 1/4 oz. 10 gauge loads using less powder. I’m good for awhile and it appears I can get 1 lb of 800X now and...

That was my first Marlin bought in the 70’s. I still have it. It was a deer killer then and now lastly a cowboy action gun. Full power 44 mag. in the rifle feels about like shooting 30-30. ...
You’re so welcome. Blackpowder will make that gun sound more powerful than it really is…it’s all fun.
Forum: Leverguns
Wasn’t the original 94/22 a steel frame? And it did come apart like a Marlin.
Got it thank you. I’m good. So the only downgrade I might have heard was its accuracy. Has anyone here shot one and noticed that to be true?
One is coming up for auction. 45 colt and it’s the 50th anniversary model with wood case. Kinda feels like a S&W 25-5 except the cylinder rotates right.

If my bore is .364, I would still need hollowbase bullets in my 1901. If I recall, .358 bullets fell through the barrel.

I can come up with a combination of 10mm, 357 and a few 30-30 to trade for the small rifle primer 7.62X39 and some large rifle prime thrown in. Let me know
Forum: Leverguns
This sounds like an undersized bullet/oversized barrel situation. Measure the diameter of your bullets. Lead bullets normally are .358 diameter. Slug your barrel. It should be .357.

How much 357 brass are you looking for? I would trade for 32-20.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes, I’ve used that bullet in 32-20 as it has a crimp grove for my Win. 92 rifle. Worked fine but I’ve discovered that Lyman’s 311008 115 grain sized to .314 has enough tension to hold firmly in my...

Krags can have oversized bores. If you haven’t slugged your bore, start with at least. .311 cast bullet.

How about $30 plus $7 shipping in a padded mailer?

Looks like I have 45 new PPU brass. Let me come up with a price.
Forum: Leverguns
Larry beat me to it. You can do the same by partially resizing the case. Maybe just run the sizer deep enough for where the bullet will seat. I’m using fast powders ( 700x) for 45 colt cowboy...

Can someone say what Starline is asking for 32-20 these days? I believe it used to be about .28 ea. in quantity. I see 41 colt went from .58 to .72 ea.

I’ve got one of the last micro groove Marlin 1894CS made in the mid 90’s. I would have preferred Ballard rifling as I shoot 98% cast bullets through it but it’s been working just fine with lees...

I could see me doing that with my 6 shooter in one hand and my drink in the other.

Thanks guys. I’ll try the Lyman ladle next time for maybe a more rapid pour. I can hold the base plug in the melt with my nomax gloves but I always had to remove some dros from the plug and it...
