Its a good barrel but Starline wants too much for their brass now a days.

hmmm.. I have a Trapdoor in 50-70. I wonder if it could be relined to 45-70 easier than a 45-70 barrel.
[QUOTE=Texas by God;5573704]Is the 9x21 the same as the 9mm Ultra?

A company called Robertsons once offered 9x19 barrels for Star Super pistols (in the 90s and before I own a Star Super myself) but I haven't seen any new or used barrels on Ebay or Gunbroker for a...

Order in a LEE 175gr RN .323/8mm bullet mold. they'll be perfect for the rifle and the manuals have loads for that weight already. I use it for my 50's era Win94 in 32 Win Spl and it gives me good...

To make a replica .276 Pederson cartridge, you'd basically have to take a 220 Swift, 6.5 Arisaka or 35 Remington case and reneck it to .270" as they don't commercially make the cartridge anymore. Not...

Dean Grennell was a gun writer in the 80's and 90's and he wrote several articles about those "pointy bullet molds" in his books. I think they do a great job punching paper as I own several Lyman...

I don't own one but I believe the barrels are 9mm in diameter so I'd look at a polycoated 358311 at 160gr for a range bullet. I'll defer to others for a heavy 9mm bullet over 147gr. but a 147gr HP...
