Those barrel liners chambered in .45-70 are really intriguing! I wonder if an old Belgian double with exposed hammers and damascus barrels would hold up with some BP rounds... asking for a friend.
Fun to shoot, worst gun ever to disassemble/reassemble for cleaning as I recall.

Beautiful rifle, very impressive work done there. Thank you for sharing. I have dreams of having my model 71 Winchester get such a treatment, I don't even know where to start looking.

Check in the fridge, you wouldn't believe what I have found in mine.

Thanks for the input. I'm afraid I just don't have the room to keep them, I picked up the boxes of stuff for the components included. These presses and some other similar vintage (and earlier)...

I picked up a couple of heavy boxes of reloading stuff recently. Among the treasures were these two Pacific single stage presses.
Both have rams for .38 Special, one is complete with a Pacific...
A real hand cannon.... a .22 short Velo. It looks like an hors d'oeuvre next to the Colt 1909.

The USSS used Federal +P+ sjhp in their S&W Model 15's. That stuff was/is quite hot. I have shot through my model 36 as well as my Henry big boy and Marlin 1894c. Rapid fire through the carbines...
Huh, I wonder if that would work on my 1909?? I had not thought of that.

Fashion, cars, architecture of the '80's was bad. The music and post-apocalyptic movies were great! I inherited my wife's grandfathers Ted Williams .270. It's a Mauser 98 receiver made by FN, smooth...

While not a carnival experience, and fairly recent, my jr. high school owned several Ithaca model 49's. The school had an Outdoor Recreation class that covered shooting, earning your hunter's safety...

While not the 06 case, I tried "cat's sneeze" rounds in a Stevens 30-30 break action single shot years ago. I used a 00 buck pellet and few grains of Unique. I don't remember the exact recipe off...

I caved... while it is a lever gun, what I bought does not limit itself to just one projectile.
I am now waiting for my new to me Winchester 1887 to get out of CA jail. Chambered in 12 ga.,...

Wow, that model 62 is a beautiful rifle. I love those sights!
Forum: Rimfire Area
Interesting, I have never seen a BL-22 with an octagonal barrel. That must really look great! I have a round barrel one, it is fun one to shoot as well. It always feels so light and nimble after...

Hard to narrow it down to one... My grandfather's Remington 572 certainly brings smiles and fond memories, My Dad's 39a for same reason. I do really enjoy my little Rem #4 and a pocket full of .22...

There are no markings on it at all, no stamps. It does have a primer seating provision.

I have this very old two cavity mold, one cavity is a .333 round ball (00 buck). The other is a conical bullet .333 diameter and weighs in at 37 gr. It has one lube groove. What shoots such a tiny...

I'm shooting a lino RCBS 180 gr. spgc over 37 gr. of IMR3031 in M99 300 Sav. That is right at the max of the load data.

As I am cleaning up and sorting out stuff, I have run across a bunch of old 06 brass. Some of it military stuff dated '18 and '19. It looks to be in good shape, age tarnished but not corroded. Many...
