I have one of these purchased on Black Friday last year. It's a REP marked, 91-S/N gun, fwiw. Good gun.
I'd estimate closer to 800fps on the 200gr load. I've loaded a Lee 200gr RF to the crimp groove over 8.5gr of Unique and got an avg of 836fps out of a 5.5" Blackhawk. With less powder and less...

What kind of info are you looking for? I have a copy of a manual somewhere(don't ask where). I have a lyman 45. Need more info!

Does Bullshop still make size dies? Been a while since I've been on here much.

Sorry, I thought I put that in there, 45 Colt. The three shot group I mentioned with with 255gr Lyman 452424s sized .452 with BAC over 7.0gr of Titegroup. Will have to wait until at least tomorrow...

Pops and I went and braved the wilds of Cabelas in KC, KS today. Picked up a new Marlin 1894 for $529.99 plus tax. It was listed in the ad at $549.99, regularly $579.99. When the nice cashier rang...

I am interested in an update on this and how it's shooting for you. Also, what profile of boolits does it like?

Wasn't the Lee Navy some time around 1900? Maybe I'm thinking about something else.
Nope, Lee Navy 1895 Wiki knows all

Nice. I've heard good things about RL17 in the 7.5x55. Have yet to try any myself.
TiteGroup or Unique, in that order.
And stick to the 14,000psi data from that link above.

Thread necromancy here, but I shot 5 of these today over 44.5gr of H4350 for an avg of 2244fps. Only shot them at 50 yds, but they actually hit to POA. Might be onto something. Here's a link to a...

I hate to clutter up FAsmus's thread anymore than it already is, but I just had to give a report! I loaded up some(5) 7.5s with the NOE boolit over 44.5gr of H4350. Don't ask where I got the...
If it's a New Vaquero, I'd definitely stay away from the magnum loads. Plus, the OP said he has magnum handguns for magnum stuff.
Myself, I like 7gr of Titegroup for about 940fps out of 5.5" of...

Hm. Me thinks it might actually be time to get the C&R and a stamp or two.
Forum: Special Projects
Then I anxiously await to see what you offer. Parts alone can push the price to what I listed easily.
Forum: Special Projects
Hm, I'd be guessing somewhere around $2000 at least, depending on parts, but maybe higher. But I'm a supressor noob and all. I could easily see it getting that high, even higher.

What sort of velocity do you think you're getting with the 14gr of AA#7?
Forum: Group Buy Results
I'm on the fence, but I'm posting so it'll be easier to find later if I decide to fall off.
Not a 155, but I've used 6.2gr Unique under 145gr boolits for about 1000fps.

FWIW, I've picked up my TAC and Hunter from the Olathe Gun Shop. They had several different Ramshot powders last time I was in the store.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I use TAC and Hunter, both Ramshot powders. I've actually loaded some TAC under 175gr FN's in .30-30.
