You are correct: No one knows.

All that remains is speculation.

Dan at the Bull Shop now has a .38-40 bullet...a Flat-nosed Gas-check with a crimp groove.

This bullet will help save you headaches and time in...

I'm not certain what a "Beater Levergun" is, but does this one qualify?

.30 WCF DOM=1913
Repaired, Modified, Replaced, ReRepared, ReModified, ReReplaced AND CUSTOMIZED!

I had a good load, using Laser Cast Bullets. But I thought that a gas-checked bullet might be more accurate, and it is. The rifle is an 1873 .38 WCF made in 1885. Its bore is ugly. But now, it...

Wow. Old thread given new life.

Rifle primers will sit higher (protrude above the base of the brass) when used in handgun brass. I don't know if that applies to all handgun brass, but it does...

Ebay is a place you will want to haunt. Keep checking for them, and you'll likely find them.

If the .32-40 is a rifle--26 inch barrel?
If it is a rifle the magazine band doesn't "press" into the barrel. It is attached by pushing the base into the side of the dovetail/slot, and slowly...

Easy to use. Quick to get accurately on target. No settling of the front bead into a slot as is necessary with a rear-barrel sight. Raise your rifle, eyes on target, ignore the tang sight hole,...

Since you mention the woods, last year's buck fell in front of a .32 WS. High in the neck--as most of my bucks are shot. I trust these rifles' accuracy.

First buck I shot with a .32 WS was in...

Dad's rifle was a .32 WS carbine. Took my first two deer with it. To honor their Grandpa, I gave each one of my sons a .32 WS takedown rifle. Special rifles in memory of a Special Man. All of...

"OK" in assessing a Winchester doesn't mean much. It may be "OK" to use as a club when the Zombies attack--but make certain you swing the fences!

Sounds as if you are near buying a headache. ...

That's good news. Daniel is a fine man.

And, since I'm considering changing my .25-35 load, you'd be a great help if you would try H4895 and Reloader 7 in your testing. I could sit on the porch...

Daniel at "The Bull Shop" keeps me in cast bullets--several calibers. He knows his business and helps shooters find the proper bullet for their needs. Turn-around time is short--from putting in an...

Is your Colt proofed for smokeless? If not proofed, it may be best to not shoot smokeless in it.
What year was it manufactured?

Can't switch the rifle; it was my Great-grandfather's and has come down the line to me. I could get a '92 and shoot that, but I like the Spirits that are near when I shoot our family's old rifle.

Thank you, fellows, for your input.

Now you tell me! I have five .32 WS in my safe, and I've been killing deer with 32 Special neck shots for nearly 50 years. Would have saved me a pile of money and I wouldn't have wasted my time...

I'm attempting to find a smokeless powder to use in a '73 Winchester (DOM 1885) and a Colt SAA (DOM 1911). The round will be used for hunting deer and other critters, as well as, shooting enough...

Reloading with no electricity to look up load data?--No problem. Just keep scooting that candle a tad closer to the gunpowder, and PooF, there goes your desire to look up loads.

You fellas need...

Glad to see this thread coming back to life.

I'm down to 18 cartridges left out of approx. 1400 that were loaded with Titegroup. Other caliber testing put the .38-40 on the back burner. Ran a...

Looks as if the folks at the WACA forum have given you good help. I did see a few for sale on the computer earlier this week, but can't find them now.

Why close-coupled on an 1894? --Because the...

Thank you, John. I see you helped over here too.--http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?296078-Loads-for-25-35

Outpost75--"Violent fragmentation, blows frying chicken to smithereens"

Now, why would a person ever want to do that?! Going and ruining perfectly good frying pans, blasting chicken in them. ...

If any of you know of more sources or cast loads for .25-35 using H4895 or RL 7 (Rx 7), please pass them along here.

Thank you Charlie. I'll get the PM to you.
