I’ve been offered a nice condition Winchester Model 94 in .32 Special with a Lyman 56A receiver sight. Since this is a pre 1953 rifle, I am assuming it was drilled and tapped by a gunsmith to...

I came across a discussion that suggested Winchester 94 32spl barrels have a slower twist, and thus are better for shooting cast bullets than Winchester 94 30-30 barrels. Is there really any...

If you have a MEC 600jr, buy the “short kit” from ballistic products. They also have a tool to shorten the hulls. I fold crimped, but roll crimping with an overshot card works too.

I think CMP will install the new barrel, for a fee of course.

Longbow, I’ll be using these in a vintage 1970 Ithaca 37 20in Deerslayer. I understand these are cylinder bore.

I’m on my way down the slug reloading rabbit hole. For those of you shooting Lee slugs, particularly 7/8oz ones, should I be using pure lead to cast or would mostly wheel weights be ok? I’d like to...

I’m going to be receiving a Winchester 1887 which is missing a few parts. At this point I don’t know what to expect. Does anyone know if the parts for the Chiappa 1887 reproductions are...

Hmmm. No wonder I can’t find one....
Ok, I know the answer is going to be “have you slugged the bore”?
So, the answer being “no”, I just cast about 30 boolits using a nice vintage Lyman 454190 SC mould. The average diameter of the...

I bought my first Blue Sky M1 at a department store in Columbus, OH in the late 80’s for less than $100. The crown was shot, and I replaced the barrel with one in the “correct” date range, and...

I just bought a box of these from Midway for my Russian capture K98k. Downloaded the Speer data, and I have both IMR 4064 and 3031. Anyone play with this bullet and have a preference? The rifle...
Many thanks to everyone. I bought it, it’s in fabulous shape. Slight mark on the blue near the muzzle from a holster I guess. Comes with ruger special edition case, boxed extra .45 ACP cylinder,...
