Singleshot,
I have one of the Uberti Carbines in .30-30. The twist appears to be the standard of 1-12". I have shot every kind of cast boolit you can think of in it. The long 200+ grain boolits...

Kermit,
I have had no problems with the scope or the mounts. I even took a pretty good nosedive last year...dropping the rifle on the scope. The mounts were slightly bent....I straightened them,...

Hi Folks,
Have been away for quite some time....lots of water under the bridge...some good and some bad.
Since my last post I have fired over 3k rounds thru my little Uberti RB .25 Hornet...all...

Yosemite,
I shoot cast bullets in both my .416 Taylor and .416 Rigby. My mould is a modified CSA mould that started life as a 410gr .410 diameter. Had a gunsmith friend open this mould up to...

BoomBoom,
You really have a lot of variables here trying to use a fast burning powder in a larger case.
First....if you have a 1-14" twist barrel the 62grainers will probably not stabilize...no...

I have a CZ527 American in .22 Hornet. I have fired over 2 thousand rounds in it using Lil'Gun powder, small pistol primers and 34-45 grain bullets.
My current load is 13.5 gr Lil'gun, a CCI 500...

Dutch,
Yes, I have used WC857. I bought about 15lbs of it in Great Falls, Montana some 30 plus years ago for $1.00 per pound. I have a couple of pounds left. It is a slow burning powder and the...

The Hogdgon's current data shows that both use the same loading data. HOWEVER!!! I have some H4227 and this is an Austrailian made powder and is of the "EXTREME" type and is greenish, as one other...

I bought 8 lbs of H108 several years ago. I also bought several pounds of Accurate Arms 4100 at the same time as it was very cheap. Both of these powders look identical to each other. They also...

One other thing B'eye is good for is fire forming. I use 6.0 gr in a .22 Hornet case topped by a .224 cal bullet and shoot it in my .25 Hornet. Cases come out formed perfectly and of the right...

Beeman,
In my experience this powder is closer to IMR 4831's burning rate. I bought 32lbs of it when it was $4.00/lb!!! Am down to just a few pounds. Not much data then...used IMR4350 data as a...

Just want to remind everyone that the #2 Rolling block used in this project is a replica made by Uberti. These actions are made of modern steel, properly heat treated and are made to close...

I have done a lot of boolit shooting using poly filler. I get my poly filler from a quilting/sewing suppy store. I use the 1/4" thick stuff that comes in sheets and cut it into approximately 5/8"...

358wcf,
How about the .25 Hornet? Quite snappy (1600-1800fps) using bullets from the 65gr 257420 to the heavier 90 grainers and very accurate. Best twist for these seems to be a 1 in 14. See...

Snover,
I must confess...I cheated. I took a very small nail and trimmed it to about 1/2" and put it thru the bottom wrap (on the bottom of the buttstock between the laceing) on the lace on cheek...

Mike,
Yeah....Got the same problem...more interesting projects than I have time to shoot.
The only thing that I have shot with this rifle are some of the pesky red squirrels here in forested...

Mike,
The .22 Hornet case can be opened up to 6.5mm. The .270 REN is the Hornet case necked up to .270 and used in the Thompson Center single shot (and others I am sure).

Keeper,
Yes, I could have made this a .25-20 WCF. However, I already have a real cute Aussie Cadet Martini in .25-20. The Martini has been reworked to look like a small British Rook Rifle.
...

leftiye,
The reamer came from JGS tool and die in Coos Bay, Oregon. Their reamer works great. It is a straigth taper like the .32-40. CH4D made the dies based on the drawing from JGS. The dies...

I have had one for several months. It is of excellent quality. Tried some factory .30-30 in it....recoil is there but the rubber pad absorbs it well. Have used only cast Boolits since then.....

After some fiddling around I have the pictures of this project.

Have been away from this site for months. Lots going on including some health issues. However, I am back with a new project to share. My .25 Hornet project.
The idea for this project started...

475BH,
The barrels that are offered are new take offs threaded for a Win Mod 70, Post 64, with 16 threads per inch. If this thread pitch is the same as for the Kimber and the shank diameter is...

Am looking for the barrel shank dimensions and thread pitch for the Kimber 8400. Have been offered several barrels that might work for rebarreling...however, I don't have the dimensions for the...

Am looking for the shank dimensions and thread pitch of the Kimber 8400.
