And since my wife nailed it (we have 2 small dogs), here's the recipe and the gun. I loaded .32-20 brass with 3.5 grains of unique, a .31 cal (I think it was) Ox-Yoke lubed felt Wonder Wad, almost...

I assume you are rolling your own ammo. Care to tell us about your powder/primer/boolit/methods?

Lee 90384, IIRC. It's the 220 gr conical intended for the Ruger Old Army. Supposed to be .456, buy mine dropped .457. Can't remember the load any more, buy it was dang accurate in the #3 I used to...

Now that this is suitably flogged, my advice: CLEAN YOUR GUNS!
Has any of this changed that?

The .32 LC is similar to the S&W Long. I'm talking about the itty-bitty one that looks like a .22 LR that's been eating too much holiday food.

I don't know if it's my iPad or their site, but their photos don't come up for me. I've always ordered directly from their site. I have a LOT of these, for my revolvers,...

I once made one with a billiard ball, a hunk of ready-thread, some brass tubing, and a t-nut. Lots of ways to skin this cat.

Simple question:how do you do it? SHORT version, BTW, not long.
Powder--brand, charge weight, grain size...
Boolit--weight, design, mold...
Primer--?
Methods or other info...

Well, I reckon if you have a low opinion of Favorites, leave them to those of us who like them and know how to shoot them safely. My favorite Favorite is an 1894 .32 rf. It came to me in incredible...

Either .32-40 or 8.15x46R. Depends which side of the Atlantic you are thinking. Been reading about the 8.15x46R lately. Either BS or fixed with stop-ring slugs the way they do/did it over there.

Got to love a Martini! You know you won't quit--keep tweaking and enjoy. Thank you for the story and photos.

I'd do the .50/70 in the 1875 action, but either would do. The Greener is more messing around.
If you haven't, spend some time viewing this book. You can "preview" all of it online. Martini eye...

Reckon either will work, but I use pistol primers cuz I gots 'em. Can't imagine black not lighting off for choosing the wrong primer.

Apology. Sounded like it to my aged and failing ears. Used to talking like that to my grandkids. Substitute "complaining" if that works for you.

Nobade is right. Why go there? They also have a policy against selling ivory, so some list items as being "ox bone." Is the game to be a dishonest and devious liar just to see what you can get away...

Are you talking about something like sights like I think of on some of the old Stevens Tip-Ups? This is a dead auction, but they're the pix I could find. You'll get the idea, I think.
