Thanks Ryan... I forgot to be specific in that I'm trying to get cowboy dies for 30-30, but will take anything for the 25-35. Thanks

I've been playing with 25-20 for quite a while and it has been one of the most frustrating cartridges for cast, IMO. I was buying the Speer 75g J-word and those things would shoot great...then try...

I've got a question for Glenn that I hope can end my confusion ;)
A year or so ago, I purchased 2 quarts of "Liquid-XLOX" and it says "cast bullet lubricant" on it. I assumed this was similar to...

I never intended to take this long for an update, so I hope I didn't miss too much while I was gone.

I'm trying to recall what it was, and I believe it was .381 which is why I ended up buying .380s as that was the largest I could find.

I've got 2 1889s, one in 38-40 and a 44-40. I happily paid more than $775 for them so in my opinion you are getting it for less than what I have seen them going for.
I had to replace the hammer...
