    I have an older Stevens version, nice rifle. But will not shoot cast for anything. Tried multiple bullets, loads, but none of them shot worth a dang. Shoots jacketed fine.

    I had 2, 9mm and 40. The 40 went back to the factory after about 50 rds as something had come loose. It no longer locked solid, but folded a touch. They stuck a new barrel in it, and I sold it. Its...

    Magnum? Not with 32 S&W. Those conversions you cannot run hot at all. They sell 32 S&W at the store but made for modern guns. Starting as a cap and ball gun, might be better off w BP loads. They are...

    I never got anything but garbage results w light bullets in the 45 colt. All that case capacity, even worse with light bullets. Only way I got decent results w anything under 250gr was w Trailboss.

    Odd how that overly tight fit also sort of ruins the guns with tight spots in the barrel, while making it near impossible to change the barrel. Have to ask, why? Was no other way or just this was the...

    You want a bigger barrel. I did a stub on a Rossi single shot, sold as 410 and 22lr barrel. There is not much meat left once drilled out to thread a barrel in. A 45 colt worked, barely, stick w...

    I had issues with Lee 8mm dies, not pushing the shoulder back enough. I had to shave down a shell holder to get it right. Its called tolerance stacking, it can be off +/- so much on each part. So a...
