All my lever guns shoot black, 44WCF and 38WCF and a 45-90. I love reloading with lead and black powder!

Congrats on the 86. I have a Miroku 86 in 45-90. Love how it shoots and feels, looks were Very plain so last month I stripped her down, discarded the tang safety and hand made a fire blued steel...

Ok, first batch of 200 dropped out of the mold (Lyman 427666) on average of .429/430. Lubed and loaded would not easily chamber in the pistols but the rifles were fine (all Uberti). Ran them through...

Thank you everyone. I too have read extensively, the writings of Mr. Kort and many others! I'm a research hound. I've tried the Big Lube, still have about 300 in .428 (Don't like how long they are as...

Thanks Outpost, they are Uberti Cimarron Model 1866 short rifle, 1873 short rifle, 1873 black powder frame pistols, ASM Taylor's Model 92 short rifle and a Uberti 1873 pre-war framed pistol all in...

Bigted, I bulged a barrel in my japchester '66, about 3/4 of the way down shooting black powder and .428 solid bullets with no apparent reason for the bulge. That was in February '20 form a gun I...

As a SASS shooter, I shoot 44WCF in all my main match guns except a lone 38WCF pistol, they are all loaded with various black powders, including 12g shotgun (I use whatever is cheapest for SASS)....

I've been shooting BP for over 40 years. I've never had any issues with corrosion shooting muzzle loaders, cap and ball, cartridge and shotgun. I clean my guns, smokeless and BP after I shoot them....

As others have stated, the chamber is the deal breaker. My Uberti rifles slug .429 bore, .430 groove. they wont chamber though so I use .428 cast lead, I can hit 100 yard turkey steel plates off hand...

Pretty sure, like most other modern guns, its an arsenic finish, true color case hardening is ridiculously expensive and time consuming. Look at Turnbull Restoration.

I looked at the Rossi 92 but got a Taylors short rifle in 44-40 because it looks and feels identical, right down to the oiled stock, to my Dad's 38-40 made in 1914, except of course for being brand...

I gre up with my dad's 92 in 38-40 so my first lever gun was a Taylors (ASM) 92 in 44-40. Its a Work of Art! Feel so light and nimble, its still my favorite. I shoot Classic Cowboy in SASS, that...
