Where would be a good place to list a lone Star Rolling Block black powder gun?

I called Redding, there're shut down, they said they are "non essential" and are down. He also said the pipeline is drying up and they won't be able to work maybe sometime in May.

Anyone else notice that certain reloading dies are getting hard to come by? This Country had better get up and running again!

I have the exact same gun only in 45. Love it.

Anyone have both? What is your take on each. Bought my first one in 1994. Handled the new ones, but I'm not that impressed with them Still like the feel of a heavy 45.

Thanks. What a shame.

Anyone know if Lone Star Rolling Block rifles ever got up and running again, after the death of Dave Higgenbothem? Great black powder guns.

I'll be switching from 20/1 to 30/1 lead in my 45/70 Shiloh. Anyone who has done this, notice any big difference?

45/70 brass. 100 Winchester count. $10.00 shipped. Once fired SOLD!

WTS. Various 500 grain cast bullets. 50 in all. $20.00 shipped. Sold P.F.!

I let a friend take my Lubersizer to lube pistol bullets and he left pistol lube in it. I lube with SPG. Any suggestions on the best way to get the lube that's in there now out? Thanks:

I have 385 123 gr. 6.5 mm Lapua Scenar Bullets left from a lot of 1000. $160.00 shipped to lower 48.

My seating die is set up for the Postel bullet. Where can I get a seating stem for my spitzer bullets that won't flatten the nose?
Thanks, Gary

Everything seems to line up alright. I guess it's just a mental thing with me, as all my rifle's primers are hit in the center. Thanks for all, and I mean all, the replys.

Anyone care to comment on the primers in the picture where the firing pin strikes at 6 o'clock and not in the center? Accuracy is decent with these old eyes but I feel it could be better if the...

Can't find any Speer shot shell capsules for my 44 Mag. or 357 Mag. Has anyone tried to make their own by using their own brass? The loaded ones that I do find, aren't cheap!

I had the same problem with my 45/70. They Key-Holed, and just wouldn't shoot. I've always had good luck with my pistol bullets though.

Went to the range again and same results. Sizing the bullet to throat size cut my groups in half. Unbelievable! I don't know if this is true of all cast bullets, but it sure helped me with the Laser...

Just a follow up. Had everything measured as follows: Laser Cast bullets 200 grain ordered .431.-they measured-.433.- Sized them to .431. 300 grain measured -.432- and sized them to .431. ...

Thanks for the replies. I've loaded up some as cast, and some, sized to .430. See what happens.

Are there any problems associated with shooting a bullet that just drops through the cylinder? The bullet and cylinder measure the same.

Re-sized my Laser Cast bullets from what they say is .431 to .430 in my Lyman Lubr-sizer die. I was peeling lead quite bad before in the cylinder and forcing cone. Just tried two that I re sized and...

Thanks all. Don't have a leading problem so I guess I'll leave well enough alone.
