Use unplated brass, not nickeled brass, and you may have to anneal them, but after that one pass through the sizer die should do it.

I've got a Uberti High Wall .45-70 that is a mediocre shooter - I think I just haven't found the right load for it yet.

I've also got this Uberti .38-40 Low Wall that is a tack driver.

I know of a very similar incident with an 1895 here in the Helena area. Call "Dave's Pawn" in Helena, (406) 449-5150, and ask Dave about his kaboom. I know he uses 5744 a lot, and I THINK that's what...

Accurate Molds or Mountain Molds would both be good choices, but I'm trying to get away from having a custom mold made. The thought of using PSB never crossed my mind, but it looks like it's worked...

I recently picked up a 107 year old Marlin 1894 with a slightly oversize bore - about .4045". My three .38-40 bullets drop at about .401-.402", of course, and they tumble immediately up on exiting...

Buy a V anvil micrometer.

Ditto on all points.

.45's, but the same principle...

I use round balls a lot for one particular set of .45 Colt CAS guns, and have used everything from .451" to .457" with equally good...

My biggest cull rate is with 58 cal Minie balls - sometimes as many as half, but usually more like a third. Next is probably a 535 grain .45-70 Postell design that often "sucks in" on one side as it...

I spent 23 years working at a lead smelter, and we would have our blood lead checked every month by our own in plant infirmary. The plant shut down twelve years ago, and I haven't had it done since....

I'm going to pick up a hollow base Minie mold for my 1861 Springfield, and have never cast a hollow base style bullet before. Do you insert the plug in one mold half first, then close it or close the...

Ironically, I had been looking for an 1895CB for several months and finally broke down and bought one off gunbroker for $625 BIN, plus $25 shipping, plus $20 transfer fee*, which was the least...

I picked up a very nice 1895CB .45-70 in October for $450, and a nice vintage 1894 .38-40 a month ago for $449. :happy dance: A little further back, but I picked up an 1894C .357 in a pawn shop for...

I chucked my .32-20's in a drill press - finger tight is sufficient - turned it on, then used a hacksaw blade flat against the case with the teeth down against the forward end of the rim. It doesn't...

Early 80's - had an Interarms Virginian Dragoon .44 mag, belt, holster, and 25 rounds stolen out of my car at work. Only one other person knew it was there, and he was a bit of a shady character....

And when folks give you a dumb look and ask you why you didn't go with the .460 [smilie=b:, remember this: "The .460 is for people who can't handle the .500!" :guntootsmiley:

I have a 4"er and an...

400 grainer over AA #9.

Heat your Lee mould up more - aluminum dissipates heat much faster than iron so ya gotta run 'em hotter.

I purchased my first .480 SRH early in 2001 - strangely, most...

Here are a few I've made - .38-40, .45-75, .45-120, and .45-70 pictured.

Tanner's in Jamison, PA usually has super prices on Italian Sharps rifles.

I pointed the rifle the right direction - luck did the rest!

According to Dick Trent of Pedersoli USA, Pedersoli builds the entire rifle for Uberti, so Pedersoli & Uberti are the same gun.
That said, I have a .45-70 Shiloh, a .45-70 Uberti and a .45-120...

I just went through this with an 1894 CBC .38 spl... AND it was just "factory rebuilt" by Remington. I ended up adding a fair amount of weld on top of the ramp to eliminate the jamming problem.

Ummm... that's exactly what the "Marlin Jam" is; the next round wholly or partially enters the action and blocks the carrier from rising, and bending the nose of the carrier up slightly is the "no...

Kind of true... sort of...

A Liberator pistol came off the assembly line approximately every six seconds, which is where that myth came from, but the components for that particular pistol most...

The '73 will handle .357's just fine. 158 grain .38's will probably work, but the problem with these actions is there is no cartridge stop to prevent the next round in the magazine from feeding - the...

I don't swap 'em out all that often, so the respective set for each rifle resides in Remington or CCI cap tins.
