Can anyone tell me if all the 40/65 Highwalls had Badger barrels or just a select few. Cheers MS.

Well I've had some success.
I fitted the new Hadley eye piece which helped immencely.
Secondly I changed my wiping procedure from 2 x damp back to just one. It seems the barrel doesn't like to be...

Hi Kenny,

Does anyone here have experience with...

I have a No 1 with a Pac-nor barrel. 38/72 but with 1:12 twist.
Very interesting caliber with the fast twist. BP and smokeless cast shoot well, smokeless Jacketed are very lethal.

Hi all,
just wondering how things developed in this thread, I see no recent posts.
About 18 months ago I picked a Ruger No 1. rebarrelled with a 1:12 twist Pac-nor barrel in 38/72 (.375). My idea...

So 10 kilograms (I'm in Oz) x 1.333 = 13.33 kilograms.

I can't seem to work this out.
I want to soften my lead / tin alloy from 30:1 to 40:1 by adding more lead.
What would the formula be ??
Thanks in advance. 👍🇦🇺

Being in Oz, American barrels can be a bit hard to get through customs, it...

Hey all,
What is the general consensus on cast bullets getting harder or softer over a period of time.
I usually knock out about 100 bullets at a time per mold, cast from ingots that I have made...

Hi all,
I just noticed this thread from a while back, and too am interested in a Hollow Based mold for a .40 cal. ...

Yep, my drop tube fits inside the case too. 38/55 and 40/65.
The funnel on top, I made from a Pewter candle stick holder.
I use a very small hole in mine so the powder only trickles down the tube.

Thanks for the replies guys,
Must be getting doddery, didn't realise I'd put two posts up. hahaha.

Beginning to think the 357 Max will be the go.
Or 38/55 - 357. shall we call it 35/45. :razz:...

I inherited one of Toms .38 molds, it's a good'n, so needing a longer / heavier mold, I then ordered another one. It's a good'n too.
Toms Web site is easy to deal with, the mold is also easy to...

Excellent post, thanks. I heard about this on another forum, that's a real accolade.
I will be trying it out on a Saeco mold that needs another .002

Hey guys, can you point me towards saxguys post please.

I have a mold that needs attention.

Thanks guys, I will check the twist. It was rebarrelled from 45:70 before I bought it, the barrel is new, Douglas I think.
Guessing 1:16 but will check it out.

Thanks again, Ian.

Hi all,

I recently purchased a rebarreled Pedersoli Sharps in 38:55.
After slugging the bore I find it measures precisely .380.

What are the suggestions for an ideal weight cast bullit for...

HI GUYS,
I'm just looking at a Stevens Favourite that's going cheap enough to suit my needs, it's in .32 long.
My question is.... Is the action strong enough to handle a revamp to a 32/40 barrel...
