Sounds like a lot of work. My local furniture store sells nice Amish and Mennonite stuff with traditional door slides that should be waxed, so he sells blocks of parafin in 3/4 and 1" thickness for...

What makes a powder unsafe to download? Detonation from laying too low relative to the primer pocket?

The .270 Winchester seems like its pretty close, slightly shorter shoulder. So would it be foolish to put Hogdons starting loads of 4895 for the .270 into the 7x65R (both with 150gr boolits) and work...

pworley - They are close but I dont see any 4895 loads for the 280 Rem. on Hogdons data center. Maybe 270 Winchester bottom starting loads with similar bullet weights are a good start?

MD -...

So, I've recently come into possession of a post WW2 made 7x65R falling block, and of course I bought a few boxes of factory ammo as deer season starts soon down here. I've also bought a good supply...

Left to right looking down the barrel from the breach or the muzzle side?

Whats the traditional direction to REMOVE a winchester dovetailed front blade or buckhorn rear? I believe it is left to right when viewed from the rear of the sights but I'm not sure. I am...

Thanks all!

Id like to mount an MVA sight to an original straight grip rifle. They have the bases but where can I get a longer main tang screw and the front screw for the sightbase (where the filler screw is...

Well compared to what cast, sized, and lubed boolits cost for the 500 Linebaugh its a good start ;)

Found a 40lb bucket of lead wheel weights for $80. We're good. :)

Sheeeeeeeeeeooooot....I still have primers left over from the 1994 panic ;-)

Looking for some low cost plinking / practice options for .50 cal boolit casting in medium - hard alloy (no pure lead).

What are some good sources for low cost ingots or recycled wheel weights?...

Went with Accurate and that 440 grain bullet. Not sure how it will do with the 50-110 Express rifling but its ideal for the Linebaugh with a 4" bbl (5.5" but the muzzle has Bowens counterbored...

Thats .500 not .512

Looking for something in .512-.513 that I can cast for 50-110 WCF and size down for 500 Linebaugh. But nothing available anywhere it seems.

Yes I know about the Hogdon loads but I'm out of H110 and want to save my Trailboss for an old British .450 single shot I have. I have this Alliant PP and am wondering if I can use it up on 500...

I have a couple lbs of Alliant Power Pistol powder and a hankering for some 500 Linebaugh. Alliant lists a load for the 480 Ruger with a 275 gr bullet. Would this be a safe starting load for 500...

What do the dovetail sizes represent on MVAs website when ordering front sights? Are these the widths of the bottom of the sight base or the bottom of the slot on the barrel?

I cube mine in 3/8 cubes and add paprika, Lowrys garlic salt, and black pepper over and over as I turn them in about 1/4 inch of oil. It takes a lot of spices. Yellow potatoes with the skins on work...

At the end of the day, a rifle is defined by a good, properly chambered and free floated barrel. A crap barrel on a “blueprinted” action will make a crap rifle. The Remington's action is simple, and...

Mauser didn't invent the bolt gun, he simply perfected it. Browning probably took a look at the 1893 Spanish Mauser and figured (correctly) that only minor improvements were possible. The lever...

Yep.....lever simply needed to be worked smartly.. So long as you do that it feeds smoothly. An 1886 in 45-70 and 50-110 is not a little 1894 in 30-30.lol

I can't get a round to feed and then chamber in this antique 45-70 Winchester 1886. Magazine, cartridge stop, and lifter work fine. Round makes it about into the chamber as you see it and then jams...

Recently acquired this old 3 screw BH. Its the small frame .357 and has the transfer bar conversion.

Works fine but the third click is hammer full cock and the fourth click drops the cylinder...
