I couldn't help myself. At 71 I was hoping for some self control, but I guess not.
I have a new Henry 20" barrel .410 with screw-in chokes. It is a lever action .410 that takes 6 in the tube plus 1...
Ok, I'm a believer. Logically the 67 gr single ball weighs in at .158 oz. A 1/2 oz standard .410 shot charge is 218.75 grains. A very light projectile with a whole lot of powder. Wow.

Just to show that good threads never die, I am bringing it back again. I am doing the 3 day Florida wait on a new Henry 357 carbine. Bought this as a cb only fun gun and light hunter. Will start...

Minerat, there can be more than one great answer for a caliber. My CZ 527 V in 17 hornet is a great shooter. I might try your LIL Gun load just because I have about 10 pounds of LIL GUN (I use it...

+1 on Starline. Ordered 500 to feed 4 30-30's (3 lever and 1 bolt gun). I love the soup can and a little bit of trail boss for the grandkids.

Minerat, I am getting nice round .5 and sub .5 - 5 shot groups at 100. This is edge to edge not center to center. I also find I am getting almost ZERO copper fouling using the CFE-BLK. I check by...

I ended up with 12.8gr CFE-BLK for all my 20gr J words (Hornady, Midway Dogtown, Midsouth nightmares, etc) and 11.4gr CFE-BLK for all my 25 gr Jwords. For me the key was to load them off the lands a...

Minerat: it's been a while. I just saw the above. In my 527 CZ-V 17 Hornet, the CFE-BLK is what I am using for all my Jword bullets. I am very pleased with it so far. It appears a little less...
Find a second hand store and buy a pewter plate, a mug, a picture frame, and melt them into your muffin tin. About 2 ounce portions are nice to work with. Compute the weight of your pure lead melt...

To me, pan lubing is inherently messy. v/r RCH
Turns out that 4gr load worked just fine. 3.3gr was the best with my 7.5” Single Seven out to 25 Yds. Thanks to all.

Lee Rifle die seaters do not crimp. Where I can, I use the Lee collet sizer (no case lube) and the lee seater (no crimp). Also they are not expensive and can be bought individually or as a set.

earmck, you have answered my question. I was worried about my measurement of the max capacity without compressing the TB. I was guessing 4.2 gr max but was looking for a confirmation. Your 4.5 gr...
Not to advocate cheating, but, has anybody shot the laser cast 32 wadcutter (commercial boolit)?

I am using some Meistner 95gr hardcast PB's in .327 Federal brass for my new single-seven 7.5" barreled Ruger. At 3 grains off a rest at 7 yards it shoots dime groups but at 25 yards they opened to...
Since I just took delivery on a single-seven with the 7.5" barrel two days ago, I will read ALL your .327 posts.

Minerat, Bump the TB to 2.8 and give it a try for 50 yards. That is the sweet spot for 50 yards with my CZ. I had grouping issues with the 1.0 gr TB at 50 yards. Not enough powder. At 25 yards...

I wouldn't want to guess at the amount of lead shot swallowed at my Grandfathers Sunday Dinner table (2pm Sunday dinner) between 1956 and 1963 (when I lived on his farm). The meal was always centered...
Minerat, did you ever get to shoot some of your PC's? Any update?

If PAST is still making it's should recoil pads, they are an answer. So are the slip on or lace on recoil pads. The leather lace on's look good with the lever guns. All will extend the pull...
I will be interested to see how your PC goes. It would eliminate the lube step and does keep everything clean. Still haven't gotten to the 100 yard range with the 2.8 grain loads, but I will soon....

I got my first Marlin 1895-S in the late 70's. With the micro-groove barrel I found I could use the Ruger 1 loads from my Sierra manual. Being in my late 20's I thought it was a manly thing. I...
