A couple of years ago I lucked into both an original in .44 Russian and a modern reproduction in .357 magnum. They surprised me with their ease of use, great triggers, and precise grouping with...

It was hunting season but I was home in bed with a nasty sore throat. I happened to look out the window to the snow-covered hills at the back of our place in the boondocks and spied about 20 elk...

We were a bit disappointed with the meat. It was cut and wrapped for the trip back to Montana in about 30 hours. Ideally it would have hung for a couple of weeks to age. These cows were 5-7 years...

I loved this story! My buddy and I decided to go whitetail hunting with black powder in our cartridge lever actions. We went down Sixteen Mile Creek where the abandoned Milwaukee RR passed through...

I used my HighWall in .40-65 with BP to get this cow bison in Nebraska. We hunted on foot and tried to do it the old-fashioned way. My partner shot his cow with a .54 flinter, requiring a single shot...

That is a gorgeous rifle but the caliber is a bit daunting. A buddy brought his .50-140 Sharps to my place to show it off. We both shot it from the bench with the bet as to which of us could hold...

Years ago I visited with a Montana gunsmith named Ed Webber who built an 1885 High Wall for me in cal. .40-65. In addition to much range time with it, I also successfully used it to take a bison. Ed...

Thanks to all of your suggestions and good advice, I had a better day at the range with my .45 Colt rolling block carbine. I braved the 35 degree cold and plowed a trail into my shooting range. I had...

Thanks for this. I think I still have some .50 AK I made years ago from .348 W brass. If I can find it, and rim size is OK, I will give it a try. I just bought a little .50-70 RB carbine made by Ed...

It appears that it's almost impossible to source this classic cartridge case. I'm in a desperate mode. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Holy Moly, that was fast!! Would the recutting be done by RCBS or whom? And thanks!

I bought this mold quite a few years ago to cast 300 gr. express boolits for my 1886 Winchester chambered in .50 Alaskan. I also use them in my .50 Smith carbine with great results. I'd really like...

Thanks for the very helpful advice, guys. I now have noticed that cases fired in the RB carbine have a slight swelling .245" up from the rim. Case diameter in front of rim is .475" and at this...

Thanks, I found the twist rate to be 1/16" and will slug the barrel. I'm wondering what the 9.0 grs. of Unique smokes the brass and fails to obturate. It's fast-burning powder. Fired cases don't...

You're welcome. I'm sorry the chart didn't post as clearly as it looked when I typed it! :( Yes, I kept all variables the same except for charge weight. Evidently the 35 grain load was the sweet...

I recently acquired a beautiful little Pedersoli rolling block carbine in .45 Colt. It appears brand new, with added front and rear sights. The Pedersoli Soule tang sight seems perfectly adequate for...

My holy grail pistol is a Remington Rolling Block in caliber .50, but until it shows up, I am making do with this pair. I haven't had them very long but from the first cast boolit groups made with...

Turkish 8x57 ammo fired in my stock 1938 Turk with iron sights produced some interesting data for you fellow Turk shooters. The ammo came in the 70 rnd. bandoleers with 154 gr. bullets and 47.5 gr....

I'm considering giving up use of 231 in my revolvers due to the amount of powder residue left in the barrels and chambers. Some of the residue is light colored and some is grey. I can shake it out of...

I was also one of the guys that bought armloads of Turkish Mausers and the cases of cheap ammo. Then I shot and shot the darned stuff but couldn't shoot it all. After about 10 years I auctioned the...

I recently acquired a nice Miroku highwall in caliber .38-55. It's teaching me which boolits and powders it prefers. I have several Winchester highwalls (.32 Ideal, .38-56, and .32-40) so I was...

After being a member here since 2014, I thought it was time to contribute as well as solicit help. I've had this cute little Low Wall in 32 Ideal for more than a year now and am still struggling to...

I will take the .32-40 brass if still available. $18 plus shipping.
