I bought a used Ruger GP100 earlier this year. I have ordered dies and .357 brass. I have a bunch of .38 special brass. I have cast about 60 lbs of H&G 158 gr Keith gc boolits and some others. I am...

Thanks for all the replies. Will have to try them. I do have some blank top punches I acquired from someone one here and a neighbor with a lathe. May have to try making my own.

I borrowed an H&G .357 Keith mould from a friend and cast about 50 lbs of boolits. Now it is time to start sizing them. Problem is, I don't have a proper fitting top punch. Does any one know which...

Thanks for all the information! A lot to digest. In hind sight, I should have mentioned that the primary use will be at the range out to 250-300 yds.

Thanks again,

I have gift card for Gander Mountain and am thinking about getting a better/larger spotting scope. I was looking at the Bushnell Custom Series 15-45x60 or one of the Barska scopes. Does anyone have...

Scharfschuetzer,

I was looking at the Midsouth Shooters web sight and they say the Lyman 66 would have to be drilled and tapped on Marlins for this sight. There is no mention of this on the Lyman...

Thanks for all the replies. I thought about a tang sight but heard/read that the sight sometimes interferes with cycling the bolt. I am looking at a Smith's rear sight with ladder elevations. Anyone...

I bought a used Marlin 1895 CB in 45-70 back in Jan and, because of the rainbow trajectory, would like to put an adjustable sight on it. I have 2 Williams on other lever actions but they are not...

BABore,

Thanks for the info. I will try that. I usually crank the sizing die down to where it cams over on the shell holder.

Musky,

What parts, (part numbers) and where did you get them. I have one doing the same thing but in 35 Rem. The problem I am having is with reloads. I am about to send my dies back to RCBS to...

You knew it would come to this. (trying to attach pic)

My wife made a similar remark about hunting. I told her that if you count the Saturdays and holidays between Labor day and the end of February, there are only about 30 some days to hunt. Can't hunt...

It sounds like this might not be a good powder for 45-70. I just got my first 45-70 and am looking for powders to use. Is there as surplus powder which will work in 45-70?

IMR7383 This is a slow burning stick powder originally used for the Cal. .50
M48A2 Spotter/Tracer round. This is not the same case as that known as
the .50 Browning...

MC, That is what he said. Different load, need a different cam. Like I said, need to do some home work. Just got the rifle. The sight looks good for my purposes.

RR Rick,

I have been emailing him getting more info. Looks like I need to do some work on my part to come up with a load and velocity to give him.

Montana Charlie- Thanks for the info. Will...

I tried to find a web site too, to no avail. I just bought a Marlin 1895 LTD V in 45-70 and want a site that is easily adjustable for target and hunting due to the rainbow trajectory. I have...

Has anyone heard of these or have any experience with them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the replies and help. One question I have for those of you who are shooting Unique or other pistol powder, are you using any kind of filler. I read in the Lyman manual most of the...

What size gas checks and prices. Looking to get some more. Looking for .44, .30, .45.

Helped one of the lgs's at the gun show this weekend. Somebody traded in a Marlin 1895 LTD V. It burned me up sitting on the used table all day. Especially when someone looked at it. I finally bit...

Thanks Guys for all the replies. I now have some place to start. I already have Unique, Bullseye and 231.

Thanks Again,

Been loading, casting and shooting for many other calibers for years. I finally got my first 1911, a Ruger SR 1911 back in Dec., and now I am ready to start casting for it. After 6 months I have...

TX GunNut,

Yes, I have a 450/550. I also have a Rockchuker.

Thanks for the help. I am trying to get some Dillon dies. They are hard to find like anything else.
