The clays worked just fine. Seemed to burn cleaner than the unique ever did as well! At 50 yards I got 7 into about 2" with 3 hitting left and low a few inches and flying sideways.

With this rifle I'd be happy to get a consistent 12" group at 100 yards! It's an old martini enfield with a pitted bore, shoots factory ammo about 2' high and right at 100. Last week my best group...

Thanks for the help! I got 10 rounds loaded for the .303 with 10 grains and I'll give them a try tomorrow night.

I'm all out of unique and can't get anything locally anymore but I have 4lbs of clays I got in a trade a few years ago.
I couldn't find any rifle loads listed with this powder so any advice would be...

None at all actually! the holes were so close to what I needed it only took a few strokes with a small file to get it lined up properly. The short screw it came with fit perfectly but the tang screw...

OK I got the lyman #2 '94 tang in the mail! Got it mounted last night and finished making a front sight. I filed down a piece of bar stock to make a dovetail, drilled a hole and threaded in a screw...

load em backwards and have some fun with gophers/prairie dogs! I think I used 2.4grains of clays in my .38 special. I still have well over 1k of these to load from a trade I did a few years ago.

I'll have to call them and find out if they will ship to Canada without me having several weeks of paperwork.

Should have specified that it's the sight for the 1894 I ordered. I need 2.17" hole spacing so I may have to adjust the holes in the sight base a little if it's 2.25"

I've got on order what must be the last lyman #2 in canada from wholesale sports, they're no longer going to be a distributor.

If anyone has one of these could I get you to measure the distance...

Well so far I'm screwed, I cant get nothing. At least not in the next couple of months!

There is no marbles sights in stock at any of the canadian distributors and they figure it'll be months...

The half inch is the base measurement not the opening, never did measure to the other hole, and yes its threaded.

So if I go with one of the marbles sights from Brownells, is there some sort of formula for calculating front sight height?

I have measurements and more pictures for you guys. Full barrel length is 27" with 23 3/4" center to center between the barrel dovetails. Muzzle dovetail is .39 inches and back end is .5 inch...

Doesn't look like it would work, my rear dovetail is so close to the receiver that the elevator hangs over the action!

Sorry its in 45-70!
Best picture I have right now, I can take more tonight after work.

So I have this original 1885 winchester thats on loan to me from the father-in-law. Its got a new 27" custom barrel on it with 0 taper and some kind of horrible homemade tube sight! I took it out...

I have one that has seen its fair share of corrosive rounds and minimal cleaning! It took me weeks with wipeout to clear all the copper layers/old powder out of my grandpas favorite bear rifle. ...

I'm really considering getting one of these rifles but I cant find any information on pressure loads these will take. I'm not likely to hunt with it so it will be mostly used for plinking loads, but...

I can understand your worries! With the frozen ground right now they ricochet terribly. My inlaws live in Swift Current and she's pretty flat there!
Not much of a worry for me since I live in the...

The richardson's are quite small, just makes it more of a challenge with the old rifles.

Getting ready for gopher season and I thought I'd post a picture of my current favorites.

I got one in a 2 cavity to try and its great! not the most accurate but the girls at the range seem to love shooting it. I load it in front of 2.5grains clays, no idea of...

I finally got around to measuring the diameter of the cavity and its about .46

Since I started 2 months ago I'm nearly at 10 including the old civil war era mold I found.
6 for the .38 including the 000 buck mold
2 for the 30-30
1 for a unknown .46cal muzzleloading rifle
