I tend to cast the larger bullets, and buy the smaller ones that I shoot in large volume. I've been shooting cowboy for about 4 years now, and when I'm healthy and shooting at least one match per...

Resized, primed and flared 50 .480 Ruger cases to be loaded with some of the 325 grain Lee LFNs that I sized and lubed Saturday evening. Cleaned up some in the reloading room as well. But they'll...

24 gauge would be a better fit for a .58 rifle. 28 gauge would be good for a .54.

That is a beautiful rifle. I hope mine turns out as nice.

I took my Uberti 1876 in .50-95 to the range for the first time this morning, so now I have brass that needs loading.

There are two sets of dies available for this, the RCBS Legacy series dies,...

I was looking at GM barrels last night, and saw the .40 barrel they have for sale. After the suggestion of the .40-50 SS, I looked at what other .40's were available, and came across the .40-65 WCF,...

I guess another question would be, is there a gunsmith around that specializes in single shot rifles in the old calibers? That is going to be likely to have reamers for the black powder Sharps and...

Marlin, you're absolutely right, my procedure is out of order, I was thinking about that last night as I was oiling up the parts after getting them out of the derusting solution.

I also determined...

This is a rotary extractor action. The circular part underneath the barrel stub with the vertical projection is the extractor.

I started out thinking that his would make a nice gun in .416...

Tex,
My 50-70 started out life as a NYSM rifle; it still has the original stock on it. When I bought the rifle, it had a 20" .30 caliber barrel on it, either a .30-30 or a .30-40 Krag. I couldn't...

Even though it may now be moot, here are the pictures of the roller parts, after they came out of the EvapoRust. They were rinsed in hot water, and as they dried a little surface rust began to form,...

I have another RB in 50-70, and I shoot it with 60 grains of FFg in a Starline case, under a .030" fiber wad and the Lee 450 grain bullet. It's very pleasant to shoot. It's the original rainbow...

It's a #1 Military action -- it has thicker side walls than the #1 sporting action that was sold to the civilian market.

I'm certainly willing to look at other cartridges, as long as I can get brass and dies.

I looked at the rim, and it doesn't appear to be rebated, based on this diagram: ...

I've had an action from a .43 Spanish rifle that I picked up several years ago sitting on my bench, and I stare at it and try to decide what to do with it. Finally, I've made the decision -- I've...

I was just looking at the Accurate Molds site, and it looks like the #32-160G (http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=32-160G-D.png) or the #32-170D...

TXGunNut, the nose of the Hunter's Supply boolit is about 0.230" at the meplat, as closely as I can measure, it's a bit difficult because of the ogive. Unless the RD boolit is smaller than that,...

Those were the commercially produced Oregon Trail boolits, over 6.4 grains of Trailboss. 240s are going to be softer, with a gas check, so they'll probably shoot better, I hope. Unfortunately (or...

I was looking at that mold last night on the Lee site; I may pick one up next time I place an order with Midway. I was using 10 grains of Unique under that 170 grain, and it shoots well, also. Once...

I just checked them, and both of the cartridge guides were tight. But it was a definite possibility!

My '94 is a carbine, SN143XXXX, and appears to have been one of the last ones made in 1942. They suspended production during the war, and started up again in 1948 with SN1500001, according to...

I tried one of these, with the 24" octagon barrel. the 200 grain RNFP boolits at .430, and they would keyhole at 25 yards! I made up some dummy cartridges with 240 grain semi-wadcutters, just to...

I shot my first cowboy match in the Cody-Dixon class today, using my '94 in .32 Win Special. A problem cropped up that I hadn't run into before, while just shooting on the range -- I should have...

Track of the Wolf also stocks them, although the flash channel needs to be opened up. With the new nipple as-is from Track, it takes about 4-5 caps before I can get a charge to go off.

I love it, it's what I shoot in matches, both pistol and rifle, in both black powder and smokeless.
