Tim,
I have been using accurate mold# 42-380-B ( .411 diameter ) in my Ruger #1 450/400 with good results.
The mold was ordered for a double rifle, but fits the ruger chamber almost perfect. When...

Any 300 grain bullet propelled by Trail Boss produces very light recoil. Another option is to contact Accurate Molds and specify a .45 caliber 250 grain pistol bullet @.458 diameter. Earlier this...

I could dip the bullet nose in yellow but most of the tractors around here are green and rust in color.

I went shooting this morning and despite hurricane force winds everything shot good. I took a Ruger M77 .350 Rem Mag loaded with Lyman 358318 coated with John Deere Green and LBT 190 gr LFN coated...

After seeing the good results you folks are getting with powder coating I decided to give it a try. I ordered some Super Durable Wet Black and John Deere Green from All Powder Paint, living in Idaho,...

T-Bird,
Congratulations on your new rifle, it was worth the wait.
I lucked out and found one at Sportsmans Warehouse last fall:bigsmyl2:, it is by far the most enjoyable rifle I own. The rear sight...

I don't know if this will help, but my Miroku 1873 has a 2.2" hole spacing on the tang, I'm not sure what the Uberti's are.
I installed a Skinner barrel mount peep on mine.

I bought a new Winchester '73 last month so my experience with them is pretty limited, but I wont be shooting any full power loads in it. Actually, using it to replace a 22 rimfire makes sense. I'm...

Mooman, I figured somebody here would have one like it. As soon as we get warmer weather I'll borrow a friends rifle and see how they shoot, My .50 is a round ball shooter.
They should make quite a...

I found this mold at a local gun shop yesterday, it looks like an Ohaus mold for a .50 cal muzzleloader. The 3 driving bands measure .511/.512 and the nose is .497 cast with pure lead.
Has...

The best design for your rifle will be determined by the amount of freebore and the magazine length, I suggest you contact Tom at Accurate molds. I cant praise Tom’s work enough. Every mold has been...

I'll check out the Nitro Express forum and EABCO. I shouldn't complain about accuracy since this gun kicks hard enough to drive fence posts with. It makes my .416 Taylor feel like a .270

I’m using a scope for load development, 1“ at 50 yds is the best I can get with iron sights. I sure wish Ruger would spend a couple bucks extra and put good express sights on the big calibers. This...

Hi all.
Last month I bought a Ruger #1 450/400. The accuracy is consistent but not stellar averaging 5 shots between 2”-3” at 100 yds. I had Tom at Accurate Molds build a 380 grain mold for it,...

Swamp,
I have the Sabatti 45-70 sxs and had no problem finding loads that regulated with 300-400 grain bullets. My rifle really prefers faster burning powders such as blue dot and 2400, Trail boss...

I have several T/C molds and RCBS handles fit. I believe the .54 maxi ball molds cast a 420 grain bullet, give or take a bit and $30 is a pretty good buy.

Mine has a .380 groove diameter and will chamber the longer 2.125" cases. With the open sights it will shoot 1 1/2"-2" 5 shot groups @ 100 yds.

Elk Hunter, if I get to Oregon this year i'll see if you're home.

Mike, I'm not sure what a .600 nitro scream sounds like, probably like a grizz in labor.
The sabbati is adequate for what i'm...

I googled chapuis and found a round frame 30-30 that really made me drool. How does the chapuis compare to the merkel? My sabatti will make a nice plinker and rabbit shooter but I would like to get a...

Mike,
I will probably never shoot a full power load in it. It will kill deer and rabbits just fine with light loads. I'm already planning a way to afford a Merkel. If I work 80 hrs a week and stop...

Dblhunter,
If you have to use factory ammo to regulate the rifle then I would use remington 405 gr loads.

Rockrat,
I bought a Sabatti double 45/70 yesterday and feel like I won the lottery. It...

I have been charged by an Idaho blacktail jack. A friend made a bad hit with his .458 and the rabbit charged me, unlucky for him, he veered at the last minute and ran into a 500 grain flat point from...

Another option is the Sabatti double 45/70. I picked one up this morning at Cabelas, and while it isn't a Rigby, it isn't bad. It's regulated to 1.5"@50 yds, basically it shoots a figure 8 shaped...

Restock the seneca!
$700-$800 is way overpriced for a seneca, I bought an unfired 45 this spring for $500, and even though I felt it was too much I dont regret it.
I have seen several seneca stocks...

The seneca and cherokee are my favorite front stuffers, something about the way they fit and balance. I lucked out and found a .36 maxi mold in swapping and selling. for a .32 maxi you might be...
