I have the H & R 1873 Little Big Horn Carbine and recently replaced the crappy rear sight with a Pedersoli Creedmore sight. Inletting was required but a MUCH better setup than the factory sight.

I would be more tempted to go with something along these lines

This one was specifically designed for the Trapdoor. It has the necessary lube grooves and should work well in any single...

The NOE mold mentioned in the OP shipped today! I will keep you updated on how it casts and what the performance is like in my carbine ��

I have only fired 405 gr from my carbine at this point. They seem tolerable...I have only had the rifle for a few months and haven't shot it alot as of yet. I replaced the rear sight with a...

I like the value of the Lee molds but was not overly fond of the hollow base 405. They were a pain in the butt to pan lube (lube getting inside the hollow base) and the noses always looked "rough"...

I was hoping you would chime in Larry Gibson! I value your opinion. Thanks!

I am thinking about getting a new NOE mold for my H&R Trapdoor Carbine. 254865
Any thoughts on this design and bullet weight? I would like to load it over Goex FFg. I had read somewhere that the...

I know this is an old thread but I'm wondering if anybody has any updated reviews of this boolit? I'm thinking about trying this with FFg in my H&R Trapdoor.

I liked the Lee 405 bullet but found the hollow base to be a disadvantage so I filed the HB pin off flat. I now have a 459-425-FB. It shoots well with a veggie & card wad over 65 grains of FFg.

I looked at that boolit and I like it. Unsure of powder at this point but I am a fan of Accurate powders....thinking I will try to work up a load using AA4064.

Thanks for your extensive knowledge Larry Gibson.

I tend to like heavy lead, and in all honesty I guess I'm looking for a hunting round to keep inside 100 yards using the heaviest bullet possible. With a 1 in 10 twist, will the .06 stabilize a...

Dan Cash, I like that boolit. Do you crimp it?

Hello folks! I have been a casting for years but mostly for 45 cal lever guns. I have a beautiful Browning Xbolt medallion in 30.06 that I would like to cast for. I'm sure this has been covered...

My Swedish roller in 50-70 Govt

What are you using for a blow tube? Just curious if there is a technique that works better than others.

I am going to try a few thin leather wads lubed with pure neatsfoot oil. The neatsfoot oil is used in leatherworking to keep leather supple. I will place a couple newsprint wads over the leather.

My 1871 Swede roller rechambered to 50-70. I wish I had full wood!

I have a Swede Rolling Block that was purchased from TradeEx Canada. It was re chambered to 50-70 Govt. I have been doing tons of reading on BPCR and can't wait to head to the range for the first...

Anybody ever try leather wads? Thin veg tanned leather seems like it would do the trick!

Is a boolit .003 overbore too big to start with?

I do a lot of custom leatherwork. Just wondering if anybody may have ever tried using a thin leather wad? Seems like it would be perfect material. Just curious.

Yep! Mine looks the same way :)

I bought it from TradeEx. It was the only one they had in stock with a "very good" bore. The ret of the rifle was beyond rough so I did a bit of restoration. I can't wait to shoot it!
