I see several folks recommending heavier bullets. Although I like the idea of shooting longer distances, most of my shooting will be inside of 200 yards. I have heard that sometimes these may not...

So after years of wanting one I finally got my Quigley rifle.
I’ll be loading 405 grain .458 bullets over black powder.
With all that out of the way I’m hoping to cast my own using a 20:1 alloy...

Couldn't tell you about the H&R but my 92 Winchester put very large bruises on me after about a dozen shots.

20 inch round. Would have loved one in octagon.

Just realized that I missed part of the question. No I don't really have plans to shoot black powder out of it. I don't really feel like tearing the rifle down after shooting it every time. With that...

I have never used the water pan but I usually only do briskets or pork butts. I have cooked for as many as 40 people with requests coming in for bigger and bigger groups. It's getting to the point...

Well, next to the .44 mag it feels like pop gun going off. At 15 yards I aimed at the number 8 on a silhouette and hit it, with the two followup shots touching the first. That was shooting from a...

If it were me. Id ask to cut a chunk off big enough to take to a scrap yard and have them check it with an x-ray scanner and see what I was dealing with and take it from there. But yeah that is a lot...
I saw one at a gun show recently that was stainless with the simulated ivory grips for $450.00

Bought it off the shelf.....well put it on lay-away.
Haven't been able to shoot it just yet. There has been quite a bit of family drama since I brought it home (not because of the gun...

Japanese, my 1892 .44mag is also and was my favorite rifle. I think it just took 2nd place.

I intend to hunt with 180 gr buffalo bore bullets with mine. That is until I can develop my own.

It's a Winchester 1873 in .357 and it's mine!
Sorry for the crappy photo but it's mine!
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
It was a mix of range lead, wheel weights, and pewter. I'm suspecting that it came from the range lead. I expected some to show up but not almost 10%.

Curiosity got the best of me so I took a sample to my local scrap yard for them to check with their X-ray scanner. The results yielded mostly what I expected but there was a little surprise thrown...

Is that on your ingots or your bullets? I have seen a chart that would answer your questions but can't seem to locate it. I'm only going from memory here so take it for what it's worth. It will...
Forum: Cast Boolits
As it is I shoot Winchester 240 gr JSP out of it now and it eats them up. I am looking really hard at the Lyman #429667 for the .44 mag and the Saecco #354 for the .357
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I have my lead alloyed (close to Lyman#2) and poured into ingots. Now I'm looking to actually cast some bullets and seeking suggestions on molds. I shoot an 1892 Winchester .44mag with a 1:26...

Only having had one pour under my belt, this has been a good read. Glad it wasn't any worse than it was. While I wholeheartedly agree about not needing all the safety equipment if we are paying...

Considering I was looking to hunt with some of these, I was worried about them fragmenting on impact with bone tissue.

It wasn't dirt so much but a skin that kept forming across the top of the melt. Perhaps dross was a poor word
