    All true that most of the time standard primers light ball powders. But I didn't start the all or never discussion. Simple fact, if you want to flirt with a preventable potential problem with delayed...

    That looks particularly challenging. You might be able to pin the lower break after initial glue up but maybe not the top break. I'd just resign my self to a general re-contour, re-sand and refinish...

    Yep,
    Plenty of incidents recorded to back that up. I remember a string of squib and hang fire reports from 44 Mag hangunners in AK a few years ago. Seems they were trying to use heavy charges of...

    For hard, non-deforming solids like monolithic copper and brass, a meplat diameter somewhere between 60 and 70% of shank diameter has proven by testing and verification to yield maximum bullet track...

    Patched roundball out of a slow twist roundball rifle or a hollow base Minie out of an original musket. However, my best deer was with a 50 TC Maxi out of a TC Hawken. I wish the planets would align...

    Here's how the delrin false muzzle works on my Zouave. Allows starting Minies that are slightly oversized (.580 & .584) without damaging skirt by trying to start if tipped at an angle. Delrin is very...

    I have an original Remington "Zouave" with near pristine 7 groove bore. It is definitely tighter at muzzle than at breech end. The post referring to that is absolutely correct. The muzzle is going to...

    duckey, I think you were also interested in doing one of these. They do work very well! Here's one I did with a "spout" from old piece of deer antler. The long strap is optional and a bag without it...

    You need to do more research on the subject and understand physics a little better. Here's a 4 shot, wallowed out hole @ 50 yards. Original M1863 Springfield T-1 rifle musket shooting a Minié. I...

    The trajectory is the trajectory… of any projectile. Use the JBM simplified calculator as has been suggested. The BC of a 32 caliber round ball is about .043. That calculator will show the predictive...

    4 bores (aka 4 to the pound) were very common during the late 1800s for ivory hunting in Africa. While the recoil is big, it can be managed. There is another thread about shooting a 4 bore flintlock...

    The M1999 Montana action is very good. The ads are correct- it's kind of a hybrid between a Mauser 98 and a Win 70. Whether its design has great advantage over a Win 70 CRF… who knows? One thing...

    I can just feel it! :) Actually the 470 Nitro isn't so bad in a decent gun loaded to factory specs. The 450 Watts and the 458 Lott are of course comparable to each other and just barely tolerable off...

    I would imagine that the "new" design packaged/lubed bullets of the Maxiball type with the different weights of 365, 430 and 530 were supplied to T/C for distribution under the T/C brand by contract....

    I dug around in a buried box today and found one of the T/C peeps. I believe this one is for the Seneca/Cherokee models. I had it mounted to a T/C Seneca about 30 years ago. The base hole...

    That lube formula was pretty common for arsenal packs of Miniés in cartridges. It may very well be somewhat resistant to going rancid and for sure it is tenacious. However it may run over time but...

    Since you have the catalog- why not scan and post the pictures and weights. Or at least describe the design differences and list the weights… to help get at the questions posed by the OP.
