Looking forward to how that works out

If that bullet for the405 will chamber it should work good in your rifle

Ild keep the bullet length to 1.1 maybe 1.2 inches long. 1 1/2 powder should prove to be good and don't be surprised if 1f doesn't do real well. No experience with that bottle neck, but have a lot of...

Shiloh is 438 446 and so is my green mountain and from advertisements and feed back from folks that have used them so are Kreiger

Nice thing about that Hornady 405 brass it lasts a good long time

In all honesty the 45-90 cases I fireformed for my first 44-77 while waiting for Jamison to get their production up and running have lasted just fine and were capable of producing some very good...

405 brass is almost as bad or worse in the unobtainable category as the 44-77

The 45-90 brass does work but you need to fireform it so the cartridge will actually headspace in the shoulder instead of the rim
Best bet for brass right now is to place an order thru Buffalo Arms...

When someone mentions shortening the hammer on a rolling block, they mean taking material off the top of the hammer so that the longer cartridges will slide over.

Just rebarrel and chamber it. Also if you don't have the 50-90 brass on hand, you may want to wait until you have the brass on hand. Plus maybe in the mean time you might get a chance to shoot a...

Buffalo Arms sells brass templates

I’m of the mind in the end it comes down to work with what you have and find what the rifle wants with what you have and not what you think the rifle wants. Some rifles don’t like some brands of...

That heavy cotton paper is a bugger to work with, but the lighter stuff such as the 8 and 9 lb that we can't get anymore is easy enough.

Another use for that paper might be nitrate it and use for paper cutter Sharps, Springfield muskets etc.

It can work with bullets way under bore, for hunting type loads, but the accuracy fizzes out at 200 yards or so.

With the hole spacing already there at 17 inches , it sounds like the rifle was set up for the MVA 28 inch scope. So with the 6 minute mill dot reticle and sillhouette mounts the cost looks to be...

I'm thinking it was probably just a matter of not having the right load. I've seen some big time target rifle matches won shooting 2 and 3f in 45-70's. 3f might be to much of a good thing in the...

You would have to pick it up from your in-law or he would have to hand deliver it but he can’t ship it to you unless he’s properly licensed

Powder Inc won't ship less than 5 1 lb cans, and I'm not sure that Grafs, Powder Valley or Buffalo Arms will either.
But even if they did the hazmat on 1 lb of powder makes for an awfully expensive...

Way back in the 1800’s they weighed charges for the best accuracy.
This volume thing is largely perpetuated by the confusion that came about when Pyrodex first came out.
You can get very good...

Sounds good Tom

Tom there's been several on one of the muzzleloading forums have reported using the new production from Estes/Goex and say it shoots just the same as before the ownership change.

With the inflation in the economy prices coming down aren't likely.
Powder Inc shows Goex in stock for just short of 24$ lb in case lots.

40 grains of Goex 3f and a 255 gr bullet yields around 850 fps from my 5.5 in "new" model vaquero. Just a touch over 1000fps from my winchester 94 trapper.

One thing that people overlook or don't realize, Estes is the model rocket and other rocket motor go to company, they used Goex powders, so it only stands to reason that in an effort to keep the...
