Well I don't know if I can help you or not. My 38-55 has an 18 twist barrel. I shoot a 330 gr Lyman bullet with 18 grains of 5744. I don't know what your twist rate is, but I hope it is faster...

Funny how this thread keeps evolving and going. I started it over 6 years ago. Don was right I did move over to Scandinavia for a two year job in Sweden. I am back and am shooting. I ended up...

Sorry I misread the heading. I thought it said ID Thongs. I was expecting pictures and I wanted to see if I recognized any of them. Sorry. Angus

I mean casting not castung-----sorry

I posted this on another forum and have not really received any new ideas. Anyway I have been casting in the garage with the aid of an old kitchen range hood that vents outside. This works well. I...

You can hit the 800 target at the Q. I did it with my 38-55 with 18gr of 5744 and the 335 gr Lyman mould. I did use a midrange sight. I hope yours goes high enough. Angus

I have been using a RCBS dipper for casting some bullets for + 500 grains. What is your favorite dipper and have any of you had success in making one? Thanks

I called the retailer I bought the mould from. They said they would happy to exchange it for me. I was going to do this, but I visited with some of the local shooters and asked them. I guess 4 or...

Anybody using this bullet? I was wondering what size bullet you are getting from it. I got one for Christmas and I can't get it to drop anything larger than .456 sometimes .457. I have tried the...

Listen to what everyone is saying. Buy what you want, but you did ask. Now not only is the brass more money you will also be shooting close to 2X the powder with each shot. It is certainly going...

I have the Uberti in the 38-55 highwall. I think it is great. I have read that some people have had issues with the barrels and not much support from the factory.
I bought mine from Buffalo...

hydraulic--- I know exactly where you are talking about. One of my favorite prarie dog spots. Quite a trail.

Kenny and Don- Yes I am a native of the great square state of Wyoming. However I...

Got me again. JayEm? You are making this stuff up.

If it is indeed just the barrel that is off and not the receiver then it is not that big of a deal. I don' t know how this would happen. I assume it has not always been that way. If it needs a new...

Don--- Rawhide Butte???? I guess us northern Wyoming people must be sheltered. I don't know where that is either.

MLV-- The Hepburn is an old one, but has been rebarelled, so who knows. I will...

Where is Hell Gap?

Thanks. I pm'ed him on the Shiloh site. Angus

Anybody have any experience with this cartridge? I have a friend, (not computer savvy and doesn't want to learn), who just purchased a beautiful Hepburn in this caliber.
I guess we are looking for...

I tell people it is where God and Elvis live. Angus

I'll post pics as soon as it gets here. I sent the money order this morning.

I want a soule type.

Thanks Kenny. I shoot with those guys and I have a great time with them. I do want to learn more about shooting the black stuff. I'll look you up sometime. Angus

Thanks to all of you for your advice on getting another BCPR. I bought a Shiloh #1 used from a guy in Bozeman MT. It is 45-70 with a heavy half round barell. When it gets shipped to me I will post...

Thanks all for the replies. I'm not sure if I am reading your posts right, but I was not trying to buy one off of anybody. Thanks again MLV for the info. I did get an email from Dave at Lone Star...

Thanks MLV. I looked at DZ's sight. Those are great looking guns. You didn't state in your reply, but have you any experience with the Gove roller made by Lone Star? I don't think I have ever seen...
