Well, I own a Ruger ML and IIRC, it also has a 1 in 32" twist. That gun loves the 370 grain T/C Maxiball with 90 grains of FFFg.

CH-4D will completely coat any of their dies with TiN, for the right amount of money. I had a .38-40 sizer die completely coated, not because I did not want to lube every time, but because it seems a...

The correct dampening fluid is plain 30-weight motor oil. Be sure to avoid getting it into the knife/bearing area.

I had one of these, new, in the middle 1960s and they work quite well. It was...

Well, BP fouling has been analyzed and the residue is very much alkaline (basic). It seemed to me that it should be acid, with the possibilities of the combustion leaving behind the anhydrides of...

I didn't read all of the replies, but here is additional information:

Most of these guns were arsenal reconditioned in the Soviet arsenals. At the time, they blued or parkerized the guns all...

You can quite worrying. Years ago, I adopted a modified loading technique that improved my groups considerably. There are others that have done this and had it work for them, too.

I have had exceptional results with Lil'Gun in the .45 Colt and .454 Casull. However, it plainly likes heavy bullets and near-maximum loads. When loaded down it gets dirty, too.

I did try it in a...

When you seal primers in vacuum bags with a vacuum sealer, you essentially hermetically seal them. Once in the bag, they will not absorb air, water, chemical vapors, or anything else.

Primers, as...

NEI will custom make a top punch for you to fit any mold that they make.

>Isoparafins (petroleum derived?), water, oleic acid, nonoxynol-10 (???), triethanolamine, glycerine, nonoxynol-4 (???), fragrance and BHT (???). <

Isoparaffins are, indeed, petroleum derived....

>One reason I don't like too soft of a lube that what is in front of the first ball goes down the bore and all the other throats have the lube blown away.<

Yes, yes, yes. However, the Bore Butter...

I have loaded and shot wax base wads/soft gas checks and have experimented with a buddy on same. Here are a few things you should know:

You can make them out of plain beeswax by forming a thin...

>either pine or menthol scent<

No, that is Wintergreen Oil and you can bet it is the synthetic variety, Methyl Salicylate.

>The only revolvers in .32 H&R with long barrels (over 6") have been the S&W 16-4 (6") and the Ruger SS. That is, except for a few Dan Wessons that had longer barrels (fine revolvers, too).<

Thanks, Dale.

Armi San Paolo (Saint Paul) is now Euroarms. Some of them that I have seen are passably good.

The LOP is not an exact number when you are talking about an actual measurement change. In theory, it is just as previously illustrated. However, it is affected by the thickness of one's clothing.

Dale,

Tell me about your loads, please. I recently picked up one of these at a muzzle loading shoot in Arkansas. The included info plays the lawyer-number game with the loads: huge, cavernous...

I ordered some of these and they just came in. They even sent them in 0.458" diameter for that old Cimarron Model P that I have with the huge throats. They look beauriful.

The very best solution to your problem is to use NEI's modified RCBS handles; they are gems.

>I already have a 45/70 and it will just be easier to have a different lot of brass so I do not get things mixed up.<

The .45-90 is overkill for anything short of, say, 500 yards. I own one, a...

TiN can be applied to the whole die. I had CH-4D do that to a .38-40 sizing die. Be aware that full-length WC (or W2C) and TiN dies both require lubing the cases, so that is not saved. They simply...

The borates, boric acid and sodium tetraborate can both act as fluxes, along with any compound that will form a glass and act as an oxygen barrier. Some are very toxic, though.

You needn't worry...

The SAAMI drawings for ammo and chambers that I have are far more detailed than any of those so far displayed. SAAMI has a website, so go there and they may sell you a set for a price.

Remember...

Some of the H&R Trapdoors had a problem with the breech block latch. Eventually they would get so that the breech blocks would open when fired and auto-eject the cases. It was fixable, but the...
