I have the same rifle and the Missouri bullets shoot fine for me. Try 5.7gr of Unique and a good crimp. 4227 is ok for heavy bullets, but not for anytning lighter then 180gr.

And disregard all the...

GunNut - you do know about the matches at the Halton City Club? Here is a link to their web site http://www.haltomcityrpc.org/levergun.html. Watch out for a big guy in bib overalls...Preston tends to...

Not gonna happen - the .327 is not popular enough for lever gun makers to consider making one. Gun makers make guns for the masses - not for those of us who "want one". Like TXGunNut said - 32-20 is...

Get the .454. Use 45 Colt for most things and .454s for things that need more thump. I sold mine and wish I hadn't. BTW - Rossis are .454 bore - if you load .452 boolits you'll get leading and poor...

The quick answer is your boolits are too small. I found that my Rossi would only shoot accurately with .454 Boolits. .452s were all over the place. My load was 20gr of IMR4227 pushing a 250r SWC .454...

Several Lever Action Silhouette shooters use 190/200gr boolts for 200 yard targets. Try asking for their load data at the SteelChickens web site. Shoots like the .357 rifle because it works well in...

Anyone other than myself think that Winchester should come out with a .270 rimfire cartridge? The are already using the nail-gun cartridge necked down to .17 as the basis of the .17 Super Magnum. Why...

If you want to get rid of the .25-20 shoot me a PM. I've been scrounging for brass since last summer.

JB Bore Cleaner works quite well. Works for jacketed and cast.

Either will work, but I vote for the .44 - because you can load more rounds into the rifle. It should cycle properly - you understand that an angry hog won't wait for you to clear a jam (and it...

Bad idea to mix 'em. Bad for accuracy. I shot 170gr cast them 150gr jacketed and the 150s were all over the place. Cleaned the bore and the 150s were back on target.

I have the same rifle. I added a Marbles Tang sight and the "recommended" front sight...big mistake with the front sight. I should have stayed with the factory sight untilI saw where it was shooting....

I was never able to get my 30-30 to make one-hole groups with cast bullets. However, with 130gr Speer jacketed bullets and 26.5gr of 3031 I did get one hole groups at 50 yards. I use the rifle for...

I've been wondering where I left that thing!
PM me and I'll send you my address - I'll pay you back for the shipping. I can describe it, if necessary: A Winchester, has a lever on the bottom side,...

Got some Alox - was afraid it stood for Lower Los Angeles, lot of greasers there too.

What is LLA?

I have a .454 Rossi - I'd never want to rebore a .45 Colt to take that kind of pressure. The .454 Casull is a stout cartridge...you'd be better to buy one made for it. I doubt you'd find a gunsmith...

I removed all the Magnum primers and replaced them with standard primers. Guess I'll find a use for the magnums some day.

After you get the M92 look into the Gunslinger Spring Kit. It will change that trigger from a "Lawyer Pull" to "target" level. A bit tricky to install - actually it is easy to install, the...

Found beeswax and will shave up some Ivory soap today. And, I'll craft a cookie cutter from a shell case, or something similar.

Thanks for the advise.

PS:
We're having some "civil unrest"...

The tang sight does not interfere with thumb placement. And recoil has never been a problem with it in place either - Mine is a .454 Casull that I shoot .45 Colt in and I've shot full power .454s in...

Here is my solution - Marbles Tang Sight

The .45 Colt is a nice choice for deer and/or hogs.

Can I suggest a scope - either a scout scope or traditional. I have a Marbles Tang (peep) sight on my .45 and while it works quiet well target...

The Boolit is a 454-255 (out of production) two big lube rings...and I got the recipe from this web site. I'll add some beeswax and Ivory soap.
And the temp in St. Louis was all the way up to 84...

My lube is a bit gooey - kinda like candy that is half eaten and dropped on the carpet.

I mixed 50/50 Gulf paraffin and petroleum jelly with a teaspoon of STP oil treatment and two crayons for...
