Long thread. Anybody have a suggestion for quick and painless method for trimming of the 32-20 brass to .310" length? Thanks fellas.

Welcome to what has become one of my favorite aspects of shooting the 30-30, namely hand cast bullets.

Initially I purchased a RCBS 180 RNFP mould and a Lee 170 grain RNFP mould. I much prefer...

I may have to try that Saeco bullet Griff. As it is, my 94 shoots into 1 ½ inches at 100 yards using a globe and post sighting arrangement using the RCBS 180 grain sized to .313 propelled by 17...

From my view, the internals are not visible to anybody once the piece is complete. If I were to use the thing, modern construction techniques and materials will probably improve the design. Quieter,...

MVA make nice sights. When I ordered for my Winchester 94, I also got a sight base for a Uberti 1873 and an 1885 at the same time. All 3 sight bases were the same. I suspect the same sight base as...

I haven't used a plugged cartridge, so I cannot comment on that method. Weber's seater really is a thing of mechanical beauty. It is sort of "L" shaped, has a nice wooden handle that makes gripping...

OP, if you haven't already you need to contact Mr. Weber to have a breach seating tool made up. I love mine he made for my highwall. Works for both scope and vernier tang sight. Also, you will...

32-40 brass is longer by far than either of the other cartridges. It also has completely different chamber dimensions. If I understood your point Chev. William, those cases would be totally...

Good morning.

When I was a tenderfoot in hand loading, I remember reading about load density. The proposition that a case very nearly filled with powder is more likely to bring uniform burn than...

What a willing buyer and willing seller agree to. There are blue books of gun values available to help one arrive at a price.

Before I went too far with my experiment, I'd make sure the SWC will chamber easily in your rifle. Some won't.

As far as hardness of the lead, I've shot 20-1 RNFP plain based alloy through my 357...

I have shot many 357 magnum loads thru my Uberti 1873. No issues. I understand the desire to second guess manufacturers and their engineers, and sometimes that is prudent. Ferinstance the mainspring...

Do as you will, but I find that little booklet you can get that has loading data from all the sources photocopied and contained in it and is cartridge specific for the 30-30 very helpful. Lots of...

I was at the LGS the other day, and there were many Browning and/or Winchester 1885's on the rack, and a Pedersoli as well. The Miroku Brownings didn't have any tangs, and the Winchester had a...

Finster, I have that lever safety spring, as well as the lighter springs for the cartridge elevator levers. I didn't like them, and retrofitted the factory springs. I'll send it to you if you wish....

Sounds like a deer rifle is not a priority for you. I guess you just want to blast at targets or plinking maybe? I like my Uberti 1873 clone in 357 magnum. Plenty accurate and easy to use and easy to...

I dunno where you would find them, but mine has the close coupled DST setup. It is nice. Was a factory "special order" in 1904 I guess. :)

I hesitated to open the thread out of fear of what would meet my eye. Actually, that isn't as bad as it could be.

+1 for the HD Military. It is a sweet shooting pistol. They have a reputation for cracking frames if any but standard velocity ammo is used, and the "knowledgeable" tell you to replace the mainspring...

I don't know about TheMoose, but the bore on mine is pretty rotten. That's why I bought the kit. In shooting the rifle, I have learned that even with a rotten bore it shoots as good as I can, so I...

You could get the kit from NECO. I have one I haven't used yet. Supposedly comes with bullets, and does have an instruction sheet.

Wow, CharGar, let me guess... you smoke cigarettes, and stuff the filters in your ears for earplugs at the range, right? No sense in buying ear protection! Sell those useless ear muffs on Ebay! No...

Wow. A whole lot of different advice. I must have really poorly stated my question, or really poorly described the rifle. I am not applying a 20 ton jack to close the lever on the rifle. It closes...

Fellas. I recently purchased the insert for my Hornady (nee Stoney Point) comparator to measure the shoulder on the venerable 30-30. I haven't used it yet, as I haven't noodled my way through what I...

I liked my Marlin 94 in 357 magnum. Shot it quite a bit with a lower powered scope on it.

Sold it years ago.

Couple years ago I bought a Uberti 1873 clone in 357 magnum, and have been really...
