I think I need a wad with a deeper shot cup & shorter collapsible part. With the 12SL's there's no room for the nitro card (.125") even without the cereal.

For powders, I also have some 2400,...

Thank you Longbow! I do have half a pound of Unique which I've been using mostly for .38 spl but that will change today! You've been most helpful and I thank you. All I need now is some 20 ga....

Thanks Longbow. I'm not wedded to using AA hulls, I just have a bunch available not being used for anything else. I was a little concerned that there'd be a bulge at the ball's midpoint that would...

I just found a rifled slug barrel for the Win 1300, and I have a can of 4756 which is currently serving no purpose; I also have a bunch of 20:1 round balls left over from an old black powder...

I'm looking at p.152 of Lyman's 4th edition Cast Bullet Handbook: for the 311291 boolit, Mr. Lyman lists 31 gr. as the maximum load of SR4759, giving 46900 CUP (Copper Units of Pressure) and 2325...

For instance this, for .36's:...

Thanks for all the help, everyone! I thought, for the benefit of anyone who might find this thread interesting in future years, that I'd follow up with what worked for me:

Remove the sight from...

Thanks very much! The only pin I see on the underside appears to be the one about which it swivels for the windage adjustment.

There's a bit of looseness in that, too... there's a good 1/8 inch...

Hello the camp!

I have an 1884 Trapdoor with the Buffington sight. The windage screw is very stiff, to the point that I'm afraid to turn it for fear of snapping something.

Can anyone point me...

Hello, and my first post :-)

Mostly I cast for BP-- muzzleloader and cartridge (.45-70). The gov't load for the Trapdoor specified a 20:1 Pb:Sn alloy. So, suppose I had 10lb of lead (from a...
