230RN crayon cast over 9.0grns Unique, always performs. But in the .45's the chamber is too large often so I smoke the case and have a workout resizing. Sorry, couldn't help myself - you didn't...

I got a notification on sunday @ 1pm and checked it at 5pm and it was sold out. Been checking it at graf and such and it has been out - I wonder if they filter traffic or something?

I was given a 1881 marlin large frame frame, which sparked my interest in rebuilding it. Every part is serial numbered, so far I have amassed 8 serial numbers building the gun (this is 8 rifles that...

I have a double auto with identical 30" barrels, I got the idea of putting one of the old adjustable chokes on the end (the older ones). I scored an adjustomatic and was wondering if anybody has any...

If you cut through the bark in a circle around the trunk the tree will no longer be able to lift water and nutrients to the tree, this will kill it. Think a chainsaw cutting 1/2" into the bark in a...

The old Remington #2 rolling blocks are common in .32 RF, maybe pick one up and convert to 32-20 with a block and chamber reamer or if the barrel is bad bore it to .38 spl? I got a converted .32 rf...

If that's your only .45 colt I'd polish out your sizing die or "neck" size only. 9.0gr unique is a good load, sounds like the chamber is cut too generously. I also find best results with soft lead...

Case 222 and a pushblade or if things get really western it has a 48" snowcaster. If things are REALLY bad I'd like to try my Case 646 with the loader. Sure beats breaking your back and wasting...

I don't see any 32W on it so it must have been converted in the past, the hammer and block finish do look a little off compared to the rest of the rifle.

I see that this thread took off a little. After reading more on the #2 and such it seems like it's no match for the 38/55, but nice as it's stronger than the #4. Update - I won it at an auction...

I have a #2 rolling block in 32RF and I was hoping to have it bored to 38/55 and swap the extractor. I got it at an auction thinking it was a larger action than it turned out to be (they were unsure...

All the gunshow robbers are currently milking all they can out of 25-20, and it's spilling over to 32-20. "super rare' "collector item" "low/last production" are used waaay too much at the gunshows...

It seems like components and esp loaded rounds are bringing in a fortune, especially for 25-20. I wish starline would do a run and slow down the hype over 25-20 - they've become more expensive than...

Couple fronts-
for gasoline you can take two approaches, make the engine run poorly or try to over-pressure the head. The second is probably a slippery slope. Mixing diesel or peanut oil in gas...
