You want the Era's Gone Bullet Moulds "Dragoon" bullet.

They all have government contracts. Just with different governments.

If it were not for ammonia based propellants needing bp igniter charges, I doubt bp would be manufactured by anyone on the planet. Sporting use is a tiny fraction of consumption.

Firefly, the twist rate in that older Shiloh is probably 1/36". Too slow to stabilize a bullet that long. Best stick with the 450s.

We all got lucky when Wolf sold to the Bryants.

Just picked up a new Shiloh Carbine in 50-70. Art in steel and walnut.

Isn't that the 38 acp?

In a muzzleloader, you want the powder ignition to distort the bullet into the rifling. In a cartridge gun, with the bullet already at groove diameter, you want the powder ignition to distort the...

The 457125 I bought last year had a very oversize nose, unable to chamber in any of my Sharps or Trapdoors. The 457132 I bought a few months later was fully in spec. Both were on sale at the time. ...

I do my 50-70s on an Anneeleez with the Super Short Magnum wheels. Works great. I also found I can run my 45-70s and 30-40 Krags on the same wheels no problems.

Send it to C Sharps and have it rebarrelled to 50-70.

I got 250 50-70s direct from Starline a couple of months ago. It comes and goes. Keep checking their website.

Huntington Die specialties may have an Rcbs set.

Hadley eye cup.

Yep, Shiloh barrel. The Montana centennials were 1874 pattern cartridge rifles built
in 1989 just after Shiloh moved to Big Timber. The rest is some Bubba's experiment it seems.

Sounds like this is a 45-70 Shiloh. Sounds like a separated case stuck in the chamber. Might want to have Shiloh look at it, may have been messed with, may have seen some overpressure loads.

Surprisingly, the actual original 9mm Para service bullet was a truncated cone of 124 grains of so. Entering service in Germany in 1908, it was replaced in 1911 by the RN as there was some thought...

Look for "Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West" by Mike Venturino, and set down and read it cover to cover. Then decide what you want to do with the rifle. Then you will know what you want.

Lee 1st edition red manual has useful data for the mark II case.

Keep an eye on eBay for a Lyman 45. This forum has all the info you need to be up and running with minimal cost.

I dip lube several heel calibers. 11mm French revolver, .440 Argentine, 44 American, 38 Colt, 36 and 44 paper revolver cartridges. Thickness depends on the speed of the dip. Beeswax and olive oil,...

Certainly for SPG. Done that. Never dipped Alox, but don't see why not.

I just dip the finished round bullet down in a catfood can of Melted Paraffin.

Yeah, I had to grind down a set of Lyman handles to fit an old Lyman Mold. Lyman has changed a lot of dimensions over the years.

Already ordered: Shiloh Sharps 1877 #1, .45-70 30" heavy half octagon, D&T for an MVA "A" series scope.
