Exactly. That's what I'm doing now too. I'm curious though, How sweet would buckshot be if it were cast of premium metal and then nickle plated? I've never messed with nickle plating before, but it...
BPI sells nickle plated buckshot. I love em but I don't want a kiss on the back of my ear.
I wonder how this would work.

Gas checks work in conjunction with the correct bullet lube to prevent gas cutting which causes leading. Actually, I theorize that in a way, the gas check does nothing but create a high pressure ring...

I'm also very pleased with the Laser engraving. This was the first "Pre-bluing" graphic I've tried and I thought it came out perfect. I'll be using that trick a lot in the future.

Thank you for the kind words Jevyod. This rifle is the best to date in terms of sheer bench hours. Your patience is commendable and you deserve to own this magnificent rifle.
Roadie is correct. The...

I don't know, and I hope I never find out.
OK, biggest question I have is where you got/how did you make that brass hull?
Well I thought so. I tell you what I really want to do is to find an old SXS and send off to have some microgrooves cut 1-80 in the barrels. I think that'd be sweet as sourwood honey.

I don't know the answer to this, and its something I struggle with. If I preach too hard, it drives people away. If I participate too much it wreaks havoc with my own walk. What to do?

Hey, I'm around. Just busier than a frog hoppin in a skillet.
I told Brice1985 to check this out, and pay attention to longbow. Looks like I've still got it. :wink:
Now I tried the 687 round balls...
I hope the pot will work for you. I got it right from a guy that was getting out of the hobby and I haven't tried it yet, but it's a Lyman, and Lyman is good stuff.
The advice I gave you was tuned...

I've been a fan of Spyderco since 1995. Im trained as a knifemaker, so I would always buy the Endura and regrind the blade as I saw fit (flat ground razor edge with decorative file work on the...

Just my 2 cents worth:
The Remington 700's are designed to be as modular as possible. The same action will feed 30-06, 8mm Mauser, 300 winmag, and 458 Winmag, simply by using the correct...

If I could lend a suggestion: Steer clear of Shaw barrels, especially in the bargain basement package with the headspace gauges, and wrench. Spend a couple extra bucks and send the rifle to JES (It's...
Forum: Special Projects
Not in the slightest. The only reservation I have with doing this to the M1 Garrand is the relatively fragile Op rod. You have to be careful what to feed a Garrand in original 30-06 to avoid bending...
Forum: Special Projects
Well, go do it!
You need the tools necessary to disassemble your rifle and get the barrel off of it. Once you dismount the barrel, send it to JES reboring and have him cut in his three groove...
Designs like that in the OP are not made for target shooting which many of us tend to gravitate to. While I agree, you can't harvest what you can't hit, you look at this bullet and it seems to be a...

I've done extensive shooting of the 45-70 over the past 3 years. Five different rifles, 12 powders and more than 10 different bullet designs.
My conclusion (much to my chagrin) is that it works...

I have tested this new lube in the 45-70 with various loads, and I must say it deserves to be in the WWL lineup. Everybody should give this stuff a shot.
It's a little easier to work with than...

Gentlemen.

First rule of Gunsmithing: use the right tool for the job.

Perfect answers.
Measure your revolver throats and buy bullets that size. They will be sized to that measurement anyway by the time they get to the barrel. That's the largest bullet you can shoot...

Ill take a guess.
300winmag with 110-150 grain bullets?
Barrels are expendables. That rocks!
