I've been quite pleased with a NOE 311284 that casts slightly bigger than .312 and IMR 4350

My 77R in 30.06 shot OK with factory 150 grain corelokts. Somewhere around 2 MOA. I don't have any info written down for it anymore so going from memory (I've had this rifle 20 years). I hoped for a...

You won't have overpressure with black powder. Just don't load it with 4F. I've loaded 2F and 3F compressed as much as .300". You will want to start load development with a full case of BP, that is...

Sorry guys, I was just trying to offer another possible solution to stobey's problem. I didn't think I implied that it would be the easiest or least expensive thing to do, just an option if the...

If there is enough material at the breach end of the barrel, you could have the barrel set back and properly chambered to 45-70.

It doesn't quite fit your criteria, but I think the 416 Taylor can take care of anything. That's what I'm currently building on a 98 Mauser action.

257 Roberts?

Thanks Stevie. I plan on starting light, just wanted an idea of what others are using.

I've got a 07/15 St. Etienne. No import marks, 3 shot. No "N" stamp. The butt plate and barrel bands on mine were chromed at some point. I only have one clip. Mine takes some effort to open too. I...

Starline brass works well for me. I use it in my 45-90 Shiloh's and 45-100 Hepburn

I just checked the twist rate and it is an 18. If someone really wants to know dimensions I'll slug it tonight or tomorrow.

I'm not sure of the age, but I believe it's less than 12 years old. It came off from serial number B7205. I'll check the twist and report back. No sights on it. I haven't slugged it, but can. It was...

I've got a 34" heavy octagon Shiloh barrel in 45-90 with a hartford collar. It has been shot with BP and cast, but I don't think it's been fired much. It looks new. I'd like to sell it. I'd...

I've never shot a 9.3 so I can't compare them, but I built a 35 Whelen on a large ring 98 several years ago and couldn't be happier with it.

When I quench mine I drop them into a 5 gallon bucket about half full of water. When done, I pour out most of the water and retrieve the boolits. It's simple and works for me.

I'd check and see what the rate of twist is before I chose the boolit.

For powder, I would recommend 1.5F or 2F Swiss BP

I use 20-1 alloy (lead/tin), but have used and know others that use 25-1...

I believe your rifle was made to shoot black powder. I've got one of the 1885 Browning BPCR's in 40-65 that has fired over 9000 black powder rounds. I never tried any smokeless in it. It still shoots...

Yes, the Berthier.

If you buy the rifle and need a set of dies, PM me. I've got an old set of CH dies for it that I don't have a rifle for. If you're not going to buy the rifle I'd like contact info for it, after...

I'm in Vestaburg, grew up in Riverdale and Alma.

Hi Matt,
I made a drop tube out of a 2 foot piece of 3/8" copper tubing from the hardware store with both ends flared. I've been using it for ten years. It was cheap and it works fine. Just pour...

That's more than I've seen before. But I have only had three or four different lots. Did you mix your new powder well? I've found that it settles some and that leaves the larger granules on top. If...

[QUOTE=Jon K;1069099]If only 1 boolit to use.........Paul Jones 540 gr Creedmoor #45001.

+1 Paul Jones Creedmore. Mine casts 535 with 20-1

Is the crown OK? If so I would start with talking to the folks at Ruger. Based on reports from several people I know, I think you will find they will treat you very well. Unless you really want a 25...
