First, what was the original low wall chamberings?
Have a barrel coming that looks like a sewer pipe, price was right, and was thinking of chambering it to 25-35. Already have a 25-20 SS original...

Shooting old rifles, pre 1890s with soft steel barrels, will the gas checks damage or wear down the rifling ??

Old retired gunsmith told me and showed me this one. Had a broken grade 8 bolt stuck in a hardened steel planitary gear. OK, back to the facts. He showed me that no matter how hard the steel is,...

Verified the twist of my 405 Win 1885 from Davidsons. It's a 1 in 14, the bullet is over stabilized, but thats ok. Throat is ~.250 inch. Will have to recheck once I cut a bullet in half. My cast...

Just got mine in 405 with the 28 inch barrel. Was I pleasantly surprised !!

The wood was much better, very good dark grain, and sharp checkering !! Sharp enough to take off skin when rubbed...

I have a Win Hiwall in 25-20 SS with Close Coupled Double set triggers with frosted 28 inch #3 barrel, that I've been playing with for 3 months. It's too cold, 17 deg., to do any serious accuracy...

First ran into them at some of the local gun shows in Duluth area. Unfortunately, everytime I see them at a gun show, my pocket book is seriously lighter. But they have always had the best prices.

In some of my research on the 25-20 SS, I have found several references to case streching if the case interior is not clean. Could you be having the same problem ?? I know in my WIN 1885 HW with...

I know about the pressure issue, this is my greatest concern !! If I end up getting it, sleeveing the chamber would be a good option that I forgot about.

But if I'm going to do that, I might as...

Im looking at a Stevens 44 that was originally a 25-20 SS and some where during its life, some IDIOT ran a 25-20 WCF reamer into it.

To try and salvage it, is there any 25 cal caliber cartridges...

Found it !!!
44-90 SBN 2 7/16 is the same case as the 44-77 SBN with the bullet seated out to the same OAL as the standard 44-90 SBN. It did not last very long due to the bullet being held in by...

WELL !!!! The Cerrosafe arrived today and just had to do a chamber cast. Doing a chamber cast removes all doubt !

It is confirmed, it is a 44-77 SBN with free bore for the paper patched...

Reslugged the barrel today, this time with an expanded .446 bullet, bore is .443 and grove is .451.

The guy I got the gun from had good luck using .446 grease grove bullets made 30-1.

He was...

HELP !!!!

Measured the chamber on my new to me Ballard 44-77 Sharps Bottle Neck (SBN) and came up with a case length that was longer than the 44-77 SBN. There are no cartridge stampings on the...

Well, had a metal engineer look at the receiver and he said that it was caused by 'scale' being hammered/folded into the metal during the forging process. He measured the width and depth with some...

I've seen several Ballards with forging flaws in the steel on different parts of the receiver. All looked like cracks with the metal missing, but closer inspection revealed that it was a forging...

Could you help me ID the brass manufacture and where can I locate more of it ??

TNKS !

CNX this thread. Owner kept this brass and replaced with other brand.

Question for everyone. I'm getting some BRW & A headstamped brass with a rifle I purchased.

Who is the manufacture of this brass ??

The only time I reload at the range is at the hunting shack actually. I have left an old Lee hand loader there, minus dies. Reload dirung the BS sessions at night.

I make my own. 50/50 Beeswax and Jojoba oil (Original replacement for Sperm Whale Oil and used in the 1st automatic transmissions as hydraulic fluid). Works great from 20 F to 85 F air temps. Did...

I shoot 90+% 124 grain TC cast with WSP and 5.6 grains of SR7625 out of my comp'd Colt MK4 series 70. Absolutely love it and best of all the 4 lb keg was free !!!! My shooting friend got transfered...

I use 6 grains of Unique with a 250 gr LRNFP. Have not played with the 230 grain LRNs as they all seem to disappear out of my 1911 before I get a chance to try some in the 45 Colt. :castmine:
