Last week I was able to spend a couple of evenings casting for the first time. As a kid I used to watch my neighbor Dick Maddux (was a great man) cast and somehow it took 40 plus years for me to get...

That has been my general feeling from early on, and the math that people have assisted me here in the forum backs that up, thank you for adding to the opinions, it helps with confidence and such...

Hello 15 Meter, Laser sailor here, though not lately. Use to race it back in the Seventies, till I got my first Pontiac.

You're way ahead of me on this regulating stuff, thanks for the input. ...

Book is on the way, thank you.

Having never heard of it, I had to look up the 470NE, 2lbs of lead, great solution. Reminded me of everyone throwing some 90lb bags of cement against the tailgates of their El Camino or Ranchero to...

Hello lar45

Wow...

To start with, great tool you are sharing, thank you VERY MUCH! And with such good news: "5627.67128" DANG : )
now if I can just make my gal 1/2 as happy on her Birthday...

Thank you bld451 for the sober detailed advice, and the encouragement.

To everyone: I appreciate very much that you'all on this forum are helping me to figure out how get this old gun back into...

[QUOTE=kenton;4885336]If you are not married to the 45 caliber you might consider a 38 special insert. That way nobody could put a modern lever action or even worse a Ruger only load in the 45-70...

Thank you Waksupi,

Good to hear of some direct experience on this issue.

Still looking into this, but so far it seems like if careful it's not one of those "never do this" things, but still...

Thank you Elk Hunter, I have been pondering (without your obvious knowledge and experience) along the same line. Since I already load cowboy loads for replica 58's with conversion cylinders, I could...

I would like to hear about this too from some people, in the meantime: what mold and lead are you using? I picked up some 12ga brass shells and the Lyman .735 mold, but have not had the chance to...

Sailboat Keels...

Lotsa junk sailboats out there, many have 2600 lbs or so of lead in the keels, and they can't hardly give the boats away.

You get a nice Flag pole in the deal too.

I love your sentiment on this issue, and thank you for the input. That is why after years of lurking on this forum, I am finally here, and asking questions, to be able to get other's perspectives...

[QUOTE=Tracy;4884058]I wouldn't do the shim thing though, because I doubt it will have much if any effect with the inserts and might cause the barrels to start separating.


Thank you very much...

30 Inch Barrels, missing bead sight (broken off), one hammer does not match, as well as one hammer screw. I purchased it from the original owners family (Berge) around 1985, they were a...

Thank you Lar45,

The brass shims make good sense.

I was able to text back and forth just now with someone at Chaszel, and they are going to let me exchange these. I opted for the 20x45,...

Thank you guys for the advice and comments, I agree with not wanting to cut down the barrels. These are severely pitted, really bad, so using them as is for 12ga loads just will not work, but they...

The decision to get the .45colt/.410 was a major compromise, to the point that it is practically a salvage effort to sort this out. Getting the .45's sorted well is the priority. I agree the .410...

Hello All : )

Have been reading all over the internet for clues but cannot find where anyone has documented figuring out this situation that I have chosen to put myself into, seems that I am "off...
