From what i'm reading your carrier block falls because the carrier spring (the one on the right side) is weak or needs to be adjusted (tighten'd) to apply more pressure to the lifter arm. There is a...

Ditto, Ditto, tell it like it is (was), Mr. Gibson.


stronger coffee !!, Hootmix.

Have you thought about sizing, then powder coating before honing out the dies?? (just a thought).

All the charts i'v looked at N133 is right at IMR 3031, and at $40.00 per lb. (LGS) i thought i would give it a try. Also have a friend that shoots a 45-70 RB so it won't be wasted. I will post my...

Chrono UP Date!! MR. pertnear, sent me the internal parts from a "wounded Caldwell" and i spent some time changing different parts around and got the unit to working. Slipped off to the range, fired...

pertnear,( neat handle), Mr. Pert i'm a cowboy (retired), i have no skills for this type thing. Like i mentioned mine was made some where around 20/11, got it used in a trade and it has been great...

metricmonkey, my unit just started showing, 591,or 476 or just 3# readings, i turn it off then back on the numbers would not stop . I have to admit it has been a good unit , until it went crazy....

Hey Murphy, hope all's good w/ you. Did a lot of research found out the co. that made the boards for my (date on board 10/11) old unit was bought out by "SMITH & WESSON", to many rabbit holes. I like...

Called Caldwell and ask about a new board, gave the young feller the NO's on the board,(silence) "I'm not familiar with that old of model". Can i buy a new board for my unit? (silence), talking to...

Thank you marlinman93, i did measure my FP it measured out at .446. But i think the hammer spring was just to stout. The three "loaded" rounds looked good and i have, since firing those three rounds...

OK!!, couldn't stand it, loaded up 3 rounds 45-70 w/.312gr. cast, 26gr. of sr4759 (old stock) fixed the stock screw put stock on (it's cracked) taped the forearm on (blue painter's tape) and went to...

marlinman93, just came from shop. I think the screw has been replaced (a feller does with what he has), i'll replace it or dress it down.

Took everyone's advice and pulled the breech apart and...

marlinman93, thank you sound like a good place to start. What about the loading block spring, it really is hard to pull back?
Hootmix.

Fishoot thank you and i totally agree w/ you Mr. Taylor and everyone i'v delt with here have been nice & easy to give good advice.

Know about smoothing springs & heat. I have only handled one...

Hey JT, yes sir everything moves nice and free without slop or grinding. I just feel that the spring are "stout. The ejector throws the case out, you don't have to pull it out, but you have to pull...

First off i'm a lever guy of the 76's. BUT!!, having acquired a #5 RB someone sort of started refurbishing (sort of).
Been working on the action (someone) buffed it till no numbers or ID marks...

sv44, sent you a PM, and yes be glad to help.

coffee's ready, Hootmix.

Think i'v been pouring too close to the spout. I have a older Master Caster, but use it 95% of the time w/ handheld DC moulds, running @ 710- 725 degs. w/ a PID controller . I like 9-11 BHN, w/ a bit...

How far do most of you hold your mould below the pour spout, 3/8", 1/2", closer when using a bottom pour pot?
