This thread is a bit dated but I thought I'd add my 2 cents worth anyway. Might help someone? I bought a Pedersoli 1885 highwall (45-70) from Buffalo arms. It was imported by Taylor's. Out of the...

Well Char-Gar we're all different. In your case I would say that you are Narcissistic and intolerant of others with differing opinions. But then I'm probably as wrong with that opinion as you were...

I'm having difficulty uploading the documents and there are peoples names on these documents that I don't want to show so I'm cutting and pasting.

This came from Turnbull

Robert: The screw size...

I didn't misunderstand because it was through email correspondence that Turnbull supplied the information. I have it on hard copy. They (Turnbull) gave me incorrect information. Marbles supplied me...

I appreciate the helpful intent of your post but at this stage of my life and for this situation I don't think I will go that route. I have done just that in years past; grabbed a book and educated...

Well I'll tell you why I'm complaining; I'm 71 and have dealt with American Standard screws all my life. Some on guns some on other things. I have many taps and dies and on an American gun I expect...

My original post did not say anything about Miroku quality of a finished product. Miroku may make the best darn firearms in the world for all I know? My consternation arose over the fact that...

Maybe this is common knowledge to everyone else but it news to me. I bought a Turnbull 1886 Winchester copy a while back. More recently I decided to put a tang sight on it. My eyes are old and the...

It was a lube problem. At least 95% lube problem.

Shot the gun yesterday for the first time. Loads were: 4759 1500fps
4198 1450fps

Thanks guys! The gun is a new reproduction (Turnbull). I will give 3031 a try. I'm curious, do you use hard cast bullets, jacket bullets, or something in the neighborhood of 20/1 Pb?

I know that I am way behind the curve here but however we cut it I need to ask a few questions regarding smokeless reloading. I recently picked up a Win. 1886 in 45-70. I plan on getting involved in...

The geometry of black powder itself varies by its own granulation size; Fg, FFFg, FFFFg, and so forth. Trying to measure black powder (or anything else) by its bulk is tricky. Black powder varies all...

(405 bullet over 55 [by volume,not weight] grains of 2f Goex black powder,with a wonder wad in between to maintain compression. )

I'm curious; there are no “universal standards” for...

Yes, 1X18 twist. Bore measures .450, groove measures .4585.

I currently have loads that are 1 grain apart, everything else the same, that I want to try at the longer distances. My intent is to try...

The bullet was chosen by me when I first got interested in BPCR some 12 years ago. I had an Pedersoli 1874 Sharps and I found that this bullet did quite well in that rifle. I won several matches...

Since I was investigating the issues I have with the Browning BPCR rifle I found that the rifling in the Browning is much different from the rifling in the Pedersoli. I'm not sure what this means...

Anybody have bore spec's for a Badger 45-70 barrel? I slugged mine and came up with .450 bore and .458 groove but I have been told that Badgers measure .460 groove.

I'm currently working with a...
