Seeing the pot has already been stirred i may as well have a go. I am anal about accuracy in my smokeless hunting rifles. If i cant get it to shoot a minimum of 1MOA it gets a new home or a new...

Zinc melts at about 787F. If you didnt get over 700 its not zinc.I find alot of garbage in WWs so could be that.

Has anyone here loaded the 450 Marlin with cast and BP? How well did it shoot?

I have the same scope on my 1885 highwall. I bought the fine elevation adjustment add on for that scope and that helped alot. I got it from Buffalo Arms. $58 U.S

Thanks Don. Appreciate the info.

I compress my ffg with a card wad over the powder and my expansion plug in my rcbs die. Not sure if this is right but its what i have. Can you over compress fg? I only compress what i need to get my...

Not sure why people come on here, when they clearly do not use or like subs, other than to piss somebody off! Let me make it clear that i would tamp a load of pig **** down the barrel if i thought it...

Has anyone used Fg in a 45-70? On Goex site they show that for the powder used on their data page. Reason i am asking is because i have a bunch of it i bought for fast draw blanks but a year ago i...

I have the same Uberti highwall and have had good accuracy shooting BP, Pryrodex Select and smokless loads using IMR 3031. The bullets i used were the lee HB 405 and the Lyman 535. Tried the Lee 500...

I agree the Rem Nickle brass is quite good. But the last 2 bags of Regular Rem brass i have had issues with. I found several brass in both bags that had off set flash holes and primer pockets that...

Just to clarify. You don't actually have to electrode weld the gap shut. The use of JB Weld epoxy works just fine and after its set up you will just have to file it down to smooth it out. Just...

Not sure what kinda projectile wad is being used here or what your using the blanks for or for that matter what kinda of BP your using.....Fg, FFg, FFFg, FFFFg. If your busting balloons at 20 feet Fg...

That is true but the shallow groove on that shallow groove 405 is narrow as well. in my shorter barrel double 45-70 Baikel i can use it without issue.

I have both 405 molds as well. However, i foundthe one with the shallower lube grooves was not well suied for long barrels due to lack of lube. I was getting leading in the last 4" of the barrel on...

Thanks all of you for the info. I am happy with the accuracy and power with the 45-70 at resonable hunting distances. As far as targets i doubt i would shoot much past 500 very often anyways. I guess...

lyman 535 postell shooting sillywets and some shooting out past 500 yds.

I have a Uberti 1885 Highwall in 45-70 with a 1-20 twist barrel. just wondering if i should rechamber it to 45-90 seeing that any loading data i have on the 45-90 shows that the test gun had a 1-20...

I have that same rifle and it shoots the 535 Postell well. I shoot it as cast using ww's which comes out at .459" and using IMR 3031 withloads at BP velocities. 36.5grns. It also likes the Lee 405HB...

Not sure sure. I will look into that.

Just bought one 2 weeks ago. Have not had a chance to break the barrels in before shooting cast out of it. It will chamber everything including my 535gr lyman postell. I purchased a sightmark red dot...

I just bought a new baikel 45-70 double rifle and i want to shoot cast boolitts out of it. It came with break in instructions but doesn't say if i can do the break in with cast or have to do it with...

I have one of these too. The weight is about the same. The rough nose is caused by the spru plate tearing rather than cutting. I modified one of these to a flat base and they ran about 409 - 411gr at...

If you go to C&R Wax Bullets web site they give you The bit sizes for making 209 primers fit your your cases. As far as just using regular large pistol primers you use an 1/8" bit for enlarging the...

I wouldn't use unique in it unless i was using a dacron filler in it. Unique is position sensitive and if you don't think so get out the chronograph and try it with your barrel down and brought up...

First thing you do is take the butt plate off and fill it with lead shot. It will bring the weight up to almost 12lbs. It will make a big difference in the recoil. Been there done that. As far as...
