I’m not finding Sagebrush Farms on YouTube.
Any chance it’s a different name ?

Thanks !!

I score my scrounged up bars of solder with marks that have 0.05 pounds of tin between them.
That way if I want to improve fill-out I just dangle it up to the next line in my 10 pound pot to add...

I’m not at all convinced that it won’t chamber in a 32 S&W or 32 S&W Long revolver.
The diameter of this at the base is listed as 0.3425”.
That’s not much larger than some sloppy chambers I’ve...

I would be highly tempted by a Savage Axis for this cartridge, at least on a Black Friday type deal, simply as a repeating bunny-gun.
I would already own one in 327 if they made them.
I’ve been...

I believe Hogdon’s 70% rule is simply so a double charge overflows the case, even allowing for your boolit.

I work with pedestrian ramps and ADA rules a bit.
3” = 0.25’
0.25 rise / 5’ run = 5% slope
As stated above, 1” per foot or 8.33% is the limit.
5% is a good slope.

Notable however is the...

Thanks a LOT, SledMan.
Very nicely done.
Now I have NO reason to pass up all the cool old stuff I see. ��
I have cobbled stuff together for a 310 cadet.
I used an FCD for a 7.62 Mauser.

I was quite struck with the consistency of velocities of the first 45-70 load.

But I really like the idea !
Where do I send the M O to do a beta test ?

I think 1” might be a bit long.
It depends on the intended revolver.
A J frame 38 has a longer cylinder than a 32.
My notes show 1.588” max COAL for a 36-1 and 1.436” for a 31-1.

Cylinder length 16-4 including rim = 1.608
That’s what mine measures anyway.

Colt Huntsman ?[smilie=l:
My Dad has a Colt Huntsman - first gun I ever shot.

Please post more.
The history is fascinating.
There’s also a lot of history in the other target rifles, like the 44s & later the 38s & 32s.

I was stopped by not being logged in.
I’m not opposed to signing up, I just don’t have the time right now.

Hey Froggie,
How about a tutorial (maybe a separate thread) on that FINE tool set you have there, or at least a photo-tour ?

Russ

Thanks for the tips.
I’m ready to cast with it , but Thursday & Friday are my best shots timewise.
Thursday is forecast for single digits & Friday for -9F. :shock:
Ya gotta really like casting...

Thanks for the load.
That’s just what I want.

An eBay find - a Lee SIX cavity mold for the Tumble Lube 32 caliber 85 grain wadcutter.
NOS !
Under $34 shipped !
Anyone have any good/bad experiences with this boolit ?
Any favored loads ?

I believe at least some of the parts kits are from Police Departments making them "safe" (on orders from the politicians) so they can dispose of them & clear out their evidence room.

OK, there WAS one on GB.
It sold for $512.

Did I miss this introduction?
I even see one on GB.
3 3/4" barrel, birdshead grip.
32 S&W to 327 Fed Mag in an old-west-ish pocket rocket.
Kinda cool.
List price is $47 less than the...

Many , many designs were never produced, but still very interesting.
These are from the seldom-seen "Experimental Winchester" book by George Madis

Please keep us updated on your results, but spending time here quickly made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to even think of "only 1 mold"

Not a handgun but....
I was visiting a friend & we saw a pigeon fly into his barn.
He sent his boy to get his Winchester 9422 Magnum.
The kid gave it to me saying "it's all set"

I loved my visit a couple of years ago.
Be sure to check the menu for the lunchroom - I had steak with all for under $10!
