I would think I may be able to get an older tube for the 454 and change it out or at least I would hope so. The 38/357 might be another issue
Forum: Gas Checks
I honestly have no idea, or how to check. I guess the next time I get some will ask. I do know some companies sell rifle bullets with the gas checks already on them. i will get some of them for...
Forum: Gas Checks
so how do you get the gas checks to stay on the bullets? I do know you can buy them for both 38/357 and for the 45 colt/454 casull and 45-70 bullets
Forum: Leverguns
they must have changed the way they do things, I have a new Rossi 92 stainless in 454 and it does not have that option. I wish that it did

Does anyone know of someone converting ROSSI R 92 magazine tubes, to be like Henry mag tubes. I grew up on Winchester and Marlin rifles, and while I always had to unload, cycling rounds thru...

Have not checked lately, but think I have about 20 of the leverution bullets.

My 45-70 dies are the full length dies for regular size cases. How do you like shooting the shorter cases, do they have less recoil?
Forum: Leverguns
I have some of those bullets, but do not have the seating die for loading those. My guess is the sizing die and case mouth die are the same as regular, just a matter of adjusting the case mouth...

I have reloaded for a number of years, and got into reloading back in 1974 when stationed in Kodiak, Alaska, mainly cause was hard to get ammo in some calibers.

I have a lead melting pot, it is electric, and my brother gave me a mold for 405 grain bullet. I also purchased molds for 45 acp and 9 mm bullet molds. But as of this point have not...

I am not using black powder, just smokeless powder. The loads I have already loaded, when stationed in Kodiak, ALASKA, in 1983 are still good, loaded 350 grain Hornady jackated bullet

right now I have not made or purchased cast bullets, only have Hornady 300 and 350 grain bullets. Those I have loaded in the past and not used gas checks.

Forum: Gas Checks
got a question guys, I am just starting to load 45-70 cast lead bullets. How necessary is it to use gas checks.

But I do know that cartridge length in Marlin and Marlin clones is 2.500 inches
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I am considering the purchase of a 1886 in either 45-70 or 45-90. I do handload, so loads would not be a problem, and ya'll say in a pinch could fire 45-70 rounds in a 45-90 rifle.
I am...

I would like to put my two cents worth in here. Garrett, and two or three other companies are making custom ammo for 45-70 that is safe in Marlin/Henry/ROSSI R 95, and any other clones of...

I thought about that, and I have been a long time fan of 45-70. In the past have owned three Marlins, including the guide gun, two other Henry's including the new all weather with 18.5...

Has anyone tried these new guns from Rossi. They are using walnut stocks and forearms, and look so much like a Marlin/Ruglin/Henry woud have to mic them out to tell the difference

Forum: Leverguns
I have a chance to get the deluxe version of their 1886 with the 26 inch octagon barrel, at a fair price, do any of you have any experience with that model?
