This gentleman (Mark from The Cinnabar) does a very good job of covering Winchester barrel materials using vintage barrels and Rockwell hardness tester.

I watched the video and it does look bad down towards the chamber.

I’ve been shooting Marlin 92’s chambered for 32 Colt for about 6 or 8 years.

I'm not sure if who it was (Mike Venturino i belive) spoke to a sudden loss of accuracy in a Sharps of his that sounds eerily like yours.
He rendered the issue down to a broken firing pin.

It’s not that hard.
All you have to do is load it jus like a muzzleloader.
Put an empty primed case in the chamber, pour the intended powder charge down the barrel, seat the desired number of...

I traded into a Canadian centennial model exactly like that one 8 or ten years ago and I will share it is the most accurate 30/30 I have ever fired.

Your Colt New Navy appears to be in fine condition.
The fire blue screws and trigger really set it off visually.
If you get the time, let us know how the reformed 38 special cases work for you.
Like I said (accuracy wise) my luck with Starline brass in 41 Colt hasn’t been all that good so far with the loads...

Is the Hornady 30-30 brass shorter than standard 30-30 brass?
I know they use short brass in some of their lever ammo so their cartridge overall length won’t be too long to feed longer gummy...

I’ve heard of no issues with PPU 30-30 ammo but that’s not to say there’s not a bad batch out there somewhere.
That said, as you probably already have surmised, either the ammo (or the rifles...
