    I buy a fair bit of shotgun ammo. Even now I can’t load it as cheap or good as I can buy it and I’d rather spend my reloading room time loading or casting something I enjoy. I rotate my stock of...

    John-
    Breech seating is not an option with this rifle as the chamber and leade is actually pretty tight based on my trial and error fitting observations. The “tapered” designs I’m seeing mostly have...

    An original 1886 in 45-90 generally has more collector interest than one chambered for the 45-70. For a shooter I’d prefer the 45-70 but I have 45-90 brass on the shelf.

    Gun has very little collector value in today’s market, it’s a shooter. OTOH it’s hard to find a 25-20 1892 with a decent bore. Take a hard look at the breech end for a liner. I have a shooter 1892 in...

    I stop buying when panic buying starts. If someone wants to buy at those prices they need ammo worse than I. I can shoot all I want; this ain’t my first rodeo.

    Is it gas checked? Don’t want to use a GC unless necessary. Accurate 32190D appears to be a FP version of your Saeco.

    Hmmmm...I’ve been perusing Tom’s site and his 32190D looks good.

  14. Winchester Single Shot in 32-40-Tapered Boolit?

    I know, it’s been a couple of years since I dropped by. I’ll try to catch up as I can but it’s been a pretty wild ride.
    The reason I’ve dropped by is I have a very intriguing rifle, a 1907 vintage...

    Have you handled S&W's AR10 variant (M&P10)? It feels quite a bit lighter and better balanced than other AR10 variants but I may be wrong. It feels more like an AR15 to me. According to their site...

    Just realized this round may require a redesigned J-word for the masses desiring a hunting load. Most .338 J-words are designed for performance at much higher velocities.

    Should have your rifle back soon. A little late to the party but I was going to suggest finding an 1894 in 38-55. Only downside is it would probably need a mould that drops .380 boolits. I was going...
