    Thank you.

    All that info is very helpful, folks. I appreciate it.

    Now, the next question is where/how is the best option to sell the box for my friend. I believe ease of sale will be more...

    That was my initial thought as well. I've never had any interest in collecting vintage ammo, so I've never bothered to learn about it or its packaging. Now, I can say with fair confidence that this...

    The rifle is not in great shape. Broken at the wrist and nearly black with grime. Bore is probably plugged with dirt. I didn't get a good look at stamps or anything, so I'm not sure quite what...

    There do not appear to be extractor marks on Amy of the brass, so perhaps they are in fact "new" original....

    ID .45 Gov't ammo - original or repro?

    I helped a friend of mine go through some of his late father's assorted things today, and they have a (broken) Trapdoor with this box of ammo. The deceased man was a rabid collector of all sorts of...

    FWIW, I use 24g of 4198 with the 400g Lyman Snover bullet in CPA .40-65. I get about 2 1/2" at 200yds. I haven't tried any filler, but that's a group that makes me happy enough to stop worrying and...

    I'm pretty new to shotguns, and the Greeners have really grabbed my attention. I really don't know why, but they have. OP, yours looks just like what I'd like. Very nice gun! Are the barrles damascus...

    I've got a Pedersoli Sharps in .45-70 and a CPA Silhouette (a Stevens 44 1/2 reproduction) in .40-65. The .40-65 certainly has less recoil and is a little easier to shoot in that regard. But given...

    Would love to see some pics of it. I've only seen them in catalog images - not anyone's real-life gun. Being a bit of an Anglo-phile, the idea of a classic British stalking rifle in .303 is really...

  11. WTS WTS: Ruger 10/22 thumbhole laminate stock

    Thumbole style, varminter for-end. Gray color. I believe this was likely a factory second, as there are some areas in the molded/cutout areas under the grip and on the right side of the butt that...

    WTS--Range brass - .308w & .45acp

    Once fired, mixed headstamp brass. Has not been de-primed or cleaned. I counted these out by 200pc lots, then threw a few extras in each in case I mis-counted. So, there is almost certainly more here...

    That's great! I'm just getting into shotguns and wondering what took me so long. I've had autos, O/U's, and used a few pumps, and I've never really connected with them, but shooting with a good...

    Mine is/was a Winchester model 250 lever .22 when I was 12. I still have it, but admittedly don't shoot it much. Shot it a lot over my childhood, but I haven't touched it since I got my Stevens 418....

    What is your budget? Kiblerslongrifles.com is probably the best kit in the business. Fully cut out by CNC with Green Mountain barrels. Significantly easier to assemble than any of the other high-end...

    A beautiful rifle! I've got a CPA Silhouette with a 30" oct-to-round heavy barrel in .40-65, and I've been thinking of a .38-55 sporter weight and/or a .22lr. Please tell us how it shoots, especially...

    I got my formers from Star & Bullock (apparently, they relocated from Deadwood to Florida!), but his video also did not use a wad for RB's. He said to dip them in melted lube, just like with conical....

    I've done just a handful paper cartridges so far, only using a homemade former. But I just bought a similar set of .44 and .36 formers. My biggest issue the first time was that I put in a lubed felt...

    I've shot mostly 3f GOEX in my .45-70 Sharps, mostly because I had a fair bit and wanted to see if I could get good enough groups to only need to buy 1 kind of powder for all my BP guns (I do more...

    It feels just wrong to shoot smokeless in my Sharps. I know that's snobby, but it does. However, I don't have any such nausea when shooting smokeless on my CPA Stevens. Maybe because the Stevens 44...

    Ok, the extra pressure from CoW is new info to me, but it does make sense. I'll try some extra wads, and if that doesn't get me where I want, then I'll try the rice Krispy idea.

    A follow-up question. Given that an air gap between powder and boolit is a bad thing, how would dacron/poly or dryer lint work? Those are so fluffy as to seem like they would mostly be air, so I...
  25. Case filler with cream of wheat or extra wads?

    My Pedersoli Sharps .45-70 seems to like 62g of OE 3f under a BACO Money bullet. That leaves a decent amount of case left to fill if I want to set the bullet with a minimal amount of freebore (I...
