    I have used 3F in the pan for 50 years with no problems. A friend of mine said he used 2F in damp weather when hunting because it didn't turn to slop . The British army primed muskets with whatever...

    Out of curiosity, what are "cowboy action" shooters all about? Did Hickok have some.body fine tune his 36's ? I doubt it and have not read otherwise. This whole business reminds of when I hitched...

    I might be missing something. I asked what kind of accuracy and the closest answer was "pretty good" . Is the object high velocity or'extreme accuracy'? I'm probably just a dumb redneck- or bubba-...

    This .223 conversion has been interesting. I have a Belgian folder chambered .257, in a pretty much straight case based on 25-20 SS at about 1.2 inches. I have been using 22R stuff I found, but...

    I would second Greg. I used to do the dark room, dull red, tried tempilac , but now generally just spin them and go for the military color. It works fine for me for reforming or resizing. With...

    Out of curiosity, what do your targets look like at that velocity?

    I have big problem with the BPI book on brass shells. If you believe it, the military would not have them. Also the reloaders that continued after the original powders were not available could not...

    Things must have changed a lot since the 70's. Now unless it is a Uberti or Pietta it is worthless and they need timed, arbors fixed, etc, etc.

    I've seen other posts where 32 gauge was recomended. However, 32 gauge is of a larger diameter. My Starline 50-70 goes .558 at the base and once fired 32 is .565, can't find an unfired case, must...

    thanks for that video.
    The harbor freight saw will cut clean enough that trimming is not needed to square it up, but I had trouble

    1873 50-70

    Has anyone tried putting a 50-70 springfield barrel on an 1873 action? I realize it would have to be shortened at the breech and rechambered, but how do the threads match up? I have an 1873 in 28...

    Go with Littlemachine shop. I put a 5" chuck on my 7x10 and the adapter plate is 5" diameter. You would need 5" round stock, some way to cut it square, and the 4" chuck is only rated for 3.15"...
