TOW - Track of the Wolf.
I see that one a lot. But I haven't figured this one out - think it has something to do with wads.

Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thank you, LandOwner! I'm new to reloading and it can be difficult knowing where to start. It can be confusing - there's quite a bit to know.
But thankfully I know how to learn and how to study a...

Flint - yeah, about an hour is right. When I head north into Washington I generally go up the Oregon side through Longview. Shoot? Hah! Haven't shot anything yet! Still collecting the parts and...

Flint - Thank you for the offer! I don't know if you'd call Hillsboro close, but it is closer than a lot of other places. And I do make it out your way now and then.
I'm just getting into BP and...

Where do you guys find the German caps these days? I see that the "Legends" are German - are there others? It appears Walmart is all out and nothing much is coming up on searches except for $50...

The 'new' rolling block showed up today and I'm a bit disappointed. It's a Pedersoli Remington Rolling block in fifty caliber.
First off, the seller said there were two little spots of rust in...

Looks like Liberty tree collectors is out of stock. Too bad. Maybe someone jumped on them since you posted?
The bullet barn has them, but not cheap, putting it mildly. But they do have them....

John - true, the fiddler must be paid. However, I don't have to hire the first, and most expensive, to come along. I've seen prices as high as $4/ea when Starline sold them for $1.15/each originally....

What I meant was that the 50 Alaskan was derived from the 348 win.
My only question about using the 348 is deciding where to cut it since the full length is into the necked down section.

I don't have any 348, so that's out. I think the cheapest I've found is the 50 Alaskan for a little over a buck a case. I could get twenty or thirty to hold me over.
cwtebay - Yeah, guess I said...

The 348 is listed as the parent cartridge. If the smaller diameter rim still works, then the 50 Alaskan could be the answer. How difficult is it to expand the narrower section up front?

Ooh man! You're making me jealous. What a collection! Wish you were my neighbor - you could jump the fence and shoot any time you want.
It appears the 50 Alaskan is pretty close in the important...

John Boy - it appears the 50-70 government from Rocky Mtn is $90 for 20 shells. $4.50 each. Ouch! But they don't say BACKORDERED

Hi Bad *** Wallace! A Sharps would have been nice, but this Remington showed up cheap, so now you know. I'm still watching for a Parker Hale Enfield or Whitworth - but they're a little more than I...

Thanks, pacomdiver. I'll give them a call. Do you have an email for them? All I find is the phone number.

Hi! I'm the *** here! Hello!
I'm pretty new to guns in general though I've had them over the years. I even put together a BP pistol kit in the early 80s, but never got a chance to shoot it -...
