That took a while, You are correct I should have said with a liner and good toggles I would be comfortable shooting smokeless loads as the barrel is more the consideration than the toggle link. Boy...

I have a 73 made in 1885 myself. I really like the added velocity I get with the 38wcf BP loads, 1425 to 1450 with a 24" barrel. If you find one with a sewer pipe barrel ic could have a liner...

I will second this, Redding Profile Crimp dies are well worth the cost with 44wcf and 38wcf. I also use one with a very tight chambered Ruger Old Model 41 mag.

My Father passed in 2008, reading your post strikes a feeling with me as your dads story is so similar to my fathers. His father passed when he was 14 also, this was in 42 the war was on and the...

I guess the applicator restrictions are different in other places, I can buy Tordon at the local hardware. I don't think I would want a tree next to my house but some may.

It's a Bradford Pear (nauseous weed here) Cut it down and paint the stump with Tordon.

If you can find a Marlin 94, it will make a nice pair. Almost everyone that I know with 41 mag experience thinks highly of it so I don't think Cult following is the proper term, Enlightened group...

Has anyone ever measured how much velocity one obtains per grain and then see how much affect this will have on vertical strings?

I Have never met anyone with 41 mag experience that didn't like them. I started with a Marlin 94 in 41 mag then added a OM Blackhawk 4.75 (4 digit serial number), as of now this is my favorite wheel...

This is all good advice, I would add stay away from anything petroleum based. Petroleum seems to make a tar that is hard to clean off and holds moisture. I think this is where the hard to clean and...

I would load a fired case without resizing so long as there is not a danger of the boolit sliding off the powder and causing a gap. What is the bore diameter? If the boolit is soft and enters the...

When loading for a single shot I really don't need dies. I use a homemade compression die and set the Boolit on the powder in no case do I press the boolit with a seating die. As far as wads some...

There is a lot of good information in an old thread by w30wcf, its about black powder but some still applies. Also you should look into black, it's not so bad once you are set up to clean the brass....
