I got hold of an M94 Winchester in .32 Special at a great price, that was made in 1941. I seemed like a good idea to make it my .25/35.
I got a 1:10" twist tube and put it on the rifle and cut it to...

FWIW-I have several leverguns, and the all have irons. And when I buy another, the buckhorn comes off "toot sweet."
My M71 has a Williams receiver-sight with an ivory-beaded front. All my leverguns...

I have two R92s and the are a real "hoot to shoot."
one of mine is a .256 WinMag with a 21" round barrel, and 1/2-magazine. it has a Lyman tang-sight.
It also has a shotgun-style butt, with a thin...

I bought a Rossi (Braztech) but it's too snowey, muddy to take out, yet.
That has given me time to do what I feel is good to it.
Mine is an R92 .44 Mag Trapper's model, and I shortened the magazine...
I load my Colt Cobra with either 148 WC or 158SWC with 2.3-3.0 gr of Red Dot.
My .45 M1911 with 230gr RN, .45 Colt 3 1/2" SAA with 255gr SWC, and .44 Special 240gr SWC in a Ruger 4 5/8" Flattop are...

Kevin has the right idea. I MAY try that. When I cast, it's usually two days runnin'. This weekend, I sat down for both days, for about 8hours each, and I don't think I got 2000 for the entire...

I've had my share of probs with the little carbine. Mine is a 4 5/8" Ruger Blackhawk. Most of the time, I've been using the Lee 113grRNGC "soupcan."
I see you, Finster, use semi-wadcutters, and...
I have several Blackhawks, and prefer the 4 5/8" version. I have a .41 Mag, a .30 Carbine, and now a Lipsey Flattop .44 Spl. Too bad, but the .44 is a 5 1/2", all I could get at the time. I wish I...

The one very outstanding feature I noticed about them when I lived there, was that I could eat them in a cold sandwich.
I've eaten enough Mulies to know that the taste of tallow stops me from eating...
I said I use the same boolit, I meant as Derek. My Flattop is using the 240gr Keith-type semi-wadcutter sized .430 and powder-coated. (mine are also Ford-blue, lol) My load is 6.1gr of Herco, but I...
I have to agree. That is an awsum pistol.
Mine is a 5 1/2" (I wish it was a 4 5/8") and it shoots like a house-afire.
I use the same boolit, but have tried many different powders. I am still trying...

This is a rimmed case, so you don't HAVE to jam a bullet, it you don't care to.
The fireformed capacity is very close to the .257 Improved Roberts, so any .257 charge that will fit into the case...

I use a 6-holer, and couldn't be happier.
I run bunches through my Tanfoglio Limited with the usual alloy being LYMAN #2, with BAC for lube.

Hawkeye- Yes , it is true. They do charge. Last week, I was charged $45 by Oehler.
I am happy to say it wasn't me that did it. I had a new screen and diffuser in the kit, because I'd done it before....
I've tried all of the powders that have been listed, in my Tanfoglio Limited, and most do quite well.
My favorite is Green Dot, and I use the Lee 175gr TC, sized .403".
I use 5.6gr @1.20"OAL w/WSP...
I was trying some loads with .406" (as cast) Lee 175 TC boolits.
They would feed just fine, and usually seat in the chamber. I did have to seat them a little shorter than some of the smaller-sized ...

I had a couple BB molds. A little "kiss" in each mold with a stone in a Dremel-tool and I no-longer had a problem...nor a BB mold.

Did you know that a golf club is tapered on the inside?
Just push a newly-cast boolet into it until it stops, then cut it off just before the tight spot. then go back toward the larger end for 2...

I've used a bunch of Tula LR and LRM primers is hunting, varmint and 500m target rifles. The only misfires I've gotten were if I didn't seat them correctly. Magnum seems to mean harder cups rather...
