20 years ago I purchased the Gamo single stroke pneumatic target gun. Basement accurate and a decent trigger. They position it as a target gun. I see it now sold at pyramid air as the Air Venturi V10...

Sometimes when the face of the seal gets a bit “used” looking, one can just take it out and put it back in with the used end inward.

Generally very accurate except for a few that had barrels made in China as a failed outsourcing idea. These were in the T05 series range. I like the T01 guns. The trigger can be carefully adjusted to...

Ithaca Gunner, I see the well deserved praise for your HW. These are my favorites. You didn’t have luck with the Dianas I also see. Diana guns for the most part have excellent barrels, and most of my...

I have, or have had most of the HW platform guns except this newer style 50S. It is a different gun than the 50S from decades ago mentioned by another poster.The older gun is the same platform as the...

A new start is in order. I visited my gunsmith, and we were able to fit a new base spring into the vernier sight that came on this gun. The staff now has a very positive solid feel when upright....

I have the Miroku and the RCBS cowboy dies. I have been chasing accuracy on mine. Mine slugs close to .377. Using the .379 expander which is actually a bit under .378 didn’t give much grip on a...

Back at things again with this Miroku. I have been shooting the Lee 250 recently at the matches I go to as I have been frustrated with my other results. At the last shoot, I noticed that the rear...

I wanted one of those when they came out but never got one. It seemed as though it would be more fun than the 45-70. I have a couple Williams air gun sights that look quite similar. Nice gun.

Thanks for that. I did have promising results at 1245 muzzle velocity at 100 yards. I will try at 200, and maybe up or down a bit.

Thanks folks. Ive been playing around with ballistic charts and plugging in different ballistic coefficients just to get somewhat of an idea. It would seem that except for a very low initial...

I’ve posted on the single shot forum earlier about my Miroku 1885 high wall in 38-55. I am shooting some casual silhouette shoots at ranges out to 400 yards. I’m not using black powder yet, and my...

So, I got back out to the range with this gun and only shot at 50 yards getting some crono numbers. Of course that isn’t the final word on things, but getting a new gun/mold/powder, I like to have...

Once again not trying to make excuses. Lots of stuff like that goes on. One thing that people seldom know is that those UPS stores are private contractors and not ups employees. They ship exclusively...

Marlinman, my post wasn’t to exonerate the workers at ups or fedex for that matter. I have received packages with boot prints also. Workers are careless for sure, and the quality of the part time...

Retired from 42 years at UPS. Yes, people can get careless, but 90% of the damaged stuff is from the machinery. Imagine a conveyer belt 50 yards long and loaded with packages, and then something...

I bought an 8# jug of Herco over a year ago as everything was drying up. It is nice in a 44 special. I have been working on rifle loads since I have the 8#, and only have partial 1# cans of suitable...

Learning a bit more at a couple cold range sessions. Had the crono out very quickly before it rained. Another sunny day, other shooters were out, so I didn’t get to crono. It was breezy and cold. I...

Thanks Lotech. The later ones I believe from what I have read were like mine at .368X.376 or .377. My first sizer was .378, but I’ve since got a .379. I am going to concentrate on the 288gr mold I...

Thanks Chris. I did see many posts on TexasMac. Is he the one with a book also? Yep, I have a Lyman book and several others and see the other powders. I have 5744 and like it, but also less than a...

Another question Chris, as I research a bit more. I am retired now and have more time, hence getting back to this gun. Your link to Winchester seems to refer to the 2016 guns. Other postings I see...

I had never seen that Winchester posting and thought I had read 18 from most places, and thought I confirmed that. Today I ran some patches through and was trying to be as accurate as possible, and I...

I’m nearly certain that I checked it myself after also reading it posted in various places. I will check it again to be sure.

I think you are quite correct. My first attempts got bullets that were .375 in the center portion and .379 at base and front. Reading on this forum pointed to a too hot mold expanding slightly in the...

Back again. I took some time away from this gun in frustration as I had poor luck with accuracy in the fall and at shoots with my newly purchased mold. I didn’t really have proper powders and the...
