Good morning
Use a fired cartridge before resizing to discover what is the largest diameter cast to use. If a .312 or larger cast will slip fit into the fired brass you have a real good idea how...

Back many years there was a large croc out on the Amazon that started on children. 12 gauge slugs would not penetrate the neck armor at less than 3 feet.
On our time north back around 1990 got to...

Go to the hardware and get yourself some "O" rings.
I use these on my "cobbled" 40-70 brass to hold the rim solid on the breach face.

Good on you !
I look at that same place monthly. I think that Roller was #231...
Well anyway I was looking for a woods rifle so ruled out that roller due to the heavy barrel for a 32 WCF. But...

That idea of a 90 grain cartridge has alot of merit. The 45-90 is a powerhouse. We have one sort-off. Throated the chamber of one of our 45-70 Roller's so we could long seat and load 85 grains of...

I rub the stocks with warmed linseed oil. Bought a can at a yardsale 50 years ago and it is still serving well. Does not take much at all. Not a "soaking".
That simple process was used for many...

Nice looking hand cannon there ! Those grips really set of the combination.
Shot steel critters with a 7TCU in 10"and 14"and DW in revolvers back in the early 80's. Been liking the old "Cougar"...

Interesting ...Academy sells the Ruger Ranch Rifle but that is the only .223 on the website.

Aggressive Positive ejection vs what reloaders want. Sure pops up alot.

Bought our 1st DW .357 in 78 in Chatanooga, TN. Fired at least 2000 of rounds through it using 180 grain GC WW slugs pushed with 296 ( I will not post that load) through a 10" barrel steel critter...

How often have you read of a Blakie being shot coming up the ladder ?
I know of once. And any 240-265 grain 44 slug would have done that misdirected bear back down real fast. If I remember right...

That is an interesting name for a shop !

John Browning turned a 1892 Winchester into a full auto that then evolved into the Colt "potato digger" Machinegun as used in Cuba. So well before 1898.
Reportedly the 1892 would fire the hole tube...

As we have several 43 Rollers, I like the fine way you put that one together. Well done !

Well written uscra112 !
Happens with all firearms as they get "moved, bought out, and restarted".

First year we had our 1st 43 Spanish Roller took it to a pastor friend's home near Decatur, Ill-nois. We went out to a relative's farm to do some shooting. There was a large cotton wood tree along...

We have a BFR 475. We run ours pretty close to what you are doing. Just like a 45-70 on BP.... a 400 grain FN chugging along over 1100 fps sorts things out real fast. Big, slow and soft. Fine...

Good morning and Congratulations to your hunting buddy !
Now you need to get that handgun lined up on your corn cruncher. Are you equipped with a 350 handgun ?

What do you plan on hunting / shooting ?
Load a basic FN type slug cast of soft mix and a .452 slug will make a nice hole through most any critter.
If we remember the old woods rifles like the...

Those old Williams .22 peep sights that mounted with the left side bar make an easy way to have a receiver sight.
Mount it to the left rear of the removable cover as low as possible. If I get a...

Thank You ! Always good to read when backorders are getting met.

Good morning Marco
Thanks to God for sending one of His tasty critters to feed you and loved ones another season.
Yes it is a young mans venture. Takes alot of determination to keep the muscles...

With inflation as it is from our great minded leaders that is still a reasonable buy price. Bought our's years back and I could afford it still.

Back to post (Gobeyond) #62.... Using 3F BP in old cartridge rifles..
Yes we do in our house. But I can only write about using Goex Brand. Always remember no "other name brand" BP is the same. Some...

Was a test range given ? Nice group if fired at 50 yards !
