I have been using them in 357 magnum loads for pistol and carbine for about a year now. Very happy with them, got a few bricks of them for what one brick of CCI would cost on Gunbroker.

I use TrailBoss for two loads in Lever Action Metallic Silhouette.
One in the 44WCF (44-40) only when weather conditions make it so that my usual load of Swiss 2F is a bad idea. This is for Pistol...

Since you're shooting low velocity with a mix of black powder and smokeless loads, I'd recommend you use DGL for everything.

For my smokeless powder firearms ED's Red. Home made, look it up......
For my black powder firearms , cartridge and muzzle stuffer, Moose Milk to clean and straight Ballistol as a lube.

Concerning the 44WCF (44-40) a case full of Reloder 7 with a 200-240gr cast bullet is a standard pressure load.

A New Original Henry Rifle or a Henry Big Boy?

Yes, this.
I have two of the Lyman/Ideal 45 model with heaters and a light dimmer. Like others have said it is a balancing act. Too much heat and the thin lube leaks. Too little heat and the extra...

Yes, Shooters World Buffalo Rifle is rebranded D060. Supposedly 5744 was originally D060 then at some point General Dynamics started supplying Accurate Powder with an equivalent.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yes, this. I have a 44WCF load that I can shoot until the barrel is very hot on my rifle. Basically a case full of Reloder 7 and a 30-1 alloy bullet. No leading in the bore, zero, nada , zilch with a...

For me, by volume. I must start with saying that I regularly shoot lever action silhouette using 44WCF and 357 Magnum black powder loads. I occasionally shoot my Winchester 1886 45-70 Gov't for fun...

I have no experience with Uberti 1873s in 45 Colt. After a few years of struggle I gave up on my 1892 Japchester in 45 Colt. The bore was .450, but the chamber was LARGE. I could thumb seat .460...

A guy owed me $50 and offered the rifle in lieu of the cash.
Forum: Leverguns
I have to agree. They look more like a BB or POP gun than an actual firearm.
I will add this. I have never seen one at a metallic silhouette match.
Forum: Leverguns
Yup. To at least a certain degree. The 1873 action is different than John Moses Browning designs, so I am guessing the chambers could be closer to spec. I owned an 1892 Japchester in 45 Colt and one...
