Trying to upload a bore scope picture so you can see what I am talking about

Thanks. It's a first Model Winchester Hotchkiss. I generally use unique or 5774 loads in my blackpowder cartridge rifles. As suggested I would only shoot gallery type loads in this one. I don't...

So I have a winchester hotchkiss with some chamber rust/corrosion. I am thinking of honing it to clean it up. Brush research has 45 colt chamber hones, I know dimensions differ, but would this work...

Overlooked the set screw!!! Thanks!

I just starting casting with my first lyman mold -the sprue plate is loose so that it wobbles-if I tighten the screw-it works loose again after a few casts- How can I adjust this so it stays put? ...

Thanks- I'm beginning to suspect that the shank is indeed way undersized and it's a bad mold.

The shank is about .376-78 if that helps . Thanks ! And checking the box, they are in fact Hornady gas checks.

Hi. I'm casting the Lee 310 grain 44 GC. I have lyman 44 cal gas checks. I am trying to seat them using a Lee .430 sizer. I run the boolits through forwards or backwards, but the checks don't...

Iam going to be casting for my .41 swiss (smokeless powder- about 1400 FPS 320 grain boolit) using wheel weights-I have some lead shot lying about that I have no use for-can I add this to the wws at...

Here's the musket on top. The rifle under it is a Ballard .46 rimfire "kentucky" military rifle.

Not a great picture, but heres the carbine.

Thanks again for your help. My cases are Dixie and some old CCC (Canadian cartridge Co.?). Not sure if the CCC ones are balloon head or not so I might avoid using those.

I'm lucky enough to have...

Thanks to everyone for your help. I was looking to go BP substitute because of pressure concerns. If I can indeed shoot reduced smokeless loads in the rolling blocks I suppose I need a case filler...

I am going to start loading 50-70 gvt for my NY militia remington rolling block carbine and rifle. I want to use a BP substitute and keep the smoke down as I want to shoot this cartridge in my...
