When I was 12 I bought a Marlin 93 half round half octagon in 32-40 from a general store in a very small town. $15 with a box of ammo. Wish I had it back.

I have a few thousand Remington 22 Specials, same round as a 22 WRF, I bought them for $3.50 a brick in 1972 when our PX ordered them by mistake, I have some loose ones I will measure.

I use molten lead in a shallow pan on a hot plate. The temp is set with a PID and lead level to the depth you want heated. Hold a test case in your fingers and dip the neck and shoulder. It should...

I use the hot lead hot dip method, depth of lead controls how much is heated, and PID sets the exact temp of the, a consistent count controls how long.

When you get hit by a bus it doesn’t matter what shape it is or how fast it is going. Shot placement is most important.

I got an old 1890 Winchester when I was 15, it was expensive to shoot in 1965 but I love that gun. I shot a few deer with it and my father shot an elk with it next to the barn one morning. I had the...

Slug your bore, mine is .434 it presents some problems.

I have a Rossi with a .434 bore, my old 429244 drops at .433 so I coated some with spray epoxy and they came out .4355 and they would chamber and shot well. See $10 coating post in the coated bullet...

I installed a Williams Foolproof and solved my sight in problems. Shoots ok with jacketed 240 Bullets, I found some big cast bullets, will shoot them unsized and see what happens. Thanks all for you...

Thanks, pulled the Lyman off my 444 and it is built for a Winchester and the holes are lower on the receiver than my friends Williams 94/36. I am trying to find a Williams but everybody is out of...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Can someone tell me if the hole spacing and pattern is the same for Williams receiver sights, and Lyman receiver sights on a Marlin 94/ 36?
Forum: Leverguns
I shot it again today, the front sight has to be too far to the right to work with the peep in safety hole. I am looking for a real receiver sight to drill and tap to the side. Will by or trade my...

I will be looking for a .434 mold and sizer not sure I will shoot it enough but not a lot of options , jury is out on jacketed bullets at this point.
Forum: Leverguns
Used a combo of center punch creators and a .006 shim, might be snug enough to test for accuracy. May be looking for a mold and sizer soon. ThNks all
Forum: Leverguns
I need to get the front sight to hold still before group testing. I really shoot jacketed bullets but will try them, just have shot lead but my 429421 is too long and too skinny.
Forum: Leverguns
Bore slugged, 433.5 with both calipers and mic. Tried one beer can shim will take at Least two shims maybe more. May drill and tap the sight.
