Tall - Yes you are correct, 1903 model, it does have the VP stamping.

I got a 1906 vintage commercial Colt 1892 model, but it has a broken leaf spring on the 2nd cylinder bolt stop. Appears to be a common problem looking online, but looks like NOS parts can be found,...

I have just joined the .41 Long Colt funny farm, and am debating about the .38 spl brass route, or something else. Can't find any Starline brass at the moment, even at crazy prices. Message me if...

I've heard another more likely story of why the quit making them....conversion cylinders. The story is they didn't want the liability of someone skirting the law to have a fixed cartridge gun. ...

Krist makes nice conversions cylinders for cap and ball, and they have one version with a loading gate option. You have to "cut" the feed channel in the right side of the frame, or they will do it...

The venerable 450229 (hollow base) mold drops near perfect .454 for me out of pure lead. I have to size then down to about .451 to try and get them in most of my cap and ball revolvers. Great...

I still like the Lee 90gr SWC, tumble lube bullet, in .314" Been working great for me. You can sometimes find original Winchester .32-20 molds online, have one, but haven't used it yet. Looks...

I have been running Titegroup in my .32-20s lately, what ever the manual says, don't recall the load. Just be really careful re-sizing the cases, they are paper thin. Also only flare the mouths the...

I may start down this path myself soon. Never reloaded for the round, but found a decent buy on some brass....so why not!

I'm pondering cast in the 7mm Rem Mag as well. With the shortage in powders I was hoping to search on here, but didn't find squat. I found this thread by going page by page. Love to hear more...

An old thread, but I also suggest you go search out a 1957 or 1958 vintage Lyman reloading manual. Now you got some good stuff going on, for just about all the classic molds. Some powders in there...

An old thread, but who is shooting CBs in commercial 8x57 rifles? I have shot lots of CBs in my military rifles, and can seat the 175 Lee out and it looks "good" near the max OAL number.

I...

Just got an H&G 76, which is 8mm. Great looking but no handles, bummed the slot is too small for Lyman handles. The slot measures .250" so I'll gen up an "adapter" and see how it works.

As to buying, MidwayUSA puts them on sell often, so just keep looking. Casting is a good route, and I'm so glad I swapped over to a Lee bottom pour pot ages ago.

I was shocked to find a local...

If CVA had made the Bobcat in .45, that would be a good choice.

Do what you like, but where will you ever get another one?

An old post, but this bullet was listed in Lyman Cap and ball data for use in the .36 caliber guns. Always wanted to try it, but never found a mold.

Another trick I have done is to take some thin styrene used in scratch building railroad models, say .010" thick. I cut a thin strip and bend it into a V, and glue it on to the front sight to raise...

iammarkjones - what rifle are you shooting them in? At .460" that sounds like an original Trapdoor?

Might work, one of the old practice rounds from back in the day was just a round ball seated...

All defective, send them to me for proper/humane disposal!

Looking real good!

Geargnasher -

Yes, please post a picture or two.

What about upgrading a little and using the thicker waxed paper used in quart size milk cartons?
Blackpowder community likes that as...

This is an interesting thread, as I was just thinking along similar lines last night.

What got me to thinking of the card stock was they way it is often used in loading black powder cartridges....

9mm Makarov, only because I had to make cases from the 9mm Para for a while until brass came on the market
