5744 has proven to be Not sensitive to a lower filled case...but many have found that it also does not need a filler i.e fluff if that helps
Happy New Year

I don't post often, but read almost everything here, so,The SAMMI organization is coming out with the specs for the 8.6BLK in a month or so, and they are "supposed" to be regulating the twist at 1:5....

Price is a bit high, but not unreasonable. I have three of them (10ga,12ga,20ga)and love them a lot. Very well made for their era.The 20ga has fully rifled barrels that I machined to fit the last for...

Well, I've got some more reading to do, but thats a good thing instead of buying the rifle, and not being happy with it.

Regards all, and Merry Christmas

Good points all, I do not know the twist rate, but will attempt to find out. The hand loaded 32-40 loads that I make are all under 1700 fps, but that is more in the case of powder I am using which is...

Guys and ladies, I am mulling over the purchase of a nicely built Roller in 30-30, and know from my other single shot (32-40) that ranges over 200 lean towards a heavier round..What you say any of...

On my win of the Winchester, they only charged me $35 dollars which I was ok with, and it was a phone bid. So I was please with this as it was my first time biding on anything on line.

I meant to tell you that this rifle and other items have been purchased via live on-line auctions..I've notice the prices are in some case 40+ percent lower. My favorite Rifle is coming up in a few...

Thanks for the tip, I have fire formed brass before with success, but I'd rather not. I saw his post, but also bought some from Grafs and Sons which should be here soon.

So, I bought a 1885 Hi Wall in 32-40....now trying to assemble all that goes with it in this drought of molds/bullets/brass/etc..This is the first time in the revolutions taken place over the last 20...

I am in need of either cast boolets of .321-323 diameter and weighing 180-210 grains. Also a mold for any of the for mentioned boolets....Starting to shoot 32-40

Thanks all!!

I am going to make one more attempt here in the East, it is the York Penn show I think at the end of June. One of the vendors said that because of its location attracts sellers/vendors from NY, Del,...

I am testing the water here. I have a as new Pedersoli Remington Rolling block Long Range Creedmore style like this one...

Having just left Colorado 2+ years ago, I am afraid Im sunk. Went to my second show near Baltimore this morning, and honestly have seen many better shows put on at the local Legion hall.....Im...

Exactly Marlinman93, I may not gewt there, but then the hunt is partly the fun anyway. The most dismal thing I am finding is the lack of places to shoot except private clubs with waiting lists, and...

After much more reading today, I am leaning towards going up a few notches in price so that I can get better use out of the rifle Standing/Benchrest...am only getting older at 76 ,my true time is...

Well put valuable information...just starting to pay attention to the black powder-smokeless area and what can or not handle pressures...ad to that there is a fair amount of conflicting information...

.30 caliber such as? My reason for asking is that I have not seen anyone mention the values of a .30 at 200 yards or less..

I concur with your analysis as that has been my approach for a while now when looking at used rifles. Most of mine have not been in the "collector" arena ,but unique to my interests....

All good points, and had considered some as well...Since at my age I am no longer really interested in a "collector" only rifle, This one is not so high yet to pass on cuz of intrinsic values, but...

I have found a nice single shot 1885 low wall in 32WCF. However, it does have a rather poor bore if I want to get serious at single shot , then I am looking at total barrel or liner. Your thoughts...

Im unable to post photos here as my camera/phone does not work very well....maybe ab operator problem..So, I will email them to you if you pm me

Merry Christmas all!! As most of you can see, I don't post much..just enjoy the reading you all provide. I do have in my possession a 20 gauge double rifle built by my friend and gunsmith the late...

Any of you folks played with sub sonic loads in a 260 Remington? I was thinking of trying a few, but had not done it before (I am a 577NE double guy) so wanted to ask the Wizards first. I have a...

I have tried them as well with some success, but nothing like my Hollis which has very very l lite rifle...Hollis called it "invisible Rifling".
