Looking for an 1885 style action for cast bullet bench rest. Anyone have intel on the MVA single shot actions?

My mistake....measured the wrong spot on my rod, it is actually 17.5/1.

I succumbed to an unfired, C Sharps 40-65 with a long range tang sight and interchangeable aperture front sight at a local pawnshop. It had been there a couple of years ago, disappeared, and...

Traded 5 1/2 bricks of small rifle primers for 6 lbs of 4759 at a local show. Also picked up 5 lbs of FFG Goex for $40..neat thing about the 4759 is that the lot #s match an 8-pounder in my closet :p

I FF'd 10 cases last week from 8mm Lebel, using 12 gr of Unique under a full case of COW topped with a wax plug. The cases were annealed before loading, and none were lost. The second FF was with...

I,ve downloaded to 20% for my full length rifle, and it was still a tooth-rattler. Combination of the stock design and light weight. Lost interest after that. I enjoy my Beaumont more!

Cross posted to another site, did a search here but did not find a dupe...
Those of us with a Hornaday trimmer found out/know they have a proprietary shaft size requiring shell holders with a...

FYI is a crude, but effective front sight I made for my 1871; I am now able to keep in the black on an MR31 at 100 yards with a load of 35 gr. of 3031 under a 370 gr bullet. It was made from scrap...

Dutch, long time. Hey, is that front sight drifted out from the front? My '71 appears to be a one-piece, but the front blade is numbered to the rifle.

It was a NOE group but and they are now a stocking item.

I FINALLY got out for a brief .44 session last week. I loaded up 50 rounds of the 225 NOE bullet over 4.5 of Bullseye and 20 over 6.0 of Unique. The Bullseye load proved most accurate under the 240...

Sadly, not yet. Took a bit for me to order a .431 sizing die and I just loaded up a box. The bullets came out to .432 after sizing, about perfect for the throats. Have a match this weekend, will...

I recently acquired the Athlon Argos 6-30x 50mm objective, 30 mm scope with BDC reticle for use on my 1917 Winchester Mod Scope rifle I use for CBA competition. I use the higher powers for load...

Finally got to casting with my 4-cavity aluminum 432-224 mold, which I got for my Bulldog from the group buy. Up to now I had been stuck with 240s, which are a little heavy for this mighty-mite. To...

Range report: all 5 round groups fired at 15 yards over sand bags, all loads under Silver State 255 gr SWCL
8.5 Unique - Ave 888 fps, 63 ES, 25 SD, 1.7" group
9.0 Unique - Ave 945 fps, 18 ES, 8 SD...

Nice lookin' piece. Wonder if the front sight is tall enough for heavy loads.

Looks like it; I had to crank the rear sight down to the frame to get it sighted at 15 yards. Out of the box it shot...

No love for Penn Thunderheads? ;-)

Just like He and Elmer intended. I wonder how Elmer would have experimented with the New Model Super Blackhawk? Kinda looks good atop my 1955 edition. Saw this up at a gunshop in Renton, WA and it...

I procured an early Bridgeport awhile back after looking for a nice one for the last year. SN 248,xxx dates it in the area of 1974. This one was ANIB, with a faint drag line from the front frame pin...

Geez...no disrespect but I would have been on a hot call to Ruger for a replacement. Hope this works for you.

Good suggestions. The Aydt Schuetzen has such a severe drop to the buttstock that I need a fitted set of fore and aft holders to hold it at the proper angle for resting and cleaning. The completed...

I should have mentioned that I am a CBA/ASSRA member. I have, to no avail other than the usual mechanics tool boxes. Biggi in Germany had photos of cartridge bxes/carriers, but they do not use this...

A master millwright friend offered to build a range box for my Aydt Schuetzen; he's going to use a plank of 15-year seasoned black walnut with gorgeous figure. I want the box to be a complete...

Thanks for your time and effort, as well as ammo expenditures, for undertaking your well documented experiments. I have been searching for a SD load for my Bulldog, and you are pointing me in the...
