Just wondering if any of y'all have ever tried rubbing some powdered moly on your paper patch after it was dried and ready to load. In theory I would think it might help going down the barrel....

What diameter and weight bullet is ideal for the Cimmeron Arms Quigley 45/120 rifle manufactured by Pedersoli I believe. Using BP of course. Need to get a boolit mold for it.

My 4.2 grain load shot 1150 fps. Primer strike showed some bulging around the pin mark but not really alarming. Primers weren't flat. Shot 50 with no issues. Loaded 59 with 3.5 and got 950 fps and...

Going through some of my reloads I did a few years ago I came across a load written on several boxes of bullets that said 4.2 grains. This is for a lead boolit of course. Seemed like a pretty high...

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
OK, I’ve read that because our modern brass is no longer formed the way as the old “balloon” style, that the 44/40 case won’t hold 40 grains anymore and that our new cases will only hold 34 or 35. I...
