Cases can split. Accuracy poor. I had a ruger single six with both cylinders and tried 22lr in the 22wmr. Didn't bother again.

Coming over to Knob Creek next week with 3 shooting mates.
Been over several times since 2003.
We always visit the range after the mg shoot and rent guns and plan on doing the same this time.
Are...

Thanks for pertinent observations re strengths of these actions!
We have "long" range pistol calibre rifle events here in the UK.
100/200/300.
Marlins in 357 and 44 are used - 357 being better due...

I have a 1894 and both saeco moulds.
409 is a 4 cavity 195gn tc and the 410 is a 2 cavity 220 gn rnfp.
The 409 works flawlessly thru the action and is pretty accurate.
The 410 seems to shoot...

Yes it is a full size action. As you say getting a barrel from Numrich is out.
I can get a blank here and get it fitted. Its a licensable item here!
Its just the extractor side of it that bothers...

I have a couple of rolling blocks in 43 Egyptian.
How feasible is it to rebarrel one into 357 maximum?
I guess the problem area would be the extractor?

On a whim I got a MP moulds brass hbwc mould - a thing of beauty!
Here in the UK Marlins are used for paper punching out to 50 yards.
We have no need for loads for felling critters.
I use 200 and...

I am watching this thread with interest.
Haven't been on here in years but plan on resurrecting slug casting for paper targets.
Tried Lee/Lyman with mediocre results out of smoothbore 1187.
The...

I have a couple of saeco moulds a tc and a rnfp.Both work 100%
I have tried the Lee semi wad and also still have a Lee wfn GB mould from way back.
Neither of these feed- too snicky- even after...

What a great write up!
Your English is better than a lot of my friends here in the UK!
FWIW I would measure the diameter of your 3 bullets as cast.
Yoy may find that all you have to do is Alox...

Thanks guys for the replies.
Have a week in DC staying in the north west then driving to Knob Creek for the mg shoot.
Looks like there is a Lowes near our hotel in KY.
Thanks for the tip on...

Thank you one and all who replied.
It gives me a starting point as we have a hectic schedule!
At least it looks like its still around!
Cheers,
Tony

Guys,
I understand the original JPW in the yellowish tins is hard to get or no longer produced.
I am coming the US in October and will be in DC and Louisville,and places in between!
Is there a...

Thanks for the replies and PM`s chaps.
I am sure this has got legs!
Tony

I thought it was just me!
Tony :?

Thanks for the info on accuratemolds Colorado.
I hadn`t even thought about them!
That would save alot of faffing with Lee.
Cheers.
Tony

Has anyone had Lee make a custom mould recently?
If so what was the quality like and turn around time?
I have been in GB`s here in the bad old days and still feel "tainted"!
I am thinking of...

Thats the type of thing.
I was thinking about the sabot going up to the waist but being quite long.
Long enough to take up the length of a conventional plastic wad to roll crimp into a 70mm case....

Good point on the RCBS die with having a plastic insert.
Hornady it will be,and will try with cast.
Cheers,
Tony

Plastic sabots to fit the Lyman 12g slug.
In essence,the slug will be held inside its own plastic cup which will be in two indentical halves.
This would do away with using a traditional plastic...

Thanks for the replies chaps.
There are some here in the UK now and I will have to have a look at them.
Not looking good though!
Tony

Guys,
I am looking at getting the Hornady die(s) for my LnL but see RCBS make a similar all in one unit.
The RCBS has one body with 4 plastic collets for 4 calibers.
The Hornady is one die one...

Has any one got hands on experience of the "new" 1894`s?
In particular the 1894CBL.
I need to know about how they compare to "proper" Marlin`s in terms of fit/finish etc.
I need to know whether I...

I have the LNL Auto and love it...............especially after a Loadmaster............uugghh!
So simple and cheap to change calibres. The case feeder works fine.
I have only loaded with large...

Piedmont is correct about the Lee/Redding die issue.
I have a K11 and Lee dies and they work fine.
I aquired a set of Redding dies and the resized brass wont fit the gun!
The chambers are slightly...
