I had a #3 in 45-70 once. I had to wear a football mouthpiece to keep from chipping my teeth.

I knew this would happen. Some of this has absolutely nothing to to do with the question I asked. Why do folks ruin a thread like this?

I'd like to hear from someone who has done it. Not to be cheeky, but I really don't care much for everyone's theories. I'm thinking it's borderline....

Lyman Spartan, 50 years ago and still my primary. 2 Lyman turrets of the same vintage and a Rockchucker are secondaries. My older brother started a year or so before me with a Lyman 310 tool in...

Your article says that you decided you like the bullet you designed best. You didn't say why or show any groups fired with it. Inquiring minds would like to know...........

It's a Comblain action. Haven't seen one in a sporter configuration before. Most were military rifles of a South American flavor.

My C Sharps 40-65 hiwall has a fairly tight chamber. Fired brass takes a .408 diameter bullet to slip fit. A .409 won't go in. It has a short throat and an 18" twist. That being said, at the longer...

Anyone tried this in a 40-65? If so, what granulation and what results did you get? I'm thinking of trying and looking for any recommendation for or against.

Yeah, you could get a .221 or a.222 or a .223. You would find it easier to do in a lever gun or a single shot. BUT, you still wouldn't have what you wanted. It would not be a Bee. When it comes to...

I have three #1's. Two are #1A's and a #1B. Leupold scopes on all three give problems with short eye relief. Do yourself a favor and get the extended rings.

Boolit Head, First of all , why carbide it's expensive and not really needed. If this is truly an issue and not merely and example, I'll help. I've solved the same issue for myself, cheap too. PM me...

I've found that on my Browning and C Sharps that the bottom edge of the cheekpiece rides the top of the "ear" on the rear bag causing vertical dispersion. A shooting friend found the same thing with...

Try Treebone rifle stocks. He has the target patterns for Ballards and they require very little finish work to be fitted and shaped.

The Garand was originally designed for a cartridge called the .276 Pederson. The army insisted on it being 30 cal. As best I remember the .276 would have been very close to the 7mm Mauser in...

You should check with C Sharps.......I believe that their 40-70 chamber is designed to use the 405 Winchester brass.

I've owned 2 Remington Model 25 pump action rifles. One in 25-20 and one in 32-20. I tried the 25 on a groundhog one time. I won't do that again. The 32-20 is still here and inspired me to get a...

I'm really surprised no one has suggested putting a muzzle brake on whatever 30cal you might choose. I'd say get a good 308 and put a muzzle brake on it. It will recoil about like a 22 magnum if you...

Remington large pistol primers. I use them in all my BP cartridge loads.
