Finally picked the gun up it’s in very nice shape but it’s very hard chambering un-sized brass and reloaded ammo that shoots in my 73 Winchester. So I’ll have to clean some brass and see what’s up.

I’m looking forward to shooting this one. Now I need brass lol
Ok cool, I took my 1889 vintage to work to check the material of the receiver and it is 12L14 so it’s better then cast. Getting back to the Scholfield I’m looking forward to shooting it.
Hello all, I believe I just bought a Navy Arms 1875 Scholfield revolver in 44-40 with a 7in barrel, I say “I believe” because it was at a local action house with an absentee bid so I’m waiting on...

Alright everyone thank you for the ideas. After looking here and many more places I wish I had some a5744 but I don’t. Although I loaded some 405’s with 13gr of trail boss and tomorrow I’m going to...

I’m currently waiting on a 1885 BPCR in 45-70. To start out I want to shoot smokeless out of it as I’ve never shot black before. I’ve also never used fillers and don’t want to ring the chamber. So...

Thanks for all the replies! I do plan on getting an 1885 bpcr in 45-70 and also a 1895 marlin at some point so I’m leaning towards 45-70 to round out the future family lol. As far as 20 tactical I...

Hello all, I’m about to pick up a ruger number 1 chambered in 20 tactical. I honestly don’t think I want to get into 20 cal. It’s already been rechambered to this and has a composite stock on it so...

Thanks everyone I’m calling today to see what the guy might do on a price for the old girl. We will see.

Yes as stated earlier the bore in the current 32cal barrel is completely toasted so I would have to rebore it if I was to do anything. Trust me if I could do a 32-20 that would be ideal. But I’ve...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Ok well I always thought 1885’s were made overly strong but I didn’t know they took old bp guns and converted them. I guess 4140 pre hard wasn’t around then either. if I do end up with it I will keep...

Ok I’m going to look over the suggested book today, would 357mag at 35k psi be better? Or any other recommendations. I’m pretty sure the bore is junk so it would have to be bored out. I guess I could...

What’s your load for bullseye? Anything with 2400?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Awesome my new manual doesn’t list the 225107.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I’m trying to find data for the 225107 in 22 hornet. Any data really. I was going to originally use imr4227 but couldn’t find data. I also have 2400, h110, unique, bullseye, red dot, blue dot, 231, H...
Thanks for all the input, I’ve now had the chance to hold and point 2 m17’s both brand new so I couldn’t do much more then that but just that alone they both felt great in my hand. I’ve always been...
I’m really looking forward to getting one. Now coyote Tan or the black bravo model? Hmm also one more question I’ve read that the P320 comes in 45acp but it is a stand alone model so if I buy a m17...
