Why not shoot at 50- 100 yards until you get it dialed in better. Dr.C

320239, Heck, Just get an original. This thing has a pristine bore and shoots to the sights in small groups. No British marks, a homebody short rifle. Dr.C

Lyman number 4 1/2 tang sight is for the model 71. comes with the longer stock screw since they are all pistol gripped. Have to drill the front hole. Dr.C

I have no problem with the new hammer system. In fact, I requested that it be used in my 50-110 from Turnbull. I have had a stroke and my rifle handling skills have been compromised and I'm more...

BH209 is back on the market for a whopping $79.99 for 8 ounces now instead of the original 10 ounces! Now, I'm not a cheap skate and I love to use that powder, but I am not paying $180.00 a pound to...

littlejack Thanks, I missed the mould and would have bought it. I was too slow checking back here. Dr. C

I have 5 Model 71s, standards, deluxe, and 2 deluxe carbines, ?I'm a collector/shooter of old Winchesters. sometimes its irrational to just 'want' one but the best fix is to get one or even more....

Charlie b, the gun is just not very accurate. The bore is close to .406 but my mould casts a .402 bullet, Lyman 403169, 2 cavity. I use certified 20:1 metal. That mould is specific for 40-65 and...

The ones I have are copper. wanted to try the 416 gas checks on a .407 boolit for a 40-65wcf.

I have several moulds that are a gas check design but I am wondering if gas checks can be affixed to the base of non- gas check designed boolits ? Dr.C

Thanks so much, that is the information that I was looking for. Dr.C

I have an original Lyman 21 sight to put on my '95 src, 3006. The extra hole is already there and in the exact correct location. Question is: there is a brass washer with the sight and it has an...

FWIW, I have numerous Miroku guns in 94s, 86s, and 92s and have Never had a misfire. Dr.C

302159This is the best reason why. Black powder with a hand cast 20:1 plain base bullet, SPG lube and Walters vegetable wad

I was hoping to be able to do that and fireform brass then reload but 40-82 brass lacks 3/8" chambering in the 40-70. Dr.c

That is going to happen next if I cannot find some dies or factory ammo. Thanks

Need 40-70 wcf reloading dies, age or brand not important. Dr.C

I bought a really nice 40-70 wcf at the Colorado Gun Collectors Show a few months back. Half round ,half magazine, special order gun. I know that it is basically a 40-82 with a steeper twist barrel...

Thanks, Dr.C

What metal recipe are they cast from 1:20?

Hard88cast sadly have only shot targets but the boolit is very accurate in my Turnbull dlx, takedown, half round ,Miroku '86. I would expect excellent penetration and expansion. Dr.C

FWIW Barnes makes boolits in 300 grain as well as 450 grain for the 50-110-300 and the 50-100-450 for use in the 1886 Winchester and the cannelure is in the same place on both boolits. I have shot...

Trailboss is a great powder in my hands in 45-70, 45-90, 50-110, 50-100-450. Dr.C

277501This was shot with a 38-56, cast boolit, and black powder. 38-56 is a viable ctg. Imo Dr.c

38-70 wcf is another option. I have an '86 that is a great shooter. cases form readily from 45-90 brass. I think it is a great ctg. Dr.
