I checked my records and this is where I got my taller front sight. They have replacement front sight pins also.

An 1884 should have a Buffington sight. The sight when folded down is set for 275 yards. When flipped up it has a low setting of 200 yards. My 1884 shoots way high at 100 yards even with a carbine...

If they copied the law here in Commiefornia you will be required to use "certified" ammo. As you know, your word to the gubberment is no good. If you shoot any kind of "odd ball" caliber you won't...

Robert,
I may look into doing something along those lines. The funny thing is I got this setup to make things a bit faster than my other method of trimming. Here is the answer I got when I put the...

I love shooting 30 carbine. However, it is not one of my favorites to reload. I shoot it in a carbine and a Blackhawk. The Blackhawk is the problem. It headspaces off of the rim. So trimming...

The answer is easy. Buy a 10 gauge shotgun!!!

After checking my 401k I have a question. In a couple of months when you can afford it could I hire on as your driver? I can drive that stick shift Ranger no problem. :kidding:

Another vote here for the Lee 200 grain mold if you are going to shoot smokeless loads. I powder coat and blast away!
However, if you have any thoughts about going to a black powder load you will...

I got the load from BP.

LOAD# 140217-5487

HULL: RIO 12ga. 2.75”

PRIMER: RIO209

PROPELLANT: ALLIANT RED DOT 24.1 Grains

When I started reading this forum I was like you. I was looking for a way to avoid the high cost of slugs. I found a great solution. I started getting RIO primed hulls from Ballistic Products. I...

My grandpa told me the only stupid question is the one you don't ask...so here goes.

What does adding lanolin do in a lube. I make Gatofeo lube and they say to use lamb tallow because it has...

My cleaner isn't big enough for the frame of my ROA. But, the cylinder and nipples fit just fine. I just use a bit of Simple Green and they come out like new. It is fun to watch the stuff start...

I use 25 grains of RL7 for shooting Lever Action Silhouette. I have not gotten the 1st place trophy yet! But, I have a feeling that isn't due to the boolit or load.

Cartridge Kits makes a former for the .54 Sharps. I use their kits for my Ruger Old Army and it works well.

I used their Ruger mount for a Viper red dot. I have found that if you try to drive them with a brass punch they will dig in at the edge. They go in fine with a sight pusher.

Care Credit is not a bad option. You have to pay but most vets have a plan that gives you a year interest free. Next time you see one of the big insurance companies buildings,, you will understand,...

PCP is Pre-charged pneumatic. They fill them off of a high pressure tank (like a SCUBA tank). I have never gotten one as the price of the compressors is a bit stiff. However, with the new list...

0000 should be .380" Dick Dastardly has a 6up round ball mold in .380. I have a Marty's mold and they make good shot. But, the amount of time you are going to spend cutting if off will offset the...

Lyman #4 says 18 to 24 grains for a Lyman #311291

The Western Powders manual says:
170gr. RNFP 19.8-22 grains
170gr RNFPGC 18.7-24.3
Good luck with your tests. I tried 5744 for 30WCF and...

I do take a fish oil and a flax seed oil. I take those because SWMBO puts them in a little cup and gives them to me at dinner. I know who makes dessert around here so I take them.
As far as a...

I am a member. It is more fun and more informative over here.

Great shooting! Nice to see you use the same high end targets I use.

You have been given good advice in the above posts. The only thing I would add is to get an properly size piece of dowel or other rod to compress the powder. Put a mark on it so you end up with the...

SP-10 wads! Those are the ones you get from the Leprechauns. I have set Leprechaun traps every where and still haven't caught one. Congratulations.

Hang in there and work on getting better. Perhaps this link will help with your liquid diet!!!
