Good afternoon gents. I hope all is well. I am looking for a new powder for my '73 WCF. I read an article from kirkD some time ago and had amazing results from 5744. Does anyone know who makes this...

Red River Rick,
The mold I am using at present is a conical mold from CBE. I don't have a hex mold at present, I'm putting away the bucks until I end up with $585.00. What is the melted BP lube...

Good afternoon gents, I have just received 200 hexagonal wads for my Paker Hale Whitworth from Peter Dyson in England. These wads are 3/8” thick. When I make up a dry trial cartridge with the felt...

Hey LAGS, thanks for the reply. The standard flip up sight gave me a 30" radius for sighting but since I put the Soule long range sight on I now have a sight radius of 39". If I shorten the barrel by...

Hey swamp, after the wads dried out were they hard or soft? Why I ask is because Peter Dyson wads are thick and they might dry hard and wont smeer the lube along the barrel. Am I on the right track?...

G’day again guys, I have just been speaking with a mate who informed me that I should be using more than hexagonal wads I had been cutting from thin old hat felt. He said I should be using thicker...

Hey Gents, thanks for that it'll give me something to think about. Texas by God, what did you mean when you said (The handling will show the difference, probably for the better).

Thanks for the reply and yes I am using iron sights. I didn't know if the 3" would make much difference to accuracy. At present I have a Lyman 17ATC globe front sight .854" heigh and a Pedersoli Tang...

G’da gents, hope all is fine. I have a new project. I’m going to customize my Parkerhale Whitworth. I want to shorten the barrel to 33 inches, move the brass nose cap back, shorten the timber in...

Just read an article from Avivaler regarding Hodgdon and ADI. A really good read. It concerns interchangeability of powder and loads.
Sorry, I don't know how to transfer the link.
If you...

(For clarity, ADI’s AR2207 is rebranded as H4198 in the US and most other export markets. Load data is interchangeable between these two).
I also see on Hodgdon’s Propellant chart that H4227...

Good afternoon gents.
Can anyone tell me if Hodgdon has any reloading information regarding H4198 /AR2207 for the 38/40.
Regards
Bob.
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks guys for the reply's. JFE I see you have AR2207 equal to H4198. I'll have a look around and see if I can find some info from ADI and if they say AR2207 is equal to Reloader 7 I think I will go...
Forum: Leverguns
Good morning guys, hope everyone is fine. I am wondering if there is someone out there that might have information regarding loading the 38/40 with AR2207. I think it could be similar to the...

Hey Wilderness,
Thank you for so much information. You have to be happy with an all original model 65 in 218 Bee, especially being your fathers rifle and purchased new. What a good pass me down....

Good afternoon gents,
I have what I suspect is a model 65 Winchester. Why I say suspect is because the serial number is 1002065 and my limited research indicated that the Model 65s were introduced...

M-Tecs, Thanks for the reply. I will have to see if John Korts accurate mold will carry enough lube in the 30" barrel sufficiently enough to stop fouling out. Thanks again for the info.

Hey Gents, a quick question, I have obtained a near new Uberti 44 WCF ‘73 which has a 30” barrel. I have been using 26gns of Rel 7 in my 1873 (1892)Winchester rifle behind a 200 grn Winchester...

I have intentions of getting a heavy bullet mold for my 32 WS. I want something a bit heavier than the 170gr rcbs I am using at the moment. I'm thinking the 32-195D will be just what the doctor...

G'day gents,
I thought I might try something out of the ordinary today. I resized 25 .44 mag cases to 44-40. I loaded some with 6.5 grns of trail boss and the remainder with 20grns of 2400. They...

G'day gents.
I have a Winchester 375 Bib Bore and originally purchased it with 100 factory cartridges, sixty of which were loaded with 250grns projectiles. I have used 40 of these on pigs and deer...
Forum: Leverguns
Speedo66, the '73 is an original (1892). I have used Trailboss and it was reasonably accurate but I was looking for a powder that will go close to filling the case.

Thanks for the info. Yes the '73 is a 44WCF and is very accurate with the Reloader 7. As I mentioned the RL 7 along with a lot of other powders wont be available until the end of the...
