Depends on the bullet nose profile. The XCB in my rifle at .310 has to be seated way deep as it hits the actual chamber wall. Not the lands. At .309 it can seat out a lot farther. The rcbs 200 can go...

Anyone but me try IMR 4198 in the 41 mag? I shot a load of 22.0 grains with a accurate 41-250a bullet. Avg was1093 fps with a extreme spread of 12.7. Out of old model Blackhawk 4 5/8. Worked real...
Thanks! Here's another group from the 30 grain charge...and another at 35 grains, that one has to be moving pretty good, still need to chrono. These were a different day, may try some more tomorrow
140929Shot black powder in her today. 15.5 goex 3f. Chrono'd it too. Averages 854 fps with the Lyman 85RN. Now she's all cleaned up.

Some testing I did today with the XCB. .308 at 100 yards.
Wow...did you read the whole thing??? I said that load was max in MY gun. And also recommended that anyone should start around 9-10 grains, and that at t heir own risk. Someone asked about the load...
Not sure the angle but pretty sure on my late model one they used a thread cutting tap...
That was water quenched wheelweights. LBT lube, 30 cal gatorchecks, sized .313
13.0 W296/H110. Averages 1434 fps. That load is right up at max in my gun. Probably over any book max, if you could...

It's things like this OP that are keeping the prices up! Now how many that read this are thinking well geez, now I'm gonna have to buy it since they got it, not even realizing that they were looking...
I don't consider myself a real good handgun shot, but if practicing at longer ranges offhand I do a lot better shooting at a specific object rather than a target. Whether a rock, milk jug, whatever....
7TCU in a 10 inch contender pistol 10.0 Uniqe averages 1580fps with a NOE 135 "thor". About max in this case though, will go a lot faster with slower powder. 8.0 is better shooting but the 10 load...
Try the Accurate 315-130F. I had Tom shorten the nose on a existing design and add weight to base to come out at 130 grains. Its made to fit the single seven, fits the cylinder length perfect as I...
I think so. Slingshot, cast iron with windage.
21 lbs. 199 or 198 on sale. Cheaper yet if you order without windage. Also have aluminum if you want lighter, but heavier the better for me.
Anyone been wanting a nice rifle rest for a long time? Me too. Discovered bullets.com, and suggest you look at the bald eagle rests. Over half off right now. These are 4-5 hundred dollar rests. Much...

If you're gonna shoot smokeless there is no point to the 45-90. If shooting black like said you can seat the bullet out of the 45-70 and have the same capacity as the 90. May or may not need to ream...

If you think they are "nits" you haven't read much....
Yeah, got the old model to use for a custom 32 or 41 special. Have the new model too. But that old model shoots so well I don't want to touch it. Should've not fired it...I just love the frame looks...
Old model single six, top of the tree. 2 pointing dogs that think they're hounds...they found it and was howling. Good day.
How'd they do? I sure don't get all this talk about "dirty" powder??? I've shot pounds of unique, no more dirty then anything else. Any low pressure loading will be dirtier than a higher pressure...
I've also read there is no conversion and it varies between different cartridges. ..some cartridges they will be almost the same and others differ by a lot.

You do NEED a 45/70 if you don't have one yet. Just loaded up some roundball loads, 3 140 grain .457 lead balls on top of bullseye. 25 yards all 3 group in about 2 inches about an inch above aim....
