You would be correct

People have been repeating old wives/gunwriters tales about the 32 W.S. for so long they assume they are true. There are quite a few that have been repeated here.

I have one of those. Paid $5 for it at an estate sale about 10 years ago. Yeah flounderman it weighs 24#. I use mine as a dedicated deprime station.

Hornady started making Bee brass for 2017. Graf's sold out of their shipment in under an hour. I personally don't like H110, W296, 2400, or IMR 4227 in the Bee. Pressure hits max before any real...

I've done it 4 times

I have two of those #533476. One I opened up the driving bands to .541" and it shoots well in every .54 I tried it in (4 total). The Lyman #542622 is very accurate but needs sized down a little to...

are your projectiles tight? BH209 likes tight fitting projectiles for proper ignition

I never had any luck with that Lee 540-415. It scattered all over the target out of two different rifles. The Lyman 542622 shoots clover leafs out of the same rifles. The Lyman has a heavy skirt. I...

twist changed to 1-10" when the 99 went to tang safety 1961ish

I use LC .308 brass. 22-250 is easier though. Any reformed brass was better/lasts longer than factory stuff.

I don't think take downs were manufactured after WW2. I don't think they chambered the 30-30 in the 99 after WW2 either.

If you cast the 457121 from pure lead they usually drop about .455" from the mold ( I have two). Fill the grooves with lube then push them nose first into a .454" die then again .452" etc. The...

I remember when people called me crazy when i bought a new old stock Birmingham PH Volunteer for $500 back in '97. I bought my PH Whitworth used in '89 for $350 from a pawn shop when I was in college.

Ken Waters listed max load was 32.0gr RL-7 with 250gr. slug. Out of my 24" barrel Win 94 that load is 1925-1950fps

Yes projectile length is important. At cast bullet speeds in the 1-14" twist the bullet length needs to be even shorter than jacketed because of the reduction of projectile RPM's. In my 99 (1-14") I...

I will be in your debt if you can also post pics of your .461 Gibbs Metford

please post pics of the Rigby!

I think Skeettx and Hickok are right. My early '80's Crazy Horse Winchester 94 38-55 has a .380" groove and I shoot .381" 250gr. gas checked bullets out of it. Like Hickok said trying to chamber a...

Love his rifles.

you can use Lyman #2 or wheel weights for ML'er projectiles. The key is making then the correct size so they load easily. With a round ball, use a .005" smaller mold than a pure lead mold, i.e. a...

.379" works well in mine

The old T/C pre lubers (i have 45, 50, 54) don't fit the new tubes of lube. Major thread diameter difference. Anyone know what the old pre lubers screw on to that would work to dispense lube?

I use LBT LFN's and NOE RD 325-180 both sized @ .325" in a pre micro groove and micro groove Marlin

in my White 97 UltraMag .504 I use the Accurate 500T cut @ .507".

You're right of course Ron about .45's being illegal now in Idaho. But at one time they were legal and my Parker Hale .451 Whitworth harvested my only muzzleloader bull elk in Idaho many moons ago.
