Two guns chambered in 30-06 and 100 rounds for each that had been fired once and reloaded with Barnes bullets for hunting the Condor Safety Zone in CA, of course the rounds are not interchangeable. ...

Very good advise!
When I first started loading my .44 for Cowboy Action Shooting on a new Dillon 550B I had some distractions and problems with the learning curve with the first 1,000 rounds so I...

Brings back fond memories.

This thread has been on for a long time. I shoot 45/70 in a Sharps action with 30-1 Lead/tin mix. It took a plastic card wad between a smooth card wad and perfect base of a 500 grain round nose...

Howdy Gents, I shoot a 1895 Winchester lever gun, born in 1896, with a new barrel that I spent a lot of time worrying over what to shoot in her. The metal in the action/bolt I am told is not unlike...

Will do Pard. It might take a few as I am in the middle of wiring and lighting my new 950 square foot redwood deck that I built 3 feet above grade a couple years back. Got more difficult when I...

Howdy LP,
I didn't keep my promise to the Sharps to never use lead to steel but it was just for a short time. She will never see another bare projectile again in my life time. I use a lapped oak...

Good evening Racingsnake,
I started reloading for my father at 10 years of age. That was in 1951 and at 71 I expect I have shot more than 100,000 rounds of very accurate rifle and pistol loads. I...

BattleRife, kudos to you! Brilliant and far less expense that the $500.00 unit I was looking at. Thank you. Westerner

Good morning gentelmen.

Hello folks,
I am about to purchase a 1895 Winchester lever gun in 30-40 Krag that was put together in 1896. I have seen and handeled it for my friend to be sure it was in shootable condition and...

Lee has a size/trim die to turn 303 Brit brass into krag "bottles" for my 95 Win. if I can't find any but 303 isn't easy to come by either.

That is 1896. Howdy Pards. This is all good info' , thanks a bunch. I have my daddy's 60 year old Lyman 311299 that is well used and still pours a clean slug. I can't wait to launch a few and get...

I will stick with the tried and true "adjustable RPM" Barrel on my Pedersoli 1874 Quigley Sharps. Case in point; a 405 grain cast flat base flat point molly coated and lubed hard lead bore diameter...
