Hello to all those who can teach me,
I have had good success Breach Seating a Falling Block Works Model J chambered in 32/40. I have dabbled around a bit with PP in that rifle and a Uberti Hi Wall in 38/55. In 45/70, I have stayed with traditional cast boolits and smokeless powders. You just cannot tackle everything at once. To make matters worse, I just picked up a Remington XR-100 with a 27' Bartlein barrel with a 8 twist chambered in 300 Blackout. That should make an interesting cast boolit shooter. The supplies are located and ordered, and I am just waiting on the mail order houses to catch up and ship.
Too many projects and not enough time.
Anyway, it seems that I could simplify the load column and neck tension issues by breach seating a PP Boolit. Plus, it really turns heads at the range. Don McDowell of this forum commented once that Maj. Ned Roberts spoke highly of it in his book. My question is which one? On Amazon.com, I found three: The Muzzle Loading Caplock Rifle, Breech Loading the Single Shot Rifle, and Maj. Ned Roberts and the Schuetzen Rifle. There may be other authors of equally informative books. I really don't want to accumulate a library here, just a good definitive read on the subject. Can anyone refer me to a good one?
Thanks,
Bill
