Lenn,

My late mother had a miniature windmill in her back yard. She would have loved that one.

What amazes me is how many people say they will vote for Biden... :shock: They must be either: a) viewing him as just a ‘place-holder’ for someone unimpaired who they will slip in before inauguration, or b) so out of touch with reality that they have no clue the impact of his political agenda, or c...

Winchester started D&T'ing for scope mounts in the early 80's when they went to the AE models.

I looked up and watched the video. He pretty much answered your question in his first sentence when he said the 73 carbine was one of his favorites.

I've fired a bunch of lever guns and although the 73 wouldn't be my first choice, I don't see any thing wrong with it.

OUCH!

Last time I saw one like that it had been disassembled by a double charge of Bullseye.

If we ever get back out west and can get together, I'll buy the beer and supply the ammo.

I'd love to see this upside down shooting.

OK, my long wanted Redding Dual Ring Carbide die has arrived. Been wanting one since I first read about them years ago. Originally they were out of my budget, then when I did have the funds they were unobtainium. The one one I just got came from Accurate Arms & Ammo, Inc via eBay. It's the singl...

J Miller

I checked everyplace suggested and no one had any in stock. Gave up and bought a die from an eBay dealer. Well, been wanting one of these .45 Colt dual carbide ring dies since they came out, now I'll have one.

Joe

J Miller

Bob, I'm not sure I'd go to +P+ pressure levels in those calibers. I have the original Hodgdon (?) #26 manual and the .45 Colt Ruger - Thompson / Center loads stop at 30K PSI or CUP, not sure which. Even in the Win 94 I won't go farther than that. One of the loads I've shot is 300 gr cast truncated ...

J Miller

Bob, I don't know about "all" Win 94s in the pistol calibers, but I do know about my 1985 vintage 94AE in .45 Colt. It will handle over length ammo up to 1.75" COAL. I suspect that an AE model in 44-40 will handle cartridges somewhat longer than factory as well. If your 94 is a pre AE...

Been out of the loop for about 10 years now, trying to find a good source to buy Redding Dies.
Tried Midway and Brownells, they're out of stock.

Who else is good, other than eBay and Amazon?

Bryan, I started reloading in the late 60's. At that time most of the primers I was using were CCI. They were flat. The Federal and Winchester primers were domed. To keep from detonating them I had to grind the priming punch (original Lee Loader) to a concave shape. By the mid 1970's all the fresh p...

Today will be the last NASCAR race I watch until they bring the fans back. This due to their obsession with the Covid 19 fraud, the masks as well as the simpering and whining I hear every race. Without the fans to boo for Bush, Logano and Keselowski it just ain't normal. I'm betting NASCAR is loosin...

Blaine,

Here is an idea; coat it with the rubber coating the auto parts stores sell to coat tools and whatnot.

My experiences with handgun length cartridge lever guns is limited. > My Marlin 1894S fed jacketed .357 and 38 Spcl ammo perfectly. It also fed ammo with cast bullets using round or tapered bullet profiles without issue. However if you had a round loaded with a SWC in your pocket, the Marlin would j...

Cheyenne, The floppy trigger is normal to the post 64s. A bit annoying to some, but not a problem functionally. The hammer moving forward after lowering the lever is due to a change to the little cross brace in the receiver that sits directly in front of the hammer. It was shortened to allow the tri...

Every time I look at this I wonder if this was a fatal injury.

I still have lots of 12 ga ammo from years back. So since I;m not really a shot gunner I'll stick with what I have.
I've been looking at them on line and like the 8 shot Mossberg 590 Retrograde version. Now to find someone that has one I can look at.

OK, it's been many summers since I've had a shotgun. I'm still sitting on my "stimulus funds" and was wondering what would be a decent / good, general purpose, not expensive shotgun that would be reliable enough to keep around as a HD gun? I'm not much of a hunter so I don't really want - ...

18.5 grs of 2400 under a 260 - 265gr SWC is actually Keith's light load put together in balloon head cases and used in late black powder or early smokeless Colts. When the solid head cases came out he upped it to 20.0 grs 2400, and when Ruger brought out their big Blackhawk he upped it to 22.0 grs. ...

To convert the rebounders to half cock, just disassemble the lower tangs, set aside the hammer, trigger, sear, main spring and strut of the rebounding action, then install the same half cock parts. The pre-saftey rebounder tangs are the same as as the later half cock tangs so the action parts will i...

I've wondered why they didn't use curly maple stocks on cartridge guns for a long time... Curly maple? Yes!!! Nice figure in the wood? Yes!!! But to me, the "blonde" finish is too bright -- I'd rather have a gorgeous "redhead or brunette" like you typically find on nicer flintlo...

I've wondered why they didn't use curly maple stocks on cartridge guns for a long time, so when my wife showed me this one, I fell in love with it.

Thanks for the info, gents. OldWin, I'm thinking about 4.5 - 4.6 gr. of 231, ('cuz I've got lots of it!), which would give about 900 fps - not too different than your Unique load. I carefully trimmed all of the test cases within a thou or two, and I'm thinking I'll crimp just enough to take the fla...

Thanks for the info and link. Learned something new today.

MGR1,

A question for you, When you said

Swiss #4 black powder

were you referring to 4F powder, or something else.
I've not heard of of black powder referred to in this way before.

Those are cool. I wouldn't mind having one of those.
