Went to the range today to shoot the ole Enfield No. 4 Mk1. I had my cartridge box sitting on the table and I was just loading them one by one while shooting. Well after about 20 rounds fired I grabbed another one, put it in the chamber, all while the rifle is laying on the bag and im behind it...

I couldn't stand it any longer. I just had to go to the range and try out these BOOLITS. These are the Lee R.E.A.L 440 grain boolits I cast the other night. Fired out of my little .58 cal Cabela's Hawken Carbine 22" barrel 1:48 twist. I fired these with 60 grains at first then the last two...

I spent much of today searching for something to put this spare GPR barrel into. I didn't come up with much. A new stock and lock is too pricey from Lyman. You guys have any ideas? I was hoping to luck up on something reasonable (read cheap) that I could get and create another rifle.

Well I was playing with the .58 Carbine this morning, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the bore is so much brighter than my GPR (<<brand new barrel). So I did some googlin, Investarms chrome lined the bores on these things. My question is why? You are not running a 100 rounds...

Just emptied two cylinders from the Sheriff in the dark. Now that was KEWL!!!! :cool: :D And no wind so there was this eeeerie FOG left over LOL!!!

Hey Ya'll Happy New Year! I just cast up some .58cal REAL boolits. I got good fill out and the bullets look good except there is some like cloudy discoloration on them. I have a 10lb Lee production pot with the bottom spout. I usually melt the lead on Hi then I turn it down to 6 and flux and...

I can say that the short time I was away from here I SAVED ALOT OF MONEY!!!!:D You got guys posting pics of Colonial pistols, Pedersoli Rifles, Duelist with his videos of his kit......................JEESH you guys are adding fuel to the fire!!! ;) I hope everyone here has a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Anyone know anything about Diamondback powder? At only 9.50 lb I just may try it. I know you pay for what you get. http://www.addictedtoblackpowder.com/2.html

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-223C :eek: One of my buddies called me ranting and raving about it. LOL I told him for the price of ONE of your rounds I can have tons of fun :D

I think when I get these crumb snatchers in the sack, I'm gonna slip off to the basement and cast up some REAL bullets tonight for the .58. I'm gonna try em out in the little Cabelas Carbine when I go to the range here in the next couple days. Quick Question. For a REAL bullet do they perform...

So me and the wife were out and about today, and I stopped in a few pawn shops. There were quite a few very nice looking side locks, well on the outside, but when I peered down the barrel :eek: corrosion and pitted barrels. One was a very nice Renegade but the barrel looked nasty. How can...

Hey Ya'll, Finally got settled in Mcminnville TN. Just got internet hooked up today. Love it up here. Now I just got to find some smoke friendly ranges to go too. I'm about to die to burn some powder. And why yes I have broke out the smoke poles and fondled them regularly :D Good to be back.

I almost sold this rifle. But I had mixed feelings about it, so I started looking around the web and on the nagant site. Seems I may have a 91/59 that is just a tad rare. The basics is its a numbers matching Tula manufactured hex receiver. manuf. date is 1932. It has a lite colored beautiful...

Not quite sure but its gotta be pretty close to that outside right now. :D Was gonna go shoot today, but I'm afraid to take the powder outside!

A post in another thread has me chewing on this for more than a minute. So here goes. Just how many patched round balls would it take to shoot a barrel out? :eek: I mean seems to me it would take a BAZILLION, seeing as how the patch is nice and lubed up and we're not shooting jacketed bullets...

Ok I was reading in another thread and I just have to ask. In order to prevent turn lines, you should always go to full cock from half cock, then let the hammer down. Is this correct? I hope so cause thats the way I do it. My ROA has some turn lines on the cylinder, but they were there when I...

My wife bought me the Pardner Protector last year for Christmas. And after firiing it a bunch with slugs, roundball, buckshot, buck and ball, and a whole bunch of #8's. I REALLY like this shotgun. I can't find a thing wrong with it. And at 159.00 makes it all the better. Yeah its made in China...

Hey fellas, I was reading the instructions that came with the REAL mold. I don't know if these instructions are general for all the molds, but it says coating the entire bullet with alox is better than just lubing the grooves. (may be Lee's ploy to sell Alox). Should I do that or Pan lube the...

Check out this link http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2237447936/tt1436568 I haven't seen the movie yet but I will soon. He may just use them in one scene. Hehe the ole smoke poles in a movie thats not a western :D I can't tell from the pic but they may be '60 Army's too. Not sure But I swear on...

Hey Ya'll, I read this section of the forum alot, but this is my first post in here. I hear alot of you saying that if you don't flux you will lose alot of the antimony and tin content of your lead. So since I cast for my muzzle stuffers (conical, RB) should I flux a whole lot less than I do...
