I'm thinking about purchasing this Steel Powder Storage Box. From the description it would appear that the purchaser must line the box with 1/4" plywood. I'm curious to know if one must line the bottom and sides of the box with plywood as well as the top of the box?

For once I read an article about gun ownership and rights and am pleasantly surprised to see a positive outcome rather than gun ownership losing yet another battle. I'm proud that my state got it right and fixed an ongoing problem that many of you are seeing in your home state. Lets hope this...

I took the Walker out today to do a test drive of the new chrony. I fired quite a few rounds through the Walker today...both .45 Colt and .45 BPM. The results posted here are very preliminary. I had the Walker sitting back 15 feet from the chrony. When I got up to the 52 grain .45 BPM rounds...

I read somewhere in one of these forums that if you have a C&R license that MidwayUSA and a few other places will treat you like a dealer and give you some perks or discounts. Anyone here have a C&R license taking advantage of that? If so, how do you go about signing up for that....and what...

I know some fellas will take a batch of cartridges and weigh them to make sure they are within a certain tolerance. The idea being that one cartridge out of a batch of 100 may weigh a few grains more/less than the other 99. The implication is that the cartridge may be undercharged or...

Test Firing the .45 BPM in Walker Revolver I was asked by several fellas if I ever got around to firing that Walker I converted to use the .45 BPM cartridge. Yes, I did awhile back. I took some video footage firing various configuration of the .45 BPM. I put together a short video for your...

So, why is it that some folks on this forum seem to get hysterical when someone mentions doing reloading with real black powder? :eek: Is it because they are naive and don't realize that, for a long time, cartridges were only loaded with black powder? Semi-smokeless and smokeless powder was...

Anyone have any comments on the quality of Hornady brass? In the picture below you can see a defective 460 S&W Magnum brass casing. This cartridge was fired with about 50 grains of FFFg black powder with a 150 grain bullet. This is brand new brass fired just the one time. The amount of...

Seems like I see plenty of folks who use mineral spirits and Nu-finish or polish specifically branded for use in vibratory tumblers. Does any one here use just plain ol' liquid brass polish like Brasso?

You are looking at an Uberti Walker sitting in a test fixture that is used to evaluate test firing certain cartridges. This Walker was converted to fire the .45 BPM cartridge. The question is: Why is the flame non-symmetric? Notice how the flame jets out downward. Discuss... Sorry for the...

Whadda y'all think about this particular design? Dance and Brother's Revolver

I posted the following on another forum. I thought I'd post it here too for those of you that don't venture beyond this forum. =========================================== Okay cap-n-ballers….don’t hate me. I decided that I wanted the option of shooting cartridges in my Walker in addition to...

Where does one go to have the pressure measured when dealing with a new cartridge or a configuration different from what has been tested in the past. Is there a lab that specializes in this? If so, what is the process and cost?

Curious what kind of chrony data you folks have for a Walker. 40 grains on up to 60 grains. Please post.

Curious to know how many of y'all shoot conicals out of your Walker. What's the largest conical/powder combination you've used and what were the results? Weight of conical and type of powder/charge used please.

I thinking about creating a wildcat cartridge. It requires reducing the the rim diameter on a brass casing by 0.008. I'd welcome any suggestions on the best way to do this. I've got 50 casing that I need to do this on. Is the best plan to find a small CNC shop to do the work or send the...

...I can't believe y'all are voting for French Toast over Jalapenos. LOL! IMHO Officer's Match has the best photo of the bunch. August Photo Contest :rolleyes:

Anyone here use non-aerosol Ballistol to make your lubricated felt wads with? Was curious to know how it might perform and if they'd be too "wet". Was also thinking about using BoreButter. Currently using Crisco/Beeswax mix.

I placed a $700 order back on March 22nd of this year for a number of items from Cabelas. This included a Walker, 5lbs of smokeless (blasphemy) powder, 3000 primers, etc. The items were shipped to me piecemeal. 6 shipments so far for the 11 items I ordered. The most recent shipment was...
