I can not recommend a mold as I do not cast. I do have some .349 250gr FNGC projectiles I purchased from Frank at Mt.Baldy several years ago. He lists it as a custom mold. They shot well in two B-71 carbines that I owned. I would be happy to send you some to try. If you like that bullet, maybe Frank...
Got a question on the 1886 Winchester that is marked 'CAL..45-90 black powder only', Are they a lower grade barrel or will they stand modern powder pressures? Thought an old 1886 with a 32" barrel in 45-90 propelled by modern powder would be a good fun long range hunting gun. Not sure if your ...
Another thing about the 38/55 worth mentioning in regard to the LFC is that the brass comes in several lengths. Most is fairly short & thats what MY LFC die is set up for. It will crimp on the longer brass but the crimp is too long for my liking since there is no adjustment for varying where it...
I took it to the range last night. What a great , fast handling, little rifle. Comes to shoulder very nice and is quite accurate. With iron sights, 25yds I could keep all shots within 8" from a standing, off-hand position. 45LC, Lee 255g bullet of Wheel Weight, 6.2g Green Dot powder. That rifl...
It is best to seat and crimp in separate operations. The Lee FCD for the .44-40 and .45-70 are the rifle, collet type dies. They are great tools. No worries about the die sizing your finish product. 1886.
I sent two .45 cal Ruger Blackhawk cylinders to cylindersmith to have the the throats opened to .4525". The gent does nice work. His prices are fair and his turn around time is excellent. His webpage is http://www.cylindersmith.com Read his instructions carefully before shipping. He has some ex...
I appreciate the comments posted about the TTN Coach Gun. It is a nice piece. I was able to spend a little range time with it. It patterns field loads, various buckshot loads and slugs very well. 3" slugs going bang simultaneously is fun! The kids shot some sheet with it. It does quite well wit...
Nice rifle. I had a 65 Rossi .45 Colt. It wore the nicest wood I have seen on a Rossi and it handled very well every bullet I tried. It now lives with a forum member. Have Fun, 1886.
I have owned and shot several. None shot worth a da--. I have given up on the B-92 .44 mags. The B-92 chambered in .357 is another matter! They shoot great. I believe Terry M. has some experience with the .44 too. Maybe he will come along. This is just my experience. Maybe I bought the only 4 bad ex...
Is anyone out there shooting a Winchester Model 1895 in 35 WCF? I recently rebarreled to this caliber, formed cases from Hornady .405 brass, and I'm ready to start working up loads. I want to develop a good load for the Hornady .358 250 gr round nose, and cast loads for the Ideal 358318 251gr round...
Hi J, Never really thought about selling them but if you want them we can work out something. Drop me a line. Sorry for taking this thread off track!! I love the 95. I just grabbed a B-95 in .30-40, the .35's little bro. 1886
Slightly OT but I have a partial OLD box, 10 rounds, of Winchester .35 Winchester ammo. Box is pretty beat but the rounds look OK. Again OT but I did want to mention it. Thanks, 1886.
Given your skills, I agree that you could stretch the lever. I once owned a 71 that had a longer lever. The workmanship was well done. I have tried Terry's technique. It works well. 1886.
