The 44-40 is a super round . I have been reloading the same 500 rounds for over 14 yrs without 1 case failure and the brass has been reloaded over 75 times . My SASS/CAS loads are the same as 44 spl 6.0 Unique / 725 fps and my hunting loads meet or exceed the 44 mag . The brass is a little tricky t...

I use a double boiler to melt the lube , it don't change the viscosity of lube like the direct heat . I pour melt lube directly into sizer and I get no air pocket . I need to try making your lube stick , super great idea .

All targets below shot with Fed 150 . Loads are under 40,000 psi .

These are on the back of loading data card , not the best target shot with gun .

If your loads are near max , back off min 10% . If you are shooting cast the hot primer can cause it to lead up faster . You shouldn't have any problems , I shoot both primers in my 32-20 , SP with Unique and SR with IMR4227 .

I posted this for a winc ,but the same thing for the Marlin

Anything under 4X I think the iron sight are faster and better then a scope . If you have a front sight on gun it will be in the field of view of a 2.5X scope or lower power if it a wide field of view scope .

TX Gun Runner

Sound like the action is not 100% closed . And yes I know a 94 will not fire till the lever closed , but it will dent the primer and not fire if the bolt is not closed 100% because of ammo too long in head space or bullet hitting rifling . And the other thing is pull the firing pin out and see if i...

tn gun runner ---- If a barrel/chamber of a straight walled case was ringed with 2400 powder, there was something else in that case in addition to the powder. Most likely a wad of come kind, or a filler that acted like a wad. In 30 plus years of Schutzen shooting I've seen 3 chambers ringed and all...

TX Gun Runner

In reduced cast bullet loads I use Unique . 2400 powder is a great powder , but I have seen it ring chamber in reduced loads in straight wall cases . The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has a lot more loads using 2400 in 100 other chamberings http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z195/dukeboy51/web/a0850c5...

I have 7 Vaquero's and they all shoot POA . Before you start bending , filing . hammering or what ever .

TX Gun Runner

Here's my 2 cents ....... I have a 92 Rossi in 44-40 which run almost as smooth as a 66 or 73 , but it is harder to clean and work on then 66 , 73 or Marlin 94 . I have all the trick goodie in my 32-20 Marlin , but the 92 is still my favorite and the 66 and 73 are heavier and don't handle like my 9...

I learned a lot off this post that I didn't know before . Thanks to J Miller I learn a lot about 45 LC . I'm a 44-40 man and 32-20 is my fun gun .

TX Gun Runner

What you are looking at is the original configuration of the 45 Colt cartridge in 1873. No, it is not a balloon head case, it is a copper cased, Benet primed cartridge. And yes, that tiny rim is the reason nobody bothered to chamber rifles for the cartridge, there is nothing for an extractor claw to...

TX Gun Runner

Colt-Burgess was only made in 44-40 , the Colt lightning was made 32-20 , 38-40 , 44-40 and about 6 larger rifle cal , but never made it in 45LC . I knew they had the pattern on the pistol I didn't know about ammo . Why wasn't the lightning ever chamber in it ?

I shoot CB's near houses , short's and LR's in the woods . And they all work threw the action and is deadly on small game .

I've used the Unique and 4227 loads and all my cast bullet loads and get super small groups [around 1 inch] out of both powders . I've seen 2400 rings chamber , so I stayed away from it .

tn gun runner, what twist does your Ruger have? I have been thinking about putting a 32-40 together for 200 grain bullets and wonder if the 16" twist will stabilize them or if a 14" twist might be better? I use the 1 in 16 Douglas . You need to keep the bullet above the sound barrier at 2...

I like the Lyman 21 because you can change from 100 to 600 yds in the flick of a lever and back again in a second . I don't any other sight that fast .
