Buckeyeshooter Id love a Turnbull but its a bit over what id like to spend..i would if i could!

snkbittin

From the Chiappa.. Davidson’s does have an exclusive
1886 20” oct takedown grad IV .. looks beautiful

snkbittin

Ya.. I have a 95 takedown Miroku and it’s very nice

Morning!... I’m looking into getting an 1886 in 45-70 I’d like to hear if anyone has had good or bad experience with the Winchester 1886 deluxe made in Japan Or the Taylor & Co 1886 takedown made by Chiappa Made in Italy So if you have had a good bad experience with either I’d love to hear Thank...

snkbittin

Mike, In spite of what others have said, I never cared for Trail Boss....could be because I had a few bad experiences with it in an 1886 in 45-70......wild extreme spreads...but...that could be due to inexperience with the powder. I shoot several thousand rounds a year in the 348.....it gets fed 22...

1938 Model B..ground up resto

snkbittin

Glad your around to rebuild your collection! very nice..I also have a few Smiths and love to see them in good homes

snkbittin

I have shot them in the 38 wcf at <1350fps with out problems. I even filed the plate off the tip and checked the expansion and was surprised to see a nice flattened end about .5 inch when shot through water. Not sure I want to do that again though. not sure you want to file the tip or use the plate...

snkbittin

Taper crimp them for the .38-40. The Lee FCD can fracture the thin plating if overdone. No crimp is needed if the sizing die and expander dimentions give a good tight friction fit, a.k.a. Bullet pull. Keep velocitys below 1K in most cases. yes but the Lee is adjustable from nothing to bone crunchin...

snkbittin

Watch your velocity. I think that the plated bullets are limited to about 1200 fps. You already know about no crimp. Are the noses flat enough for feeding through a tubular rifle magazine or are you loading them just for revolvers? Jack Yes Jack flat nose...they would be going thru a 92...you can r...

snkbittin

just curious if you can load up using bullet heads intended for 10MM/.40 Smith
Lee factory crimp die solves the no crimp grove
my son shoots stuff loads of 40 smith and has plated and jacketed bullets due to the Polygonal barrels in the HK's
and i can grab some when i need
