Sorry for your loss Nath.,,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Good shooting!

Dusty Texian

Thanks rjohns94, and sorry for the poor picture quality. That leather pouch holds(10) 45/60 wcf cartridges. The magazine on this half mag. holds (3) and one in the pipe . The extra ammo is for the times I run across a pack of wild hogs. I shoot them until they are gone. We are overrun with wild hogs...

Congratulations, beautiful buck and photograph! ,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

My condolences Bill. Your little friend knew he was loved, and loved you . That makes for a great life. All any of us can ask for.,,DT

Dusty Texian

That is very good shooting from a great old classic. Those old Merwin Hulbert pistols were ahead of thier time. And if you ran out of ammo you could show them another way to use it. With that Scull Cracker grip! ,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Great story ! A very Cool family treasure. ,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Dusty Texian

Dusty, A very nice piece of Winchester history added to your collection! Thank you for sharing. Just wondering if your Accurate Mold has arrived? Tom sure does nice work. At last count I have 9 of his molds in .30 - .45 caliber and they all have been very well made. Regarding the fouling issue, mos...

Dusty Texian

What a critter! Wouldnt want to step on his toes!!!,,DT

Dusty Texian

Mighty Good shooting Nath!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Wow what a hunting rifle!!!!!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Dang thats purdy!!!!DT

Dusty Texian

Nice ! !!!!!!!

Dusty Texian

Gamekeeper it takes a lot of guts to come out and admit something like that! I'll keep you in my thoughts ,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Hey Plowbow 45, a bunch of my pards have the Uberti Henry fifles and like them . Is this one you ask about a steel frame or the brass frame? Does it have the sling loops ( military model) civilian model does not have the sling loops. If the rifle is in Good shooting condition ,It is well worth the a...

Dusty Texian

Now that is a Magazine worth reading ! ,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

I loaded up more of the same bullet /load combo as the last post, the only change is that a small ammount of olive oil was added to the lube mix. Nath suggested that change and I will give it a try on my next shoot. Am looking forward to getting the 433-205C mold in from Accurate Molds. If the rifle...

Dusty Texian

Good looking rifle and the pics came out good .,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Just wondering if with the accuracy dropping off if the lube is too stiff, how about adding a tiny amount of olive oil. Look for a wet black sheriff's badge on the muzzle crown. If it is dry your running dry! Do remove any mineral oil from the bore too, with bp! N :) Nath I have used olive oil in t...

Dusty Texian

Shasta I just put in an order for the same mold that you ordered . The 433 205C three cavity alumimum , 0.433 body dia. Look forward to getting some bullets cast and give the 433-205C a try. ,,,DT

You just Joshin me now ait Ya Buck!!!!!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Thanks for all of the Moose Pictures. What a massive creature. I only hope one day before I get to old!!!,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Shasta that is some fine shooting! I agree with southfork that is a very interesting smokeless load Reloader7. That old 73 looks mighty fine to me!!!,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Shasta I like the look of that bullet. Looks like it holds plenty of lube a lot like the big lube bullet I was shooting yesterday. That may be the one I order #43-205C. That three bullet mold should add up a pile of bullets quick. What kind of accuracy are you getting from your 28" 73 ?,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

That's a great looking old Winchester with some rare options. And it shoots good too! :mrgreen: You remind me of forum member Shrapnel for having such fine old Winchesters that you actually use as intended. I have a 28" barreled '73 in .44-40 that was made in 1880, but it ain't near so nice lo...

Dusty Texian

2 Bore my goodnes ,Whatch where you point that thang!!! That is a very fine looking 86 , the figure in the wood is superb! The 67 is Cool ! Life is Good !!!!!! ,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Nice looking pistol plowboy 45.Think Ya done good! There are folks out there that fix them. If you Google repair 1877 Colt you can fid some info on it. Hope to hear Ya got her shooting soon.,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Today the old 76 rifles were left at home and the old 1873 Winchester 28"Heavy octagon barrel set trigger 44wcf. was dusted off for some range shooting. A good freind had sent me some Mav Dutchman .44 bullets he had cast for a test in the long barrel 73. These bullets carry a very large lube gr...

Dusty Texian

Thanks for all of the replies , Mr. M. M. Wright I agree Sir, the old rifles are made for just that! hondo 1892 , the Lyman sight on my 40/60wcf rifle is the modern version of the DA . Works perfect ! As for that carbine ,You know I'm Trying to Quit!!!! ,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Dusty another good looking old gal. Do you know if a Lyman tang sight for an 1886 would fit the 1876? I know my shooting would be better with a tang sight than just the plain open sights. Nice shooting. hondo 1892 ,Not sure about that. On one of my 1876 40/60wcf rifles that get's hunted almost as m...

The Model of 1876 Winchester has been one of my favorite firearms to collect , load and shoot hunt with and just have around to admire, from time to time. One of my favorite 76 rifles happens to be a very late 3rd. model 28" oct. barrel full mag. plain trigger 45/75 wcf cal. For many yrs now th...

Dusty Texian

Hondo 1892 cutting that 4" off the barrel will help with the lube / fouling situation. So will the Swiss Bp. On my 22" and 24" 76 rifles I can get as many as 25 shots in before accuracy falls off. Accuracy falls off a bit earlier with the 28" 76 rifles. Your milage may vary a bit...

Dusty Texian

76 Shooters, Brothers at heart!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Sounds like a good day. The last few guns shows I have attended had only a small portion of guns interesting for me. It seems the trend towards black guns and modern tatical firearms is growing and the traditionalist style is srinking. Not against the modern trend just not my cup of tea! Was brought...

Dusty Texian

That is a good looking sight. The bead works for me better. I seem to be able to focus better with the bead. Always liked the Rocky Mnt. style sight and thats what came on the old 76 I just wrote about, looks cool but I do not do my best with that type. I like the style you made . PS forgot to menti...

Dusty Texian

Now that is a good looking rifle! Along with some good shooting. I like what the stocks look like ! That fiddel and butternut color is just Beautiful ! If you get a chance would like to see a pic. up close of that front sight. PS. that 24" barrel is handy Aint it !,,,DT
