      Rolling block.

      Ok. Thanks for that. It was a legitimate question, and that was an honest answer.

      125 grain plated .38 Special

      I have loaded green dot in small handgun rounds for years, mostly 38s... Very light light recoil, and they're accurate enough to hit my 11x14 ringers at 100 yards. As long as they function the gun, I'll probably use them in the 9mm. I will be test firing those before I go berserk on the...

      125 grain plated .38 Special

      I'm loading Unique in the.38s . I've loaded green dot in 38s , easy on the wrist,but I'm looking for a little more umph.. I'm thinking that the green dot will be a better fit in the 9mm. Any experience with that?

      Gunsmith suggestions

      Are there any good gunsmiths in North West Indiana?

      Who did your barrel work?

      Rolling block.

      I always load for trapdoor pressures, and over the counter 45-70 loads should be safe in any rolling block. The bore in this is exceptionally good (for a gun builtin 1875) with deep rifling and a few small pits. I've shot side by side with a Pedersoli sharps, shared my ammo, and had nearly...

      Rolling block.

      I'm in NW Indiana. I have a pretty good idea what it is. There are arsenal markings on it. There is an alignment mark on the barrel/receiver ... And the extractor face has two holes in it, meaning that it was converted from rimfire to center-fire. All those clues indicate that it's a 11.7x56. I...

      Rolling block.

      I have an old rolling block rifle that is hard to find brass for. I believe it's Danish / 11.7 x 56r... I can make brass but it would be cheaper and easier to just use 45-70 brass. Is there someone who can reline just the chamber, and not the whole barrel? Any ideas are appreciated.

      Flitz polish.

      Flitz polish.

      Well, 3 days of soaking in mineral spirits did the trick. I also found that brakekleen works instantly . Saved my brass. And my sanity.

      Lee mold numbers

      No .. a bunch of their numbers are 5 or 6 digits, starting with 9... I have several that are no longer on their list. I have not used them in years but I would like to...

      Lee mold numbers

      Apparently, it was too much trouble to stamp the bullet diameter and weight on their bullet molds ,but Lee did put an id number on them. I found a list of their new/for sale mold numbers, but not their old single cavity and discontinued molds. Where do you find that???

      Alox for lube.

      I'm still not absolutely sure what's in this stuff, but while I was working with it , I had one of those smell related flashbacks. My mother used carnauba wax on all her old floors. I'm pretty sure that I'm smelling the same thing. So far, I think the fluid is acetone, which smells like...

      Alox for lube.

      So... I finally found that old can of bullet lube. I coated some.45 Lead bullets, easy peasey. Poured in a small amount, maybe a third of a cup. Poured it over some bullets and shake/ tumbled until they were dark charcoal colored. Poured the batch into a colander over another bowl to catch the...

      What have you done this week to prep? PART II

      Cast about 85 pounds of pistol bullets and some round balls . I told the Wife that I have to get everything reloaded by April, or I wouldn't be able to help with outside chores... I've let my shooting skills lapse over the last 7 years and I need to get sharp again... Too old to fight and too...
