Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
They are great-looking rifles. I was seriously considering one in .32-20. One thing that gives me pause, though, is that the stock has a lot more drop than I like. I guess I need to handle one. Thanks. For open sights work they seem to fit fine. If you installed a period correct type scope such as ...

Yes it is. I added the Marbles tang and Lyman 17 front sight to make it more useful.Cimarron Red wrote:SS,

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
w30wcf, The groundhog shot has not been repeated sadly. The expression on the face of the guys i was with was worth money though :D The rifle is capable. It's the loose nut behind it that causes the problems. The 260gr 45 bullet looks good. Had it been me, I would have increased the degree of the lu...

Re: Old-Time bullet lubricants
Will plain ole' lard do as a bullet lubricant? Lard's just hog fat/grease cooled down to a paste consistency. Well, that's my understanding. Then there's suet, which I don't understand. Believe tallow is like lard only from cattle. Don Rendered lard is highly acidic to the point of being corrosive ...

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
w30wcf, Nice rifles and VERY nice shooting! I like to stretch the legs of them also. The picture of the low wall leaning against the hay bale was taken during a groundhog hunt last year. Shooting off of cross sticks I managed to miss one standing at just under 200 yards (laser rangefinder) and then ...

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
Yep, fouling is a tough one to get by with pistol calibers due to the lack of grease grooves found in the rifle. My first loads that I used in my 45 colt Low Wall were with Swiss1.5f and even with it's 30" barrel, I could go 25 - -30rounds with no trouble at all. Goex will go 20 rounds through ...

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
SS, Since the Keith SWC is longer in the nose than a normal .45 bullet, do you seat it to crimp over the driving band or crimp it into the band? This is something I'm really curious about because I do like the Henry replicas and one day am gonna get me one. (Griff's iron framed one makes me drool e...

KIK shows great potential. Since goex discontinued cartridge grade and I am down to 33-34 pounds left, I pay attention to the results shown with KIK. Thanks for posting that dandy shooting.

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
Sharpshooter, I was curious about how you got your Uberti 73 to function with SWC's? I've always heard the toggle link actions did not do to well with them. Joe Ii have no problems with them in mine. True I am not attempting ten rounds in ten seconds. Still, I work the lever and it functions on dem...

Re: Black Powder In Your Levergun?
A great performing load and some outstanding shooting if you ask me! What kind of case blowback/sooting are you seeing? Can you show us some fired cases? Thanks, Oly I get very little if any soot. I feel like it is because the bullet's diameter is .455 and it already has the case expanded to nearly...

Black Powder In Your Levergun?
Anyone use Black Powder in their levergun? Most, if not all past and current chamberings are suitable for it. I have for the most part given smokeless the boot from my loading supplies and only keep enough to feed an 03 Springfield, a Krag cut-down, a 1911 and my son's .243 Everything gets fed cast....
