Re: The MicPherson 454 Casull Rossi Puma Letter of Provenance

I wasn't aware that they had only made 100 of the 480s. I'll probably leave it as a 480 then.

That Stainless one on GunBroker sure looks tempting.
I wish the 45 Colt that I have had a faster twist in the barrel, but it seems to shoot fine with 275s.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate the details.
I will probably reinforce the wrist area of the butt stock with epoxied in brass machine screws, or all thread. I did this on the 470NE double I built and it held up fine.

Re: The MicPherson 454 Casull Rossi Puma Letter of Provenance

That was quite an extensive list of mods to your rifle! I am about to pick up a Puma in 480. Would it be possible to get a couple of close up pics of the inside of your action showing the breach, loading gate, lifter and cartridge guides? I was talking with John Linebaugh several years back and he m...

Re: Thinning out the dogs

Hi TedH, looks like way too much fun. I think I may need to try one.
What kind of batteries does the scope and IR Illuminator use?
Is this the one that will hookup to your phone via Bluetooth to record video?

Re: Re-lubing bullets...?

The mixture is from Recluse on castboolits Equal parts of liquid Alox and Johnson's Paste Wax. Melt them together, then add mineral spirits to thin it out some. 45% Liquid Alox, 45% JPW, 10% Mineral Spirits Works well on conventional and tumble lube designs. I lubed a pile of 265 lfn style 45 cal bu...

Re: Re-lubing bullets...?

I prefer the 45-45-10 mix to the straight liquid alox. It dries hard and doesn't load up on your seating stem like other liquid lubes do. It also only needs a very light coat to perform well.
