Good to hear that it’s not discontinued. I am getting low myself and would hate to do without.

Thanks for sharing. I have never seen any of these H & R rifles. Looks like a good project.

Thanks Scott and everyone for sharing your experiences on fire lapping. I have a couple of .45 Colt Vaqueros that needs me to get out there and do this.
Good thread!

You could also try Homestead Parts https://homesteadparts.com/shop/
or
Old Arms of Idaho https://oldarmsofidaho.com/

Original 1886 parts may work, but I have no idea. May be worth the research.

There is a push in Indianna to start rezoning property for "15-minute cities". I am sure it is going on any many other places. Here is a link to a youtube video.

My new "Go to" penetrating oil is "Free All" . It can be purchased at O' Reillys Auto Parts Stores around here. It will get carbon out of a rifle bore like none other
that I have tried. That being said, I have never tried Kroil so I can't compare.

I like my Lyman 450. Each brand will have its own minor learning curve so not sure what translates to the Lachmiller machine. But once you get it figured out it runs smooth. You lube and size a bullet quickly, and without any lube on the nose. Lyman and RCBS dies and top punches interchange. I've f...

Happy New Year guys!

Thanks for all the feedback fellers. That is exactly what I was looking for. I think I will clean this rig up and try to make good use out of it. If I remember correctly it was given to me when I purchased a bunch of reloading components from a guy who bought them at an auction. I also have a few ol...

I remembered today that I have some kind of lubrisizer under my reloading bench. Pulled it out and it is a Lachmiller lube a matic. I have done a little research on the net today and found out it is the pre-curser to the RCBS lube a matic. I have never used one before and don't know much about them....

I was hoping it was RL-23. I have been looking for some for 3 or 4 years. They say it’s magic in a 7 REM. Mag

I have an old Interarms pre-safety Rossi .357 20 inch carbine I bought used around 2001 or 2 for a backup rifle when I was shooting SASS. At that time I had never heard of Steve’s Gunz so I ordered a spring kit ( I think Lee??) from the Dillon monthly flyer for it. Before I installed the springs I s...

Nice family! Thanks for sharing.

I was one of those kids!! Yuck. I would still be at the table refusing to eat the small piece of liver until my Mom was done washing all the dishes but mine and then she would let me go. Sixty years plus later I still don’t want any. Don’t like duck or dove either.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. We have some pretty nice waterfalls here in the Ozark National Forest, that is in some pretty rugged terrain that the hike in will warm you up.

Thanks Rube. Nice rifle and video. I like it more for its potential "All weather durability". I don't like to get my wood and blue Winchesters and Brownings wet.

Ha HA great story! You could call that a marathon!
I have not ever had the chance to look over a Star firearm. Looks well made.
My 9 mm 1911 Springfield likes Bluedot and a 124 JHP Sig bullet ( I think it is a Sierra mfr.)

Nice plinker for sure! I load a commercial cast 115 grain cast bullet (make sure to get them with the crimp groove) over 4 grains of Unique. I used my 1892 Winchester carbine with that load to win several matches of Cowboy Pistol caliber silhouette, though it would only knock the Rams over at 100 yd...

[quote=JBowen post_id=1002989 time=1730745011 user_id=. The prep job I hate the most is case trimming and primer pocket swagging. JBowen Amen to that brother!

I am not expecting anything violence in my rural area. That being said, I am prepared for the worst and like Bill am praying for our leaders and for peace.

My favorite cartridge(s) to load are the straight wall rimmed pistol cartridges like the 45 colt, 44 mag and the 38 spec. and 357 mag. I don’t mind any of the rifle from 25-35, 30-30 to 444, 308w & 30-06. Least favorite are the 32-20 & 218 Bee because they are small and fragile. The prep job...

Nice. Looks like good groups to me. You didn't mention if you used a rest or what type. I like to evaluate leading by checking after I run an oily patch down the bore to remove most of the soot and lube. You can see any minor leading then. I have loads that will give a very fine lead wash in the gr...

JBowen

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun. Now to cast up a few hundred of each and to keep searching for the best loads, and then for my many other calibers.
Do you every get caught up?
