+1 on what Rusty said. I use the tungston carbide core out of 30 calibre AP bullets which are easier to find than the 50 cal. version.

Also, correct that a drill press will greatly improve your probability of success. Good luck.

These are very easy actions on which to do trigger jobs. Lighter return spring, polishing of sear surfaces while maintaining angles and a short piece of rod to limit trigger overtravel. Have you considered a do it yourself project?

I had an old model single six reblued by the factory some years ago. They did a very nice job. But I would not let them "upgrade" it. If they will not do the reblue without the conversion, find an outside shop to do the reblue. I have a number of old models. None are upgraded, nor will the...

I use a 1000 watt plate. However, your 500 watt plate should work. It will just take a while longer.

I believe yours shoots better than mine. I tried a variety of ammo (high and standard velocity) and the best I can do is just under 1.5 inches, 5 shots at 50 yards. However, I have not tried subsonic, hyper velocity or target rounds. I did try using an Accurizer - no success. That is with a Williams...

If voting really made a difference, the feds would make it illegal.

I do much better with aperture sights. My preference is a Marbles tang sight.

This season I plan on hunting deer and hogs with three guns. 1. Browning 1886 45-70. Rem. 300 gr. JHP, 57 gr. IMR 4895, CCI 200 primers, R-P brass. Velocity, 2000 fps. 2. Rossi M 92 45 Colt. Hornady 250 gr. JHP-XTP, 28 gr. IMR 4198, Fed. 150 primers, R-P brass. Velocity, 1475 fps. 3. Win. BB 375 Win...

Governance at the consent of the governed, a fundamental concept of our founding fathers, died at Appomattox. Before April 1865, we were citizens of our State and country; after, we are but subjects of the federal empire.
