Ok everyone, thanks for your input. Im well aware that 296, 2400, unique and alot of the others are good powders for the 44 mag. I simply asked if anyone had any experience with it utilizing RL 7 since it is apparently used in the 45 colt and also the fact that i will have quite alot of it on hand ...

like clitton said, because he could.

It is hard to beat what H110/296 does in a 44 mag for jacketed bullets & lead full house loads. And what Unique does for mid-range load, also jacketed & lead loads. Ive used both for years and i agree but i have coming quite a bit of reloader 7 for use in my 45-70 and 45 colt so i want to f...

I read with interest about Paco's loads for the 45 colt using reloader 7. Has anyone developed any 44 mag loads utilizing this powder or is it suitable?

How long does brass last? Or ….. …. How many times can I reload it? We have all read and been asked these questions by new shooters and hand loaders. Well, here is a little story about one box of Winchester .45 Colt brass. I got my first center fire revolver March 15th 1975. With it I purchased a 5...

Had a succesful trip to Bass Pro Shops last night, which resulted in a .44 mag and .357 Hornady die set, some boxes of LeverRevolution 45/70 and 30-30 ammo, a couple of boxes of somewhat overpriced projectiles (not too bad -- i am experimenting with loads, so i just wanted small quantities) Asked a...

I have .44 Mag , .45 LC and .45-70 lever guns . The .45 LC is a rossi Puma , the other two are Marlins . Was considering loading the .45 LC hotter than SAMI . But I read an article about doing this . It recommended against it . It said .45 LC brass is not as strong as .44 Mag brass , buy a large ma...

I too used to go the the del mar show. Last time was a year ago (hadnt been in 5 years prior) i thought maybe it had changed. it had, for the worse. The only thing i found were primers and the rest was pure junk. no guns but just junk.

gary, Thanks for the info. Now I hope they fit, or at least need minimal fitting. Joe Joe, one other item you might try, it's called deft, comes in clear and i think satin. i use it occasionally to touch up handgun grips that get knocked around getting in and our of the car. it's a spray on finish ...

The financial crunch is a definite consideration. I don't go shooting much because of it. The indoor range gun shop I go to has been keeping a small stock of primers and tells me he can't keep up with the buyers. Same story we all hear. When I go there I've been picking up a 1000 or two each time I...

I'm kicking myself now for all the spent primers I've tossed over the years! :shock: Me too. i have about 8000 large rifle and 7k large pistol, 2k small pistol so it's not like im out but i sure wish i had more. Look on gunbroker, i couldnt believe it. They are bidding up to 90 bucks for a carton n...

Thanks, Mike. I'm almost completely decided upon the lighter round for stability reasons and owing to the moderate size of the game. But I will be interested to see what happens. John, is your guide gun scoped? The reason im asking is that if not you might have a devil of a time getting barnes bull...

Dont kick yourself too hard Joe. You must have had a good reason why you didnt sign. i was drafted in 68 and i had two high school friends who were also drafted. One had braces put on his teeth prior to his induction and they cut him loose (lame excuse i know but true) the other consumed alcohol for...

I did just that with a dummy round, with a coal 2.530 it just touches the rifling in the 1886 and plenty of room in the 1895G. Hi Salvo, i use to order from oregon trail frequently and they are fine bullets for the 45-70. They just got a little expensive. i have driven them up to 1800 fps in my cow...

i have a friend who is in to swedish mausers and doesnt reload. Someone helped me find data on his 6.5 mm mauser but now im looking for data on the 8mm utilizing H-335 powder and the hornady 220 grain soft point. Can anyone direct me? Ive looked at hornadys data and they have alot but nothing using ...

Huh... why? I feel for you. I usually get 5 or 6 sinus infections every year. No fun. I woke up last night shortly after 1:00am, having got the stomach flu that ripped through our family last week. I thought I had escaped without getting it, but no such luck. Was up the rest of the night either sit...

I have Starline,Winchester and Remington brass in .45 Colt. I have no complaint with any of it. It seems that Starline is a little tougher and that it don`t obturate as easy as others and needs a little hotter loads to seal the chamber against blowback of gas. :D I concur about the warmer loads usi...

We went out Saturday afternoon. On the way into the farm I took this pic. Check out the doe in air over the fence. http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q241/Bitmaps_photos/2008-2009%20hunting/Brandonshunt025-1.jpg We got in there and I took this pic over the hood of the truck. http://i138.photobucket...

i too would be interested in the 1886. i think i would personally wait for Paco or jeff to test one out before i would buy it. I would want to be sure about the rifle's strength, durability etc.

Anybody do this? A post below where someone was looking to "custom" up his Marlin Cowboy I directed him to Clements website. I had his basic upgrade done a couple of years ago and while reading his services he now glassbeds the stock. It wasn't part of the package when I had my done. So I...

Mac, Sixgun's Unique load is a classic and an excellent one. I fiddled with 2400 and settled on 21 grs. with a 400-430 gr. soft cast bullet. Excellent accuracy and about 1330 fps. Basically a black powder equivalent load without the mess. Glenn i too tried 21 grains of 2400. alot cleaner then uniqu...

wandered over to have morning coffee at the local range. Put the target at 50 yards. Pulled out the Winchester Trapper in .45LC. Had the scope set for some hot loads, but today I was shooting some gentle Ten-X cowboy loads. The first few shots were about 8 inches high and 3 inches to the left. Adju...

I dont think you'll regret getting an 1895 cb. mine is more accurate than any 22 rifle ive ever owned, easy to carry when in the field, just a pleasure to shoot.

Jeff, is their a ballpark $$ amount on the replica 1886's? MSRP $1399. With the price of the Browning 1886s going thru the roof this price does not sound bad. I wonder how the metallurgy compares between the Japanese Browning, and Italian Chiappa, can the Chiappa handle the same loads as the Browni...

As most know already, the Pumas will now be built by Chiappa of Italy. They have a couple of .45/70 1886 Winchester replicas. A Model 92 replica Chuck Connors Commemortive, .44 WCF, big loop, and the little flapper to fire the gun each time the lever is closed. A "Bounty Hunter", similar ...

Heres the results of 12 hours in the woods yesterday. The morning started out at 15 degrees, maybe not cold to some of you guys, but cold to me especially for November. Got this guy with 10 minutes of shooting light left. I had to prove to my son that this is still my rifle. http://i271.photobucket...

Thanks much, that helps alot.

Off topic a bit but does anyone have a fairly recent hornady book listing the 6.5 mm swedish mauser? Im looking for the correct col for the hornady 100 grain bullet. Not my gun but helping a friend.

the owner of our local reloading store insisted I use magnum primers for .357. I read that they elevate pressure by 10%, don't know how true that is. But they were more accurate for me. With 2400 some people have issues with unburnt kernels and it seems the magnum primers would help with that. I he...

I've been loading 45 Colts, 45 ACP, 45 AR, for over 30 years. I've rarely purchased magnum primers. The other day I bought a 1000 Federal LP primers and never noticed the box said 155 Magnum.
