Nice!!! Looks like a handy little Jeep gun.,,,,DT

Dusty, you must be buying up all the old 76 Winchesters out there. That is another fine looking rifle for your collection though. Good shooting. I think just before purchasing that one , I said ( That is the last one ). I just cant pass it up. Well you know the rest. You wouldnt happen to have one ...

Dusty Texian

Thanks for all of the comments fellows. I was hoping Y'all would enjoy seeing the old rifle ,as much as I do.,,,DT

Dusty Texian

This old Winchester Model 1876 28" rb. 45/60wcf came along a few wks ago, and it is the oldest of my 1876 Winchesters (circa 1877). The outside appearance shows a life of use but not abuse. The mechanics and bore are in better than normal condition. The old rifle was found in Oregon . I wish I ...

Looks like a good old 92 , I like it !!!,,DT

Dusty Texian

Good shooting Nath!

I decided to check the black powder levels in some .38-40 cases I have. Note the difference in the densities between Goex and Swiss. I don't have any .38-40 Starline brass but R-P .44-40 brass holds about 2 more grs of powder than .44-40 Starline brass. Image I would expect that 36 grs by weight of...

Same here down Texas way, just wish them pellets big as grapefriut would soften up a bit before getting to my place . But I aint complaining!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Hey Smokenrust, for what its worth. I have an original 1876 Winchester 40/60wcf that had a horrible bore in it when I purchased the rifle. The barrel had been cut-down to 22" . I re-lined the barrel and chose a ROT of 1 turn in 22" it slugs out @ just under 0.406. I realize you are conside...

Dusty Texian

A fine example of ( Getting to big for your britches ) ( If you cant stand the heat ' get out of the kitchen) What will they think of next?,,,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Hello 5thCavalry. I cannot be a help on your question about old and new 1886 parts. But wanted to say those are some very worthy projects you have going there. Bringing back old 73s and 76s has been one of my hobbies for many yrs. Hope you keep posting your progress. ,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

that's A GOOD fIND!!!!!,,,DT

Dusty Texian

76's for sure. The cartridges look like 45/75's . Very good photograph.,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Good shooting ! And a nice looking .44 Hog thumper!!!,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

I have no experience with Duplex loading , so cant help you there Shasta. But I do shoot an original 1873 Winchester 28" oct. barrel .44wcf cal. The bore on my rifle has very good lands and some small pitting in the grooves a not perfect barrel but not bad. I did not notice what Brand of Bp. yo...

Dusty Texian

A great job w30wcf. Your reports on reloading are outstanding ! Thank You for your time and effort. ,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Pard that is a very fine rifle you have there. That should be a very good shooter. What a great platform to test 44wcf loads. I look forward to a range report on this one. ,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Sure did not laugh at your expense Bill. The laugh was how true that statement fit me! I may try one a day then work up to two. ,,,,,,DT

Dang Bill,now that's funny!!!

Dusty Texian

I started shooting Dad's 94 when I was 9 years old. I remember it smacking me pretty good. I imagine there is a market for reduced recoil 30-30 ammo to make shooting more fun for little folks starting out, or don't handload. My Grandson Brylen has been shooting his family hand me down 94 carbine 30...

Dusty Texian

nralover ,if I had to gamble on one of the three you have left to pick from. It would be a used 50s through 70s Marlin . Although I am a Winchester man ,I would bout Guaranty that it will Not Let You Down! ,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Looks good Griff! I like the thin fore end better. Should be a handy little rifle in 44M.,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Happy Birthday Amigo!!!!!

DT, That's really cool....not many parents today (Read...the female half) would go along with that at 9 years old. But, my little brain did get to thinking......seems to me your dad and your son (not sure if you have one) got the short end of the stick as its every other generation who gets the gun...

His message is so clear to us hunters. Unless they have made their minds up to be against hunting , before they know the facts. His message should be just as clear to the anti hunters!,,,,,,,DT

Today My oldest Grandson Brylen turns 9 yrs. old. When I was 9yrs. old my Grandfather OWW. gave me his single barrel 12 Ga. shotgun that he has owned since he was 9yr. old, @1923 with the instructions that I was to hand it down to my oldest Grandson on his 9th. Birthday. The day Paw Paw gave this sh...

Well done ! That will be some great eating!,,,DT

I'm with game keeper ,that was a Great trip! That full stock Swede looks mighty good.,,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Hey Sixgun, I have found the little .32 will shoot very good with many different loads , smokeless and bp. It really likes 5.5gr.of #2400 under that 90 gr. bullet. With that load it will cut 10 shot ragged holes at 25yd. And do golf ball size groups at 50yd. I have installed a tang peep on it since ...

Dusty Texian

Here are .32 LC on the left and .22LR for comparison. The .32 LC. is loaded with the 299-153 90gr. bullet. It drops small game on the spot!

Dusty Texian

The Ideal tong tool in .32 S&W was not designed to reload the .32LC heeled bullet , but it works just fine for me. I turned a new de-capping pin for the tool and LC. case, so now I can de-cap neck-size the brass an re-prime and seat the heeled bullet all with this tool. I do not speed shoot this...

Dusty Texian

1892 Marlin in .32 is one of the (in my book) best woods walking lever gun to come along. It is very light to carry has plenty of power with its 90gr.heeled bullet. And is very quiet. A couple of yrs. back I did some load development for my little .32 with tremendous help from w30wcf I was able to g...

Dusty Texian

That is a sure enough buck! ,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

A very nice 95 and cartridge . I am a .40 cal. fan. Would be very interested in knowing what the bore slugs out at and how the test loads do. Very Cool !,,,,,,DT

Dusty Texian

Hello w30wcf. Sorry for the delay replying ,have been chasing Wt. with my 9yr. old Grandson, for the past 5 days. He reminded me at that age you never sleep in or get out to early, or get tired .Youth a wonderful thing but Hard on an old man. Brylen is 9yr.old and this is his first yr. to get to hun...
