Re: your best 45 colt loads
Resurrecting a thread from 2012 but it is a very interesting discussion about the use of 18-18.5 gr of 2400 in the .45 Colt. A bit contentious at times but it was an interesting read. I could see that being a thing in a Ruger but it does not sound like anything I will be feeding my Colts or Italian...

Re: Winchester 94 30-30 SR # 4262XXX
Anyway, I've been told that this vintage of Winchesters used metal that may not be weldable, truth or myth? I think some of the receivers of this era were sintered and then iron plated to take the finish. Maybe that's what you're referring to. I might be wrong. There are plenty of 1894 people here ...

Hi Eddie, The 86 breechbolt has the cutout for a cartridge guide spur on the right side (that semi-circular one). The Model 71 cartridge guide lacks the top spur so no cutout was needed.

Looks like a m71 bolt . They quit making the '86 in 1935 and didn't make the bolt peep until 1936 . How is the sight marked ? The locking lugs on the m71 were tapered , the lugs on the '86 were not.
