It would be too hard to figure on one that is the best or favoritw since I shoot and use a lot of mine regularly . IF I had to whittle it down to one , and since the 45/70 is my favorite cartridge id have to say my Marlin VERY early made 1972 , 1895 Ballard cut., would be the one i'd use the most an...

YUP you never forget the stones especially the first one . Big sky actually its the opposite the calcium does NOT get pulled from the bones. majority of stones are calcium/oxalate. Some people can not process the oxalates as well as others, and then crystals are formed which bind to the calcium and ...

After 35 years of reloading even though it takes MUCH LONGER I charge an individual case then seat the bullet IN THAT CASE Just for that reason I DO NOT charge a whole tray of ready cases then go to the seating process its the way I have seen MOST over charges to occur with a th 3 grains of BUllesey...

Handis all have there quirks .They are disigned to be utilitarian pieces and not the best money can buy. ALL can be im proved on with out much trouble . When bench shooting make sure the gun it rested on the receiver area NOT THE FORE ARM it will shoot much better groups that way . MOST of the light...

I Have been loading that for almost 30 years now Its ALWAYS an accurate load in every revolver I have ever tried and also in two different two shot derringers .

Stock designs on the newer M99s has always been a problem. Dont know many people who have owned 99s in 308 that did NOT complain about the recoil. My older model is not a problem and that is with a crescent butt plate . I have known several people who have replaced their stocks with after market one...

I am one who will have to say "Whats the point?" except to say you did it. A bullet that light in a 45/cal is almost a round ball so the BC cant be good enough to get any thing extra out of the velocity for distance shooting . Its lke any thing else in firearms if I want to get 2800 FPs ou...

Thanks Scott for the quick reply I wanted to be sure because mine is a 26 IN barrel also and knowing your success with the BP I wanted to try to do the same thing I have shot BP in this gun before but not without a lot of unburned powder I think the answer may lie in your using a much heavier bullet...
