Ran onto not one but two first generation Colt SAAs last week. One in 38 Special is a mix of parts but frame, grip frame, etc numbers match. Real pearl grips. Been polished to death. But I got it with a 32WCF that is really good condition but without finish. I'm usually a big caliber guy but...

I ran across a video a bit ago that took a long loading lever and modified it to make a detachable to load a 60 Army stub nose with cylinder on the gun. It's not in English but that's not a problem.

October 3 I shot a Cowboy Action Shooting match with three 44WCF loaded with black powder that I made. Not as powerful as store bought but it got the job done. The Marlin 1894 was a pre-safety that was a 44 Magnum. I swapped the barrel out for one in 44WCF. The Colt Frontier Six Shooter was...

It's hard to chase down but is this the go to puck press mold? https://www.woodysrocks.com/store/p275/Black_Powder_Puck_Press.html#/ Looking at the simple $55 kit. Also, how big of a bottle jack do I need? Any alternatives?

Last Sunday I made a video where I'm shooting a Uberti Sheriff's 44WCF Grafs FFg through a 3" barrel. The three cameras were set at 30fps so didn't often catch the fireball.

I recently bought a Cimarron S&W American first model in 44WCF. I has heard that the Uberti reproduction was difficult to shoot with black powder loads. So I shot 30 rounds loaded with Grafs FFg. And 30 rounds loaded with BlackMZ.

In early April I picked up what sold as a Marlin 1892 32 rimfire. It was complete but in neglected shape. I cleaned it up, rechambered it to 32 S&W and made repairs.

For the last month or so I've been playing mad scientist with potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur. I'm getting usable results but it's laborious, dirty, time consuming task. I'm upgrading my equipment in small increments and refining my process but still not very productive. Why bother...

Maybe a reloading topic but I figure pure (or at least soft) lead is often used with black powder muzzle loaders, this video may be of interest here. On other forums, people are struggling to find components of all kinds. Some people are scrounging for lead and taking up casting for the...

Sometimes you just have to try things and see how it works.

I bought a pair of used Uberti Cattleman revolvers online. Got them and first shots they locked up. I quickly discovered that there was a concentric crater around the firing pin hole. The primers would bulge out into the crater and lock up the gun. Naturally, the guy I bought them from swore...

I've been shooting a restored Baker 10 gauge double. After a long and fruitless search, the only hulls I could get were new Cheddite. They came primed. After firing them the first time, I'm reloading them with Winchester 209 primers. I can push the primers in with my thumb to full depth most...

Many years ago I did a lot of part time gunsmithing. I started by working on my own guns but soon buddies would bring me their guns to fix. It kept escalating until I was doing a lot of stock work, drilling and tapping, glass beding, general repairs. I obtained an FFL and charged for my...

I've been loading 12 guage light loads for the past several months without a problem. Last week I bought 500 Winchester AA gray Super Handicap hulls supposedly once fired. Of the first 25, I had two misfires. I measured the primer depth on the two misfired shells and found the depth to be...

I recently closed a deal on a a Winchester 1897 12 gauge. I don't know much ahout the model 1897. This one is a "C" series in the 200000 serial number range that from what I can find out was manufactured in1902. I first saw the gun the day after Thanksgiving last fall. From a few feet...

I've been loading up 12 gauge plastic hulls with black powder and Pyrodex. All have been 7/8 oz loads with charges ranging from 40-60 by volume. Mostly I've been using Claybuster gray wads with and without over powder card. I've also loaded and shot some with over powder card and wad of...

I stuck a Tasco scope on a rifle and when I went to sight it in, the cap covering the turret adjustment was very tight. In fact, so tight the turret unscrewed from the body. RATS! It looked to be a new scope I'd got in a trade many years ago. Anyway, I went to plan B and installed a Tasco...

I have a friend that's in and out of the scrap business. I asked him if he ever comes across lead. He didn't come up with that answer but he did say he had a half full 5 gallon bucket of babbitt. He said the bucket was too heavy to pick up and indicated we could make a trade. I looked up...
