Old Fuff, thanks for that advice, but here is the situation. My Ruger OA's are brand new, never even been fired at all. My cap and ball cylinder functions flawlessly. It has to be a problem with the R&D. I contacted Buffalo Arms today, and am sending both of them back. One does not fit...

Its over shooting, meaning that it is going to far to the right and the hammer will not strike the firing pin. It works great if I go slowly, but with any speed it goes to far.

I got one of the conversion cylinders to fit, just a little adjusting. But now when I cock the hammer, it only lines up with the firing pin if I do it very slowly. This is not going to work well when the timer is running. Any suggestions?

I just received the two conversion cylinders for my pair of Ruger Old Army revolvers, neither one fit! I have contacted R&D to try and find out if any permanent alterations will have to be made to the pistol frame in order for them to work. If so, than I am sending them back. I found the...

My goal is to use 100% powder, to lessen any confusion I might have at the loading table, and to cut down on the amount of stuff I have to carry with me. Has anyone shot 30gr of straight powder? I just want to make sure the ball seats against the powder properly.

Evan Price, can you weigh a completed cartridge for me? I know there may be some fluctuation with the brass weight, but maybe that would help calm my fear, and to ensure me that what I have done is right before I go any further. Thanks

Whats the smallest powder charge that will properly compress with the stock loading ram, no wad and .457 round ball? I am going to shoot my Ruger Old Armys in CAS and want to keep the charge light if possible.

ROA I just bought a pair of stainless 71/2" barrel fixed site models, new in case with consecutive serial numbers for $9xx.00. I could give you the info, they have some more and sell individually.

Thanks for all the replies. I just wanted to double check before I seated any bullets that what I am seeing is correct. I am definetly going to take the powder measure apart and clean thouroughly, it is new and may have some lubricate on it. Unfortunetly I don't know anyone that reloads...

I am starting to reload my first batch of .38 nd have a question about the amount of powder I should be placing in each case. I am using Titegroup, and the reccomended charge is 3.6gr. I placed some powder into my powder measure and dropped my first charge into the scale to fine tune...

Thanks to everyone for the great info. I ended up with the Hornady LNL kit, not the Ap. but the single stage. I got a great deal from Cabelas, on sale with a coupn to boot. I think this is a great starter set for me, and something I can build on when I start shooting more, which I hope the...

synthetic or woodgrain stock? What about safety, can I load and primer either of thses and carry, ready to take a shot right away?

I am looking at either the Knight Revolution II, or the Omega X7 as a muzzle loader choice. I want to make sure I have a quality accurate rifle to deer hunt with in Utah next season. Cabelas is having a smokin sale on each right now. Any advice?

I wish I had the need to load that much ammo per month, that would mean I am actually shooting on a regular basis! My biggest concern is the 8mm Mauser. The rounds are expensive, so I definetly want to make that my priority. If the same kit will allow me to reload my .357 and eventually...

I did read the sticky, and from that info was able to narrow down my choices. I just wanted to get some advice, to make sure that what I think are the right presses for what I want to use them for will work. I am just looking to expand on that info not trying to be redundant. Thanks
