handloads for sure. that Lee handpress and dies are relatively inexpensive, efficient, and get the job done in good order. 45lc loads i like with the Kirst cylinders are: 200gr RNFP over 6.5gr Trailboss (c855fps) 250gr RNFP over 8.0gr Unique (c850fps) 270gr SWC over 8.0gr Unique (c900fps)...

somewhat OT, but re: skepticism at SHTF scenarios... i'm truly not an alarmist or paranoid and, like many others, put little stock in the mass of those sort of kooky ideas... HOWEVER, it may be worthwhile for all to remember that an event which may be improbable in 10 years may be inevitable in...

stay below 14,000psi (no +p loads!). i'm happily using 8gr of unique with 250gr rnfp (c850fps / 11,800psi). 5.6 - 5.8gr of trailboss with 250gr rnfp is also pleasant shooting. cheers -g

cool beans!

hot water and little soap. make sure to dry well!

nice tip. many thanks! -g

that'd be the Pedersoli coach? i too have my eye on one of those! they're great looking pieces that a lot of folks seem to be real happy with! cheers -g

i have to join the chorus here: WOW!

many thanks, rcflint! i'm wondering then if having the stock '58NA bore relined with a 1:16" twist would be a viable option? the Pietta-made 7&1/2" barrel for 45LC is fairly pricey and already has a sight attached (which i'd just be removing anyway since i want to install the target model...

I'm wondering... would an Uberti barrel seat in a Pietta frame without too much trouble or fuss? I'm thinking that the Uberti 7&1/2" barrel from the 1873 target model would make a good new barrel as it comes without sights and so I could then have the Pietta target sights installed... but does...

Thank You!!!

many thanks, Curator. 'much food for thought there! barrel aside, modifying/adjusting the sights once settled on a load certainly seems like a must... do you think the sights from the tiro/target version of the pietta '58 NA would be a good choice in this setup? what other sights might be a...

@ scrat: that's a beautiful piece! what kind of loads are you shooting? how's accuracy? @ Curator: thanks for the heads-up on the barrel rifling. VTI lists a variety of 45LC barrels in a variety of sizes... 'don't know that I'm quite ready to add the expense of replacing the barrel, but it...

I came across this bit recently ==? http://www.go2gbo.com/forums/index.php?topic=16668.0;wap2 'seems to be 'normal' for the '58 remmies... cheers -g

I definitely hear ya', Old Fuff, and appreciate the sage words! 'will definitely then have the 'smith slug the barrel and will keep my fingers crossed that these 500 beautiful "laser-cast" .452's that just arrived today aren't useless for my purposes! :eek: Part of my trouble here is that the...
