The new Marlin 1894 Cowboy in .45 Colt that I bought a year or so ago was really well finished with nice wood and screw slots, straight sights,...
The original TC Maxi-Ball bullet molds (I own .50 and .54 TC molds) dropped dead soft lead bullets that could be inserted into the bore with...
I would go with a .54 for round ball shooting, with a 1:66 inch twist, which is the most appropriate. TC Hawken seems to have adopted the 1:48...
Also, hunting stories grow in the telling. A novice hunter who manages to kill a deer at 50 yards with his iron-sighted 94 Winchester .30-30 will...
I don't know about elephants or dinosaurs, but I would think that a 430 grain hard cast bullet at that velocity would pass completely through...
To each his own. :)
That's true enough. A.45-70 going 1350 FPS with a 405 grain bullet at 1350 FPS that is zeroed for 100 yards will strike about 2" high at 50...
Well, in my defense, I was filling up the camp stove and the cat shouldn't have been pestering me. But, I should not have been smoking either,...
140 years ago, hunters were happily dropping moose, elk, and bear with this load, using black powder cartridges. With a bullet this heavy, a high...
It seems to me that a stock 10-22 is just a rimfire rifle like any other. With a properly rifled barrel (not hard to accomplish), it should shoot...
The only oil that should be used on a gunstock is boiled linseed oil with dryers, or a similar product. Common sense dictates that a wood finish...
I never gave it much thought, but now that you mention it it does seem odd that you don't see at least a few production rifles available here.
I wonder how large a bullet diameter can be used, loaded into a case? Are the chambers generous in size or do you need to use a nearly pure lead...
Today I slugged a new Marlin Cowboy 1895CB 26" inch .45-70. I used a .490" dead soft round lead ball that I use in muzzle loaders. I have an...
Any good book on gun care or gunsmithing written in the last century will confirm that petroleum based oils soaking into stocks is to be avoided....
The only oil that should be used on any gun stock is boiled linseed oil with dryers, obtained from the home center. Tru-Oil or Linspeed can also...
Caps on a C&B revolver split, flatten, and shred, and often fall off the nipple when the hammer is cocked for the next shot. In my experience with...
Yup, "duelist1954" videos are among the best sources of C&B info out there.
With Piettas it's kind of a crap shoot that depends on when they were made and other factors. My Pietta Remington only required that the...
Thanks everyone. I think that I will keep that 3rd slot open.
