    IMR 4895 reduced load for 7mm Mauser

    H4895 has been my powder of choice for my rifles since I started reloading years ago and like that saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it . But awhile back my supply ran out before I could stock up and the person at the store said IMR4895 was a close sub for it but at lower charges . So I...

    IMR 4895 reduced load for 7mm Mauser

    The suggested load data for 7mm Mauser with IMR4895 is 38.0-34.0 . Is there any danger like pressure spike or anything going 2-3 gr lower then 34.0 gr ? Someone said that the bottom is more of a starting point then a danger point . Would like to try some more reduced loads but don't want to ruin...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Picked up a reproduction calvary holster for my cap and ball revolvers . It's got the US stamped on the flap and it's worn on right side butt forward . Pretty stiff right now but got a revolver in a plastic bag and car wax smeared in it to hopefully soften it up some . Heard that works , never...

    Gun Crazy Auction??

    It's not just gun prices at auctions . I was at one few weeks back and it had a lot of reloading supplies . That was why I went . Ammo , bullets , primers , dies ect nothing went cheap . It all was market value or even higher . Crazy . Could of drove to a big type store and paid less .

    Cap and ball concealed carry?

    The most reliable cap and ball revolver I got is my ASM Colt Walker .I use Remington #10 caps and have had great luck with very few cap jams but having to carry over 4 1/2 pounds would get old . I wouldn't carry my Colt Navy or Army , they seem to always have some issue . And my Paterson is a...

    Italian Paterson Maker

    Nice !! I have been kicking it around about maybe getting a case and start picking up items for it . The 5 spout loading flask / ball dispenser is pretty cool cause back then it was considered a speed loader .

    Italian Paterson Maker

    Yes I will probably not shoot it a great deal just for like you said they are getting harder to come by and are more prone to breaking . But I get that rush shooting something from history even if it's a reproduction .. I got plenty of others to shoot and get my fix from . The one you showed in...
