Light bullets in the .45 Colt rifle

[Roverguy]

My 'get rid of it' powder stash includes 2.5# of WST, too. I actually like WST in the .45ACP, but I have 10# of Unique... and Unique works for everything. I have TiteGroup, SportPistol, W231, and W244 to get rid of, too...




I know mine is (I took it apart to check...) and his probably is... I didn't think to ask. I'm just not a fan of big charges of fast pistol powders.



Indeed.

Question for you: How is the lockup on your SB2? Mine, when compared to my SB1 .410 Topper, is horrible... the .410 locked up like a vault, the .45 Colt not so much.

I have several. My Classic carbine is great, tight and no slop at all. I have a 444 Marlin that’s also great. But I had a 30-30 that must have been a mix-master and it was sloppy! Ugh. I shimmed the underlug and trued the barrel face and now it’s much better but not quite as tight as I would like.

You don't happen to have a source of information on how to fix the the lockup, do you?

This is the repository of Handi Rifle knowledge. Everything you would ever want to know. Not necessarily that easy to find, although there’s a decent index on the first page, but worth the looking.
