Doug, I polished them out myself when I first got the gun. They were way tight! Used the hand drill, split rod, emery cloth method. used a cast bullet as gauge.

In my new found addiction with PC bullets, I found some unsized and unlubed RCBS 180 gr FNGC cast slugs. These were water quenched WW bullets, my favorite for such guns going about 2200 fps. They had...

Here are some I did with HF white with 10% black mixed in.

There has always been a common thread when reading about Marlin lever guns and their 1894 .44 mags when perusing the various forums. Accuracy! Or, lack there of it. I love Single action six-guns! A...

There's a new rage sweeping thru the small world of those that choose to pour their own bullets from molten lead alloy called powder coating (PC). Giving these home brewed projectiles a new face in...

This past Saturday was opening day in my home state of Md. and my good friend Doc Barranti was coming down to get a jump on the deer season from his home state of Pa. After a nice dinner out, a few...

Slick idea ! How about heating the bolt cherry red, and then oil quenching ?

Thanks, yonky !

Six gunner New Years : Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blued


The winding down of the end of the year has always been sorta anti-climatic for me . The anticipation of...

Driving down the gravel lane to one of my favorite hunting places, I wave to Charlie, the live-in grounds keeper of the farm I'm about to hunt. Charlie is 80 years old, give or take, I'm not sure if...

This past Monday was Pennsylvannia's opening day of deer season. I always enjoy opening day there, as I was born there, and the vast majority of my relatives live there. It's a great time to catch...

Heck, might be a cheaper source for Vi@gr@ ! Put new meaning into reloading ! After the first round, go downstairs for a sniff, come on up for round 2 . Or keep a pound jug next to the bedside...

Try adding a few grains more of powder, to raise pressure, so case neck expands more, sealing the chamber better from blowback. Low pressure loads with jacketed bullets leave a carbon ring for the...

I'd start first with the gun. Check your cylinder mouths. Make sure they are not smaller than your barrel diameter. If throats check out, check the barrel itself for any constrictions. No...

Today was Md.'s last day of the deer season for firearms in my home state. Things have been kinda slow since opening day. Like everywhere, the deer herd up, and pretty much become nocturnal. Today,...
