Have you tried running the case into a Lyman M die or NOE's knockoff and then seating the capsule. You could always taper crimp slightly if needed. james

I have always thought that copperheads have a vicious look to them. Like I said, the fight is on if I see one.

Copperheads and rattlers are my sworn enemies. There are no cottonmouths where I live or at least I have never heard of anyone seeing one around here. I consider the copperhead more dangerous than...

I just found this thread and I was suspecting the sear right off the bat. I have both 1903 and 1903A3 and they both hold quite well. Changing triggers can be a challenge at times or even worse it...

I have some of the old CCC .43 Spanish brass cases and they are much thicker in the side walls than the Bertram brass. Most of the early Bertram .43 Spanish that I bought split the side of the cases...

There is quite a bit of data for Herco and Unique in the older manuals on the 16 gauge. But the loads mostly are for 7, 8, 8 1/2 shot sizes. I never loaded BB or #2 shot in anything so I cannot...

I don't know why someone would not use a 12 gauge on pigs. At close range, it will hit harder with a good slug than any lever action rifle I know of. james

Pig hunt, yeah maybe, but iguana absolutely. Going after them with air rifles would be the 'safari hunt' of a lifetime for this ol country boy. But at 82 I doubt it will ever happen. james
