I generally recommend setting the height of the bench so that the ball/handle is shoulder height. This reduces reaching up or bending to operate the handle. I set my bench for standing height, and...
I picked up some powder coated bullets from SNS Casting to try and I believe they were cast with the Saeco mold. These projectiles worked really well in my 1873. The price on the Saeco Mold seems...

Finally renovated my reloading area by adding shelves and led lights. Added Inline Fabrication’s Quick Change mount system, just need to add their rail system and storage docks.

Thanks for the responses. My castings come out around 135gr as solids, and when seated at 1.600” to fit my 1873 it the mouth of the case is at the top with the driving band. Luckily it appears that...
Wondering if anyone is using the Mihec 359-125 bullet in 357 loads. I’m considering using my 359-125 cast bullets in my 357 Carbine for light cowboy action loads. This style has been working well in...

For rifle dies, Forster is my favorite.

Would either a Saeco 358 or 398 be a good alternative too? I like the looks of a wide meplat, but not sure if it would have feeding issues. Mihec’s 358-165 Larsen looks nice, but not sure if it...

Recently acquired a Miroku 1873 (SRC) in 357 Mag, and have been debating casting for it, or just buying coated lead bullets. I know truncated cone or RNFP bullets are recommended, but wondering if...

I’ve tried several different brands, and my current favorite are Falken Wildpeak AT3W, which are currently on my 3/4 (Load E-rated). Great price, great traction, and low noise. I doubt they will...

I guess Gunbroker is not the place to look for JM Marlin 94’s. There more expensive than a new Winchester 92 or 73. Will keep it in mind during my search. I’m just looking for a reliable plinking...
Forum: Leverguns
Haven’t found much for reviews on the Winchester 92. Are they a worthwhile option?
Forum: Leverguns
I’ve certainly been looking at them, but kind of like the idea of a load gate—just not sure I can justify the cost difference for something like the Uberti or Winchester 1873 for plinking.
Forum: Leverguns
Been trying to decide on a new firearm for plinking, and have been toying around with the idea of a handgun caliber rifle. Since I’m already setup for loading 38/357, it seems like a good fit. Was...

Unfortunately, the original plunger just reaches the top of the threads in the plunger and the top was sitting flush with the top of the reservoir with no way to get ahold of it. Stop into Lowes...

I need to remove the piston from the lube reservoir, which is air powered from one of Kyle's kits. The problem I have is using the factory threaded rod to pull the piston back out, where the pistol...

A couple years ago I added a separate work bench just for my casting supplies and sizer, as well as, my gun cleaning. Ended up turning a 10-gun rifle safe into a ammo locker. You're right though,...

Pretty much complete. I should stop saying that, cause I keep finding more stuff I "need." Since I've already added an Inline Fabrication short roller handle & light to my Forster Coax since this...

Well pulled the die, cleaned off the lube, drilled out the lead shot slowly, and inserted the lead shot into the middle row exposing the top row. I measured the row spacing on the die, and appeared...
