This is folklore type advice… but long ago I read (somewhere)that you set the ball on a flat surface then pour the powder slowly on top of the ball- until the ball is completely covered in powder,...

A friend has the Henry with the brass finish, glove size lever, and curved buttplate.
It’s not fun from the bench with factory 300 gr1900 fps loads.
But with Unique and Lee 340 gr cast at 1300 fps,...

^^^^Exactly!^^^^^

I’m glad that Mrs. TC is ok!
Scary stuff indeed.

At 70 confirmed hog kills, I would think that your combination is working just fine.
Keep on killing those hogs!

I always twitch a flyer in there but...

Maybe- but on a related note, I’ve had a .22 size plastic/rubber strip like that for years.
The other day it disintegrated in my back pocket!

I plan to carry it as a reload for my Rossi snub .38 Special. More comfortable in a pocket than the normal round speed loader.

I squeezed a Turkish 8x57 stripper clip into becoming a .38 Special stripper clip- sort of.

Today, I tried to stop a 5’ chicken snake from entering the yard. From the vibrating Snapper mower I tried to hit it in the head with my Wrangler .22 pistol…..
6 shots later, it tried to leave with...

Over on The great model 8 site they’d be happy to get that one!

That actually reminds me of that time I loaded my .377” 250 gr Lees in .410 shotgun shells as a “sabot slug”……[emoji41]

Yikes. That ain’t good.

The sliding door mechanism looks like the one on an 1873 rifle that I just repaired.
Except this one was a crescent type(rifle) buttplate.

I had the .410 solid frame pump that the 170 was based on and if you didn’t pump it “briskly” it was prone to hanging up like Pietro mentioned.
The Remington pump rifles were the best.

That is neat and interesting, thanks.

I find the S&W folding 9mm carbine interesting. If it was available in .45, I’d find it irresistible…..

An automatic center punch(set correctly)will provide a decent stab crimp.

The Remington 180 gr RN bullet in the .303 British factory loads was available as components back when I had my first Krag. They measured .310” and shot better than .308” bullets.
I don’t like ball...
