Originally got a BP TC to deer hunt in the 80’s then put it aside. About 15 years ago made friends with some guys into BP shooting. Tried it again and it rekindled my competitive shooting nature. Now...

Your name would not happen to be McGregor? Sounds like a rabbit named Peter been in garden.

Nice pre-64 win 94 30-30 for $125 in the early 70’s at a gun show and that was the expensive one.

Ruger 10/22 on sale at Wally world for $55.00.

Tentatively thinking lubed paper. But as previously stated a total rookie with this type of black powder rifle. Been a cloth patched round ball shooter for years.

Great looking tool. And has the expander decap pin which is usually missing.

Your right on the “H” type spacers can be a pain but they can be made and when the handle scales are replace a bit a wedge fit to make em tight will work. With the pinned pommel I would leave that...

The knife was made as a hunting knife. With the upswept blade it a skinner style blade. Appears to be rough enough and missing spacers in the handle certainly not going to hurt anything by replacing...

Looks like a Western brand knife. I would not remove the pommel (the aluminum butt). The yellow handle is pinned on. Since you not try to salvage them grind the heads of the pins and pry em off. If...

Maybe should have started a new thread but recycled this one. 2024 Red White and Blue T minus 7 days! If you like to camp, have fun and shoot this will be the spot!

I hear ya. Decisions decisions I would be better off if I only had one rifle but would not be as much fun. Recovering an shooting a shot ball has got to be a challenge.

From what I have shot the .40 so far it the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Hard to decide which rifle to take to the dance. Have antique to modern .36 to .58’s love em all equally. Does that...

Thanks I have looked at the custom mold options. True easy enough to get a mold built. I would like to guess right once and not have to buy multiple molds to get the best one. This mold would be not...

I like rediscovering old threads.

Does lead to the question “if you love old dead threads, does that make you a nacrophilliac?” Asking for a friend. lol.

I would certainly like to try them. Happy to find goods or some other form of remuneration. Certainly no rush. Still need to obtain suitable sights for the rifle. That’s a bit on hold. Have several...

Thanks. since I am not a machinist not likely to have multiple choices in the bullet mold. Certainly an uncomplicated bullet. But I know the diameter and weight along with patch choice will factor...

I start at 25yrds to get on paper. Too see how well a load performs I go to at least 50yards, 100 is preferable off the bench. I like 50 cause I can still see the open sights pretty well, 100 hard...

Thanks these came with other goods at an estate auction. Wilson has the Reputation of producing tools for the precision shooters. I can see this would be a slow way to reload. Did it make an...

Thanks to everyone for their input. More work needed but shot a fairly decent 100 yard offhand target using 50gr. Only two weeks to Red White and Blue Rendezvous(memorial weekend at Cairo NE) so...

Coming up with .350 and .357 1-15 twist. Not familiar with what 2 calibers would be in current language.

Very cool. Love the old time rifles. Zero interest in modern long distance guns.

I don’t find that Wilson is still making these. I think they are neck sizers. Anyone know for sure? Look like drop the case in whack with a mallet and use some sort of rod to knock the case out....

True. Might help to have eyes about 40 years younger lol

Thanks. Shooting a green Mountain barrel in a TC Hawken This is the 1st barrel I have ever shot that does not appear to foul . Loads as easily the 1st shot thru the 20th. My other rifles depends...

I think it’s the bore diameter. Total rookie when it comes to this.
