Pocket Models / Defarbed Rem 1863
« on: May 03, 2024, 01:25:20 PM »
Picked up this defarbed replica.
Haven't shot it yet. Springs are hell for stout. Upon cleanup it has what looks like a nice forcing cone.
Took some bright light and magnification to find the ASM marking. No clue as to date, can't find the code.

How many decades has Ruger been producing dual cylinder Blackhawks? 9mm in a single action is nothing new.
Am I running out to buy one? No, but it might be fun, and that's all the justification many guns need.

Nice! Glad it goes bang 
I bet the ignition will pick up as the lock smooths up with use.

Lead casting / broke my Lyman 4500

Well, actually just one of the bolts connecting the linkage.
Thankfully hardware store had 1/4x20 half threaded of correct length to replace it. I went with Grade 8 and plan to be a little less ham fisted.
Sizing these Lyman 429244s.

I've never ordered anything from Turnbull, but they sure do have some nice stuff.

Lead casting / Re: cast .45s

I'm actually looking for a .455 size die for loads for Rossi .45 Colt. It's bore slugs .454.

Lead casting / Re: cast .45s
« on: February 22, 2024, 02:13:15 PM »That's a good looking mold. The bullets come out great. What diameter are they right out of the mold with no sizing done?
.455
Sized .452 they work fine in every 1911 I've tried them in so far. Where they have issues is my S&W 25-2 revolver. That thing has ginormous throats and leads even if sized .454.
