Just scored 8# of Titegroup (thanks, Kidneyboy!) and will start with that. Any suggested fun-shooting loads appreciated! TR

Got my 1886 in .45-70 for that! TR

Thanks, everyone, for the replies! Guess I’ll just restrict it to standard pressure loads. Certainly don’t want to take a chance on damaging myself or my new rifle... TR

Just found some info on 24 Hour Campfire, all discouraging the idea.

Bud’s just notified me they got the 1873 Special Sporting Rifle in that I’ve been waiting for, so now it’s on it’s way to me. I did a pretty thorough Google search, with no clear results on whether it can handle Buffalo Bore or Garret rounds safely. Not a steady diet, mind you, but for back...

Haven’t fired it yet with it installed, so may need some adjusting. It does have a protective flap, though.

Just thought I’d post these pics of a leather cheek pad/shell holder I found on Etsy. Handmade in the Ukraine, it took a while to get here, but I’m pleased so far. Seems pretty well made, and looks good on my new Winchester/Miroku 1886. Anyway, talk amongst yourselves. Cheers! Tom

Duplicate post

Correct me if I’m wrong, but nowhere in the item description did it specify PPU brass. If it had, I wouldn’t have bought it. I was willing to pay the price to have the Nosler brass to reload. Just sayin’...

Yep, that’s it.

Yeah, my mistake for not looking at the reviews. Definitely a learning experience for me and anyone who reads this thread. TR

And feel free to flame me as a dumbass, but my primary reason for posting this is to alert some of the many new shooters around here who may be desperate to find ammo, and make the same mistake I did. Flame on

Got a little burned, I’m chalking it up to my desperation to find ammo. Should have known something was up when there was no pic on auction. Ad was for “New 6.5x55 Swedish 130g Nosler Accubond 20 Rounds”. With corresponding current inflated factory price. What I received was 20 rounds in a plain...

Thanks! I really like those Skinner peep sights. I’ve got one on my Henry Golden Boy .22 as well. Very quick sight picture, and works perfectly with the stock front sight. TR
