Thanks to all, for the info!!

I was sent these pictures of a Shotgun, that was inherited by a friend of mine. He lives about 700 miles away, so all I know about it is in these pictures. OOPS, he did say it had a .700" bore and the barrels were .040" thick!! Sounds like a 12 Gauge. Hope I am posting in the correct thread...

THANK YOU Thanks to all for your input. I will get in touch with Ruger and see what they say. Dollars are scarce around here right now. I checked the cylinder to barrel gao and came up with: .004" with barrel pushed all the way forward .008" with barrel pushed all the way back...

VERY NICE!! Had a 6 inch .45 LC Anaconda. Got it right after they came out. Got it for $425 and tax. Was a great shooter. Then the barrel started coming loose, took back to store and their "gunsmith" tightened it. Shot it a few times, same thing. Took it back and he tightened it again, think he...

Thanks guys!! Sounds like good advice. I should have stated that the .45-70 bullets came with lubed grooves.:rolleyes: Many thanks!!:)

ONE MORE QUESTION Thanks for all the replies. Especially hsmith and ribbonstone!!:D Hsmith and ribbonstone, does this process lengthen swaged bullet and retain approximately original weight?:) Or does it shave material off? I suspect the former.:rolleyes:

Try Lee Resizing Lubricant. Lee Lube is pleasant to handle and you can thin it with water. Non-sticky, nonallergenic. Very little is needed; it goes a long way. Eliminates stuck and dented cases and makes sizing less work...

I have some, 300 grain cast lead bullets from National Bullet Company, sized .459" for .45-70. Is there an economical way to swage (sp?) these down to .451" - .452" for use in .45 Long Colt?? I have a Lyman turret press, an RCBS 4x4, and a Lee Reloader press. I've had them for 10+ years...
