OP, I hope your experience with the RCBS is as good as mine has been. I love the APS strips to be certain. Never a cocked primer, or reversed primer. Straight in, each and every time.

Must have been old stock then as like many, I received the notification from Midway that Winchester won't be making anymore 32-40 brass for reloading.

How about a variation of the muzzle device called the B.O.S.S. which Winchester had on some of their rifles in years past? I've seen them on F Open rifles, and their owners shot very well indeed?

Ibemikey, where are you finding Winchester 32-40 brass? I finally gave up and form Starline 38-55 to 32-40. OP. Your quest is ambitious. As I understand it, the 33-40 conversion was often done by HMPope on tired 32-40 barrels more as cost savings. Since the 32-40 is an original chambering in...

There are some subtle and some not so subtle differences between a pistol caliber lever rifle and a rifle cartridge. I really like my Uberti 1873 in 357 magnum. It was my favorite go to rifle for most anything for a long time. It is pretty heavy and has a different balance than say my 1894 in...

Either 32-40 or 310 Cadet with its outside lubed heeled bullet.

I realize there is little commonality between a full diameter bullet, fixed ammunition cartridge, and my Schutzen load, but somewhere between 13.8 and 14.4 grains of IMR4227 makes a very accurate cartridge with a 200 grain Saeco cast bullet, breach seated or in fixed ammunition. Being cast...

Taggants?

...looking or using feeler gages. If your shoulder is not being pressed back to "zero" on sizing, you can see it pretty easily. An alternative that *may* work... In my 32-40 Schutezen rifle I'll use large pistol primers as they throw a milder column of sparks than rifle primers, and they are...

I like mine. With every new cartridge I'm buying some new bushing for the darned thing, and a "modified case". But it works as advertised. I've had it since it was the Stoney Point Comparator, pre Hornady.

32-40, 32-20 Martini (a 310 cadet opened up to accept 32-20 cases, but uses a heeled bullet).

I really like the APS hand priming tool. Never a cocked or backwards seated primer with this setup.

...there is in your rifle. My own 94 improved quite a little bit from "Lord knows if I hit the target" with those folding leaf express sights, to *just* over a minute of angle with a tang sight and globe front sight. I understand economics, and not paying too much for a product, but sometimes...

When I use the Hornady rings, I find a crescent wrench will allow me to snug them down just a little bit, enough to keep them in place.

In its niche, 5744 is pretty much the only game in town, especially since 4759 was discontinued. They can charge what they think it will sell for I guess.

So Orcon, what is this "highly discounted source" of which you speak?

Try another primer I guess. I shoot CCI exclusively through my old 1894, never a failure to fire. The fired primers do end up above flush, suggesting perhaps a headspace issue in the old blunderbuss. But they always go bang. So what sort of accuracy were you getting with your recipe? Those...

Neck turning is a tedious process. To my view, the only reason to do it is if you have a tight chamber neck. There was a fella used to come around here, but I haven't seen him in a long while, who opined that using a bushing die is advantageous even in brass with differing neck thicknesses. A...

What do you want to do with this rifle? Do you want a hunting rifle? an F Class rifle?

Some folks will spray with johnson's furniture wax, and size. Then clean the bullets with acetone, then tumble lube with the liquid alox that comes with the kit. Personally, firstly I think you may not be happy with sizing that bullet so much. It might be better to find another mould. Secondly...
