Good information. I'm going to see about taking it apart and looking at the breech block to see what it looks like. As far as I can tell the action is from 1902. The barrel has been replaced, I'm guessing sometime in the 1940s.

I'm in the proccess of working up a load and noticed the primer srikes seem to be a little off. I don't believe this will be a problem but wanted to get some input. For me it looks like the firing pin is longer than what I'm used to and causing a deep impact. This is for a Winchester High...

That is correct. It is the 32-20 cartridge. I've been able to get some 32-20 brass and a set of 32-20 dies. I was working on something else and noticed I had a jar of the .31 round balls sitting on the shelf. I remembered reading about the .31 round ball being used with the 30-30 and also...

So, I have a Winchester 1892 chambered in 32 WCF. I'm wondering if any one has ever loaded the 32 WCF with a .31 round ball. I've got quite a bit of these round balls and I'm curious if these would work in this rifle. I'm in the process of getting the supplies together to load something with...

I'm using mixed brass including Blazer, Federal, Speer and some others. The bulging isn't isolated to any one brand. I am using RCBS dies though. I may need to check about the RCBS dies that I am using. This doesn't happen to all of the brass that I expand either. It only seems to happen to...

I have some 380 Auto brass that I'm reloading. I am having a problem with the brass bulging when I try to expand it before putting the bullet in. The brass is empty while I'm doing this. About 5% of the cases do this. Does anybody have any idea what is causing this and how to avoid it? The...

I have a percussion ML that I would like to get information about. My father had bought it a long time ago. He gave it to me last year, since he doesn't use it anymore. He was shooting 55 grains FF, but he doesn't remember how much of a charge the rifle will handle. I plan on only shooting...

I don't like to go strickly by balistics data when choosing what I will be shooting. I will use the ballistic data for a baseline, but I will compair how different loads perform in the field. I don't base performance on the velocity or Ft. Lbs, but on actual field performance. If I load 3...

I've been looking to change to loose powder in my T/C Omega this year. I've always heard that loose powder is more accurate then pellets, but after reading the manual for the Omega I noticed some interesting data. I shoot the XTPs and get very good results from them. My question is why is...

It is correct, and I would agree. T.C. only differentiates pellets or FFG black powder in the manual. The rest should be the same since the manual is specificaly for the TC Omega. For a 240Gr Mag Express Sabot, the TC Omega manual states: 2 pellets=1889FPS/1902FtLbs 3...

I recently got a .58 Hawken am going to be using loose powder. I already own a TC Omega that I shoot with pellets. Since I'll only be using loose powder in the Hawkens I decided that I might as well use loose powder in the TC Omega also. When I checked the powder charges in manual that comes...
