Thanks guys: There is certainly enough information her to enable one to make a decision. Now I think I'll ponder a bit over a 25-06 and a 270 The only thing that might sway my initial decision between the two particular guns is the 6.5 has a nice scope and is about the same prices as the 243

I currently own neither, but, by next weekend one will live in my house, What I have gathered from this forum is choose 243 for a 243 diameter bullet, a faster twist for heavy bullets at 300 plus yards. Makes a 243 dia hole in a deer rib. Choose a 6/6.5mm because it shoots a 243...

Put yourself in my position. This man is avery good friend. He calls me and emails me that his S&W pusher has come up with a new one than I have to go see it an love on it a bit. I put up with such deals because occasionally a crumb falls out.AQnd he has a wonderful cat named "Book." "Book...

Loved ol "Puff the Magic Dragon"

The "kit" guns had no proof marks.

Teardown? Once a year without fail.

I throw my black powder brass in a vibratory tumbler with walnut media and a handful of steel pins. I have used ceramic with the walnut for equally good results.

An old gunmaker used small diameter rope covered with pine pitch. Wrap theat around the stock in the pattern desired then heat until the pitch softend and absorbed into the stock. The same rope could be used multiple times.

The 100 yard jogs would be the fatal part.

My tame FFL says if they do not have to log it in because it is not a firearm then there is no charge.

What Denster said. Well done.

I have several pounds of old APP. I have a stiff brass wire bent to be a lump buster that I chuck into my cordless drill. A few seconds or so and it is back to new.

Military weapons are designed to wound, not kill. A wounded soldier requires at least 2 others to care for him when they could be fighting. An 1851 is kinda like cholera. It will probably kill you but it may take a week. To answer the question, No it is not enough gun for any medium sized game...

I had the OPs question done to a pair of Uberti 1860s and as far as I was concerned it ruined them. Even with a 457 ball my accuracy was hopeless.

Not enough gun!

If you have 50 shooters on the line there will be 54 or 55 recommended lube formulas and at least that many methods of application and quantity applied. Of course, MY method is correct.

That's real purty!

The only thing I could add is that I found the cheap 11mm punch make great patches for the 44 cal cap guns. I use the same homemade bullet lube to melt and pour over the wads. Then squeeze them to distribute the lube.

I had the same problem when I started shooting black. Bullet is not carrying enough lube. Either buy a bullet that does or add a grease cookie under the bullet. I tried grease wads and they would sometimes stick to the base of the bullet giving spectacularly inaccurate shots.

A friend loads 2 0unces of shot over 110grs of FFg. He uses this for CAS shooting for the shock and awe aspect.
