    Removing stuck nipples on Stainless cylinders

    In retrospect, I wish I had videod this effort. I was given 6 stainless steel cylinders that actually work in my pietta Buffalo, but the problem was, as you all know, there is always one... in this case 4 nipples that were frozen in so tight that I broke two nipple wrenches even though they were...

    I'm trying to bring Airgun Hunting to Hawaii. Along the way we're also trying to get the ban on Crossbows lifted. Here is my question to you all... Do you believe that an Airgun in the .177 to .25 to .257 calibers can be effective in killing Turkeys humanely as is legal in California...

    Powder Coating Muzzleloader Bullets

    Anyone here powder coat your muzzleloader bullets? I have a question on fouling. On the one hand, I swear that the barrel of my gun is "choked". I'll be checking with the designer of the gun on this later, but we got a bullet stuck in the barrel yesterday that took a ton of innovation (hammer)...

    Pietta Brass Frame Buffalo 12" barrel

    I've been getting conflicting information about loads for this pistol. Some recommend no more than 22 grains of strong powder (777 for example) and others say no big deal with regular black.

    the salvage...

    Well put a tapered barrel into a boyds thumbhole stock made for a bull barrel. Had some other issues to contend with, how to attempt to pillar bed the gun by making a pillar in the rear by soldering two nuts threaded for 10-32 together and bedding them with the barrel. Did similar on the front...

I don't know what they are from but I do want to make sure that after reading all the issues of accuracy, that my Pietta target 44 be accurate and would like to ream out my cylinders. I know I could probably open up the forward...

    Remington 1858 conical choices..

    I've been looking for alternatives to the .454 round ball for this pistol. The duelist listed two alternatives he tried, a 220 Lee it looks like and the Kaida Bullet... 240 grains that seems to fit nicely in the gun. There is a 252255 by Lee that also has been used by some but one feature of it...

    .44 Rem mag... how do you load for rifle and pistol

    My question is, do you load the same for both or should you load the same for both? It's certainly easier to just load one load and that really is my goal but I recently picked up a ruger blackhawk beasely for hunting and would hope that the loads for both would be the same. Any...
