I may have the opportunity to buy a Pedersoli 45/70 at a decent price. But to be honest, I know little about them. And I noticed in my Lyman cast manual that there are 3 types of loads for that caliber. Springfield, Winchester/Marlin, and Ruger. Where would the Pedersoli fall in that grouping...

Mods, if there is a better place to ask for this info, please move it. I'm looking for a spot to shoot a rifle around Cumming, GA for a buddy of mine. There is a local rifle club, but they are pretty expensive for someone that only shoots occasionally. Is there any informal ranges on state...

This may not be the right forum but I'll try anyway. I have a Remington 700 ML, which is a 50 caliber BP rifle. The problem is that the trigger pull is ridiculously heavy and firing it accurately is really hard. Would it be legal for a gun smith in Florida to change it, or would he get in...

I have one of those brass, spring loaded percusion cap holders that works real well on my bp pistol. But for my in-line rifle it really is a PITA. When I'm in the shade I can barely see in there to put the cap on. (Yeah, I'm old.) Consequently, I end up dropping more then I fire. Does anyone...

I just ordered an electronic scale and I always said it'd be a cold day in Hades when I did that. :D But it's that cheap one that Midway has on clearance for $19.99. I want it for weighing bullets. That balance beam is making me crazy for that chore. And yes, I know they can be good. I'm just...

It's been 5 months since I've been able to get out of a wheelchair and walk much further then 10 steps. My wife has been getting my shooting gear and rifles from the car to the bench for me. And walking out to hang my targets at the range as well. Today, thanks to a couple of really good...

When we move here last year I immediately joined the local shooting club. They had a nice range and enforced their safety rules which I liked a lot. The only rub is that they ALL seem to be reloaders. In a year I have never found even one piece of brass over there except for rim fire. And I've...

Unfortunately for the past few months I've been stuck in a wheel chair. I'm finally to the point where I can walk 20 feet on a good day, but that's it. A friend knows I like to hunt hogs and he found a spot where he could drive me in and set me up to hunt over bait. It's not a perfect way to...

with the Lee R E A L .50 caliber, 320 grain cast conical bullet? I got the mold a while back and it seems to cast and shoot pretty well. Although I still have to work up the best load. But I'm curious how well it works on game?

Someone gave me a Remington 700 ml that's a few years old. I got the plug out without too much struggle but the nipple seems to be stuck but good. I've soaked it in penetrating oil to no avail and was thinking about heating the nipple and plug with a propane torch. However I don't want to mess...

How many guys buy a Dillon 650 just to do rifle ammo. Most of the time when I see those presses mentioned they are being used for hand gun ammo.

For the purpose of mixing lubes for conical bullets, is there a major difference between real bees wax and the stuff sold as bees wax toilet seals in the hardware store? I suspect there might be, but if someone knows for sure I'll go looking for a bee keeper.

I thought finding large rifle primers was hard to do until I went looking for some #10 percussion caps today for my revolver. None locally, and Midway was dry too. Luckily I have a some left, but this shortage on things is becoming a bit of a pain.

I've shot and reloaded smokeless for a long time. However now I was thinking I'd like to try a BP rifle for hunting hogs. I can't use a center fire on state land here in Florida. It would be helpful if someone could compare the range, accuracy, and killing power of a modern .50 cal to a 30-30...

I've been cleaning out drawers and came across 2 sets of dies that I really don't need any more. There's a Lyman 7 mm mag, fl, 2 die set. And a Pacific (Now Hornady.) Durachrome 300 wm fl, 2 die set. If they are something you can use, send me a PM and maybe we can swap or whatever? I need...

Has anyone done business with this outfit? http://www.huntinghunters.com/hunting-store/Reloading-Equipment/Molds Some of their prices don't look too bad, but I don't want to risk having to wait 3 months for a shipment if I can avoid it. Thanks for any info you can supply. Qajaq59...

They seem to have improved everything else so how about something to clean a bp pistol besides hot water and soap?

I have a stock on a Savage 99 that got wet years ago and about 6 inches on one side is black. Is that something that can be redone by an amateur with materials from the average hardware store, or do you think it would require the services of a real pro? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Their prices look pretty good for hogs, but if someone has hunted there it would help me decide if I want to try it. Private land that's open to hunters is tough to find around here. Especially since we just moved in.

I have a Marlin 30-30, 336c S/N 17104XXX which I believe was made around 1983. Would that have a microgroove barrel? Thanks Qajaq
