I have my eye on an older Uberti Cattleman in 357, dated 1971. Stamp says, A. Uberti & C. Gardone V.T. Italy on the barrel and LA Dist. Inc. NYC - NY on the frame. The color-case hardening and brass caught my eye. I'll be using this with .38sp and as a casual shooter. Are there any concerns...

This is why I’ve started with neck sizing. From suggestions on reloading forums on Enfields, neck sizing increased case life. Part of my frustration was the assumption I’d get more reloads before having to full length resize. I’ll load more up this week after full resize and confirm if that...

Most recent twice reloaded and fired brass also measure .08 over standard case length. Not sure if that would create the issue. It seemed to chamber properly before being fired. But I’ll be trimming all brass back to 2.220 case length.

Last week, I was out shooting my Enfield no.1 mk3 with some reloads: 150gr soft point over 33gr of IMR 4064. Brass was factor PPU loads that have been fired, then neck sized twice and twice reloaded. After firing, it was difficult to lift the bolt handle. Once the bolt is lifted the case...

thanks. It was one of the early sets I made. Bubinga wood with great grain.

Two of my favorites. ‘33/‘34 Winchester model 67. 1973 (if I recall correctly) ruger single six

I took this Winchester 94ae in .45 out to test the new skinner aperture sight. I’ve never used one of these and man was it nice. Wish I had done this years ago. Put it on, test fired at 50 yards. These were the first five shots, no adjustments needed. Couldn’t believe it. Fun gun to shoot.

nope. Not cheap. I had a gift card i had been holding on to for rocklers so decided to try it. I will say, I like the richness/warmth it adds to the color of the wood But not worth the cost in my opinion. I’ve started adding coats of TruOil to a couple of the grips that have Odie’s on it and...

lol. I hear that stuff can fix anything.

Thanks, sounds about right, I’m usually between 7-10 coats. I might try both Odie’s and TruOil on a less than perfect set of grips to see how they turn out.

i was wondering about applying TruOil over Odie’s. When you apply TruOil over tung oil, how many coats do you do?

good lookin box. I may have to give Mylands a try. I’ve heard of it but have never used it.

General observation after using it on a couple of grips. Compared to TruOil, it soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top. No need to worry about streaks or finger prints. No need for several layers like TruOil. It’s more like BLO but dries a little better and feels better in the hand in my...

Yep, that's all I've used so far BLO and Tru Oil. I've got a couple sets up grips fashioned and hope to give Odie's a chance tonight. Several guys in my woodworking community really like the stuff, but none have used it on this type of project.

Has anyone used Odie’s on wood grips? I picked a jar of this stuff up today on the recommendation of a Rocklers employee. I make my own Single Action grips and am wondering if anyone has used this, how it’s held up and if you have any tips.

good to know

I've seen these. I've always struggled with their price (and a few others). Typically I can buy a 50rd box of loaded ammo for $40, shoot, clean and reuse brass. Is there a big enough benefit to paying this price for never fired brass?

This thread has been more informative and interesting than I had expected. Thanks everyone. I did call Winchester years ago about pressure ratings and will have to look through my notes, but I recall it being above SAAMI since I called another manufacturer around the same time regarding a SAA...

Whoa. Local, there's about 6 available. Good news for me is that Cabelas can get stuff shipped to store for free (opens it up to about 50 powders). That's my route for now. Northern Virginia is not full of options for hunters or reloaders.

Sorry for my lack of clarity. I will be buying powder, just looking for options that may be in store nearby. I can figure that part out, I’m just trying to find some powders that are generally becoming more available.
