    What's a used Uberti Walker Worth on a trade?

    I don't recall seeing that price on a walker in many years, is this one of those things that requires a special promotional code?

    This will be your best option with the Scout. IIRC the communication hole in the end of the breech is ~ 1/16 inch. Use a vent/nipple pick to push 10 grains of powder through then re-install the nipple-breech plug and shoot it into a box filled with magazines.

    To Ream or Not to Ream: Just how good are you, anyway?

    Yes. Take care not to over heat it as you cut it off. Keep in mind that you need only ream the portion of the chamber that holds the ball.

    Wich reamer should i get?

    Yes very easy to use. Take it slow making sure to keep the reamer straight and it will center itself. I use $2/pint mineral oil laxative from Walmart pharmacy for cutting oil. No need to measure, just keep increasing the cut until the slugged ball slips into the chambers. Take care not to over...

    Wich reamer should i get?

    Chamfer the edges chambers. Tapering the chambers themselves would be a bad idea as the ball in the adjacent chambers could move forward during recoil.

    Wich reamer should i get?

    The blades fit into grooves on the shank. The grooves are tapered and get shallower toward the back of the shank. The back of the blades are also tapered to match the shank so that cutting edges are always parallel to the axis of the shank. Picture two cedar shims sliding against each other in...

    Wich reamer should i get?

    Yes. I have both and have reamed Pietta 1858's .44 and .36 models. I ordered those exact Victor Machining reamers from another source.

    I realize that it sounds like a pretty weak excuse, but she does have a way of making it difficult to concentrate. [/URL][/IMG]

    Wanted to see for myself.

    It's not about the rifling on the ball, it's about where the holes are on the target.

    Wanted to see for myself.

    Your test results show that the balls are larger than the land to land dimensions but tell nothing about the balls relation to the groove dimensions. Try J-bars method and see if the balls drop into the chamber. I always run the ball about half way into the greased barrel and then hammer it...

    This one for a cylinder or two. http://www.amazon.com/RMBLC-2A-Carbon-Steel-Adjustable-Reamer/dp/B0007CTT3A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388856889&sr=8-1&keywords=2a+reamer This one if you have several to do...

    My mortars and thunder mugs have arrived

    A four foot length of half inch copper pipe with a funnel taped to the end makes loading powder into the chamber much easier. A baby bottle brush makes a quick job of cleaning said chamber.

    Pellets and powder.

    Well then, I guess that settles it. If YOU have never read this anywhere, and Hodgdon chose not to specifically disclose the information on their website, it must not be true.

    Pellets and powder.

    Theoretically speaking, the answer would be no due to the fact that regular 777 50 gr pellets are designed to produce velocities nearly identical to that of 50 gr of real BP. Since loose 777 must be reduced 15% by volume to match the velocities of equal volumes of real BP, (2) 50 gr pellets...

    Anyone know of a source for .45 cal Maxi-ball molds?

    You may want to reconsider your plan unless you want to own a like new T/C Patriot pistol with a 2 piece stock. And be sure to remember that on that particular model, the rear trigger fires the gun.

    Cylinder alignment issue?-Walker

    As long as the entire chamber mouth is aligned within the circumference of the forcing cone, it will shoot without spitting lead. Acceptable is a term relative to the individual. Again "easy" being relative, fixing an under/overclocked alignment issue (assuming all six chambers misaligned...
