What has to be realized is the 7mm Spanish of the 93 or 95 Mauser is not the SAAMI 7x57 of today. Witness the dilemma of the No 5 Remington Rolling Block in 1901. A 7mm Spanish chambering with many headspace problems.
You can not blame the firearm when you are using the wrong ammo to feed it. That Fiocchi ammo is not crimped to be fed in a levergun. It is shhootem up for revolvers. If you trry using uncrimpped ammo in any 45,357 ,44 you are asking for trouble. The case mouth catches the...
Hodgdon lists 4895 as a powder that is safe to be loaded as low as 60% of max recommended weight for a particular bullet That is a great accuracy powder in a 243Win. Put the bullet in the right place and it'll get the job done.
A person has to have an understanding of internal ballistics to know that the Creedmore cartridge in a given caliber is superior to the equivalent Winchester, etc. Ninety-eight percent plus loading density is the secret in powder is the answer. Hornady determined that this should apply to the CM...
After seeing the rollmarks on the barrel, it appears a low grade blue job was done. The edges of the letters are radiused comming from improper buffing technique. Not the sign of a quality gunsmith job.
H&R is done except for the imported repeating shotguns. New old stock is all that's available as well as the used market for the single shot rifles and shotguns from H&R.
A 325 gr FTX is the lightest bullet for the 45-70. Those 225's are only for the Colt 45 and 454 Casull. They are .006 to .007 to small in diameter. will prolly drop right down through the barrel on a 45-70.
The first 20 ga 500's only had one cartridge stop. Stamping 20 on the proper one kept someone from receiving the wrong one and made it easier for the parts pullers to ship the proper pair for the 12 ga and 16's as well.
You are way out of line on your load. The max load for a 180 grain bullet is 15gr Lil Gun and is at 35,000 psi. There is NO safe way of judging pressures by eyeball, feel or measuring anything out of a handgun. Following reloading data from Hodgdon is where you should be. From 50yrs of loading...
That is the original Colt Trooper made in mid 50's to mid 60's. Go to proofhouse dot com with serial number to confirm mfg date. Action was used for the coveted Pythons.
The 45LC is fired in a 410 chamber. Verrrryyy long freebore. Like drawing to an inside straight at a 7 hand poker table. May or may not be. Most likely not and the NEF is on a shotgun frame as purchased complete. Hand loading won't do much. The 45colt factory round will kill deer at bow ranges...
