Hi, Contemplating a new Mossberg 12 ga. turkey gun (MO camo, 22" bbl, 3.5" chamber, fiber op adj sights [not pistol grip]) and was wondering if the models with the LPA adjustable trigger made a significant difference over a standard Mossberg trigger. Do Mossberg owners find there is a...

Hi, A friend brought me a box of ammo that his father had from WWII, and asked if I could identify it. It's nothing I've seen before, but it's Denver, so I thought one of you folks could identify it. It has a PSP bullet of .308" dia., OAL of 3.040". The case is 2.305" long and tapers from...

Hi, I just bought a Uberti Yellowboy in 45 Colt with 24" barrel. I'm hoping someone can tell me what the rate of twist is for this rifle (Uberti doesn't specify, but I sent them an email requesting it - still haven't heard back.) I've been loading 250 gr LRNFPs ahead of W231, but was...

Hi, There's a similar thread on .357/.38 loads, but this is a bit different. I load 45LC for my New Vaquero and keep them to a MV under 950 fps, and under 14,000 CUP. The bullet is cast LRNFP. My questions are, are the above loads safe for the 1866 Uberti Yellowboy rifle with the...

Hi, I am looking to buy either the 1860 or 1866 and would like to hear some pros and cons (beside price) on these two. I'm thinking of 45LC (I reload 45LC for low pressure) and I'm not too fussy about 24" or 20" bbl. They both have a great old west look, and I'm torn between them. I've...

In researching loads for the 270 WSM, I've seen that Alliant specifies LR primers, not magnums for their RL19 and RL22. But my Lyman Reloading manual specifies a LR mag primer for its entire list of 270 WSM loads. I loaded 12 rounds of 66 gr of Reloader 22, Hdy 130 gr JSP using a mag primer...

I'm going to start to load .270 WSM, and am looking for a crimp die. I can't seem to find any mfr. Lee doesn't list one under "products" on its site, nor do Midway, Mid-South or Cabela's show any for sale online. So is that because the .270 Win. crimp die can be used? Will the WSM case (being...

Hi, A neighbor gave me three weights from a grandfather clock. They have thin brass sleeves with a removable lead core. Together the three of them weigh about 15 pounds. Not casting lead bullets myself, and not knowing the usual composition of this lead, I was wondering if this lead was...

Hi, I'm going to begin reloading .380's (been reloading other calibers for a while) and noticed that different bullet companies have different dia.s for their .380 bullets. Some are .355", some 356" (i.e. Rainier .355, Berry's .356", Mastercast.com .356", Mastercast.net, .355"...

Hi, I found that if I jiggle the trigger of my 870 wingmaster side to side, it will go off "safe." At bit of background. This is a gun I've owned since the 70's, but haven't used it much in the past 10 or so years. When cleaning it I found this condition. Years ago, I replaced the safety...
