Good Job. Good to Know. I was just gonna suggest a small punch anna Ball Peen. Whackada Whackada

Long Long time in the Military. Use'd issued CLP as THE cleaner the whole time I served. An excellent cleaner for Smokeless Powder guns. Not necessarily a good lubricant. Not at all useful for Black Powder and Subs. For lube, I have become a fanatical champion for Mobile 1 grease, not slathered, and Mobil 1 motor oil. Plays really really well with Black Power and Subs and Smokeless. I also prefer an Oily rag for wipe down.

Sorry for the miss-understanding. I wasn't commenting on the content of the video. I was commenting on the initial post which went full Political all encompassing condemnation. Get over it.

PRACTICE?? Unfamiliar word. I'll have to look it up later. I think I've heard it before though. Still need to look it up. "Dry Fire" I know about. Wears out yer gunz. I don't wanna do dat. 'Sides, I'm getting well too old fer dat sorta stuff.

Actually, I haven't witnessed it personally. However, one of our more prolific contributors (H.K. Uriah) claims to have been using smokeless in his Magtech 12Ga brass hulls for years. I do know, MagTech DOES NOT recommend Smokeless in their brass hulls.

Many Lustrum ago, I possessed a Stainless Navy Arms (By Rossi) 1892 Short Rifle, Octagonal Barrel. Like an Idiot, one day I let it go (for a '73). I haven't seen one like it since (Boo Hoo Boo Hoo). Kick myself every day for letting it go.

I waz gonna say "Take Hi Gun" and put him onna really small desk back inna corner. But he resigned. Good riddance. The other officer who opened fire, with no clue what he/she was firing at also needs to go to the same small desk inna corner. STUPID. Some lucky neither one of them managed to hit anything other than maybe the vehicle.

Gee, perhaps as described by a Right Wing, Ultraconservative, ignoramus, who doesn't understand the Republican Party no longer exists??

PLUS ONE for Charley Harley. Most of the comments in this thread are just as idiotic as the TV talking heads. Give it a rest until the facts "as known" are released.

Couple of easy strokes of a file and some 220 grit Wet/Dry to smooth up should solve the problem easily. There are NO after-market firing pins available I am aware of. Only genuine Uberti parts. You might also try reducing the Main Spring. The OEM Main Spring is way too heavy.

Second Generation Colt Percussion guns are Uberti. You might want to contact Allan Harton in Texas or Lassiter. I don't have their contact information handy.

Horsefeathers. If your shooting Black Powder without a goodly amount of compatible lube your in trouble. If anyone claims they shoot with Black Powder and Moly Coated bullets with NO problems they be shining you on, unless they also include a gob of proper BP lube which they ain't mentioning. Oh, and: PLUS ONE for Garrison Joe. Pay attention folks.

Oh my gosh. When you've been shooting the same PILE of cases for 20 - 30 years, keeping track of how many time a case has been fired is Oxymoron!! Not to be SNARKY you understand

Buckshot, Got It!! Case Feed Cam!! Yours is KAPUT!! Completely undeniably KAPUT!! Have Messers DILLON send ya a new one.

YES!! Molycoat by itself does nothing except to contribute to fouling. It is NOT an acceptable BP lubricant. One must still have an appreciable amount of BP compatible lube or yule play hell scrubbing out the bore. NOT recommended.

Presently. There are no real "FACTS." None of the News Outlets has any more information than we do. Rumor (rumor only) on the street has two perps shooting at each other. As usual, sprayed bullets everywhere. No real factual information exists at this time. Just some WAGs.

For others, It behoves one to insure the previous owner of the antlers has fully expired

Almost as bad as when the Little Old Lady with the Recipe for Ice Cubes died. Horrible.

Almost forgot. What ever you do > > > > DO NOT use 45 ACP resizing dies. .45 ACP resizing dies impart a slight taper to the cases which generates excessive Blow-By. Resize with a standard 45 Colt resize die.

DeaconKC Yep. I load Pistol and Rifle cartridges exclusively on my DILLON. 3f will meter well thru the powder measure with just an occasional bridge. However, use the LARGE POWDER BAR. DO NOT try to run 2F thru the powder measure. 2F thru the powder measure SUX.

My Sister's first Mother-In-Law was insufferable. Hated by all. Complained about everything under the sun, especially at my Sister's house. One fine Saturday, my Sister called me for help. She had purchased a set of Bat Wing Doors and wanted me to hang them on the Bathroom. Covered the user from just below the knees to the shoulders. Twaz hilarious!! Her MIL refused to use the bathroom thereafter and shouldn't stay at the house for more than 15 minutes. My Sister was ecstatic !!!!! Doors were still on the bathroom when she sold the house.

Buckshot, Super good you get the usual great service from DILLON. Bearer of bad tiding though. I forget the tech name of the ramp part, but it is so badly grooved adjusting the camming pin isn't going to help much if at all. It's shot. I can also highly recommend the "Hit Factor" bearing kit for the shell plate. Amazing improvement over stock. While you have it apart, might well do the whole enchilada

PLUS ONE for Leroy Luck. I have always preferred separate seating and crimping dies. Just more consistent results. The Redding 45 Auto Rim Profile Crimp die is just superb.

Deacon, You only use Vinegar for your "Bath" for the cases and rinse well then dry. Shooting APP and Black Powder, the ONLY CLEANER I use is "PAM." PAM is equal parts Hydrogen Peroxide, Denatured Alcohol and Murphy Oil Soap. Hydrogen Peroxide neutralizes the bad stuff in Subs and BP. Murphy Oil Soap is a cleaner and lubricant. Denatured Alcohol is a drying agent. I use it to clean the guns and a keep a small spray bottle in my gun cart to swab out the shotgun chambers between stages as well as wiping down the cylinder face if needed and a little spritz on the cylinder base pin. Same same treatment for Percussion gunz.

Nah, Nope, NONE OF THE ABOVE (Except for the Lovely Scarlett Darlin). I've been shooting Frontier Cartridge seems like FOREVER. I have always been running APP. For Pistol/Rifle Cartridges or Percussion, I run 3f APP. 3f meters well thru my DILLON powder measure with only an occasional bridge. If running reduced charges, I use Cream-0-Wheat for filler. Been running Magtech 12Ga Hulls FOREVER as well. Never need to resize them although they are picky about primer seating. I use an inexpensive Lee Classic for seating primers. For the Shotgun I load 40Gr 2f APP, scooped (by weight) and (by Volume), A Ballistic Products "Spitfire" Wad for a One Ounce payload. A BPI 1044 (10Ga) wad works well also but you need to cut the petals back some. Oh, Only time you need to resize a Magtech hull is if some Ham Hock steps on one Welcome to Frontier Cartridge > Resistance is Futile, You WILL be Assimilated Now for the "Nope, None" Rest of the Story (quote Harry). Totally unnecessary to lug a jug of water around a match. Just dump yer fired hulls and cartridges inna cartridge bag and haul 'em home. When you get home, dump 'em all inna sink or bucket of water cut with a goodly amount of White Vinegar and let soak for 30 minutes. Rinse and Dry then Reload. Whoops, I do separate Shotgun from Pistol/Rifle inna Soak.
