  1. Will a .44 Russian work OK in a revolver that shoot a .44 Mag? I was looking at some specs and the base of the Russian is like .001 smaller that the .44 Special or .44 Magnum. Would that .001 difference be of any concern?
  2. Prairie Dawg: THANKS! I got the e-mail for Powder Valley with the promotion code, but deleted it. I wanted to order some BP. Saw your post here and was able to order using the code. Thanks for your post.
  3. I'm an old man and suffer miserably from CRS and can't remember if I have ever asked this question before. Can reenactor BP be used in rifle and pistol cartridges for our game. Regular BP is getting up there in price, and I was thinking it would be much cheaper to use reenactor BP. I think for the shotgun, reenactor would work and be OK, but I was wondering about the pistols and rifle.
  4. Something similar with me. Moose milk or murphy's mix. Tooth brush works good but I use a dental gum brush. It's like a tooth brush but with a smaller head. Works great for getting under the extractor hook. I shoot black powder and have never taken the bolt out or had a problem with the extractor when cleaning it with the brush.
  5. don't have to pay for and go through a background check if living in California.
  6. +1 Right now (as of this post) they're going for $59.86/1K (Before Hazmat, S&H and any taxes) You can always go to shootingbot.com to look for primers. You might not get every place out there, but you'll get a good variety.
  7. I use a LEE turret press that I've had since the mid 1990's. I don't load thousands of rounds a month but probably thousands of rounds every quarter () and only have used 2 maybe 3 of those indexing squares. I never seem to have a problem with them wearing out. Guess I'm lucky.
  8. Different brands of Black Powder with the same granulation (something like FFg) and the same volume will weigh differently. I had that problem when I switched from Schuetzen to GOEX. I tried weighing samples of the two powders so that they were equal in weight, When I put them in the casing (.38-40), the GOEX didn't quite fill up the casing as much as the Schuetzen did. Had to add a tad more GOEX. Not much, but just a bit. At least that was my experience.
  9. Looks good but that Hornady stuff seems kind of expensive.
  10. EXACTLY!! Maybe I'm missing something, but I've always wondered why no one (at least I don't think so) has ever made a brass adjustable powder measure (like the ones used to measure "grains by volume") for Black Powder that just measured volume (C.C.s) period. End of sentence.
