Or Pedersoli for Italian guns.

The other half of it: A friend of a friend was looking to get rid of shot shell reloading equipment from her dad‘s collection (Parkinson’s, he’s no longer shoots). I purchased much of it add the rest of it went on Craigslist. I found this powder in a 20 gauge reloader, 7/8oz, mec 24 bushing. Which I thought was way overloaded, no matter what powder! Clays is a 12 gauge powder and rather light per cc. I load Longshot. I came across a dozen loaded rounds that I got from the 2000 empty hulls. I have an unloader coming from BP and let’s see what’s loaded in them. Two questions I’m going to gingerly ask: Did he have a reloading scale? What about the skeet and trap guns? Too many cans of worms. thanks for all the comments, Uriah

Folks, I ran this by copilot (AI), with the O’s, and it responded Longshot. I’ve got some longshot and it looks nothing like this. I’ve seen this powder before with the O’s, but I can’t remember. Thank you, Uriah

Ha, ha - his name is Governor Tim Walz

I have a Lyman site on my Rossi 45 colt, and I believe the barrel is 20 inches. I can’t elevate the site far enough to hit the target at 300 yards. It seems to me they do offer a site staff that’s bigger. With the Lyman site you’re going to be have to dealing with repeatability. I just can’t get used to the thread count and the hash marks with the old eyes. I fashioned a scale with a needle file on the staff. There is no scale. I should get a low soule sight, but I don’t like them on a carbine. Uriah

Chas, thanks, $17.69 per pound, not counting the partials.

Black powder for sale. FtF only. For whole lot: $230. (We’ll see how that goes). Diamondback 2F 5 pounds, 1/4 partial KIK 1.5 F - 5 pounds, 1/2 partial 2F - 2 pounds, 1/2 partial 1F - 1 pound Thanks for looking, Uriah

I believe these are Winchester style sights. Zika produced a version (he pass away 10 years ago), only his version was .51” across the flats. The right measurement is critical. .05” thickness, I’m not aware of any anybody that makes them. .01 thickness is what I use. It flop around somewhat, front to back, and is not critical. I had to take a needle file to get the aperture to fit. I just use a post and don’t change aperture. Uriah

Light weight compared to the rifle version and a shotgun butt! I like it! Uriah

I had the same thing years ago, three cracked cases out of 25. I should’ve annnealed and then loaded.

Cholla, 536 by weight. PM sent Uriah

Iron Jim, Here is what I use. 405 hollow base Lee mold or 457193 Lyman 415 gr. Large lube grooves. 25:1 lead tin 459 size, Lee shot unsized Lube with SPG, vigilante lube, Emmett, bee wax/oliver oil - no smokeless lube. Unsized cases so the bullets dropped in. 65-68 gr 2F, depends on the case capacity, RP, Win Card wad - tablet backing or Walter‘s wads. No card wad on the hollow base. In the early days, I would shoot the hollow base with cards wad, and they seem to do OK. Compression die. 0.15”- .20” Seat the bullet- drop in. Slight crimp. Blow tube I just use a half inch fuel line cut at an angle for inserting in the breach. 3-4 deep breaths. The air deep in the lungs has 100% humidity. The air in the airway is not. Deep breaths. Remove Condensation from the tube. I like the fuel line because it wraps around let the leg nice. Uriah

Thanks, Ridge Walker, Uriah

RB, I just noticed that the cylinders don’t have locking notches. The lock is on the star on the cylinder? Uriah

Light 20 gauge loads in a 12 gauge are good for the trap fields. 70 gr - 1 oz - 7 1/2, 2.5 inch, roll crimp on plastic. cowboy, even less.

Some more help identifying: 1896 Krag Muzzle end of barrel. Outside diameter.: Rifle typically .58-.60 Carbine typically .55-.58 thinner by just a tad (I got the measurements off of co pilot, artificial intelligence) I’ve got a 1898 Krags, one full size rifle, and one cut-off to 22 inches. Muzzle and outside diameter: Rifle .620 Cut-off rifle .658 - much fatter. Uriah

Springfield Rifle, carbine, 1895, or single shot? Just asking.
