Let me get this straight. The movie, “Winchester 73” was an actual 1/1000 gun? Add not some prop gun?

I’d be interested in 100-200, shipping.
I prefer Rem ( all the cases now are Remington). But, I can make it work.

HK Uriah,
To me, how straight the bullet is seated, within the case.
1. You can’t measure it on a loose fitting case. Fire form brass that’s been unsized.
2. Measurement off because of unevenly in the neck. When I turn brass, often one side get straightened by more than the other side. .001”

I ocasionally have bullet runout on 45-70. doesn't seem to matter what bullet i'm loading. 405, 340, Bullets sized 458. Starline cases length checked, cleaned. Some anealed Thought it might be my Lee dies, changed to RCBS same problem. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Rebel Bill
How much?
I haven’t paid much attention to it because I don’t resize my bass. When I did, neck size only, I would get, .002-.003
That’s the best I can do.
If you’re resizing the bass, go and seat a bullet with the last driving band out. Then measure it, the first driving band and the nose of the bullet. To me, that would indicate whether your molds at fault or the dies.
Here’s a case for a co-axial press?

I have an older 1866 Uberti with a lever safety. I guess that's what ya call it. I would like to smooth the cycling up a bit. I have to think about squeezing the lever now. What are my options on spring kits?
Spiritmaker,
I had one just like you, Uberti, Navy Arms, 16” trapper.
I shaved the spring down and it promptly broke. I used it as is with the broken spring. The safety hangs down. and works as it should in the firing position. I couldn’t believe how smooth the trigger was with no spring.

Bama Kid,
I believe you have a compression die set up in the expander die. The 45 to denotes that.
Has pictured below I have a compression 45 die and an expand .459/.461 set up in another die.You have a a good set of dies!

Bama Kid,
The expansion die, what insert does it have? The inserts are marked on the top. I.e. .461- 463
Buffalo Arms supplies them in various sizes.
The RCBS insert for the expansion die doesn’t work for lead bullets.
I clued Mongo in on the die set.

Mongo,
Are they rifles or carbines?
Carbine 45-70, 55 gr black powder, 405-414gr bullet, card fillers.Rifles 45-70, 63 gr, 405-414 bullet, single card.
25:1, 30:1 if you’re going to cast bullets.
Emmett’s lube, pan lubed, cut from the lube with a oversize 4570 cartridge , drilled out on the end, Allen key inserted to expel the bullets.
The first firing is the tricky part, getting all the bullets in place. thereafter, don’t size them and the bullets will drop into place.
That should get you going.

Very similar to a savage 1899 tang sight.
Has a carbine butt plate.
I like it!

I used it in the shotgun, since that was so easy to clean.
Abilene,A cartridge shotgun?
About 40 years ago, I bought some Pyrodex for my muzzleloader. It was new to the marketplace. Within 10 shots I could detect a hangfire. The next shot, ANYONE could see, I had a hangfire. Even with a hot shot nipple.
I’m sure Pyrodex improved their products. But, that is the last time for me.

If people would stop posting their email addresses, phone numbers, personal names and addresses in their ads or answers to ads it would cut down on the scammers available victims. Almost weekly someone in the classifieds posts their email address or phone number. The moderators can’t possibly be expected to monitor these things 24/7 so help them out when we see someone post that stuff and report it and it will be deleted. We’re not in kindergarten anymore and these scammers know what they’re doing and helping them out with that personal information is foolish and just asking to be scammed.
Yul Lose,
I don’t post none of that. However, a scammer got my email account from somewhere. Emails are required for the account set up.
Back door to account set up?I posted my name and email to the search function, and got no hits. I even went to copilot with the same information, no hits on copilot.

Kid Death,
Sorry, I am being scammed. The message I receive by email. The Kid doesn’t know my email address. I removing my email from my account 6+ years ago.
That’s why I contract via message, and your messaging is full. I have to rely on the ad.
This is no way involves Kid Death, it’s a scammer.

Were you using real BP or APP?
Black powder.
The measures internal parts are made of brass and that’s fine. The body of the measure is cast-iron. That is not.

Scooping powder with a LEE dipper is getting a bit thin, I'm looking into converting one of my Lyman 55s to dispense BP for shotgun. I'm trying to source aluminum and/or brass for the hopper and drop tubes
Be sure to clean out the Lyman 55 when you get done with black powder. I should have known better, but, I let BP sit in the lineman 55 for a week, it gets really hard to cycle it. Full disassembly and the measure, kind of getting back to normal, but not nearly as smooth as it once was.

Equal parts?
I use moose milk: Napa oil water solvable: 1/8 with water. In a spray bottle and I spray liberally, the moose milk will run out of the barrels. A couple of minutes soaking. Repeat.
I do all my 90% cleaning at the range or in my garage. I finish up ballistol in my basement.

Colorado Coffinmaker,
I recall 30 years ago, that that Ruger 45 revolvers, had a tight spot from the frame. I confirmed that on the Ruger 45 Blackhawk that I owned. Shoving a lapping slug at the muzzle and it was tight as it entered the frame. I fired lap the barrel, I don’t know the count of it, 30-60 times.
You ever done that?
