    They destroyed a beautiful car and a Malibu.   Shame on them.    And I don't think either car had an engine in it.   

    Very fake news.

    From the very clean pics, that Bel Aire was worth 2x the Malibu.  At least.

    How can you say Fake News??? :angry:The whole object of the video was to show you the difference between the old technology and the new tech. It has jack shit to do with the niceity of the cars, and wether they had engines or not, what rubbish.

    These people don't conduct tests half heartidly, they NEED to know the results.

    As for the drivers the one in the 59 Chevy would be dead, but the other one looks like he would have survived, look at the steering wheel it virtually remained in place.

    Jackaroo, apparently I can't message you here on the forum.  I'll then calculate an exact shipping cost, and you can decide if this is how you want to proceed or not, OK?

  3. Anyone out there who can help me find one of these, or where can I purchase one please.

    It's an extractor for a H & R Buffalo Classic Rifle 

    Model 1871 45/70

    Serial # HX2191134

    You see the end has broken off on left hand side.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'll be interested in the replies to this one myself.  I tried loading N320 in 38 special with 105 grain bullets, and 3.5 grains of powder.  Shot nice, but very dirty.  I could see unburned powder coming out of the barrel of my pistols.  I have used N320 for 9MM and 40 in the past, but at much higher pressures than we use for cowboy loads.  I'd like to use it since I have several pounds of it, but haven't been able to make it work for me yet.

    It's actually a very clean burning powder, reason why yours is dirty is not enough powder or change the bullet to a 125 gn, or crimp it harder.

    I've loaded N310 and it's clean with 3.0 gns of powder

  5. If the lever is not closing against the frame then the lever where it engages with the lifter arm is hard up against it and the lifter is coming down to quick. Check inside  the

    lifter you will probably see a scratch up on the upper side where the round slides through meaning the lifter is coming down too soon.

    Grind and polish a little off the front part of the lever inside where it makes contact with the back of the lifter arm to give it a bit of tolerance.

    It's the maching of the alumiuim lifter, measuring it against a brass one will show many differences. 

  6. So OK none of you on this thread ever buy any new loaded ammo. So if no one is buying new loaded ammo then how do the likes of Choice Ammunition, Ten X and Bullets by Scarlett keep in business?

    Sooner or later you need to replace the brass you've lost, so why would you buy just brass when you can buy newly loaded cowboy ammo with new brass and you get to shoot what you've bought and save the reloading time.??

    Those companies are selling new 38 special with Hi Tek coated bullets with cowboy power factors for 68 cents/round =$680.00/1000

    The reason I ask is that I have approx 1000 rounds of new ammo (same spec as Choice or Scarlett's stuff) with 125 and 158 I'm never going to use and only asking $500.00

    And all packed in Caseguard boxes plus shipping or transported to a range near you or it can be arranged.

    Hit me up.:D

     

  7. Yep always a great match, we've done it about 6 times as it was always the weekend after EOT, and Kathouse Kelli's birthday on the 4th July. :D

    Check out Kat's blog on FB at Adventures of Jack n Kat.:wub:

    I'm at 5 cents/bullet, 6 cents/primer and 3 cents/powder. I don't include brass as a cost because I still find plenty of once fired at the range. I have more than I'll ever use. I'll will add 1/cent for misc.  So that's $7.50/50. 

    Where you getting bullets at $25.00/500 and where are you buying primers at$ 60.00/1000 ????? Inquiring minds would like to know.:blink:

  9. So cowboys, with all the higher prices now for almost everything how has it affected your cost to reload?

    Be interested to hear what y'all have worked out to reload 38 special with a 125 gn and/or 158 gn pill.

    Cost must include new brass as sooner or later you're gunna haveta replace your split and lost brass.

    Brass, powder, primer, & projectile.
