Lee made two styles of the 358-125-RF mold, so a top punch made for the one on the left is going to leave a ring gouged into the nose of the right one. As above, just use a flat punch or fit it to the nose with a dab of JB or epoxy. Smear a bit of vaseline on the bullet so it doesn't get glued to the punch.

My late buddy JINKS, which stood for "Just an Imaginary Name for Kris Stanley". He was aiming for a steampunk look and pulled it off pretty well. Woke up dead of "natural causes" nine years ago at 48.- 29 replies

Taylor's Spencer in .44 Russian
Three Foot Johnson replied to H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619's topic in SASS Wire
I was going to use my Armi Sport .56-.50 Spencer in Wild Bunch one time, and found out, although the rifle is legal, there is apparently no exception for .56-.50 like in CAS. The rifle is legal when used with cartridges it was never originally chambered in, but not the original .56-.50 chambering... go figure. https://wildbunch.sassnet.com/topic/919-56-50-legal/#comment-6766 -
I used the one pictured in Black Hills Barb's post above for a lot of years, but I'm 6' 4" and north of 300, +gunbelt, guns, etc, and it always worried me a bit when I sat on it. This one is a little heavier constructed and has a back, but it's too tall, even for me. I cut 4" off each leg with a tubing cutter. Mainstays, from Walmart.

I've only seen a couple ever come up for sale. I don't know how they got around the problem of feeding such a short cartridge. They hold 9 instead of 7 like the rest. -

As best as I've been able to tell, this 10g American Arms Fox Patent Side Swing was made between 1870 and 1872. I've used it in several matches.

As Marauder said, your M94 .30-30 is legal for Long Range rifle caliber lever action side matches - I've never seen this side match divided into black and smokeless, so either powder will work. Your '94 .44 mag is suitable for Long Range pistol caliber lever action side matches and also as a main match rifle. Once again, I've never seen the pistol cal lever action side match divided into black and smokeless. While there are black powder categories, of course, I've never heard of a smokeless category, meaning there is no category that specifies you must use smokeless powder. Black is good in all categories. In my limited experience with them, the Model 94 isn't a good choice for a main match rifle because the long action isn't made to feed the shorter .357, .44 mag, .44-40, and .45 Colt cartridges.

WooWooo, got it! Twenty days! -
NOT A DUPLICATE POST, I HAVE TWO OF THESE FOR SALE. 24*** serial number, so 1976 manufacture date. JM, pre-safety, one piece firing pin, blue trigger, 20" barrel, leather wrap. Tough to come up with a price on these, because there aren't any coming up for sale. I've seen ONE 1894s .44-40 sell on Gunbroker in the last three months, also used, and it sold for $1699, shipped, one month ago. I'll start at $1200 $1150 for this one, plus $50 shipping/insurance.

NOT A DUPLICATE POST, I HAVE TWO OF THESE FOR SALE. 25*** serial number, so 1975 manufacture date. JM, pre-safety, one piece firing pin, gold trigger, 20" barrel, leather wrap. Tough to come up with a price on these, because there aren't any coming up for sale. I've seen ONE 1894s .44-40 sell on Gunbroker in the last three months, also used, and it sold for $1699, shipped, six weeks ago. I'll start at $1200 $1150 $1100 for this one, plus $50 shipping/insurance.

Tough to come up with a price on these, because there aren't any coming up for sale. I've seen ONE on Gunbroker lately, used, and listed at $1670, shipped, but it hasn't sold, so that's likely too much. I'll start at $1200 for this one, plus $50 shipping/insurance.

This was less than a year and a half ago - two 9 oz bottles sold for $855, plus $30 shipping, plus hazmat. It was discontinued June 1st, 2018, and allegedly the silencer/sub-sonic shooters drove the price through the roof. $760 per pound... considerably more than silver...

If a shooter says they have "bad feet" and have to wear their Danners, what do you do? Make them bring a doctor's note?

If nothing else works out, eBay.

Mine made it to SLC earlier today. -
Messy? Amateurs! If you're right handed, I would put the press on the right side so you can set your loading tray and bullets on the left, convenient to pick up with your left hand. It seems clumsy to mount it on the left and either do everything with your right hand, or transfer cases & bullets from your right hand to your left hand to feed into the press. Probably why the press frame is offset to the right, to make a slightly bigger window for your left hand to work in.

Misplaced or lost? Things eventually make their way to my mailbox, but sometimes it takes awhile. I sold some stuff to Blackjack Ketchum a couple years back, and his check never arrived. After about six weeks, he sent out another one, and... both checks arrived on the same day about three days later. One of several one piece Marlin firing pins I've bought from Longhunter never got here, but he sent out a replacement. (Several years ago, but thanks again!) The first one never did arrive. A birthday card to one of my daughters with some cash in it arrived at her house, but the envelope had been opened and the cash was gone. Half a dozen items have arrived damaged over the years, but for missing stuff, that's it, I think.
