I watched Last of the Mohicans (1920) silent on Amazon. Wallace Beery cast as Magua. Pretty interesting film. Selected for the National Film Registry in 1995. I don't know how to add it here.

You have provided answers to the most obvious questions. Do you have any factory rounds that you could try? It is possible that the chamber might be a little too tight.

I hate cutaways. A good bunch of firearms destroyed. A great collection, though. That fellow in the video should have known a bit more about some of the firearms he showcased; particularly target rifles from the Creedmoor and Sea Girt matches in the late 1800s.

Saturday was my bad day. I'll buy you a round.

Tom,
As Duelist I pick up the pistol one handed, if it's staged on a table. Same with the second pistol. Having pistols staged on the table does not require the use of both hands as it would if one only shoots duelist or CC with the dominant hand. Unless the rule, as stated above, changes, the pistol has to be picked up one handed.

Assuming smokeless powder CLP works for me. Also have used Slip 2000 EWL (Exterme Weapon Lube).

I second that. Good match. Good folks.
BTW, Graybeard, I have parts for a new squib rod.

Several actors were said to be very fast. In the fast draw competitions in the '60s the fastest was Jerry Lewis; so some have written. Another fast draw was Sammy Davis Jr. Both used six guns and rigs in their club acts and, in any event, were quite good.

Got to do three plays and then a torn Achilles. Out for the season, probably. A lot of money for nothing.

The story was told, loosely, in the film The FBI Story starring Jimmy Stewart.

After you have been reloading a while you will develop your own process. Some folks deprime and tumble (wet or dry), some clean primer pockets, some don't. I tumbled brass once and didn't see the point. Now I deprime by hand, inspect the pockets as well as the entire case, and clean the pocket if it looks too dirty. Not the fastest way to do it, but I don't shoot more than 2,000-2,500 a season now.

34 minutes ago, Subdeacon Joe said:
Ken Curtis had quite a good voice. I believe he also sang with The Sons of the Pioneers.
Yes. Sang with Tommy Dorsey's band briefly and was married to John Ford's daughter for a while.

I use Titegroup for both 45 Colt an 44-40. Usually a couple or three tenths above the minimum load. I also have used HP 38 successfully.

Welcome aboard. Go to some shoots, ask questions. It's said the people come for the shooting and stay for the people. Good luck.

So long, Jimmy. RIP.

Hah! You should try Uzbek Air!

From what I remember Jim West carried a Colt with a 4 3/4 inch barrel in a holster that was long enough for a 71/2.

The film clips of mechanized vehicles give an erroneous view of the movement of German troops and supplies during WWII. Over 75% of transport was via horse.

Just saw the last episode. The last ten minutes were what the series could have been. If there's another series it might be better.

Not a good photo. I see, I think, W C C on the left side of the case; perhaps Western (Winchester) Cartridge Company? If the other marks are a date then probably a military round. Is that a 7.62x51case? Very similar to 308, but slightly longer, which could cause a failure to extract/eject.

Still shown on TCM on Saturdays.
