Maybe you could wear an electric Indian blanket? I can dig up an extension cord or generator! See you Sat.

Let me get this straight, while everybody is working hard getting the range set up. Your job is to walk around and take pictures? Rough job if you can get it! Oh I get it you are getting your trigger finger in shape! Will miss giving you a whopping at Tusco You and Kay have fun this week. Charlie -
Red was one of the "Good guys" you read about and was a pleasure to be around. Always looked forward to shooting with him and visiting afterwards. I admit I am not a very religious man, but I hope God looks down and smiles upon him and blesses him. He deserves it. Good luck Red.

Remember Greenie caps for cap guns?

Ah Shootin Shells, my neighbor and I got guns for Christmas. Found out you could blast Christmas ornaments to pieces with them. Never got caught at either house. We made sure we did not shoot enough that we would get caught. Boy was that long ago! -
Yea, but I was told you do not use powder when reloading just magnum primers!

Being a solid frame is a big plus as far as strength. If you stay with 32 Colt you will need to load Heeled bullets. I chambered mine so 32 S&W long will not chamber all the way. I chambered it so only a case as long as 32 rimfire long will chamber and load with black powder to duplicate original cartridge power. Did not want someone to shoot a S&W long factory cartridge in it. I much prefer the larger action rifles to convert and shoot. Good luck

If it is a takedown model it will not take much pressure before it shoots loose. I use conversion brass I machined myself. Primed with acorn blanks and loaded with black powder. I have not shot it much but the last time the take down screw seemed loose when I cleaned it. I think I may loctite the barrel in the action to take some of the pressure. The rolling block is one of my favorite actions but they are not as strong as they appear to be. They are plenty strong for black powder pressure they were designed for. Have fun and use common sense when reloading.
-
By the way what size of action is it, that would determine what to do with it. Do not give up on worn rifling. If there are no pits in it I would give it a try. I have several rifles with faint rifling that shoots acceptable. I have a 32 and 25 that shoot 2 inch groups at 100 yards with good handloads. Charlie

My father liked pickled pigs feet and I ate them as a kid. Looking at a jar of them now makes my stomach churn.
