  1. Here's one I got off of Amazon.com. They have lots to choose from. https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Adapters-Calibers-Multiple-Powerful/dp/B0DFBNRBBQ/ref=sr_1_8?crid=26DVJVEBVHWOH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xsiP8YZfUN4fxBjlIqVzMA7qgn3OxWy0jbRvPep4O4dd7GC9hxyD26htxjoUf-fyNfOXHGTlpSMqmuvMQHPgJulaJfe31aHpSHlfKKfKuEg70DUSd-prUSyGU4c3JoRGaBsG4HerNA3Gd7N2qv-6onefw_XvIR1ZayxyJgoua4muK_4-Ie4ZDw3peJti-CQaAhthOhX9-c3sDqM9W7veJXA9N1Gd5wQFxkD9vznwRH-dsQzx1kJmZAR4Gxe21aVQCd0jycdFqpvkegle4WIuEKNC_FXh8umFWzYFnE91KSg.DVITYkPdAio4qRGsfnu63S0o3j_te9pKS5JU9GU1DjQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=laser+boresighter+kit&qid=1752512663&sprefix=boresight%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-8 Horace
  2. Hey, thanks ! I've been wondering about that. When my brother started CAS, he had bought his first match load of this. It seemed to work fine but I reload 45 Colt from mostly Starline brass. I've reused his AP brass, Starline and whatever the brass pickers think is mine without problems. AP brass is a little heavier that Starline. I reload for me and my brother. Horace
  3. I have some not on the list. It says "AP 45 Colt" Horace
  4. What about the investment in a unicorn ranch ?
  5. Probably the most dangerous thing we played with was hydroflouric acid. Has to used in a fume hood. We had our high school chemistry class in a college lab and we had access to the chemical closet. I did whip up some nitric acid in my little lab at home. Horace
  6. When I was a kid, I was quite the chemist. We did alot of rocketry and made some of our own engines. We were always making stuff that would burn or blow up. I even had a metal building in the back yard that was my lab. Lots of chemicals and labware. I found a recipe to make a paint that once dried, an impact would make it explode. One chemical that I didn't have was fulminate of mercury. So I started calling chemical suppliers to find it. One person told me "you can't buy that. It's too dangerous !" Sure enough, I couldn't buy it. Horace
  7. Well I'm using 5.2 gr. of WST in 45 Colt so it's working well for me. Certainly a squib ahead of a good round could be a hazard. Horace
  8. My wife and I each had a Ford Pinto when we married. Then bought one more later. I'm not so sure it's such a bad thing to lose a Ford Pinto. :-) Horace
  9. After reloading, I weigh each reloaded round and take apart any that are outside of certain weight parameters. So far, they have all been good, just variances in bullet or case weight. Horace
  10. Yes, butt it's all behind me. Horace
  11. We used to use sulfur and zinc dust also. Once we put a small container in a hole in the back yard with an Estes igniter and used a train transformer to set it off. It made the hole bigger for sure. We also mixed sugar and sodium nitrate and melted it over low heat to make rocket engines. I had a small metal building in the back yard that was my laboratory. Had lots of chemicals and glassware. It's a wonder I'm still here. Horace
  12. I might mention that the rear 2 inches or so of the barrel is what might be called a knoxform or octagonal section. The remainder of the barrel is round. This is an 1879 Remington rolling block. Horace
  13. Not looking to use dovetails to mount, since the rifle has no dovetails available and since your scope comes with round barrel scope mount blocks. I can have my gunsmith mount the blocks. The barrel is 35.25" long. I will check with him on monday and show him a pic of the scope. Horace
