[1887 shot gun]

your 87 will (should) like the cut down shells.. My China 87's seem to do better with them.. Ran regular crimps fine, just seem to work a touch better with the roll.

Have been shooting 87 for bout 10 yrs both black and smokeless.

And yes, run them hard. I shoot from the hip with mine. Have fun with it

Is your 87 stock ?

Or who did you have work on it ?

Im going to try both .

But I think the shorter shell with the roll crimp,

Will make things go a little smoother.

 

I cant wait till Im back on my feet .

So I can get back out and play !

Who made your 87?

Its a Chinese PW 87.

I took it apart and smoothed And polished things up .

Im just going for style not for speed :-)

Yup-

Make sure you keep the 2 carrier pivot screws 'TITE'

OK thank you .

What about loading a shorter shell .

Like a 2 3/4 trimmed to shells fully open to 2 3/4 .

And put a roll crimp on them .

This should prevent the shell from being to long after they are fired ?

[looking to get into 44-40 reloading]

For me I found when I load 44/40 .

I use a Lee factory crimp die .

This stops me from crushing the cases .

 

Some can crimp on the same seating die.

But it takes more time to set up right and get the feel right.

If you just seat with the one die and use the Lee factory crimp die to do your crimp

It will work great

Drive it like you stole it.

Im a 92 shooter with NO issues that most have .

I run it like I stole it .

 

So you are saying treat the 87 the same way !

[1887 shot gun]

I just recently bought me a 1887 shotgun .

Im not a fast shooter by any means .

I bought it because I like the style of it .

 

CAS is my peace of mind from the bussy life I have .

I dont take any of it seriously .

And love shooting with all the great shootes we have here in Michigan.

 

Im a dark side shooter

Just looking for some pointers to make things more fun

and less stressful with this shotgun :-)

[Rifle for B western]

I have three 92s that I would never sell .

I have one Marlin and have bought and sold several.

I would take a 92 over a Marlin every time .

But to each there own .

By the way John Wayne carried a 92 in most all his Westerns .

Just Saying 🙄

[Rossi 92 Questions, Update: Got my rifle...]

I currently have three 92s and two of them I will NEVER sell.

I also have a 1860 and a 1866 ansd a 1873 and a JM Marlin .

I keep going back to my 92s .

Lighter and I can run full speed ( for me ).

And most shooters Can NOT out run a 92.

Some Flitz and Micro fiber cloth will probably remove them scratches.
