  1. Pietta base pins work in an Uberti and Belt Mountain pins work great also.
  2. Agree that assistance is always offered for the physically impaired to participate. That is not the case here. This is a political situation.
  3. This happens at my club all the time. An adult is routinely allowed to use a 410 shotgun. The 410 will not reliably knock down the shotgun targets so the targets are brought closer to the firing line. Sometimes in line with the pistol targets at about 7 yards. Now everybody gets sprayed with birdshot. Move the shotgun targets to 10 yards or beyond and the backsplash is greatly reduced or eliminated. Again the 410 shooter is upset because some targets may not go down. Never a problem with 20 gauge or larger.
  4. There is extremely light recoiling ammunition available for the 12 and 20 gauge and light weight firearms to handle those gauges are available as well. What’s the point in reducing the caliber requirement? Where does it end? Why don’t we just shoot 410s and rimfire?
  5. I’ve just begun to play with the Cowboy 45 special using a 45 Colt sizer and a ACP taper crimp seater. A 180g RNFP on top of 4.0g of Red Dot works pretty well.
  6. When casting 405, 500 and 535 g bullets I have much more consistency using a ladle. Most of the smaller bullets I cast get pored from the bottom of the pot with acceptable results.
  7. PGW Super Short stroke kit with light weight carrier and lightened springs.
  8. You can also look at Slippery Bullets sight. They list a few 38 cal bullets without crimp grooves.
  9. Plus 1 to Cholla. However. There has been recent discussion on the CZ Sharptail and slicking that double up for our game. It’s a really nice shotgun. Outside hammers will be a little bit slower but the CZ Hammer classic is a very nice gun as well.
  10. I was loading .32 S&W in new Starline cases a couple weeks ago. Using Remington primers I had no problems at all.
  11. Any recipe for venison you like should work fine. Caribou recipe as well.
  12. I have removed the stock so I can shorten the length of pull for my wife. This is the last opportunity I’ll have too mess with your head. This is the overtravel with a rod length of 3.630” and the second pic is the other side at 3.631”. Easy does it.
  13. This is very interesting. I have two of the Cimarron 1878 12 gauge 20” hammer guns in the house. Wife and I use them as backups mostly. These are maybe 2 years old, have not been shot a lot and have functioned without complaint. I have lightened the springs also. The odd thing is these guns are marked Cimarron with no embellishments and blued not case colored. The only other marking is on the water table. Stamped in is Daudsons Armoury Peshawar, Pakistan. I wonder how many sources Cimarron uses for the same model?
  14. Keep the 535 and buy another mold for your rifle.
