50-50 acetone and ATF beats Liquid Wrench according to Popular Mechanics.

Crystal!

If you cannot find the cowboy dies the regular RCBS .44-40 dies will work OK if you replace the expander plug with a larger one which actually measures .428-.429 diameter and NOT .425 like regular...

Great as expedient cannon bore cleaner on 105mm and 155mm as well as 20mm auto cannon.

You really want to measure barrel groove diameter on the Winchester '92 as dimensions vary.
I have seen original barrels as large as .435". My Pietta and Uberti revolvers have .430 cylinder...

First you need to slug the rifle barrel to determine groove diameter and on the Italian revolver measure cylinder throat or ball seat diameter. The Accurate 43-215C bullet is a well proven design...

Determining factor in cylinder blow and top strap failure is whether you get symphahetic discharges of rounds in the adjacent chambers. If this happens all bets are off.

A double charge in .38 Special will not blow the cylinder. It takes a combination of multiple charges and increased seating depth which compresses the powder above 100% of load density.

Thanks to Larry Gibson for pressure testing in his Oehler 43 PBL.

AND these have been pressure tested not to exceed 20,000 psi. While exceeding SAAMI MAP for .44-40 these are well within safe design limits for heat treated post-1920 Colt New Service, Winchester...

The .44 Magnum and .44-40 have almost identical powder capacity. There is no issue using .44-40 data to assemble reduced power .44 Magnum ammo. A charge of 6-7 grains of Bullseye or TiteGroup works...

You can mail a personal check with paper copy application printed from back cover of The Fouling Shot.

Join the CBA and buy a set of CD archives of The Fouling Shot.

In use roll crimp .45 Auto Rim or .455 Webley dies with .45 Colt shell holder.

That FN58 ammo is Berdan primed. Not worth the effort.

One drop only of 2- cycle oil on the sprue plate pivot screw. One drop only on a Q-tip to lightly lubricate the alignment pin bushings. With new mold boil blocks in tap water with a squirt of Dawn...

I see no need for the .327. I have two Ruger Blackhawks in .30 Carbine. One with 7-1/2" barrel and the other professionally shortened to 5-1/4". The .30 Carbine with full charge factory loads beats...

USAA Half Century Member. Both home and auto. One house fire, one tornado two cars totalled when struck by drunk drivers. No complaints.

You can increase the Bullseye to 2.5 grains in the I-frame or 3 grains in a J-frame or 3.0 and 3.5 of 231. These should not be exceeded if you want the guns to last.

MEASURE the cylinder throat diameters with zz- minus pin gages or by driving a dead-soft, pure lead round ball through each charge hole and measuring with a micrometer. For a rifle do a pound cast of...

In the Cowboy load section?

No .32-20 data there I could find.

Water filled gallon plastic water jugs. At least four deep.

Agree. The kids today do not measure. We may have met years ago when I was at Ruger and I believe you may have been at New Haven, CT Winchester. Enjoy your posts. Jay Jarvis and Dave Zaidan were a...

With Accurate Molds you can specify alloy and indicate whether you want the 0.002 tolerance positive, negative or centered. I order most molds with nose tolerance negative to enter cylinder thoats...
