I can get Schuetzen for almost $10 a pound cheaper than Swiss but if it is inferior to Swiss then the $10 is...

    Cast or swaged revolver bullets

    For people in the know. Is lead of a 20:1 mix soft enough for use in Remington and Colt replicas? I dont know all the mixes of lead, tin, or what ever. I can get some HBWC swaged of 20:1 fairly cheaply. How would these do in our cap and ball revolvers? Need some serious input here please. DL

    Covid and 48th Anniversary

    Took my young bride out today for our 48th anniversary. Avoided DFW like the plague. Took a short drive south east Athens Tyler area, hitting small antique stores on the way. Decided to eat at Aspen Creek Restaurant. Texas is face mask everywhere and so was the wildlife also. DL

    Got a question on pistol barrel

    I have question on a pistol barrel. The ASM CVA Prospector is a close copy of the Tingle single shot pistol. Does anyone here have an idea how these barrels were made.

    Any experience with CVA Wolf 45 cal inline?

    Does any one have any experience with the CVA Wolf 45 cal inline with a 1:28 twist? Looking for loads, function reports, accuracy, and reliability. This is a low end break over but is it a reasonably good value.

    Swiss, Goex ,T7

    This is a quick question for people in the know. If i was shooting say 70 grns 3F Swiss and ran out, what would the equal be in 3F T7 or 3F Goex to get the same pressure curve. I figure there should be a formula or something. I dont have a chronograph or such to compare. Shooting a 385 grn...
