My standard load:

I ordered some pp bullets & paper from buffalo arms. Going to give those a try soon.

I have 2 other Remington #1 sporters a 40-70bn & a 45-70.

I could not chamber the RCBS bullet in my rifle using the BACO .348. Its .013 neck thickness was just too much. I ordered a few RMC at .009 to try and they worked fine then Jamison came out with their excellent product and I stocked up.

You have an idea what your groove diameter is?

I've a 38 centerfire that has been relined to 38-55 and a pretty nifty 32 rf with a set trigger thats on its way to become a 50-70. Sadly the original beech combo and RR sight are gone. Here's the .32 rf prior to shipping.



Someone had receiver stipled to cut down glare I guess. Its amazing how popular the .32 was for target shooting. [img][/img]
