« Last post by DJ on Yesterday at 10:28:05 PM »That information about the 9th Cavalry and its Stabler cutoffs is something I had never heard before.
I would be interested in learning more details. Are you able to provide a source?

The Powder Room - CAS reloading / Accurate 2460 in .45-70
« Last post by Niederlander on Yesterday at 10:03:41 PM »Gentlemen, Can't find much of anything on this. Can you use Accurate 2460 in a .45-70 405 grain load? I ask because I have a few pounds of it and not a lot of 5744.

« Last post by 1961MJS on Yesterday at 09:10:12 PM »Hi Craig, those all look great.
What is the curved stamp that ISN'T a Veiner from Tandy? It's just a curved line that appears to be thicker in the center. I think I have the rest of those stamps and stamping along or between lines is something I can handle. Artistic I ain't.
Later

Gottagetanothergunitis.
There is no cure, but can be relieved temporarily by getting another gun.
As anyone who looks at my gun rack, closet, room walls, and under the bed can see i am a long time sufferer.
I hope this will help.
Bunk
I am as well. Sometimes, I am almost ashamed of myself.
Sometimes.

Spencer Shooting Society / Re: Looking at an original Spencer Rifle
« Last post by Arizona Trooper on Yesterday at 05:00:29 PM »On the possibility of original center fire conversions, there is a mention in Marcot's book of Frankford and Springfield making some bar anvil, Martin and Farrington centerfire Spencer cartridges for trials (pg 208 in the 2nd edition). I have never seen a Spencer with an obviously period conversion. However, Spencers weren't the only breechloaders chambered for Spencer ammo. I have a 56-56 Ballard rifle with a period centerfire conversion.
