Took the 128 year old 1873 out for a shoot...Ugh!

My brass and dies finally came in for my old 38-40 Winchester.  The bullet mold arrived a few days ago. I cast up a bunch of 180g bullets and loaded ten rounds to see how the "sewer pipe" barrel would do.

Not so good! Can you say "key holing"!

There is a whole update on the entire 1873 Winchester project here:
