Thats the prize for your podium finish ?  dang  :D  wow...

Only gun I ever won was a door prize at the "Ladies Day" as RO volunteer.
It was Glock, one was for a Guest lady shooter another for a volunteer.
That was back in 2017 or 18. My name picket at random.  :)
 Sadly, Covid quarantine in "20" put an end to the annual event, and as of 2024 it has no plan to reinstate it  :(

BTB,  I later traded the Glock, even-steven for my Springfield 1911.  ;D

I'm looking at a USFA in 38/40, with the serial number being 22406. US parts gun? Turnbull CCH finish, 7.5" barrel, looks like new. Approximate value? Thanks.

Ah So Deska (Japanese for "No S&%T GI).  If I might, I would suggest checking with VTI, or EMF or Cimarron for a new Main Spring.  Specifically, PIETTA has a new "lighter" Main Spring in their GW II guns.  Very smooth, doesn't stack, and is not overly "light."  The new Springs came in my new El Malo.  I really like 'em.

Little Dalton,

If you are recreating the original, why not search and wait for an original Winchester bullet mold off of Ebay.  Since you are willing to spend 100+ for an Accurate, just get the original one in decent shape.  Then after finding that or before, just buy a Winchester 1882 -- 32WCF plier reloading tool off of Ebay, too.

Then the BP you stated using and these two 'will' recreate the original cartridge, all the way.

Starline brass and the right amount of powder will work up a good cartridge.

Just a thought.

This one followed me home from Alabama State Championship. Really clean .357 Magnum.

At this point, I attribute the misfires (I think there were two out of 30 rounds in the match) to an EXTREMELY hour-glassed mainspring.  ;)

The Winchester Model 1873 / Re: Recreating the original .32WCF loading

Of mine, only the 73 gets BP or APP and the Springfields Slim cast bullet on the left.

The Hi-Teks are on the right for the Smith & Wesson

I know you guys already know this, but Hi-Tec coatings do absolutely nothing for Black Powder shooters.  Shooting BP you gotta have enough BP compatible lube.  Hi-Tec is acceptable though, iff your shooting APP.

 :) Ah forgot  ;)

Abilene, since the cylinder isn't native to the gun, I'd also check the Head Space (fail to fire), although some of the fail to fire may be attributed to "operator error"  ::)
