I've had much better luck on Guns International, no auction foolishness. Set price, take it or leave it and better still seldom any sales tax.

54-310A is a heeled bullet. The heel is 0.525", and 0.542" ahead of the heel. I shot the old N-SSA Qwziak bullet for years, but it's a little too small for the second rifle, and Mike isn't making molds anymore. Too bad because that bullet shoots great. I'll post how the Accurate bullet does once the mold comes in.

From the Winchester Arms Collector's Association (WACA) forum I recently learned that some Jamison brass and loaded cartridges are available for sale by a collector.  He found them on an auction site and bought all of it.  Now he is letting it go to fellow collectors.  I bought some .45-75 and 50-95 Express cartridges.  Here's the information I received.

The fellow who bought that stock is Dave Plummer and this is the list of what he has for sale.

Very true.  They have increased algorithms to screen out certain messages/listings, but that's very different from actually engaging with scam situations.

Quote from: Delmonico on July 11, 2025, 11:44:51 AMWent to heart Dr yesterday for a checkup, nothing worse, a few things a little better, dropped on med.
That's great news, Del.

On another note, I'm having my teeth cleaned next week, and I need to take antibiotic pills before the cleaning due to a hip replacement. These pills have always been free. Today I was told the cost would be $149. When I questioned why the huge cost, they said tablets were prescribed and if I take capsules, they are free. Of course, I said give me the capsules. Go figure?

Quote from: Niederlander on July 11, 2025, 11:26:04 AMNope.  No personal info or anything.  Most people, if they want to make a deal, just change it to "Buy it now" with the agreed price.  Just seems like more and more people don't even want to answer a question.  Just a sign of the times, I guess.

more and more people are scamming on GB too, and GB is rarely policing.

All of the .56-56 Spencer carbines I have measured have bores that taper from breech to muzzle, usually about .545 just ahead of the chamber to .535" at the muzzle. A Lyman 533476AX hollow base mould, cast using Lyman #2 alloy and sized .538" with 18.6 gr IMR4227 gave a MV = 929 ft/sec, @ 70deg F, at 6,000 MSL, giving 3-5/8 to 4-1/8" groups at 50 yds. Cases were Dixie Gun Works .50-70 brass shortened and annealed. OAL ctg length 1.475-1.480". Bullet weight = 411 gr.

I have more data, using some Rapine moulds and other combinations, using Pyrodex RS and others. Not sure where one would find such moulds.

With arthritis in my right shoulder, and in deferrence to the age of the original gun and this shooter, I have quit shooting.  :-[
