Well obviously I’m too old and senile to be posting here much less fooling with primers and powder
Tried to pose a question regarding a suggestion in Venturinos “Lever Guns” but I put it on the 45-60 site….(sigh)
To get to the point:
He mentions shortening 45-70 dies to use reloading the 45-60
If this works then is the same course of action possible: using shortened 40-65 dies with the 40-60…
45-70 shortened for 45-60 reloading IAW Venturino
40-65 shortened for 40-60?
Thanks……..
I don't see why you couldn't use Starline .40-65 brass as a basis for .40-60 WCF cases.  The .40-65 WCF (also known as .40-60 Marlin) was based on a necked down .45-70 case.  I never had to do this as I had a bunch of resized and shortened .40-60 WCF cases made by Buffalo Arms.  Give it a try and let us know results.

I suppose you can add me to the list.  About 2008 I dropped in at EMF and was just visiting with Grn'l Grant, when he up and offered me one of theh last rifles he received from Uberti in 45 Colt as I had one of the 1st five 45 Colt rifles imported into the US thu him. So I became the proud owner of a Steel Framed 1860.  I'm now waiting on a Carbine length Steel Frame 1860.

USFA CSS / Re: 38/40 serial number

 :) King  ;)

Hanging it all out, based on the Roll Marks and SN, I'm calling it a US Parts gun.  Either way, it's and excellent example.  Cylinder shows signs of the action having been cycled several times at least.  Price isn't out of line with current trends for USFA offerings.

Your Move.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: 50-95 Express loading tools
« Last post by Boone May on Yesterday at 12:20:06 PM »
I am lucky enough to already have a better set of Express loading tools than what is offered.  I am also lucky enough to have paid way less than what this gent is asking.  I don't have the decapper pin...
The mold for this GI set is missing the plug that makes the bullet hollow point.
My set below along with an original box of cartridges.  Also adding the GI link for those inclined for a look-see.

The Winchester Model 1876 / Re: how long have you had a 76 rifle?
« Last post by Boone May on Yesterday at 12:01:36 PM »
I bought my first 1876 rifle in 1987.  Like Buck Stinson, I have owned about 30 over the years in all four calibers.  I currently have nine of them, all originals.  Three in .45-75, two in .50 Express, two in .40-60, and two in .45-60.  I am just the current caretakers of these fine arms.

STORM / Re: 1866 uberti stains on brass receiver
« Last post by Coffinmaker on Yesterday at 10:05:46 AM »

Actually, Black Powder and Subs will greatly speed the "Patina" process, but, unfortunately it isn't a quick process.  Takes time.  Just have to convince yourself to ignore the stains until the stains are everywhere.  8)

Oh, also, you may consider coming over to The Dark Side  ::)
