@@leonda4817 Hi. Thanks for your comment. Are optics allowed in your competition? This is not NRA match. It is a local event that generally follows NRA rules, but can make changes on approval of members of the shooting league. It has become less strict to encourage shooters. There has been a downward enrollment during the last 40 years, so making the rules less strict is an attempt to keep the league active in this area of the state. O.R.

@@patmancrowley8509 My 2014 catalog lists it as a.452, but it does cast a .454 which is what my Uberti Yellow Boy likes best. Maybe I’ll find my older catalogs. O.R.

@@straightpipec6099 Dido. I’m actually to the point of not being anxious about not being anxious. 😬. Didn’t see this one coming. O.R.

@@dorisjohnson8857 Right, have heard something about that UA-cam doesn’t care for loading data, but I have no problem with that. It was 4.5 grains in the Schofield case. That’s not recommending, just answering. That cylinder pictured that I was working with is actually a Kirst. It’s hard or impossible to get a Howell for a 1858 Pietta, or at least that’s my understanding. Too bad as the Pietta is a good shooter I feel. Hope this helps Doris. Just wondering if you think a video of shooting it would be useful, or there already too many out there? O.R.

@@oldranger3044 I've been using 5.2 grs HP-38 and a Lee 200 grs RNFP sized .452 "in 45 Schofield brass from a 5 1/2" 45 Colt Uberti El Patron and get 720 fps with SD 17 fps and ES 30 fps which seems pretty consistent with your findings . They do shoot well in my Uberti 1858 with Howell Conversion cylinder but I have not chrono'ed it. Really enjoyed this video and look forward to some follow ups.❤ DJ

@@dorisjohnson8857 Definitely good SD, and the numbers line up. When Midway had their savings over the 4th I pushed the buy it now and have been busy with a 45 ACP cylinder. Not as traditional for sure, but I have a lot of brass and a progressive press that has been idle too long. Positive results so far. Thanks for the info. O.R.

@@oldranger3044 " Doris. Just wondering if you think a video of shooting it would be useful, or there already too many out there? " O.R. Absolutely make that video Show us your experience: accuracy, any issues, tips, both smokeless and BP 💗👍DJ

@@dorisjohnson8857 Thanks and appreciate your encouragement. O.R.

No reason to thank me, the thing I think is golden is how you show that fine accuracy can be had if you understand that it isn't about spending huge amounts of money on fancy reloading equipment. Firearms are crude, the whole process of what happens in the chamber when the round is fired is crude. I see all this super mathematical process that some people on YT put into their process and don't have any better results that you do, they believe that reloading should be the creation of a cartridge is perfection and the creation of perfection is no error. That's the way they think of accuracy.

@@raystevens1458 👍

@@karsonbranham3900 Yes, I know that I can feel a difference of 50 ft/sec with no problem and I would bet that the recoil would be noticeable. 👍. O.R.

Thanks 👍

@@hazcat640 Lee markets it as a 452, but my casting gives closer to 454 or even 455. I’m using range lead which or course is not pure and it’s fairly soft. That and my casting temperature probably causes the increased size. Hope this helps. O.R.

@@oldranger3044 It did, thanks!

@@hazcat640 👍

I've had the best luck with that bullet, and that's the reason that I had the 454's lying around because my 45 rifles seem to like them best. O.R.

@@StevenMMan Be interested in your results. From the brass plugs I’ve turned (not sure about the correct method to slug barrel). It appears to be (pietta) .440. Haven’t tried the RugerO.A. You can drop me a comment in case I miss your video. Thanks. O.R.

@oldranger3044 will do not sure you have ever seen any my videos 🤔 but will do

@@Everythingblackpowder Thanks Jake. I’ve heard or read that older ones like the 454. I know the SA’s aren’t supposed to be tack drivers (somehow one of the folks who “should make their own videos” that normally hovers around your channel must have found mine), and reminded me. But, that Uberti 7 1/2 Custer replica comes darn close. Thanks for the comment. O.R.

@@cw2a No, haven’t. I feel the 450 is maybe too small for the Colt. I think the group however seems ok, a tad larger than the 454, but without a machine rest, and can’t really say that the 454 group wasn’t just better luck. O.R.

@@cw2a Great. 👍 Not that I’ve tried everything, but it’s been my go-to in the rifles as well. I’ve had a couple double cavities, one is first generation and tired. My new 6 cavity came in yesterday and anxious to put it to work. Thanks for the comment. O.R.

@@finn1728 Just like money in the bank, but more fun. O.R.

@@user-sh6ol6st3k I’d only be guessing or giving an opinion. Don’t know about you, but I’ve only been close to a mounted one. Man, they are huge ! If it were charging and pumped up with adrenaline, it would probably be smart to save a couple bullets for yourself and anybody else that’s with you. O.R.

@@scottydwallace Thanks Scotty. I’m doing my best to keep tradition going here in the family, but it appears now that I am “The Lone Ranger”. It was a big deal for my Mother’s Dad to celebrate getting freedom from the British. Ma said he always made sure they had firecrackers and cap guns, even in the Depression. Be real easy for me to go off on a rant here. Maybe next 4th (if there is one) weather will be cooler for you and can celebrate like you say, the way it was intended. I’ll be thinking about that and you. Thanks again for this important comment. O.R.

@@1pjlewis2 Somehow that’s one of the things I remember from when I first started. Move the rear sight in the direction that you want the bullet to move. So, to lower where you want the bullet to go, lower the rear sight. That will cause you to have to tip the gun barrel down to again align the sights to target. O.R.

@@SandlapperSam Good plan, and I like that you kept the original and “operated” on an outsider. O.R.

Thanks Dave. Another thing that bothers me is when someone looks at a group that probably has flyers and attempts to explain them away because they don't fit with the plan of claiming how good the load or gun is. Anyway, you're also correct about concentrating on the front sight, which is necessary. Thanks again for the support and encouragement. O.R.

@@oldranger3044Yes, agreed, I like how you put that "Don't fit with the plan" In other words,, does not fit with what is between their ears of the "Perfect firearm" shooting the "Perfect Ammunition" when they don' see that they are imperfect and are flawed, so much so they didn't see that flaw, they didn't catch that flaw, and they didn't correct that flaw. because they feel that they are capable of perfection and there is absolutely no reason to have doubt.

@@thorsaxe5881 Boy, that’s what I call nailing it down. Probably it has some advantages going through life that way, but good luck trying to fix or solve problems that don’t exist. We need to face facts, or admit they exist, without that we are lying - to ourselves. Stay safe and have a nice weekend. O.R.

@@olskool3967 Interesting. I’ve never given thought to how that saying originated. Never connected it to Southern states or that line of thought. I have heard of “gone down the river” sort of referring to having left or gone, floated away. As they normally flow south, possibly that would make to me more sense as to how the saying came about, or what it refers to. Now that you pointed this out, I’m going to think twice for sure before using it. Actually considered moving to Tennessee once, had a fellow tell me that being from the North , I’d never be excepted. Appreciate your comment. O.R.

@@olskool3967 Oh, another thing I just found out “google search “ was that Native Americans referred to going South after death. Anyway again, thanks for the comment. O.R.

@@johnndavis7647 John, it’s fabrics-store.com. IL019 natural softened. They have a huge selection. I ordered different weights. The light measures about .009. Medium .014 which I was using. I have some heavy and extra heavy that I haven’t tried yet. The natural would make great period shirts or pants, now I’m wishing I would have taken “home ec” in high school, but would have been the only guy there. Come to think about it, that might have been a good deal. Wondering if the saying “that’s shot” comes from what happened to wore out linen or other clothes, material was expensive and the new or good stuff wasn’t “shot”. O.R.

@@oldranger3044 you might be onto something there. Thanks for the info.

Thanks. Another viewer observed the same. For awhile I was thinking that somehow Remington (or me) had got a #10 into the #11 tin and it was inside each other, but then, I should have noticed it being more difficult to set on the nipple. What you said makes sense. O.R.

Thanks, when not shooting, I set it ahead on the rest, but I believe my hands and guard are both on the bag when firing, but will pay attention to that. O.R.

I want to say something like Sharron rifle works was doing kits back about then or before. Also Green River Rifle Works was doing darn good barrels. Lots of folks know more if you can get into the right forums. I wouldn’t doubt that flint was more common in the full stock. I started building because couldn’t afford custom. Turns out that with parts I have left over, and tools, I could get several. Thanks for your input. O.R.

Thanks Ray. I need to make something now that I can lift. That one was from the 90’s. Just wasn’t thinking long term. Full stock then seemed like a good idea. You can bet I’m NOT planning on a shorter version being a Bridger, unless I make a cart to go with it. O.R.

@@oldranger3044 my 45-110 1874 Sharps comes in at 13.8 pounds… 20 years ago I could pack her all over the high country in Wyoming… now I know why Yogi (my 29 year old horse at the time) used to glare at me when I put that thing in the scabbard. She is a bench gun these days so I hear you.

@@raytribble8075 👍

Thanks for the comment and tip. Rifle is one I did in the 90’s from some curly maple logs I sawed. There was a time I could sort of shoot it offhand. Now it’s more for “looking at “. O.R. ‘

@@oldranger3044 pretty gun

Hadn’t heard that expression before, thanks. I had some black 9mm’s. Must have tried a half dozen. I think they’re in Kansas now. O.R.

“You can put that there rifle on the bill too”. O.R.

Sure paid to post the video. Don’t know if I would have ever thought of that. As I think about it now, I sort of remember not having to remove the spent cap once. It would probably have been flanged out allowing it to fit over the one on the nipple. Great thinking and thanks. 👍. O.R.

Thanks Diana, will pass that on to the builder, well, guess you did. O.R.
