Just needs a bit of work

I used ur setup, how do u keep the bags from having gasses build up and then causing them to open and leak into the cooler full of water?

Thanks for sharing very helpful for a beginner like myself, picked up a lot of great tips

Normal 1866's were 3 band like the 1863 muskets. There was speculation that some were shortened hence the 2 bands. Nothing official from Springfield.

Thx very useful. I don't know if I missed it, but how long should the skull stay in the ammonia for degreasing @ 120 degrees?

anyway I can message you directly?

This is definitely something you could restore and shoot. The sights are simple and can easily be fabricated. Similar screws are easy to get online, "track of the Wolf". Everything else is time and effort.

Hey I bought one also from IMA and I got screwed a little too. I can tell your lock plate isn't going to line up with the hole for the screw. But my lock plate would line up with your screw hole. Also it appears your lock plate would line up with my screw hole. How about we trade lock plates?

I have the 1837 rifle, i thought the 1841 didnt have a patch box, ive see others that didnt have it

Good stuff thanks

Excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks for the degreasing tips!

Go to “Ballwright Hand Loaders” site on UA-cam and Spence Wolfs book on loading the proper black powder loads for all 45-70 cartridge loads for Springfield Rifles and carbines. It’s THE BIBLE on all Black Powder Cartridge loads.

Works great for me! Love depriming thousands of rounds while streaming. Much better than on my press.

Great demo! I absolutely hate decapping on my reloading press. That garbage gets everywhere and can mess up the loads and the loading gear. This decapper appears to catch and contain the mess that decapping makes . It's not $29 anymore. The cheapest I can find is ~$35 and free shipping. Thanks!

From what I've read from when the Union & Confederacy were ordering these in the early 1860's, the condition of this is about on par with the military surplus at the time. Order 3 rifles, cannabalize, and make up 2 that will work kinda situation.

When you received it, was it in shooting condition

Thank you. Very helpful.

Wood shrinkage and worm holes are common with their older model rifles. But overall you got a decent example and should clean up ok.

So badass. These are priceless, you are a lucky man because there are a finate amount of these. I'm researching and about to buy one myself. How did it clean up?

mine just came in the mail !! using it now for my 223 / 556 mil crimp !! love it !

Need more videos on this

Need more videos on this

Have you had any trouble out of this cannon?

Great info I've been seriously thinking about getting into loading 45-70 black powder and casting. What velocity are you getting from that load? Are you shooting a lever action or single shot? I would like to get both probably start with a 1886 but I also really like the 1885 and the Sharp's. Thanks 👍

Great i have been reloading 45 70 for years great shot vdo

Great video, thanks!

What is stopping me from pressing a copper plated bullet on top of black powder substitute?

Ordered one; think those are collets not grommets but you own them so you can name them. Good job,

Great video, thanks

I've been thinking of this for some time to do a sort of 45-70 "special" for light recoil loads to do some speedier shooting as practice for quickly bringing rifle to shoulder and firing. About how does the recoil measure compared to a "standard" load of a 3 to 350grn projectile on a smokeless load? Lighter or about equivalent?

I want to make my own powder too. I watched on UA-cam how to diy and it’s easy. I don’t know if getting all 3 powders is very easy though

that simple huh... awesome! I make random things out of brass casings, you just helped me with that. thank you

I bought one of these do you know where I can get ammo for it

$0.21 per round. Let's see, that's $0.03 per primer(ish) and $0.18 per powder charge (give or take your local economy and when you bought your components). Free to reuse the brass and free scrap lead. If you made your own BP, you could get the cost to about $0.07 per round or even a little less if you bought the ingredients in bulk. A pound of Potassium nitrate costs about $5 at a popular Big Box hardware store. Elemental sulfur is so cheap it's almost free, and charcoal can be made from just about any clean scrap wood. Cost for the true penny pincher would be closer to $5 per pound of homemade powder, and yes, you can make it a little better(more powerful) than what they sell in the stores as proved every year in pyro competitions. Yes, it can also be done safely for those with the time to do their homework and not rush. Actually, it's handling the BP that's the dangerous part, and you're doing that already. Making it involves elements of handling with the associated risk, but this risk is not avoided simply by purchasing it. It's also legal (in most states) to make your own as long as you don't transport it across state lines, try to sell it, or end up storing huge amounts of it(Generally speaking, research the law yourself before you do any of this) It's incredibly rewarding to shoot a firearm with bullets AND powder that you made yourself. Ask me how I know. For a powder hungry cartridge like the 45-70, it's worth thinking about for those with the inclination.

Nice rifle.........not a musket Still a nice rifle. You should see the Baker rifle

I wish I could buy 20 rounds for 27 bucks here in Canada. It’s more like 55 bucks here!

That and if you’re like me, the process of loading your own ammo is as much of a hobby as the shooting itself

How much are these, like $50?

who makes the best brass?

Looks like a useful tool. How does it perform with crimped primers? At least one of the other hand deprimers I've seen doesn't do so well with them. Good job on the video.

Looks nice though

Man, your late to the game. The best ones sold "hand select" back in 06/08

We shoot it.

Cool gun, I was wondering, Is this gun to much of an antique to be fired or could you still load up a 50-70 government with blackpowder and it would still work?

Just buy a 100lb brick of lead

Good job. Definitely ordered me one!

When I started casting and reloading for a .357 mag, a box of 50 cost $1.13.5. Now I cast and load for every firearm I own and none cost more than $15 per hundred. If you want to shoot and shoot a lot, reload.

Hey I met you at field and stream and you said that if I was looking for some lead to contact you.

Is this tool can remove unfired primer?
