- A few months back...the first time on paper with the Browning 1885! The cast LEE 457-340F coated with IVC Silver provided by @mckwilly has a nice "lead like" appearance.
Hey "MCK" Mark...Thanks for the powder!
I have a .50-110 Winchester high wall in India, I read somewhere that only 2 weapons were made by Winchester in that caliber in this model. Nice video 👍
@@worldofmudholhounds.751 Very cool - thanks for the note!
Have an high wall 1885 45-70 and 1885 low wall 6.5x55. Love hunting with both of them. Great rifles.
@@robertdunbar5854 I really enjoy this one. Thanks for the note!
Beauty Curtis! I have a Browning BPCR in 45/70.
Thanks, CW! It’s a joy to shoot. 🙂
@@WilliamCChapin Im sure nicer than my steel plate!!
Can you shoot smokeless any good through those BPCR models?
@@andrewboore3899 Yes just set with barrel and sites for that competition.
This was awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing and please continue to do so!
You’re welcome! It’s great that you enjoyed it. 🙂
I have an 1885 Low Wall in 17 WSM. About the same thing as yours. 😂
Yesterday I was burning Trail Boss in a new-to-me 458 Win Mag with 405 gr cast. Um, it's a work in progress. Lol
Thanks for sharing!
I like Trail Boss, it fills cases nicely. That being said, I have found other "fast burning" powders to perform more consistently in moderate reduced cast bullet loads. I have experienced weirdness from Trail Boss at charges other than the quite light loads.Thanks for the note, and have fun with that big Win Mag! That's a cartridge that I'd like to mess around with someday. 🙂
@@WilliamCChapin I've read that Trail Boss doesn't like to be compressed.
For bottlenecked cast loads, I love A5744. IMR 4759 also has many uses. Too bad it was discontinued. I picked up, and am looking forward to trying, some Shooters World Buffalo powder. It shares similar traits with 4895, only different burn speed.
@@luvtahandload7692 There’s conflicting “information” regarding compressed Trail Boss. Hodgdon publishes compressed loads while at the same time recommending only a percentage of a case full. I find that it is hard on bullet bases, and can produce soldered case necks. I also like 5744, and 4759 when I get lucky and find it!
Coolio. I have the mold and both those powders. I should cast up a few and try your loads out of my Henry 45-70 one of these days. 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
I didn’t put any thought into these, Walter…pretty much a first attempt starting load. I think you should do the load development and give me the scoop on what works! 🙂
Beautiful rifle. 👍
Thank you! 🙂
Awesome Range Report 👍
Thanks Mark! 🤠
try one of the O-style front sight inserts, they are designed to go around the outside of your 8" black bullseye. I also like the the yellow lens for that too! I shoot an 1885 Browning HiWall in 38-55 with a Soule long range rear on it, supper accurate with a cast 340g bullet.
They are very enjoyable rifles to shoot! I do use the round inserts to "ring" the black with this rifle and others with similar sights. Thanks for the note. 🙂
I had an 1885 Browning like the one in this video. It had no tang for the Soule sight. I got rid of it and got an original in 45/90. Did you screw the Soule sight into the wood stock?
@@marvinrayweast The rear sight on my rifle is a Williams FP”1885. It mounts with screws into existing threaded holes.
Beautiful rifle you got there. My Marlin cowboy likes that Lee 340 gr bullet. I seem to shoot better with a 6 o’clock hold when using irons. 🎯
Thanks, GeorgiaBoy! Recently, I’ve been shooting it with a ring that just shows some white around the spot - it’s been working well on several of my rifles with peep sights. Thanks for the note. 🙂
Nice shooting, beautiful rifle.
Thank You! It's a lot of fun with the light loads. Someday, I'll man up and run something with some power. 🤭
🙂I'd be the other way around! Subsonic, duplex projectiles! LOL@@WilliamCChapin
@@HobbiesHobo Hmm… 🤔
Darn, wanted to see the 3rd group with sight and hold adjustments!
The 6 O'Clock hold was more difficult - then I switched to an aperture, which worked well. Thanks for watching, JCM!
Beautifull rifle
Thank you! I was thrilled to acquire it. 🙂
when you get sick of the iron sights and really want to make this gun accurate murphy precision make a beautiful picatinny rail for these . nothing like seeing your shots all in the same hole !!
Thanks for the recommendation. 🙂
So you use lube in addition to powder coat ?
Yes, I do sometimes. I look at it more like powder coat in addition to the lube. Even if I mess up the lead hardness and lube, the powder coat will help prevent leading even further. 🙂
That is a purdy rifle .
Thank you, Mr. Pollard. 🙂
Its not the weapons fault🤷
@@thorhammer816 Yeah…the guy that loaded the ammunition and fired the shots is the whole issue. 🙂
it really looks like your eye is much too far away from rear aperture - maybe the stock is too long
I’m pretty short… 🙂
