Finally quit after thousands of rounds cast, 3 Quigley matches and use for over 2 years

Went out quiet, like a cowboy

F in the chat please lol

It says that using cast bullets in a glock may give poor results but would using cast bullets in a glock be unsafe?

I was recently able to get a can of Trail Boss and I also just got an M1888 Springfield trapdoor rifle

My load is 11 grains of Trail Boss, I decided to use 11 grains because the powder coat on my usally 405 bullets made then weigh between 418-423 grains and I looked at 485 grain load data so I bought the load down by 1 grain

My COL is 2.550in

What do yall think?

So... I'm beginning to start working on my Quigley match loads for next year

I'm planning on using either an Original M1884 or M1888 Springfield trapdoor rifle or an Original Ballard

I'm beginning tests with loads using H322 because I remember using H322 with good results in 45-70

The bullet is from a Lyman #457132 bullet mold, I used this mold for the bullets for last year's Quigley match with good results

The load is 36 grains of H322 with a COL of 2.835in, in my experience a COL of 2.930 is too long and the bullet will meet the rifling before the cartridge fully seats and I do not want to use a COL of 2.765 because I do not want to create too much pressure.

I am planning on using these in my original Springfield M1873 trapdoor rifle

I also have other powders available such as Accurate 5744 (which won't get touched until next year because it seems that AA5744 has gone the way of the dodo), H4198 and IMR4198

I'm looking at this Krag M1896 carbine that does not have a saddle ring

My research has show that it could possibly be a M1896/99 carbine

Is this a true carbine or has it been sporterized?

What would it be worth in this condition?

By any chance does anyone here use a 38-55 for long range shooting? 600-1,000 yards

I'm looking to get an original 1875 action Ballard rifle for either Quigley 2027 or 2028 and I was wondering would 38-55 stand a chance from 350 to 805 yards?

I deal in pre-1899 antique firearms for a living and I deal with a lot of US Civil War items but I really don't do buttons or any other relics like this

The box was offered to me for $100, what is it worth and should I go for it?

Out of a 3 inch barrel

I don't load shotshells

I got both bags for $40

Mods, I'm NOT attempting to sell anything over this subreddit!

What grade do yall think that this would get?
