If at a bench and working on accuracy just add a sand bag between you and the stock Also dont be afraid to use one of those slip on recoil pads

223 case holds a perfect 30gr charge of 3Fg for my 1858 45-70 case holds 75gr 3Fg And a 30-378 weatherby holds 1.75oz of #5 lead shot

Two of my modern guns have 32x scopes on them.... So for just range time, one or both come along anyway, so I just set 'em up on bags and front rest in a convenient spot on the next bench over (the range I use has a TON of space and is never that crowded so using multiple spots isn't an issue...

WTF you copy/pasted somone elses response to the same question on the modern ML site. Are you a bot or spammer or scammer ? Reported!

Ideal lube recipe will vary dependent on local temps, etc. What works for me in mid summer in Florida won't work for someone in Minnesota in December or January. Crisco or some other natural oil as a base, beeswax to harden, and lanolin to make sticky. Use a double boiler to melt (get cheap...

If you don't want the permanence of epoxy, I've bedded receivers and v-block/take down screw area of 10/22s using aluminum tape. Works great, should work fine for the barrel channel of a muzzle loader. Can be attached to barrel even, instead of to stock, super easy with the octagonal flats.

While the local skeet range is next to the air port and we do have banner towing planes/services in the area, I'm not so sure many of 'em would be willing to do a slow-n-low flyby with a strip of butcher paper hanging off the back end so we can pattern our guns as if we were shooting at a bird...

Just got a New Engander (relined to 45) sans rod. Amazon has CVA cut to length rods with a 10-32 insert on one end for $11 with prime free shipping

What year is yours from? Is there a known cut-over or were years mixed production?

23148... Ah well!

Mine is a '71 date code as well. Unsure of how much the PO shot it, but I've put about 150 rounds through it. Wonder how close ours came off the line? (I've found the Porsches that were made on the other side of my '65 356C coupe, be cool to find a gun sibling)

Mine is a Lyman imported Uberti from the early 70s. But ... historical correctness aside, if I were to buy again I'd be real tempted for the .36 version w/ adjustable target sights....

N Fla here too Only rust issues for me (modern or muzzle loader) have involved getting rained on or really heavy dew while hunting followed by a bit of laziness/"do it later"-itis

If we only cared about cost per shot we'd all be shooting rimfire or air rifles. Now if you wanna talk about cap availability vs being able to whack out your own flints (if you live in the right area) and make your own BP, well, OK you have a point.

I'll start by saying 3moa is about what I can do with a modern rifle and a 2moa red dot or good irons at 100 yards due to my eyes... so be sure your 100 yard expectations are within your limits - physical, equipment and skill That said, my CVA .54 shot PRB best at 50 yards with milder loads...

Thanks, think you mis-understood - I don't need to attach a jag per se, I need to buy one (ok, two), screw it in and then cut rod to appropriate length. The factory rods on my two CVAs had a threaded end at one end w/ the bullet loading/cleaning jag, and the other end was a basic brass cap...

Neither of my new-to-me TCs came with ram rods (no complaints, got awesome deal via a buddy for them) Have acquired two of the "universal" fiber glass rods from CVA that are cut-to-length and of the proper diameter to go in the hangers and into the stock channel. Of course, before cutting, I...

For the buyer or seller - this looks like an absolutely cool thing and I'd love to see a nice write up or maybe video showing it, firing, etc. at some point in the future!

When my buddy breaks out the machine guns we'll intersperse a round or two from a front stuffer using real black just to provide some counter balance Pretty funny that a mag dump and a 54 with 90gr 3f get the same "woah!" reaction from the others on the firing line ...

Same as I do for my rimfire and centerfire - Caldwell Rock Jr up front and one of a few different bags in back (which bag depends on stock style). See no reason to not use a lead sled or similar if you have one (I do and it is a PITA to shoot from, so it mostly stays home)
