Trapdoor Rifles

You bet I will.

Thanks. Hadn’t even thought about toilet seals. May try that.

Anybody ever use paraffin wax for bullet lube. Can’t find bees wax without going to the internet but have pariffin wax.

Thanks for the quick replay. I will order 100 pieces of the 45-70 government and give myself something to do.

Anybody here ever use Starline brass to reload their 45-70? They seem to have some pretty good prices on their brass. Don’t want to by something I can’t use. Thanks.

Thank you. Just hate to waste powder that I might be able to use.

Does anybody know what powder Hornady uses in their 45-70 gov. 325 gr. FTX Lever Evolution rounds. Just pulled some bullets to reload for my Springfield Trapdoor and I really hate to waste the powder I dumped out of the loads. Thanks.

Shot 10 rounds today with 50 gr 3f and ground corn cob filler using the bees wax lube. Really like shooting this rifle. Distance was 50 yds. Good 2” group. This rifle will shoot better than I can shoot it with these old eyes.

Will try that. I have the bees wax already. Just loaded 20 today but they won’t last long. As soon as the weather clears here they will be gone pretty quick.

Finally got to go shoot the trapdoor today. Using the subsonic rounds at 50 yds I finally got the group down to 1 1/2”. By the sights lowered all the way down it would shoot 2” high. Allowed for that and put the next 4 in the bullseye. Had 2 rounds with me that I had loaded with a 150 gr. Flat nose ...
