32-20

Having fun is what it is all about.. You are doing it right by neck expanding. The cases do stretch a bit in the 92 lever guns..more in the 73s. They won't last too long but with moderate loads you'll be ok. Another neat thing you can do with the oldtimers is to learn Kaintucky windage and slow bullet elevation. After a bit you'll be surprised how far you can hit targets. I used to have a neat place to shoot back east and learned I could actually hit things up to 450 yds with a 4 inch 22 Diamondback I had. Sold it but that thing was the epitome of FUN. BTW what powder are you using?? What kind of bullets??

Whoops, I'm shooting a 92, not a 94....brain lapse there, sorry. I'm using Winchester cases currently, have some Remington cases on the shelf I got a good price on, hope to get some Starline if I continue with this gun. I first tried the Winchester factory lead loads, very mild but poor accuracy. Local gun shop had some M&P cast bullets, 115 gr. with gas check, .312 and .310 sized. the 312's give me very good results, the 310's are too small and keyhole at 50 yards. No loss there; I'll shoot them in the 30-30 (already tried and they shoot very nicely!). I'm using Unique, right around 5 grains or a tad under. I also got some samples of LaserCast plain based bullets from Oregon Trail, 115 (I think) sized at .313 with no gas checks and they shoot fine as well with the Unique. I think this is the bullet I'll be going with due to availability; I don't think M&P is in business any longer.
