Lubed, sized and loaded a few try loads yesterday to continue the .45-90 BP & lead project that I got so excited about last weekend. Even loaded a few 500 grainers to go with the 405gr hunting bullets that I had so much fun with. I really like these WW bullets!
This rifle requires a very slight crimp so I had the rifle out for test fitting. When I was chamber-checking the last try batch something felt wrong, hammer just flopped around wherever gravity wanted it to go.
Hunt is on for a replacement mainspring but it looks like I'll have to make do with jacketed bullets and smokeless powder today. I usually save my Sharps for last, kinda like dessert. No dessert today, unless you count the four acres of grass I gotta mow when I get done.
