The long-neck of the .30-40 cartridge-case allows bullets to be seated rather far out to cut down 'bullet jump'. Ignore the 'crimping' groove, loade...

Re: New Purchase - Rusted Barrel

So... I was able to take the gun out and fire 20 rounds down range. Good news is the gun didn't blow up, bad news, not the most accurate. Once I figured out how to get the bullets on the target I only had a few rounds remaining. I was shooting at the bullseye and this is the group. The white marks a...
