Those are pretty neat old rifles and it is pretty hard to go wrong with the 45-70 they are a lot of fun to operate and handload for! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

Thank you very much for the kind words!! That really means a lot we do our very best to present things in an honest and unbiased light and a lot of work goes into each of these load development videos. It is always nice to know that they are appreciated and that folks find them enjoyable and informative!! --Jeremiah

Glad it was helpful Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

Indeed they can, probably a more accurate than I am in all honesty!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

@Clovis Point I don't doubt that at all I know this rifle is fully capable of that the real question is if I can. If that is true that is extremely interesting. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah

You are very welcome, that is our mission to educate and inspire others to learn, hopefully eventually for folks to go out there and try these things for themselves and see what they can do. It is a lot of fun to put these together and the fact that folks watch it and enjoy it and help support us makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

We couldn't do that without the support of subscribers like you!

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment, I have heard a lot of good things when it comes to light loads with unique in the 45-70 however I have yet to experiment much with it myself mostly because it is so very hard to find! I do love 5744 in the 45-70 and have gotten a lot of good results with it over the years! It is always nice to hear what others are doing and that their experience matches mine! --Jeremiah

Thank you for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated!! I really like those Shiloh rifles they are very nice and fit and finish is top notch. Mike has been quite an inspiration to me as well I really enjoy reading his work and he has helped me more times than I can count. He even cast some of the bullets that we used in this video!! I agree in full bullet quality is key in order to achieve accurate results. I must admit I have a newfound respect for these old rifles and those that carry them. I am by no means an expert with these Sharps rifles and I have no doubt that I am the limiting factor when it comes to accuracy. Thank you again for the kind words and you can count on us continuing to produce videos just like this. --Jeremiah

Thank you guys for all the support and offering exceptional brass at a reasonable price! We couldn't get the small groups we get without your product!

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with the firearms, those sights really do make a big difference when it comes to shooting groups with them!! This is one of my favorite rifles to shoot and I have no doubt that we will be doing another video on it in the future with black powder so keep an eye out for that! --Jeremiah

Thank you very much for the kind words, we are glad to hear that you enjoy the content we are producing! We do have plans to do a follow up video using black powder as well so keep an eye out for that in the future. I have heard of such concerns so far this rifle has held up very very well with the smokeless powders we tried. However I will say that unique powder and similar powders seem to contribute to ringed chambers but I need to do more testing to verify that of course I do not want to ring the chamber on this rifle either! So it may be some time before that ever happens! Hopefully by the end of this year we will be doing the Black Powder video but we shall see what other projects pop up and become available. Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah

That is awesome these really are great rifles and that 5744 really is a great powder as well! Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching! Even if you don't load for that particular rifle or cartridge there usually is some good points you can pick up on and carry with you to help with your handloading of other cartirdges. Thanks again!

@@HandloaderTV I always pick up an idea or two from the video's.

@@daveknowles3055 That is always good to hear!

They really are great rifles, this one is actually one of my new favorite rifles it's just a lot of fun and amazingly accurate. Thanks for watching, best of luck with your new rifle! --Jeremiah

Thank you Boss, Keep up the good work.

First let me thank you for your kind words and your support. I love the 45-70 It is one of my favorite cartridges as well. I too am a big fan of trail boss powder and the Oregon Trail laser case bullets. Those 1895 Marlin lever actions are treasures absolutely awesome rifles. I must admit that This Pedersoli far exceeded my expectations in quality, fit and finish and accuracy, I truly believe the gun is more accurate than I am with iron sights. I don't think you will regret picking one up. We will be covering this rifle again with Black powder load at some point in the future as well. Thank so much for watching and for sharing your experience with the cartridge. -- Jeremiah

@@HandloaderTV Thanks Jeremiah! I am looking forward to your Black Powder loads and experience with this awesome cartridge! Cheers!

@@chipandrews2892 No Problem I am always happy to hear from you guys and hear what you have to say! I am excited as well it'll be some time but once we get some more bullets and moulds we'll start filming the black powder side of things. Cheers!! --Jeremiah

I sold my 45-120 to a guy that may want to sell it, you want me to ask ? Same gun, but chambered in 45-120. I fired 10 rounds thru it, not sure how many Charlie fired thru it since I sold it to him.

@@Gunner-73 I greatly appreciate the offer that is very generous of you, unfortunately at this time I don't think it would be feasible for me to make such a purchase. I appreciate the thought though!

Ha ha yeah it really is, but it's a very accurate rifle and the loading process is kinda fun to be honest. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

Thanks for the kind words and for watching! --Jeremiah

Indeed you can Reloder 7 is a great powder, I would have happily featured that powder if I had more of it, sadly I was and still am running quite low on that particular powder. Thanks for sharing though and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with it here in the comments! I do plan on doing a video using black powder with this rifle one day I just sadly have not gotten around to it yet! Hopefully soon! Even with the smokeless loads I can tell you the recoil is pretty significant with some loads. Thank you for watching! --Jeremiah

Indeed you certainly have to keep the pressures low with one of those. That is really good to know, it's good to hear that others also had good experiences with Pedersoli. We were quite impressed with them after this video. I agree in full it is a go to of mine and it just simply works wonders I don't think there is anything quite as good as 5744 powder for the 45-70. Indeed we played with apparatuses and front sights along with the adjustments as well. There is so much to play with this these rifles and what is not to love! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for watching the video!

That sounds like a great load and something we may have to try in the future! Thank you for sharing that here in the comments section we feel it adds a lot of value and makes this a place where folks can come and hear from others and their experience. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

Thank you very much! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video! We experienced a lot of unburnt powder as well with 5744 However it did not seem to effect accuracy and we kept pressure high enough to prevent imprints on the brass. Next up we'll have to do a video on loading with Black Powder. Thanks for watching and the the feedback it is always nice to hear what others have experienced!

First of all thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment I really enjoy hearing others feedback and it is nice to know that others are having similar experience. To be honest for the most part I stuck with book lengths or a touch longer but I did not want anything touching the lands so every bullet had some degree of jump. I have no doubt that if I would have played with the OAL I could have gotten even better groups. Thanks again! --Jeremiah

It is always nice to know what other folks are shooting so thank you for sharing! I must admit I was quite impressed with the accuracy that our Pedersoli displayed, I think the rifle is more accurate than I am without optics. Good luck in you handloading and shooting adventures. --Jeremiah

You are very welcome thank you for taking the time to watch the video!! I personally am a big fan of just plain old black powder for these old guns as well and that is what I would recommend for your Chiappa especially considering I do not have much experience with them. I know that would be perfectly safe in that gun provided it is not damaged. A good gunsmith would be able to help you in that area a lot more than I could. I imagine if it says not to use commercially loaded ammunition then I would heed that advice, even though it seems a bit strange to me that they would put that in there. The Uberti should be perfectly fine with Commercially loaded ammo so long as it is not +P or above the pressure guidelines given by the manufacturer usually around 28,000 PSI. Thanks again and good shooting to you!! --Jeremiah

Thank you for the kind words and for watching we appreciate it! I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy and overall quality of the Pedersoli we received. I too enjoy shooting muzzleloaders and it sounds like I may have to give Pedersoli a chance with theirs as well. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for sharing your experience and feedback!

I think it's more the shooter, not the rifle. Particularly if using black powder. Someone like Tiger Woods will out play most of us at golf using a baseball bat and banged up ball. The Shiloh fit and finish is a touch better. In my view. Others can differ. Is it worth the wait time? Well, time passes anyway and in the end you'll have the prestige of the Shiloh. Is it worth it? That's up to you.

@@normanbraslow7902 Jeremiah is certainly an accomplished shooter and Handloader. I do think the Rifle plays a roll in the accuracy when testing methods are consistent IE Tiger woods plays with a baseball bat then a 9 iron the whole game then a wedge the whole game etc. However I do understand your point and there is certainly truth there. I would agree the Shiloh rifles do have higher quality wood and color case hardening and fit and finish can be more consistent however the fit and finish on this Pedersoli was pretty impressive. That is why we make these videos so folks can make educated decisions on their purchases and handloading habits. Thank you for watching and thank you for your feedback.

Handloader TV All of the Sharps makes, Shiloh, C. Sharps and Pedersoli, are costly, so whichever one gets, it's an investment. Do you know where Pedersoli gets the wood? Is it the high quality European variety? What about C. Sharps? For some people that might make a difference. I know Shiloh uses walnut from Missouri. I saw some of the choice stocks in the process of finishing in the Shiloh factory, and they were incredible.

@@normanbraslow7902 That is true we leave that decision entirely up to the viewer. We do our best to show our results in as much of an unbiased point of view and focus on the raw results we receive. We understand that everyone has different preferences in manufacturing, quality, accuracy fit and finish, and even brands. One day we would like to cover the C sharps and Shiloh, Sharps rifles as well. We do know Pedersoli uses a lot of American Walnut for their stocks however as far as sources I am not sure at this time. I do know they buy the wood and cure it themselves and it is usually at least a 1 year turn around from purchase to the time it is placed on a rifle. C. Sharps searches across the country for walnut suitable for their rifles and each piece is hand inspected similar to Pedersoli but in less of a quantity.

This Gun is rated for 28,000 PSI if memory serves me correctly which allows for pretty decent velocity. However we were looking for the most accurate loads which seemed to be at lower velocities with the smokeless powder. Perhaps we should revisit this with Black Powder and make some comparisons. It would be interesting. T Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the presentation, thank you for watching! Not at this time however I do have some paper patched bullets to try out with Black Powder which we will do a video on in the distant future.

I would love to do something on the 38-55, are you thinking in a Lever action or a single shot rifle? Sadly currently I do not own a 38-55. I should add it to the long list of things I want to do though! Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!

It's too bad the 38-55 never got as popular as the 30-30, personally I consider the 38-55 a much better choice for close range hunting

@@carlgomm9699 It is a shame I have always had a soft spot for the 38-55 and would love to cover that cartridge in the future!

We are very glad to hear you enjoy the videos and we appreciate your long time support of the magazines it is because of good folks like you we can make these videos! Do you mean the 5.7x28 or the 7.62x28 which is a Russian cartridge similar to the .300 blackout. We do have a few 5.7x28s but we do not have a .22TCM on hand but I can certainly keep my eyes open for one and see what we can do! I can't make any promises but I think it would make for an interesting video!

@@HandloaderTV Sorry, completely fubar'd that. I did mean 5.7x28 vs 22 TCM. I have a 22 TCM Target that works well. Do you accept guns from patrons on loan to for test purposes like this?

@@abitnutz6747 No worries I figured that is what you meant! I wish we could but sadly at this time it is not logistically possible. Perhaps when we get caught up we will be able to. We work quite a few months out due to the amount of handloading we have to do to produce videos. add in the lack of components and it becomes quite challenging to keep up. Your offer is very very generous and we greatly appreciate the kind offer!

Indeed it is a process, achieving good accurate black powder loads requires a lot of time and tinkering. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Those are actually the same groups we show us shooting all of the targets in real time minus some time taken out between shots while I adjust my bags or get my sights linned up. Then we go back to the bench and review those same loads we shot on the range. So what you are seeing at those two time stamps are actually the same loads just me shooting it in real time and then me reviewing it and talking about how it performed and giving you a breakdown of the load and the standard deviation and velocity we got with that load. Hopefully that makes sense if you have any further questions don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

Thank you very much for the kind words we greatly appreciate all the feedback! We do have plans to do a video showcasing black powder in the 45-70 we just haven't decided if we want to use this rifle again or go to a different one. That does not sound good at all hopefully they get that taken care of for you, I know that the repair times are longer since the guns are made overseas. I think the crimp matters more with smokeless powder than black powder however, in speaking with a lot of competitive shooters they all recommenced crimp with smokeless powders. I did play around with shooting 10 shot groups from positions from the sticks. It didn't seem to make that much of a difference in accuracy in this particular rifle at 100 yards. However, I did try to keep it consistent in the video and you'll see me adjust it from time to time to ensure it is consistent. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

@@HandloaderTV Perhaps there’s the belief that a crimp will apply enough tension to allow better ignition and velocity, hence accuracy?

@@dogbone1358 I think that is certainly part of it and I think most folks think it aids in complete burn of the powder and how important that is greatly depends upon the powder used in my personal experience but in some cases it could certainly help. --Jeremiah

Glad to hear you enjoyed it thank you for watching! It is an old Konig Jager Super Bench and sadly the company no longer seems to be in business any longer. They are great benches though and work very very well. We also like stuckey's sturdy shooting benches and recommend them as a replacement especially if portability is desired.

Thank you very much we appreciate you watching and commenting. It certainly has some merit in these rifles however I too prefer black powder and we will be doing a full video on that in the future. I appreciate you pointing that out upon further inspection you are correct! I was a little off in my 25,000 PSI/CUP it does state you can shoot up to 29,007 PSI/CUP loads which I personally find a little confusing given those two terms CUP and PSI are not interchangeable. I agree in full the use of FFFg powder should not even be a consideration in the 50-140 although I must admit I am at a loss to even guess what kind of pressures it would produce. 3,000 PSI is not much of a difference and I would assume since they are all built on the same action they would all be able to handle the same 25,000 PSI/CUP apparently I assumed wrong and I appreciate you pointing that out. I assume Pedersoli did this so that factory loaded SAAMI spec ammunition could be used in their sharps rifles. Any factory ammo loaded within SAAMI Spec should be just fine out the the Q down under however I would not expect stellar accuracy. Due to the bullet weight, hardness and other factors that most factory ammo is loaded to.

@@HandloaderTV I would recommend before quoting or reloading any ammo that the SAAMI VOLUNTARY PERFORMANCE STANDARDS SAAMI Z299. 4 2015 is referenced for those particular cartridge's. Especially the 45-70 because there are so many rifles that shoot it, and a trap door will not take the same punishing pressures as a Marlin, or Modern sharps. I don't want to beat any one up. But its a good practice. The ( CUPS ) Copper Units Crushed, is kinda going by the way side and measuring with transducers ( PSI) are being used. But this information or SAAMI Specs is all volunteered information from the manufacturers and says my produced has been tested to meet this specifics. PPU was selling ammo that exceeded SAAMI pressure and about destroyed one of my rifles. Great video though. saami.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ANSI-SAAMI-Z299.4-CFR-Approved-2015-12-14-Posting-Copy.pdf

@@Gunner-73 Brian I appreciate the comment and that is good advice for sure. I do look into not only the SAAMI specs but various other loading manuals along with our own notes from the lab or pressure tested data. I choose to reference the 3 most commonly used pressure guidelines for the cartridge to keep it as simple as possible to avoid any confusion. All the data is double checked and if there is any doubt I will always air on the side of caution and use the lower pressure figures. such as the case here with the Pedersoli. We do our very best to keep things in an easily digestible format for the viewer while keeping safety as a number one priority. The last thing I would ever want is for someone to misunderstand and load to the wrong pressure. That is terrible to hear about your gun! all the more reason to handload I suppose. That is true the copper units of pressure (CUP) does seem to be less and less common these days however many European gun manufacturers still use CUP as their pressure standard. Pedersoli included so that is why I referenced CUP. As I am sure you know PSI and CUP are not directly comparable. I appreciate your comment and thank you for providing the link should others be interested in reading it! Thanks again for watching! --Jeremiah

We have done a video detailing basic die setup and I will paste a link below, We were using Redding dies but the setup is essentially the same. We have had some time behind the Summit press and it is excellent for bullet seating it seems to minimize bullet runout. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qrdmlMqSvd2UpHU.html video on how to handload, you can find the die setup for both Rifle (bottleneck cases) and pistol (straigtwall cases)

@@HandloaderTV thanks ! I just got a summit and setting up feels weird as I use to use the rock chucker. So far I think it's great.

@@coady-wp3xf It is a little different kind of press but it does seem to work well and be an accurate and reliable press.

@@coady-wp3xf Glad to hear that it certainly does have a backwards kind of feel but it does seem to work well based on our experience. It is always nice to hear others are also having good experiences.

I would exercise caution, If memory serves me correctly you should be able to use any load that is made to SAAMI Spec or loaded to under 28,000 PSI. I would consult your manufacturer though just to be sure the Shiloh sharps are very nice rifles and of outstanding quality. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

The Powder charge weight was 26 grains for that particular load. I do not think I stated the charge weight while on the range I must have forgot my apologies. You did not miss it I simply forgot. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

As mentioned in the video we did have to swap out the sights from the original to the Soule style sight. Unfortunately the original sight was just a ladder rear sight with a blade front sight. Which did not lend itself well to shooting small groups at 100 yards and beyond. So we did purchase the Soule style sight separately and they are not cheap but I will say based off of our experience with them it is worth the money and with practice I think you could shoot 1 hole groups at 100 yards.They are a bit tricky to install though and we actually had Dave Fink from Finks Custom Gunssmithing install ours and as you could see he did a fantastic job! Thanks so much for watching and if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask!

Mine did come with the sights mentioned by Jeremiah. Boy, are they nice. Happy shooting. Jeff

@@jeffamiot3055 That is really good to know I did not know that they offered that as a factory option! Thank you for sharing that tidbit with us! They really are excellent sights! Thank you for watching good shooting sir!

Very nice I have always liked the .45-120, it certainly gives you a good thump. I must admit I was very impressed with the performance of the Soul sights, the adjustments were true and relatively easy to make. Those were some of the best groups I have ever shot with Iron sights so needless to say they worked quite well for me. When filming this video we did experience some minor audio glitches, however there are horses on the same property as the range but they are a considerable distance away I suppose it is possible though. You can actually see my horse for a few brief seconds at the end of the .300 Blackout video. You sir must have keen ears and protected them well during your range sessions. Thanks so much for watching! --Jeremiah

@@HandloaderTV hahahaha, I had a 120mm rocket blow me off the ground, and I did lose a little hearing, almost spilled my coffee. :) High pitched sounds I can't hear. I have had to retuned my hearing. If the room is quiet, it sounds like crickets in my ears. Really deafening sometimes. But such is life. I have watched a few of your videos now and enjoy them. They are not the average video. Of course I would like to see what a 45-100 does to a gell block with a 550 grain bullet hitting it. I did pick up a Winchester 1886, 45-70, one of 3000, 26 inch octagonal barrel, hand engraved and gold inlay. To bad I cant post a picture.

@@Gunner-73 Haha, glad to hear you at least saved your coffee! I can understand the hearing loss though it seems to almost go hand in hand with firearms ear protection is important but it sounds like your situation was pretty beyond your control though. I too have a ringing in my ears that comes and goes not fun, but like you said such is life. I am very glad to hear that, the feedback is always appreciated! We do our best to showcase the results exactly as we get them and do our best to leave the decision making up to the viewer. I imagine it would be absolutely devastating especially the soft cast bullets I imagine they would expand to some degree. We do want to do more bullet testing in the near future sadly ballistic gel is rather expansive. That sounds like a beautiful piece! That is one of my favorite lever actions. We have an Instagram and we do our best to monitor that closely if you have one you can send us a message and even share pictures. It is a great way to keep in touch and know what projects are in the works. --Jeremiah

Thank you very much and thank you for watching! I recommend that everyone wear eye protection it can save your eyesight should anything go wrong. I however have an extremely difficult time wearing eye protection. I am shooting on my personal range and I accept the responsibility and have made a personal decision to not wear the eye protection simply because I am shooting paper at 100 yards and have an excellent backstop, I carefully crafted my ammunition and inspected it and the rifle myself. I was willing to accept that risk in order to showcase the rifles potential with good clear vision. --Jeremiah

We have a video on the 1895 as well might be worth checking out the 45-70 is just a fun cartridge and one of my personal favorites. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

@@HandloaderTV thanks, I bought the 30 inch Sharps last week, 45-70 has been on my wish list for a long time, now a proper Tang rear sight is next

Matt, I absolutely have fallen in love with the 45-70!! After producing this video I could not be more impressed with both the cartridge and the performance of this Pedersoli rifle!! I am jealous I was a bit behind in the Marlin trend and now I am trying to find an 1895 Marlin SBL or GBL for myself! I hope one day I will find one that is not too expensive! that sounds like a great load!

@@876mpr That is the kinda deal I am hoping for I wouldn't even mind paying a little more if it was in good condition and was what I wanted! Yeah the primer situation is terrible!! --Jeremiah

I think the reasoning behind that is so that the shell does not hit you in the face or hit your tang mounted sight when shooting off of a bench or in a competition. That is my best guess for the reasoning behind that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

Great question, if memory serves me correct they are marked in MOA or maybe even in inches and If the sight is the same I think it has 280 minutes of angle worth of adjustment on the staff. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

I assume you are talking either the saddle ring, there is a small bar located on the left side of the rifle if you were looking down the sights it would be at the 9 o'clock position (not shown in video). That is a saddle ring for attaching a sling to the rifle and in some cases I have seen them used to attach rifles to saddles as well, although given the size of this rifle that seems quite impractical. If you are referring to circular disk located at the 12 o'clock position when looking down the barrel from behind the rifle that is the Sight aperture which is adjustable to allow various amounts of light through the sight and provide the most clear and crisp sight picture possible. I hope this answers your question if you have any further questions or I did not answer your original question and I missed something don't hesitate to ask again. Thank you so much for watching!

@@HandloaderTV that saddle ring thing thank you

@@homerscustoms7635 You are very welcome!! We appreciate the support!

You can purchase them online from Buffalo Arms company. They work very well and the base is wide enough to prevent it from moving under recoil as you can see in the video. Great question, thanks for watching!

In no way are we comparing this to the Shiloh eventually I would love to get my hands on one of those and run some black powder 45-70 handloads through it but that is for another video. We simply wanted to showcase the results for the viewer exactly as we got them with a little bit of commentary from me. That is also correct, and is stated in the video at 6:30 45-70 was available and I personally am a big fan of the 45-70 and this is certainly not a perfect clone from the movie but it is very close and was named after the film. We appreciate your feedback and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah

No this can handle smokeless powder just fine, the older trapdoor Springfield trapdoor and sharps rifles I recommend using only black powder. The modern reproduction rifles will generally handle smokeless powder when loaded below the SAAMI Spec but as always check the owners manual or the manufacturer to be sure. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

The Quigley rifle was supposed to be a converted percussion rifle from the civil war.

That is true they do state that for only the 45-70 chambering 29,007 CUP/PSI which I find interesting as two pressure measurements are not interchangeable. They state 28,000 CUP/PSI for all other chamberings IE. 45-110 etc. So I went with the conservative number assuming all the rifles are built on the same actions. I believe they came up with that number to make it clear that you could shoot factory loaded ammunition in the 45-70 chambered rifles. It is interesting though. Thank you for watching!

The primary reason is it will stabilize the longer heavier Higer BC bullets, Which is helpful especially when shooting in windy conditions it is amazing how much wind drift and bullet drop you can get with the 45-70. The secondary reason is it was what was available at the time for a reasonable cost. We purchase most of these rifles for testing so we wanted to see what the lower end of the price range had to offer before jumping up. I must admit the results were impressive and I am thoroughly convinced the rifle is more accurate than I could shoot without optics. Thank you for watching and thanks for the question! --Jeremiah

You are correct the OAL is long on some of the loads and that is just to seat the bullet at the crimp groove of the bullet some of these bullets are designed to be loaded longer. Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to watch and comment! --Jeremiah

@@HandloaderTV No problem excellent work my friend.

@@jasonsellick3474 Thank you very much we greatly appreciate the kind words and support! --Jeremiah

Keep in mind that CUP and PSI are not really directly interchangeable even though many manuals use them interchangeably. I know that many modern lever actions such as the 1895 and the 1886 are capable of more than 28,000 PSI however some of the older 1886 lever guns are certainly not. So it really depends upon the firearm you are loading for. I know the newer Marlin 1895s are perfectly safe at 43,000 PSI and some of the new Winchester 1886 lever guns can handle even more according to a few sources. So it really depends on what you are loading. I hope that makes sense thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! --Jeremiah

Don't worry too much about it. Maybe somebody did it on purpose maybe accident. But it helps the channel either way. A dislike is counted as engagement. KZfaq promotes anything that causes people to view longer or have any kind of an emotional reaction good or bad.

I don't know I wouldn't mind someone disliking it but it always leaves me wondering why, If you are going to dislike it I wish they would state why they disliked it. But I suppose it could be a mistake as well you never know they could be cursed with fat fingers like me and accidentally hit the dislike instead of the like button. Thanks so much watching and for all the support!

@@HandloaderTV so here's the thing. People always respond more strongly to negative emotions. That means if people are generally neutral on it you will see on average more negative comments. Also if you had an equal number of positive and negative comments you would remember the negative ones more. It really does take a toll on people who work a lot to be in the public sphere. You have to actively remind yourself that the ratio is inevitably skewed. If you reach blows up you are going to see a whole lot more negativity and until you armor your emotions against it it will beat you up. So I wouldn't be sad if somebody just downloads and says nothing. If somebody has meaningful feedback and correction that's useful. I have old videos that I did and nothing I've done is anywhere near your production quality, and I will get comments that say nothing more than " boring." There are other comments that will say but what about this bit of information or that. I value the ladder. My videos are mostly made for technical information so if somebody finds them boring that's sort of irrelevant but if somebody else finds them useful or counterproductive that's highly relevant. Your videos are a combination of your subjective opinion about firearm and a practical guide to a few reloading recipes, and an example of the better end of what performance can be expected. For all you know somebody down voted you because your hat looks a little weathered.

A Glock owner 😂

@@GunFunZS That is true on both accounts people are much more likely to voice a negative opinion than a positive one. I certainly don't mind the negative feedback or constructive criticism. I value the feedback of others and if enough people find an issue than I am more than open minded enough to change it or take it into consideration and respond appropriately. That said I must say our viewers are great and generally provide great insight and suggestions for improving the videos. I do voice my opinion but I do my best to remove myself and any bias good or bad towards any firearm we review. We try to let the results speak for themselves and we post up all the groups and data to our website so that way people can see how well everything performed across all the loads we tested. I appreciate your comment it was most enjoyable to read and I always enjoy chatting with our viewers and hearing their opinions and experience. -- Jeremiah

I do have a few paper patched bullets I would really like to try with this rifle. I do plan on doing a video on it with Black powder showcasing the basics to loading black powder cartridge and the rifles performance as well. Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

That is correct I misspoke on the 25,000 CUP, it is in fact 29,000 CUP my apologies for the confusion! Thanks for watching! --Jeremiah

Are u a cowboy or r just have the hat

@@wilmamcdermott3065 I am more of a horseman these days, most of my time is occupied working up loads or working my horses. There was a time when I would have answered yes to that question, sadly those days are mostly in the past now but I can't complain I love what I do and I still have time to tinker with my horses and incorporate them into my shooting from time to time is always a blast. Keep an eye out for our upcoming video on the Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBL. --Jeremiah
