    I have heard that in order to be in maximal accuracy from a Snider you have to have the action bored out and the barrel shank threaded almost up to the block.Since you are going to put a new barrel...

    Rolled oats is the best filler I've ever come across. Filling the cavity with something like lube can improve accuracy or have no effect at all. Experimentation, like cats is what sniders are good...

    The stack you describe will work fine.You can experiment by weighing the amount of filler but it's not a good idea to have to much compression in a bottle necked case as it will increase pressure. ...

    Long time since I fired any of my Sniders. IIRC I used SPANZ brass which was machined from solid stock. I never used substantial loads - my favourite Snider is a Cavalry Carbine. Heavier loads...

    The filler is used to take up the air space that *might* cause damage to the gun as the powder burns.Also the theory is that if the powder is lying flat,the sparks from the primer ignite a larger...

    Got one on order - visited the factory.... really excited for it. Communication so far has been excellent. .300PRC and likely to order a 6.5PRC barrel also.

    We recommend to use blue locktite on the screws. Usually that does the trick.
