I didnt realize that .30-40 is inherently problematic, but that might explain my own in that caliber.
I was referring to straight wall cases from .22 to .45 with black or smokeless powders. They shoot quite well in traditional configurations.
I've only heard of one 1-piece stocked 1885. I'd love to see another.

HalfaDouble, Would you say something about the loads you get best results with?

I have owned four High Walls in my time and it always amazes me how well they shoot with that big old hammer coming down like it does and the barrel not free floated. Always into MOA.

Bill, the final load was the 215 grain Lyman 311284 over 21 grains of H4198. The bullet had to be seated quite deeply to chamber.

Well, that sure is different. I can't imagine how that grip feels.
Is that a "thick" side action, or a thin side action with the flares ground off like a thin-tang, flat-sided low wall?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that rocky mtn bill didn't intend to neglect this forum when he posted this political crap excuse for the Black Lives Matter terrorists tearing down historical monuments and statues in U.S. towns and cities: Ted, Craig, What strikes you as senseless destruction and historical erasure is a point of view that says we really ought to accept a third of our citizens as second and third rate in their basic rights. Like most conservatives, you can't figure out how, if you've somehow managed to succeed, anybody else couldn't also. It's almost a fair question. Our glorious leader's work throughout the plague has been a wonder to behold. We had it licked here, but it's back now worse than ever. One thing we have in common though: we're all in the vulnerable age group along with the man himself. Aren't you glad he's on your side? I'm also pretty sure he'd want a few guys here to understand just how often he posts non-gun political crap in defense of anti-gun Democrats on this website. The whole exchange can be seen here John and Shane: https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=575512#Post575512
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Brent, the grip actually feels a lot like my CPA Stevens with the wood ball in the lever. Based on comparing the thickness over the bloc with de Haas' averages I'd have to say it is a thin side with the scallops removed. The barrel is a 22 inch, by the way, and it balances where the barrel meets the receiver.

That would be a rifle to see in the flesh one day. I wish I could remember more about the other one I've seen like this. it's out there somewhere, but I can't recall any of the details.
