I am looking to replace the nipple on the GPR ,beside lyman nipples what other types have you guy used that work.
I ordered a knight red hot,it fits but it way too long.

Hey lonewolf... see if this site works for you

It says they carry 6x .75mm nipples for Lyman and other Italian made rifles.. I am not sure they are hotshot or Uncle Mike quality but they are a factory replacement that is usually better then the ones that come on the rifle....

cayugad I think nipple thing is getting to be a pain in the b--t allready.
I will have to buy the next one local or maybe at a gun show ,ordering from the internet is ruff when you really can't see the size of them.
I am going to call midsouth and see if I can return it,and see what they have to say.
I have no use for that thread 6.75mm, will not fit any other guns I have.
cayugad I ordered from midsouth some nosler 54cal. 300 grain jacketed pp partition bullet they had on closeout for the thunderhawk ,price was $5.88 a card of 10 bullets with plastic sabots ,from what I read these bullets all ways have two hole because of the bullet construction,hope the thunderhawk like them
