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

http://www.freetrapper.com/blackjack/tools.htm

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

I've always used Uncle Mike's Hot Shot nipples with good success.
