Thanks for the replies. Guess I won't be setting records but since I have the powder and a whole s-pot of pulled bullets and brass I'll just make up a bunch of blasting ammo. I have an old SP-1 that eats anything. Thanks again.

I have two lbs of 4064 and I would like to use it for my 223 using a 55 gr fmj bullet. Any tried and true load info.

Thanks. Found them. Now I have to figure out which one I need.

This is my 40 year old Colt 22 caliber conversion kit. I need a new firing pin. Anyone know where I might find one? Thanks...

I have been trying to put together a reasonably correct bcd 4 and have everything but the stock selected. I recently read an article which indicated that in 1945 the Kriegs Model stock was produced in both laminate and solid walnut and came in every possible combination (screwed on barrel...

Just for clarification. The two bolts I have match themselves not the rifle. LOL

I recently acquired an excellent phosphate bcd 4 barreled receiver and I would like to try and put it back as close as possible to it's original configuration. There is only the serial number on the barrel and all of the other parts are a mixture of phosphate and blue stamped metal with no...

Thanks. I appreciate the info.

Can anyone identify this magazine. I was cleaning out the back of my safe an I found this in a box of old m1carbine mags. It is a hair under 1 inch thick, 6 inches at the back and 5 3/8 at the front and 3 1/8 back to front. I'm thinking 308 because it's much to short to take 30/06, 8mm, or...
