I have started tearing down my test loads. I have quite a few and will likely not be to fire them. Too many things that need completed. When I got into some 9 mm loaded with 800-X I found some where the powder was sticking in the case. Powder bought at the end of the Obama panic, so it should...

I am looking for dies that I can use for neck sizing the 6.5 Carcano. Hoping someone here can help me find something available.

I recently bought a pre-war Win 94 carbine. Had a friend cast some lead boolits for it, but I also have a can of 180 gr. JSP pulls that I would like to use, but none of my manuals show any data for any jackets that heavy. Any of y'all have any data for these bullets?

Got this e-mail from Jake

An earlier thread got in the weeds with firearms. Unnecessary- John I am disabled and usually carry a Cold Steel dragon cane and a large folder, either assisted opener or full auto. After another foot surgery (#8) I am on crutches or a knee roller for the foreseeable future, which removes my...

This bullet came from RMR in a grab bag. All that I recall is that they are sintered. Weight is 50 gr., length is ranging 1.005 - 1.010. Wanting an ID for loading. Also would like to know if they are good for anything. Thanks

Has anyone here bought these trays? I'm wanting to know how they compare to the Frankford Arsenal trays. Especially the footprint. The FA tray is 3-15/16 X 8-1/4". Looks like Midway replaced FA with National Metallic as their house brand. Found the FA trays on Amazon, but the price has gone up.

Recently purchased this product for use in RCBS .300 AAC dies. Brass is once fired, converted from .223 cases selected for uniform wall thickness. Lubed with Frankford Arsenal spray. Sizing was hard. Case stuck and was driven out with hammer and punch. Case shoulder was collapsed. (left to...

Was loading some work-up loads today. Was trickling BE-86 to the pan on my RCBS Range Master 750, which I was proud of. Third round and I had trickled a tenth of a grain too much, so I trickled a few granules out of the pan. But when I sat the pan back on the scale it showed as a few tenths of a...

I must be doing something wrong. Took this rifle apart for cleaning. Now the firing pin shaft keeps coming out of the breech block.

Had a rough go tonight using my RCBS hand primer. Out of 40 cartridges 10 had primers that had turned sideways and were crushed, Primer is low mileage. Tula SP primers. Brass is 38 spl mixed: TZZ, R-P, Win, Rem-Umc. I have never had this happen before. So I must be doing something wrong. But what?

Went to the range today. It had been almost a year. One of the guns was a Colt New Cobra. Learned the chambers were larger than my Diamondback and New King Cobra. Two loads with Speer 158 LSWCHP, a swaged soft lead bullet. Charges were 4.7 & 5.2 gr. Unique, per Speer #14. Found there was a...

Got my CC&R today. Took just over 30 days. The current administration has done well on reducing the wait time.

I have been using the RCBS puller for 4 years. One constant problem is the bullets sticking in the collet. I have tried reducing the tension applied to the bare minimum needed to pull the bullet, but still have to use pliers to pry the bullet out. Any solutions? Tomorrow is the 4th, so fireworks...

My baby was returned from the Colt smiths this weekend. I am pleased as punch with the work performed by Spartan. Now I need to locate some dies and components to start making ammo to see how this old gal shoots. Thanks to Len & Brian for the TLC.

A recent acquisition is an early Colt New Service in 45 Colt. Chamber is .454, but the cylinder throats are .456. After -emailing with Brad at MBC I purchased his .455 Eley bullets, unsized. Also picked up a Lee sizer for .457 dia. They do not offer aany sizers in .the .455-.456 diameter...

I came across this knife on a FB group, and jumped on the chance to own one. www.theknifeconnection.net/gen-6/

I have a 1892 Colt Navy that I want to shoot at an indoor range that does not allow black powder. Is there a low smoke substitute that I can safely use in this antique gun? I don't want to damage the gun or get thrown out of the range. Thanks.

Have trouble getting bullets to feed in a new Springfield 911, .380 ACP. Bullets are 90 gr. Sierra JHP. Plunk is greater than .955. I have tried oal of .950, the ones shown are seated to .935. The only marks on blackened rounds were a single stripe the length of the case.
