Hi folks, Recently I was given 80 or so pieces of brass that appears new as well as a set of Lee dies that are a bit grungy. After a bit of measuring I formed a couple into .308 as I'm a bit short on that caliber. They formed quite nicely with a bit of annealing. It crossed my mind that...

I was at the local BPS yesterday looking for a .410 single shot. The only thing they had even close to that was a .45 Colt / .410 shotgun. It is a stocked pistol grip nickle plated single shot with an approximate 16 to 18 inch rifled barrel. In the muzzle is a splined looking choke tube of...

Does anyone have a source for springs and followers for these mags. What i'd like to do is make some long action 10 round mags into short action. While I have them apart i'd like to install new springs as well. Thanks for any advice or sources. Troy

Hey folks does anyone still use musket caps ? I use them on my Hawken replica and am running low but dont see them listed for sale on any of my current sites. Where might I find some ? Thanks Troy

How much effect does the legnth of a rifle barrel have on velocity and or accuracy. Im comparing a full legnth rifle to a carbine legnth. Also looking in the Cabellas catalogue I see that a full legnth barrel has a 1-48'' twist while a carbine legnth has a 1-24'' twist obviously twice as fast...

Has anybody ever loaded two round balls in a 50 cal muzzle loading rifle. If so what powder charge would be adequate and how is accuracy. I know this may be an odd question but ive been reading some threads that have multi ball loads in smokeless rifles and just got to wondering. Thanks T

Has anyone used this combination and if so what is a good starting point for a medium velocity load. I went to the Barnes website and the powder selection was limited to only two choices neither one of them are in my inventory. In my Barnes manual the 110 grain bullet is not even listed. The...

Howdy folks, I just started loading some .223 Barnes TSX 53 grain bullets into Hornandy brass that was fired in my 700 Rem. and neck sized using Lee dies. When I began seating bullets using the Lee seating die the bullets kept sticking in the die and getting pulled back out of the case a...
