The slide won't come off of my CZ 82. The mag is removed and I pull out the trigger guard for dis-assembly and the slide moves down the rails freely but hangs up at the end and won't come off the rails. I would really appreciate some help with this from someone who is familiar with the CZ 82...

I'm loading a 190 gr lswc over 4.5 gr of Bullseye. The bullets are cast from a H&G mold. I'm not worrying about the OAL until I have the headspace set correctly. I set bullet well below the barrel shroud and was having trouble with some of the rounds stove-piping. The bullet is stove-piping and...

I'm trying to load a 180gr lead bullet for my 30-30. I went through the manuals (4) and Lee was the only one that came close with a 190gr bullet listed for the 30-30. All fine and good until I look at the minimum OAL listed at 2.800". That's not going to chamber at least not on my Marlin, Let...

When changing primers how important is it to redevelop the complete load. Should I start at the minimum charge and work up or back off 10% or so? I'm changing from Winchester to CCI large pistol primers. My inclination is to load 5 or 10 rounds with the same charge I've been using over the...

I'm trying to come up with a load for this bullet. It's a 175gr LSWC cast from a Hensley and Gibbs mold. Actually they come in a little lower than 175. I haven't found anything in my manuals that has the data for this bullet but have found data for some slightly heavier cast bullets. Heavier by...

I'm working on some 170gr RN bullets I cast for one of my 30-30s. I'm using the load data from the Lee manual which calls for 35gr of H414. I shot my test rounds this morning and noticed that the primers are standing proud (slightly above the rim) and the dimple on the primer seems deeper than...

I just finished this new stock for a 20 guage double barrel for a gunsmith who is refinishing the shotgun. Thought some of you might like the picture. It is a plain grade walnut stock. It took a little fitting and a lot of rubbing but really brought out the character of the wood. Thanks to...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently got hold of an old enfield. Made in '42 and sporterized for hunting, I got about 500 rounds of surplus ammo dated 1967. I took it out to fire yesterday and ran about 20 rounds through it. about every...

I picked up an old Herters double barrel press and was wondering what this thing is good for. It has only one ram on the left side and there is some play in it. I was thinking about switching the ram to the right side to see if it was a better fit. If not what would it take to get everything...

I was in the Houston Gander Mountain for reloading supplies and looked up to see a guy at the gun counter who had a rifle to his shoulder with the scope trained on me. I immediately headed to the counter and the culpret quickly walked away as I approached. I called the clerk up to the counter...

What is the deal with shooting cast bullets in pistols with polygonal rifling? I've run about 500 rounds through my Makarov with no problems using bullets from MBC and I like the way they shoot. Is there any reason that I shouldn't be shooting lead through this pistol? Except for a little...

I'm getting ready to reload .40cal for a Sig P250. I will be using jacketed bullets. Midway list .40" and .401" in their .40 cal selection. I'm assuming that I will use the .40" bullet for the sig. If my assumption is right do I need to slug the barrel before I order bullets. The gun isn't in...

I really pains me to write this but I'd like to get some feedback if I could. Went out to shoot my 1911. The loads were lswc over 5.0 grains of Bullseye. I had four or five shells left from the last batch in a clip and was in the process of shooting that clip out. Got down to the last two...

I loaded up some 30-30 rounds with Hornady 150gr RN ove 30.2 gr of A2520 and went out to the national forest to try them out. 30.2 gr is the lightest load in the Lee manual. I wanted to keep them light for my Winchester Mod. 94 with open sights. I put up plastic bottles filled with water out...

I purchased a new RCBS powder measure a couple of months ago and I can't get it to measure reliably. When I got it I cleaned it and ran a pound of powder through it to lubricate and it seemed to be a little off. I figured this because it needed breaking in. I tried a baffle that I made but...

I'm loading for a Browning x bolt and a Benelli R1 both in .308 cal. My question is other than crimping and full length sizing for the auto loader is there anything I need to be aware of? I'm not crimping for the bolt gun and eventually I'll only neck size. Should I pick up a head space guage...

I think I'm making the management of my brass too complicated. I've got quantities of four or five different kinds for each of the 5 calibers I load. I'll develop a load let's say using Winchester brass. So am I locked into that load with that brass or if I want to change brass do I need to...

I just got in my 93gr lrn bulleta form MBC and need some load data for using Bullseye powder. Best I can come up with is 4.0 grains. I was thinking about starting at 3.6gr, then 3.8 and to 4.0. I also heve some Blue Dot that will probably work. Anybody shed any light on this for me. Thanks...

Does this .270 3x loaded shell look like it's fixing to seperate or am I pushing the sholder back too far when I full length resize? I can't feel a ridge on the inside above the web. It's probably OK but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case. Hopefully some of you long time reloaders...

I made up a batch of .270 Win ammo to test using 130gr Hornady SST and H414 powder. I used Lee recomendations of 51gr starting weight and went to 54gr in half grain increments. Apparently my Mod 700 doesn't like H414 because the best group I could get was 2" at 100 yards and others seemed to...
