Afternoon from a wet NE England, UK, to Everyone. Here in the Uk it has become increasingly difficult to obtain Jacketted bullets (heads !!). Have decided to try reloading my 7x57 Mauser with hard Cast Lead,gas checked bullets. Slight problem. The company producing hard cast lead bullets here in...

Wish to remove the lifter for cleaning without,if possible, dismantling the whole action. Viewed a short video on line describing how to remove the lifter by removing the bolt & then the lifter pivot screw. Turn the rifle upside down & the lifter comes free and can be wriggled out for cleaning...

Morning from the UK The Aluminium linkage on my,quite old, single stage Lee Challenger press finally shattered. Has successfully loaded many thousands of rounds over the years. Not a big problem as Lee currently sell parts to retro fit the later steel linkage to the older model Challenger...

Hi from the UK. Hope everyone safe & well. We WILL beat this virus !!. I have a Ludwic Loewe model 1896 rifle in 7x57. I t was originally a carbine. I think it was a Boer War cavalry carbine. I wish to strip & clean the component parts of the bolt. I did carry out a strip down of the bolt many...

Only taken 4 months to come from the USA across the water to UK but I finally took delivery of a Boyds Varmint Thumbhole Laminated Stock. Varmint barrelled action going into it is a SS Tikka T3 in 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser. Dropped the action into the stock & was quite surprised to find it was a...

Ludwig Loewe of Berlin. 1896 Mauser in 7x57. Wanting to fit an after market trigger to this rifle. Looking at the Timney range of trigger units. Would welcome advise on which Timney trigger unit, if any, can be dropped into the 1896 Mauser. Looking on their website would appear that the...

SS Savage FV112.SS When I bought this rifle many many years ago I fitted Tasco SS 2 piece bases WC 23385 & Tasco WC 1" low rings WC28735. These rings drop into a hole in the base, then turn & lock. Very solid. Now, eyesight not as good, so wish to replace the 3-9x40 scope with a 50mm objective...

Had the above rifle for a few decades. Always reliable but has recently developed an irritating fault. Empty cases are readily extracted from the chamber but not ejected clear of the action. However if an empty case is put into the bolt and flicked the empty case is flung clear of the bolt...

Would welcome some info on this rifle please. Looking at a 2nd hand model here in the UK. When did Marlin cease to make this model. Is the barrel "choked" at the muzzle as I wish to shorten the barrel to 16" but do not wish to loose accuracy (many 0.22 barrels are choked at the muzzle...

Hi Would appreciate some info regarding the Savage mod. 93 BTVSS rifle in 0.22WMR. Here in the uk our dealers do not have many rifles in the racks to look, hold & decide. I am interested in the above rifle. However none of the available info states whether or not the rifle comes with...

Looking at a Redfield Revenge 3-9x42 or 4-12x42 plex reticle OR Weaver 40/44 model 3-10x44 plex reticle. My question. Which has the better optics ????. Neither are expensive scopes so perhaps there is no noticeable difference. Would welcome any comments. Going to mount it on my Tikke...

Ruger M77 Rifle (Top Tang safety model in 0.308 Win.). Wish to fit a 1" tubed Hawke Varmint scope. 4-16x44 AO. The rings supplied with the rifle (#4 & #5 I believe) are too low. The AO of the scope drags on the top of the barrel. I also want a reach forward/back ring in the set. :(I...

Hi I have a Savage FVSS 112 Varmint in 0.223 Rem. 26" fluted barrel (it is in a long action). What is the rate of twist in the barrel please. Thanks Yamavira.:)

Hi Most of the online data lists jacketted bullets. I wish to reload for several rifle calibres using Lead Bullets. Both gas checked & not gas checked. (0.223/30-30 Win./0.308/6.5x55 Swede/7x57 Mauser. Which books contain the best/most information for reloading using lead bullets of various...

0.357 Mag. U/L carbine. 163 grain flat base FN Cast Lead bullet. No gas check. Shooting to 50 yards. Would welcome loading data please. I have been using Alliant 2400 behind a 158 grain jacketted bullet. Can this powder be used behind a cast lead bullet ??? Cheers Yamavira.:)

:) I have a Marlin U/L in 30-30 Win & wish to make up rounds using a 150-160 grain Lead bullet. I do not wish to push it too hard as I prefer not to use a gas check. Appreciate Marlin say use jacketted bullets in their micro groove barrels but have seen pretty good results when cast lead...

This powder was launched with a lot of publicity by Alliant yet they do not appear to have developed many loads for it within the calibres highlighted during the launch. I have a Sauer 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser & as you are aware this calibre was designed around the 160 grain RN bullet.Yet Alliant...

Here in the UK we are seeing 2 "new" powders for which there appears little information. One is being sold as "Elcho 17". The other as "RL 140". With so little info people are using Rel 17 data & Viht N140 data for reloading. Both of these powders are man. by Nitrochemie AG. It would...
