Right about not pushing it. If you load for it, stay at the bottom. They really only have one lug. They are all smooth of action as far as I know. They are not much higher power than a 30-30 but a little stronger.

Good rifle, price seems to have risen. I have a 77/22. It cost about $250. It is better than a stock 10/22, my brother has one of those and always thought mine shot better especially at distance. I guess I've had it a long time now. I do have a pistol that groups nearly as well, at a...

Green Dot okay for 9mm. As stated above Green Dot works for 9mm, and it also cycles the action. It can make a little smoke compared to some other alternatives. I do not have a 45. Red Dot is pretty fast and would likely have narrow range of use in 9mm. So far the 700X, Red Dot, and...

Agree with LAGS and rcmodel You do not have to work your brass back so far, unless you cannot get your loads back in your chamber, and yes, you will have to make loads only for that rifle. This usually makes them shoot better for accuracy, and the brass will last much longer. I also agree...

Both work very well and have a long enough history. There are some advantages of the finer models, and the cheaper versions are a little rougher. If you are well adjusted to tang safeties you will want the 500. If you are not, the Maverick 88 has a safety near same as 870, is really a...

Will go bang. Follow directions. They shoot okay in mine but do not cycle the action, even though they seem as fast as other loads. Father reported same, but neither of us have pushed toward top of recommended load data. It is a pretty fast powder and your pistol may cycle.

Lee products are fine and inexpensive. The cartridge trimmers and autoprime hand held devices are both extremely recommended, work really well. The Lee reloading book is interesting enough but under powered compared to other manuals, no doubt the loads are safe. RCBS is maybe better for...

You could pick worse functional 9mm powders. Some of the faster ones work but will not cycle until pretty hot. They lack the oomph that will keep things moving after the bullet leaves the barrel even if they get the bullet going faster quicker. This is probably pistol specific. My own...

Ugly is right. Any holes thus can let gases come back toward the shooter from around the bolt. You don't want that to happen. I still believe you aren't in danger pressure levels with anything you've shown. Slight back outs of primers without the ring or flattening of the primer usually...

WinEXB has good photo there! Note the ring where the firing pin struck in 243winexb photo. This indicates high pressure. If yours just have the firing pin dent and no ring or lift around that area, like RCmodel above states it indicates low pressure not high. The edges of the primer also...

Could be other the direction. I shoot 30/40 Krag loads of a mild nature. They too back out the primer ever so slightly. This is often a sign of very mild pressures, when the cartridge does not get pushed from it's position and this results in the primer pushing out slightly on firing. It...

Maybe closest you can find in new rifles 25-06. Before the 25-06 came out the .257 was a real deal. After they were both around the one popular in the 1950's and 1960's fell off the list of calibers. There was a time when both were a little bit on the custom fringe. They are both very...

Old Ruger M77 Heavy nine pounder. Barrel 23 inches from receiver to muzzle and a lot of the weight. I will not push a cloth down bore right now as it is still deer season and it would throw my first shot off... I am with witchhunter above, it will work on coyotes. My experience is that...

Have not tried them. I use some 75 grain Sierra bullets and they are fair. There is not much attachment to the rifling and the accuracy suffers in my rifle compared to 120, 117, and 115 grain bullets of all kinds. I would recommend you try mild loads and would expect the groups to get...

Tung oil or linseed oil. I would say no mineral oil, that would just penetrate in farther. The linseed oil can be buffed up a bit and it will help against water. It will make the wood darker over time. Put a little on, rub it in with a rag. Come back the next day and try buffing before...

You can get a new similar pistol for near $300. The ammo might be kept and the pistol sold for that price, if the seller has a need for the ammo. He can always turn the offer down. A new SAR B6P is very similar and no more than $100 or so more money. It is built on similar patents in...

Zinc hurts the cast finished outer surface and changes the release from the molds. It makes an inferior product that does not have the same size as alloys without the contaminant. You may be able to make buckshot with some in it, but it may cause you pain and suffering as you go. It...

I'm with Swampman. I would rate Winchester brass pretty low, but only if it is fairly recent origin. In my first years reloading I never noticed it to have failures. Lately more often, and the overall quality is much lower than several other makers. It even seems to discolor and do...

Can you feel the raised ring area? I would guess it is a tool mark from the repair. If large enough it will cause brass failure at the groove, but it may take a few times fired. If you can see it and cannot really feel it the tool mark is there but the rifle may shoot well anyway. A...

It will work. You won't make a mistake in getting a P95 even if it is out of current production.
