    80 yrs old surplus ammo!

    I found Yugoslav steel cased ammo for a decent price. It was made in the seventies. Same questions asked then as now. It looked good and shot good in my Yugoslav Mauser 24/47. It was a lot of fun. But these warnings of anything older have me being cautious. Eighty years old and looking...

    43 Mauser 1871

    I only have some qual cart. You guys, what of soft jacket bullets in .446 they won’t melt. Expensive but not harmful to the rifling. An easy fix. But will they perform?

    43 Mauser 1871

    I don’t think a .454 will fit. Hawk bullets has soft jacket bullets. I could try them.

    What bullet w/ BP?

    I thought of using a .452 plated bullet. Soft lead. But won’t .433 lands distort it badly?

    What bullet w/ BP?

    I appreciate the info about bullets that fill the bore, but how do you push them into the case. I’ve never had a PP bullet that didn’t bunch up on top of case. I used a .439 bullet, 2 wraps of .0025 paper.

    What bullet w/ BP?

    That’s the groove of the 71/84. This seems like it’s different technically speaking. With my groove that bullet would gas cut.

    What bullet w/ BP?

    I have a 43 Mauser 1871 I want to shoot bp in. What bullet do I shoot. It has .454 grooves and .433 lands. Do I need to fill the barrel with the bullet? Or can I shoot .446. Hawk bullets because they are jacketed. It’s a special problem to be sure. I could PP but to what diameter? Or...

    43 Mauser 1871

    This rifle has a .454 groove and a .433 lands. It’s a pristine bore. But for the life of me, I can’t figure out what bullet to use. Either it’s going to be too big for the case or too small to fill the bore. That in cludes paper patching. OK do you want me to PP and not fill the bore? Or...

    6.5 nickel brass

    what happens when you re form it to that different size. Is it malleable or does it bind or anything? I want to change 303 British in a fairly big way. Did you have any problem?

    Nickel brass worthwhile to reload?

    I don’t think I’d use nickel 303 British brass to reform to something else. If it anneal maybe but sounds too tough. Might even flake.

    I think the second part of that question is does nickel brass anneal well?

    LR Mag Primers v LR Standard

    Winchester LRP for standard and magnum loads are ok for everything. If you are being safe and reducing by 10% they should be ok especially in a large capacity case. If LPPM are ok why not. This is a time of experimentation unless you want to quit shooting. So try a few and check for...

    Swedish FM23-36 trials match rifle

    If you will pardon the expression ‘bit chin’’. That is nice sort of modern art. Is it all original? From what year.
