What is everyone's preferred rifle rest for load development? I attempted a search but no results returned.

Could someone please explain vertical stringing and what causes it? I have seen it referenced in posts and in articles I was reading from a accuracy magazine I was recently reading.

Are there any downsides to storing loaded ammunition in a large coffee can? I have military ammunition cans but was wondering if there was any downside to coffee can storage?

For all of you that believe no one uses the search tool I just did. I am looking for information about slugging a barrel and I have about 36 pages from a search on Slugging. I will read it and post any questions. Someone from another forum suggested I make a mold of wood to create a solft...

Anyone have a manual for the Lyman 45. I had it working just fine but when I added a stick of lube I can't get it to work. The last stick of lube was the same as this one. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Marlin 1895 chambered in 45-70, purchased new in the past 2 years. I have been reading about the Marlin Guide gun and how the porting helps increase control and reduce recoil. If this porting is added to the 22" 1895, would the same benefits apply? What are the negatives. I remember...

I know this has been discussed but I can’t find the discussion. I looked for threads about this topic back through early July. Just to clarify. Crimping is used for autoloaders and lever actions but is not necessary for bolt actions. Is this true? Even if the bolt action is...

Anyone load 7.5 x 55 Schmidt Ruben for the K31? I am using a Lymqn round nose cast bullet of 160 grains. I am having trouble determining the seating depth. A frined using the same load told me 2.915 but the bolt will not close. I try to breach seat and the bullet get jammed in so tightly I...

I had my first casting session on Saturday night. Actually I did cast a handful at a friends house about a month ago as he was showing me the ropes. He casts two 2-gang lyman molds at a time. He uses locking handles (from Buffalo Arms, they are awesome) pours, puts it down, picks up the other...

I have never loaded with a single stage. I started with a Progressive. I recently acquired a Herters Single stage press and have the shell holder adapter from C & H. Here is my question: When using a RCBS collet puller I have to guide the .223 round into the collet. There is some wobble...

I know this doesn't involve handloading. Is there a more approate section? On gun selling sites such as gunbroker, people obscure the serial number of the gun. I assume this is done because there is some means of obtaining information about the owner just by knowing the serial number. So...

Can anyone explain this to me?

I am looking to begin reloading for the 8 mm mauser and I would like to try casting my own. I have a sporterized Mausker 98k, with an aperature sight that is fairly accurate. What molds work well in this rifle? Could anyone provide their load info including powder choice? I have...

Other than the obvious... what is the difference between hollow stick and solid sticks of bullet lube. Is the application different?

I may have a chance to obtain a low cost or free Herters single stage press. It looks like it is built very solidly. The press appears to be a C type press with an additional bar installed to close the "c". Anyone familiar with this press? I do not have a single stage press (only a...

During the process of depriming over 400 pieces of once fired 8mm Mauser brass I have about 9 shells where the decap pin has punctured the spent primer. The primer is ballooned well above flush right now. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will probably have to discard the brass but any...

Recently someone posted a website that had a comprehensive list of headstamps, manufacturers, etc. I can't find the post now, any one remember the link?

Looking for recommendations for a single stage press. I have a RCBS Pro 2000 and I would like a single stage to decap, pull errors, and FL Resize the rifle rounds which need FL. Any recommendations? I was looking at Lee due to the affordability. It seems many like the Rock Chuckler...

Can anyone give me an idea of the differences between the Lyman 45 and Lyman 450 Lubricators? I have someone at my gun club who is in to competitive cast shooting who advised me to look for a 45. He believes it works well and is built well. Two members of the forum offered me a 450 for sale...

Anyone use a Dillon Tumbler, either large or small? How do you like them? I have a Frankford Arsenal and I am entertaining the thought of buying a new tumbler which has a greater capacity and is quieter (I tumble outside but I have close neighbors).
