    9.3x74R to .410 shells

    I was watching a you tube video today about turning 9.3x74 brass into .410 shot gun shells, has any one here done that? I have 100 unfired unprimed9.3x74r cases. There was also a video about using .444 Marlin cases but they were only 2 1/4" long

    1910 Argentine Action

    I was at a Gun show yesterday and had brought my Flaig's (280 Rem.) made on a 1910 Argentine action, just to see what kind of action it would bring. I had one dealer tell me that I should just say it is a Mauser action. When I did a search only 1909 actions came up, am I wrong? I remember a old...

    .300 G&A or .300 Broadcreek

    I years ago I bought a Ruger #1 in .300 G&A or .300 Broadcreek. It was a rifle made by the Broadcreek rifle works IIRC in NJ. It was a 404 Jeffries case neck down to .30. It has a fluted SS bbl. and a George Vies muzzle brake. My question is, how close to the Remington .300 ultra mag is this...

    A few thoughs

    This is not my post but is an interesting perspective, I am not sure about the number of firearms quoted, but it is around 400 million. More Americans own more guns and ammunition today than at any time in the history of the nation. Gun control has done nothing to stop gun ownership, it’s a...

His wife and mine have become pretty good friends, he is a very quiet type of guy and we have been over there for Thanksgiving dinner and they have been over to our house several times as well. He knows I...

    Case weight variations

    I am considering converting some loaded LC and TW crimped blanks into 300 BO. I cut one each of LC and TW dumped powder and weighed both cases. There was a difference of 3.1gr between each. I normally weigh new cases (sorted by head stamp) on a bell curve. What should be the cut off on the...
