Regarding copper jacketed bullets recovered from berms or traps at a range: 1. What is the "typical" lead core BHN hardness and composition, if there even is such thing as typical? 2. Does the lead separate cleanly out of the copper jacket during smelting? Seems like a fair amount of lead...

Greetings, all. I came across some older powder from a trusted source. They are one partial 4 lb can, and two partial 1 lb cans. Powder looks and smells good. I'd like to weigh them to see how much is left in each. Does anyone have a tare weight on these cans when empty? THANKS for any...

Which type of Lemi Shine are you having good shiny results with? I got a Frankford Arsenal SS wet tumbler for Christmas. I've seen some pictures here of fantastic results with wet tumbling, many using Lemi Shine in the solution. I'm getting good-to-great results, but not quite as shiny as...

Hi, I did a search here, and with Google, on selling gun parts. I couldn't find anything that really helped. So, here's my situation. I want to part out a bolt action rimfire, 5 round clip, .22 WMR. Everything but the barrel. Can an individual (non FFL) legally sell and ship any part to...

I'd appreciate any help with identifying this trigger on my Mauser 98. It was passed down to me, and I don't know the rifle's history. It's been sporterized, and I'm guessing this is an aftermarket trigger. Looks like the screw that points directly up at the receiver (the screw with the...

There have been a couple of recent posts on powder measures, and a lot of people say their Brand X powder measure is "really accurate", or "super precise", or "very consistent", etc., but I don't see many numbers to quantify it. Consistency is what I'm looking for in a powder measure...

Hi. I'm looking at a used CZ 452-2E ZKM (stamped on the barrel). When I look at the CZ website, it looks just like the Lux. The owner's manual with the rifle says "Standard" on it, but I have no way of knowing if that's the manual that came with the rifle. Anyway, does that same model number...

I was full length resizing some .223/5.56 assorted range brass last night. This is a new caliber for me for reloading. On one case, the depriming pin got stuck in the flash hole. It sucessfully decapped the case, but as the ram lowered, the pin pulled out of the stem/expander, and the pin...

Hi. I have a Lee Challenger press that I'm pretty happy with, except that the primer arm (the part that fits into the ram and that seats the primer) frequently pops out and falls to the floor when I'm depriming and sizing cases. :mad: So I figured I'd just keep the primer arm out, since I...

Hi. Savage lists a fairly involved break-in procedures on their website under FAQs. It goes something like: Fire 10 rounds, with a pretty thorough cleaning between each round. Powder-solvent soaked patch, then five passes with a bore brush in each direction. Dry patches, then...

I'm new to reloading rifle cartridges, and I've been reading a lot (e.g, ABC's of Reloading, Speer reloading manuals, plus many others). For bottle-neck rifle cartridges, I've read that you should not seat a bullet deeper than the length of the neck of the cartridge case. Unfortunately, I...

Hi, all. New member to this forum, but I've been reading it for a while and have found a lot of great advice. THANKS. :) I have a Savage Model 12 FV in .243 on order. I'll use it for punching holes in paper and popping milk jugs full of water at 150 yds or less. Maybe groundhog hunting...
