Washers Under Nipples Hi Hellgate, You are correct about the Du-Bro washers being discontinued. After I made my initial reply a short time ago I checked the Du-Bro website and saw they have them listed but discontinued which is unfortunate as they are just the right size. I have not...

Washers Under Nipples Hi BowerR64 and Other Fellow THR BP Shooters, I have a Pietta 1860 Army and use Glo Plug washers - one under each nipple - which keeps the nipples sitting a little higher and giving a good strike on the cap every time. The washers are copper and used in Glo Plug...

Tumbling Live Ammo Hi Guys, I never tumble loaded ammo - I read somewhere ( don't know where ) but it was a few years back, that powder manufacturers apply various coatings over the powder granules to change ( slow ) burn rates and that tumbling live ammo can wear the coating off and...

Hi 243winxb, Thank you for this information - I have more Eley ammunition than Winchester in my 410 ammo stock and the Winchester I have is now a few years old. Of late I have been firing the Eley and therefore have more spent Eley shells than Winchester to reload. In fact until recently I...

Hi rcmodel, Thank you for that link - the Ballistic Products carrier/wad and ball looks to be the same item as Midway has for sale so I will try Ballistic Products if I can't find anything here in Australia. thanks Brent2172

Hi UnclePete, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate I could load in more than one lead ball but my idea was to use a single slug or ball. The Midway website NCsmitty referred me to has a single round lead ball of .375 inch weighing 93grains sitting on top of a plastic carrier/wad which would...

Thank you for the replies. Remo-99 - I will check the ADI site as suggested for shot loads. My gunshop should be able to get me some WWAA41 wads and appropriate primers. I have some shot and also have ADI AR2205 powder which I use to reload for my .310 Martini Cadet rifle. I plan to cut...

Hi Guys - thank you for your replies :- 243winxb - thank you for the suggested websites - I will check those out. The ammo I currently use in this gun is mainly "ELEY " brand 2" and 2 1/2" shells with No. 6 shot - the 2" take 5/16 oz of No. 6 shot and the 2 1/2" take 7/16 oz of No.6 shot. I...

I am looking for information on reloading 410 shotgun shells with a single slug or single round ball as well as pellet loads. Does anyone have any information including powder types and loads as well as information on suitable wad types etc ? I have an old ( 1930's) hand tool for rolling...

Hi Rem0-99 Thank you for the information from ADI. I also emailed the ADI Enquiry Desk as I wanted to ascertain data for a reduced load with cast projectiles for the 25/303 using Trail Boss powder. ADI emailed back advising they had no specific data for the 25/303 but they gave me...

Reload Data for 25/303 NCsmitty : Thank you for the welcome and the website - I will check that out. armoredman: Yes, the 25/303 ( or 303/25) was originally very popular in Australia particularly as a medium game hunting calibre. It fires a .257 projectile out of a necked down .303 case...

I've got a Lee Enfield No. 1 manufactured 1897 at Sparkbrooke ( UK) and it's been converted from .303 to 25/303 - the previous owner had been firing factory ammo which was made in Australia up to a few years back. I've got some of the factory ammo that came with the rifle but I am holding off...

Savage Rifles Hi MSPIII, Yes, I know your rifle is a pump action .22 whereas my riflle is a bolt action Savage - I've got two of them both in 32/20 - I put a 4 power scope on one of them and the other I shoot with the open iron sights. I haven't had them that long and have been shooting...

Information on older Savage rifles Hi MSPIII, On 5th June 2009 I posted a thread seeking information on my old Model 23C bolt action 32/20 Savage rifle as I had been unable to find much information on it. rcmodel replied with some helpful information but apart from that I couldn't find any...

Hi rcmodel, Thank you for your reply and information. Since I bought the 23C Savage I have thought it was probably made around the 1930's so the production dates you have provided support that. A couple of the wesites I checked made mention of Savage having lost records in a fire...

Hi Fellow THR Members - I joined THR a few days ago and this is my first attempt at posting into a forum. Recently I purchased an old Savage Model 23C bolt action in 32/20 - it has a five round detachable box magazine. The Serial Number is 60XXX. I have done a bit of research on Google...
