Forum: Shot Guns
I just recently bought an 18" .357 insert from their eBay store. That seems to be their preferred way of doing business.
I have never shot a 5" .44 magnum with any load. I have shot an 8" .500 with full house loads and prefer it to a J frame with +P 38's. My point is the weight and shape of the gun have as much affect...

I am going to go against most of the advice here and suggest an old South Bend 9A. They are out there and turn up occasionally for sale. Make sure it is a 9A not B or C. The A model has the quick...

For what you are doing I would recommend a 3 or more flute 60 degree countersink instead of a center drill which is only two flutes. The counter sink will jump around less and produce a smoother cut...

Burris Fastfire 3 minute dot. Last I looked about $160

I might be interested in helping you. As noted above a picture would be helpful.

My (limited) experience with Hi-tek has shown me two things. You have to be careful loading it to not scrape it off with the case mouth and your bore needs to be squeaky clean and smooth. Fouled,...

Edit: my friends Rossi is a .357 not a .22. His .22 lever gun is a Henry golden boy. Also very nice.

So you bought a Garand 40 years ago and have never fired it?

Hodgdon High Gun is the same as Titegroup according to many sources including a thread here.

I prefer the 300 because it shoots cast boolits or jacketed equally well and as noted above with less powder. I have a .223 upper which doesn't see much use these days.
I agree with Lloyd. My favorite cast boolit load for my 300 is 6 grains of Unique under a NOE 309-169-FN with a gas check.
Forum: Leverguns
I load a coated Lee 250 grain boolit over 10 grains of Unique. I don't own a chronograph but it is soft shooting and plenty accurate.

I have wanted to try duplex loads for a while and after following this thread and reading what else I could find I gave it a go. I load a paper patched boolit over a lightly compressed load of 2F for...

Several years ago mine did the same thing. A drop of blue loctite cured the problem. Had to take apart about hundred .45 target loads with an impact puller. Now part of my routine is to make sure I...
I don't have a .45-70 but 10 grains of Unique under a 250 grain boolit works great in my .38-55
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I have a chance to trade for a pound of IMR4166. Since any flavor of 4895 is unobtanium I am wondering if this would be good for cast in a Garand. I did a search and there is nothing recent and...

[QUOTE=lar45;5618726]I wonder if they'd work in an AR?
Obviously wouldn't cycle the action, but accuracy?[/QUOTE
I don't see why they would not do fine. I shoot low powered cast boolit loads in my...

Separate seating and crimping is better for .45 acp. You don't want a roll crimp for .45's like you do on revolver cartridges. You want a taper crimp that does little more than remove the bell from...

I played around with a 300 BO upper for my AR and never was happy with it. To be fair I probably didn't spend enough to get a good barrel and I only shot powder coated cast in it. The best it ever...
