Great idea. Looks perfect to go on the bolt of a Mosin Nagant.

We have Allstate now. For 20+ years with Geico in Florida and then they doubled our insurance premium, ZERO accidents or tickets. They claimed that Florida had over 70% of drivers driving without...
I have a little single shot that the 444 Marlins just drop right in. I did get a reloading die set to resize. Here is an article about it...

+1 on the Lee 185 gr Gc boolit. The Lyman Loverlern design works well. Now I have this one https://www.mp-molds.com/product/8mm-hunter-gas-check-solid-2-cavity-mold/ ...
According to my shotgun manual and shotshell reloading manuals you are not supposed to use anything tighter than a Modified Choke with Steel or Hevi Shot. The pellets won't constrict like lead. It...

It always shows the press mounted on a riser. Go figure. Once you figure it out, it's a good press from what I understand.

A bit of Linotype and tin would help. If you are not driving them fast, 38 special range, then you'll be fine with a flat/plane based boolit. Once you go over 1000 fps you'll need to harden up to...
