I agree that the starting load with LVR should give you about 2,000ft/sec when you consider that the load data was obtained with a 24" barrel and your carbine is 20" as are most 30-30's. Should do...

I envy those places that have little sunshine and hardly any summer. I always hated heat and sunshine and it gets worse as I get older. I don't even like to go outside except in late Fall or...

My Father trapped quite a few coons with my large HavaHart but he had to do some adjusting/modifying on the trap to be successful because coons would back out after getting the bait. First he had...

One negative about flat punches is that they provide zero alignment going into the sizer die. With short handgun bullets this is not a problem. With longer rifle bullets, it can easily result in...

They love clover or soybeans but not sure how to use either for bait in a trap since they usually eat them while still growing. I have a hog that has moved in my shop right under my 77 Trans Am and...

Thankfully I started collecting up some body parts for my 64 and 65 Chevy trucks in the late 80's and real early 90's. I got two doors, all 4 fenders, and assorted other body parts. All were...
8.4 grains of Unique with various 240 to 250 grain cast bullets has been my main 44 Mag plinking load for years. I chose 8.4 because that's the amount a RCBS Little Dandy rotor drops in the general...

I have a carbine in 7.62x39. When they 1st came out I 1st saw one at Gander Mountain and stopped by each day after work to hold it for a couple weeks. I waited about another year before ordering...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Are you still using an over powder wad of some sort? I'd think it would help since that capsule doesn't have much strength but then the rice is so light who knows. IF cutting all the wads could...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
Now that is an interesting development with these rice bug loads. I never knew you could buy empty capsules like that. I'm looking on Amazon and the brand I'm seeing shows size 0 capsules to be...

Your request would be seen by a lot more people in the Swapping & Selling sub-forum. You just need to meet the 30 post minimum requirement to use that part of the site.

Wood and blued steel - makes me smile to see them in this current world of plastic and painted guns!

I bought a couple buckets of wheel weights in 2022 at my local scrap yard and they were either 30 or 35 cents/lb - same as they have been for many years. The only thing is that there are more and...

I got 2 lbs of Hodgdon CFE BLK ($45 each) and 1 lb of Lil Gun ($40) from Powder Valley. Of course, there was $26 of Shipping and Tax added (it was a one day only Free HAzMat sale). I needed some...

I agree on the cleaning. I'd strip it down all the way and clean out everything, check springs for wear then reassemble and try it again. I've always thought one of those would be interesting to...
Forum: Our Town
I agree. It has surprised me to see so many shooters that think they have to get rid of all their guns before they die because it will be too much bother to their kids to have to get rid of it once...
Forum: 3D PRINTED RELATED ITEMS
I hand sorted about 1,500 recently and thought I had them all in the correct piles. When I went to seat primers I found that a simple visual isn't 100% trustworthy. I do aim to go to great...

Looks great to me. I would make sure to seal up the bottom side or wasp's will fill it up with nests and ruin your day when trying to shoot.

Since you say Power factor is not an issue, I'm taking that to mean you are only required to hit the steel plates and not knock them over, so a heavy bullet isn't needed. IF that's true, I love the...

I always want a vice on the end. If it is in the middle you are always going to have to go over it when moving from either side. This goes for regular work benches or loading benches. On my...

Are there any marks/scrapes on the rounds that won't chamber when you extract them?
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
They worked well enough for me that I ordered 22K of them from NormaUSA with their Free Shipping deal.

I wonder that too. As a holder of a FFL for 35 years until just last month, I had access to true wholesale gun related items. Now the industry has pushed back hard against individuals with FFL's...
