Slug the bore to find out what the groove diameter is. Check the throat dimensions in the chambers. If you can size the boolits to fit in the throats, and still be 1-2 thousandths that would be ideal.

I'm assuming (you know what that means) the said boolits would be used in a revolver. So, before one starts buying boolit moulds, one needs to determine the groove dimension of said revolver, and...
I'll probably never stop. Just shoot less. I don't compete, and never have. Well, only against myself. I move purty slow, and I enjoy that. I punched a time clock for 40 years. I don't even wear a...
My wife and I drove to Meridian Idaho this week to visit the grandkids and great grandkids. While there, we went to Scheels department store. They had thousands of CCI #34 large rifle primers. I live...

I picked up 2 full bottles of H380 at an estate sale on Saturday. 5.00 per bottle. I've never used it, but at that price I figured I could find a use for it.

I went to a couple estate sales yesterday. There was a few reloading tools and componants, but non that I needed. But, there was 2 full bottles of H380 marked 5.00 each. The original store sticker...

Very nice lookin Remington. Looks to have been taken care of. I'm with Gtek about different ammo. There's some ammunition out there that the rifle will really cotton to. About your shootin, that's...

Don't know how many of members have been wanting to get a hammer extension for their Winchester 9422 lever gun, only to find that some may not fit properly. That's exactly what happened to me on my...

August of last year, I picked up a nice 1898 Springfield Krag, manufactured in 1903. I think I'll keep checking with them off and on.

Sounds like you have a second calling as a BNBB, aka, a banana nut bread baker. Your bread looks absolutely delicious.

Went back out to the range yesterday to check velocities on my 30-40 loads. It rained off and on yesterday, but I managed to set up and shoot my 10 shot string while the sun popped through. I was...

My 311284 mould drops out of round and undersize boolits. It would be nice if Lyman DID take more pride In their bullet mould tolerances. I've had problems with their moulds ever since I started...

What is your alloy, and do you know what the bhn is? The bhn on my cast boolits run 12-13. I powder coated and shot some a few days ago. The bore looked good, with no fouling. They performed...
Regarding the implants.
Not much more to tell. Each (left and right) implant have a different prescription, or magnification, if that's the way to call it. I'm right eye dominant, so the right...
Wow
Another close call yesterday. I was casting up some 311284 boolits for my Krag. I had just ladle'd and poured both cavities. With the mould over the pot, some of the molten sprue dribbled off...

I stand corrected. You are correct. I will edit and correct. Thank you.
Good to hear no one has sustained serious or permanent injury.

I really enjoy the looks other shooters have when they walk by the Krag setting on the bench. Some recognize the Krag, but haven't seen one in years. Others have never seen one before, and start...

I don't load through the magazine either. Just single loading. I may try that to see how well it will shoot. Interesting concept. Thanks for the tip.
