I have been reloading for 50 years and have way more powder and powder types than one should have. I like VV powders so this is not to talk them down. VV N120 is the only powder I have ever had go...

I have a friend that purchased a double trigger Taylor Uberti and it misfires badly. I have taken it apart twice and I think I know what the problem is but do not know a solution. The sear spring is...

I have looked at 20+ reamer prints for cartridges that are normally cast bullet cartridges. Throat angles run from 1/2 deg to 3 deg. The most common is 1 1/2 deg which is also the throat angle widely...
I will probably have another barrel made for my 40-65 CPA Rifle. For those unfamiliar it is quite easy to change the barrels and breech block when necessary. My 38-55 is a Pedersoli Highwall and the...
I have given this consideration and I know the 32-40 works extremely well to 200 yards for the Schuetzen crowd. Just unsure whether stretching to 300 yards would be asking too much when velocities...
The type match is what some refer to as Buffalo Matches, we use period correct rifles or reproductions such as Sharps, Highwalls, Rolling Blocks, Stevens 44 1/2, Ballards, Etc. We shoot from the...
Respectfully, I already have what the others are shooting and I would like to build something different if it makes sense. I set a World Record in 1000 yd Benchrest by building a heavy rifle that was...
What weight bullet would you need and how fast in the 30 cal.
Hard to use a rimless case in some of our single shot actions but 30 Herrett is real close to BR capacity I think.
I compete in Benchrest Single Shot Matches with the longest shots being 300 yards. I currently shoot smokeless and am not interested in shooting black powder. The bullets must be plain base and I...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I am considering a new 40 cal mold with the front drive bands slightly less than bore diameter. I currently use a lubrisizer to apply my lube. With reduced drive bands what is the best way to apply...

Would get used up at my place. Just mix it up well and use it. I would not mix powders of large variance in burn rate but that is not the case here.

Mind me asking what you use for your solution.

A prime example of Government Overreach. Just incredible, the Government is no longer "For The People".

What I was thinking aluminum fouling. Wonder what kind of bore cleaner you would need to get that out of a barrel.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Brass hardens some with age so I would recommend annealing as well before using this. Of course don't anneal the primed cases without de-priming them.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
It is almost a straight walled case so I would not expect firing to make the case grow much.
I think LabRadar is the nicest I have used over the years. It is a bit pricey though but I am amazed we have affordable Doppler Radar that we can use for measuring our bullet speeds.
I own Harris, GG&G and Atlas. They each have there pros and cons but my favorite is the Atlas. A shoot the Precision Rifle matches and I see more Harris being used than any others. These are on...
Never heard this about Nightforce. Premier Reticles reworked Leupolds for years changing reticles and boosting the magnification.

Exactly. I work some as a RSO at a local indoor range and I see this all the time. Real easy for improper crimp to swell the case just behind the shoulder. You can see it upon close inspection...

How often should one change the oil in the lathe? I have a Clausing Colchester that has been in my possession for 20 years and I have yet to change the oil. It gets used on average 8-10 hrs/week.

Do you have a sketch or picture of this adapter? I have a lathe, mill, etc so might could make it if I had a drawing.

I purchased a used medium sized commercial grade unit off EBay years ago and saved considerable $ compared to comparable new unit. Use it for cleaning parts, brass, suppressors. Amazing what the...
Agree, I am sad that when I wear the one out I am using now that there are no more the same.
Thanks for the info, I did not know this. I am on my second year with the Edge program. I buy a lot of stuff off Amazon and EBay though because Brownell's pricing even with Dealer discount is quite...
