Shows back in stock again. Better be quick.

The notification worked for me as that’s how I knew they had some in stock. They still do, so they must have gotten in a good supply.

It's been available for a couple days. It usually sells out immediately.

Thanks gents. A few days after posting this I spotted this larger bolt handle on Midway. Made by Savage, it doesn't have nearly as nice a finish as the original, but it works nicely. The finish on...

Here's something for those of you who appreciate some old school stuff. I bought this Savage 110-S in .308 in 1977 or 78 when I became interested in high power silhouette. I didn't have the money to...

My experience with RF jacketed bullets is they like to be close to the lands. Also, while I like TAC, I’ve had best results with heavier than 55 grain bullets in .223. I like X-Terminator in Ramshot...

The bore in my 32-40 Hi Wall looks to be in poor condition. Way back when, I heard the Loverin style bullets would mitigate some bore issues due to their long bearing surface. I've used the Lyman...

I started swaging .224 bullets from rimfire cases back in 1984 when I bought the Corbin set. I started with reloading press dies, then after a year I bought a CSP press and type M dies, which I still...

I had the same experience with the original RCBS hand tool back in the late '70s and early '80s. Broke many handles. I sent the tool back to RCBS and they sent another one back. Hard to imagine...

I bought my copy in 1973 or 1974. It has the supplement that refers to new cartridge developments 44 Mag, .22 Jet, 256 Win, etc), and new guns (Super Blackhawk, Colt Trooper among others). Here are...

You are welcome, thanks for taking a look. I like them too, and would like to see him stay at it.

I bought my first dies from Dave Corbin in 1984, which is getting to be a long time ago now. Talked to him on the phone several times over the years, usually about something minor like a punch or...
Forum: Swaging
Yes, they are significantly heavier, so a core seating punch setting good for something like a CCI case will give a lot higher pressure with the typical Federal case. Something to watch for to avoid...

I've found brass make is another variable in 1/9 and 1/7 AR barrels. Bullets made with Federal brass seems to be more reliable. In the SP1 with it's 1/12 and in the Ruger No. 1, I can push RF...

The load I use in the M94 is one I started using 30 years ago when I came into a bunch of 4198 cheap and looked for places to use it. 311291, coww, .310", 21 gr 4198 (either one), LOA 2.535 for 1800+...

Too bad S&W didn't make a M27 with M29/M57 length cylinders.

I don't know who the silly loudenboomer fraternity is, but true, anything can be loaded down. I can attest that a 257420 at a muzzle velocity of 1800 fps turns a ground squirrel inside out inside...
