My immediate thought was this was a redesign of the 7.63 (.30) Mauser/7.62x25mm Tokarev. Ballistics are similar to the Tokarev reload with 100 grain XTP and something over 5 grains of Power Pistol...

Interesting thread. I bought a Chassepot as converted by Kynoch to 11.60R (.43 Mauser). As I'm forming my brass I believe I will be able to use a .45 caliber boolit (have to see if I'll need to...

It's sort of interesting to see all the warnings about reducing charges when using military brass for the cartridge conversions. Back in the 50s and 60s, when GI '06 brass was really cheap (I seem...

Update. I still have the .45-90 cases. Someone in another thread on 11.15 Mauser suggested .300 Win Mag so I tried a few of those from the "I don't have it but might some day" brass box. Turning...

Hey Bad ***, long time no see you on these pages (and that might just be me being elsewhere). Hope all is well with you and the Wuhan ChiCom Flu hasn't bothered you. My current project is...

PCd .50-70? How do you keep the powder fouling soft from shot to shot? Do you use a blow tube or run a wet patch through after each shot? :kidding: I do realize that some people don't use Holy...

I'm working on .45-90 to 11.15x60mm. Doing it for a Kynoch conversion of an 1873 Chassepot to the Mauser cartridge. Advantage is the Kynoch conversion has a flat bolt face. No ejector as the paper...

East Coast Reloading has 10mm OFB - 250 @ $39.99 plus shipping and 6.8 Remington SPC 250 @ $90.00 plus shipping (OK 25 @ $9.00, they might not have 250 in stock). Why indeed.

I sprayed the inside of any cases I bought with silicone spray just as soon as I got the case. Didn't keep them floating in the boating accident though.

Thanks. That seems a reasonable answer and also means we will either need to hang on to number 5 tubs still out there or try out every new tub with the indiscriminate marking to see if it works for...

Emptied a margarine tub recently and noticed that there was no recycle number on it. It had a recycle icon with "Plastic Tub". Has anyone tried using one of these? Is it an acceptable replacement...

I am so sorry for your loss and will pray for you all.

Mine too, though I only use it at the range with BPCR. All others get deprimed on a press dedicated to depriming.

IN the late '60s, when I had an 06 FFL, I didn't have any Lee equipment. I understand the need there. But there's no need to denigrate another man's purchasing decisions based on your needs. You...

I have a lot of Lyman and RCBS equipment and a lot of Lee, particularly for those calibers I don't load a lot (e.g. 6.5x50 Jap). No equipment manufacturer is error/failure proof. All the reloading...

Being not young (OK more than a year or two over 70), I found that butt plate to be a problem for that rifle (a Taurus/Rossi R92), even with the 24" octagon bbl adding weight. Bought Boyd's Win 92...

I put on Steve's receiver rear which replaces the bolt lock. Put a green Fiber Optic front on too. Grandson shot it this summer. Shot it and the Marlin, both in .45 colt and told me the R92 is his...

This! The Lee rubber "O" ring works fine if you are installing dies in removable turrets where you have no intention of removing them. I use them in that manner. But for those calibers where I...

That has been my experience, though I have to say that the Forster jaw adjustment design change makes the setup easier for me (I have both a brown and red).

Forum: Reloading Equipment
That probably would work. But since I have to put the next case in the shell holder, it is just as easy to push the finished case out with the next case. Been doing that since my brand new Lyman...

It seems my Taurus (Rossi 92) is an aberration. .45 LC, octagon 24" bbl (model no longer made) I changed the sights with Steve's green front and safety replacement aperture rear. Getting old, so I...
