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...

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...

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...

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...

How the heck did he get banned for these two posts?? :o

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...

Thanks, always good to have options when looking for obsolete gun parts. Will Bookmark this source for future reference.

Are there any marks/scrapes on the rounds that won't chamber when you extract them?

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...

My experience with those type jobs is that the more tools you have available, the better you are for all the unexpected "surprises" you always run into. I changed one out a few months ago and the...

Wilco, I've forgotten but did you buy some casting equipment while considering it but now are deciding it's too much trouble or were you just considering it and decided to not even dabble in it at...

I only have the sample of one gun but I got a SP101 in 38 Special years ago for my wife to use as a home defense gun. She is a small woman and it became imediately obvious that she didn't have...

Here in north Alabama and middle Tennessee, Spring is more of a concept than an actual event. We have 3 days of cool weather then Summer hits and sticks around until the 2nd week of November. For...

I'm going to move within a year to the farm where we are trying to build a house. I need to start taking a bucket or two of wheel weights each time I go on my regular trips up there. I've got a...

As that old poem I was forced to read somewhere in school stated:
"In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of a NEW RIFLE."

Well, that's the way I remember it anyway. :) ...

I grew up on a farm so all my early work didn't pay anything. Got to eat lots of good beef though since we raised angus cattle!

I see a lot of the inflation calculators and they seem to be...

Surely you jest?! Yeah, you can shoot cast in a 22-250 but that's like powering a Corvette with a single cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine.
