Bump!

A good babbit that contains copper is an excellent alloy sweetener. If one takes the time to learn about what works well and what does not, he'll find there is a time and place for copper in his alloy. For pistol plinking boolits, IMHO it is a waste...

I agree some sort of shake and bake routine. I run it in a Dillon machine and after I get it settled down initially it meters just fine. Then I try to keep the powder hopper over half full so it gets shaken down as I load. 700X is a powder I have...

That's the one I was very interested in and I finally decided to go for it. Love the little cartridge and am developing loads for the gun. The chamber was a little rough with machining marks (which should not have been present) so I carefully...

chaphill, Have you checked the year of manufacture on your Low Wall? Yes some late Winchester manufacture rifles were chambered in some rather warm cartridges but many were converted later. A 25-35 cartridge with black powder has a very...

Mauser Sporting rifles with receiver sights and nice wood. Stock with clean lines. Think of Clark Gable shooting crocodiles from a river boat. I'll take mine in a M-70 Win flavor or one of the fine Montana Rifle Co. examples.

I've had the best results with A/C boolits of a fairly soft alloy of 25% COWW / 75% purish lead. FIT helps tremendously for good accuracy. My powders have been Unique/Reddot/Bullseye for loads well under the speed of sound. Edd

From experience with 30-30 brass. I can inform you that if you run a gas checked boolit through a size die that leaves the gas check a larger diameter than the boolit body. During the following bullet seating operation. Gas check will expand the...

For running a computer like we all here have. use a battery backup system then have a generator hooked to the battery via the battery charger outlet or a battery charger hooked into the 110 volt . This will give you filtered 110 volt electricity...

We have a little portable air cooled gas engine gen. What I’d like to have is a PTO driven generator to run off our 1951 model year Ford 8n farm tractor. It’s only duty the last few decades has been to pull a five foot bush hog mower. It gets as...

Oven cleaner sounds like a good hunch. The old Trim Sol brand cutting fluid (coolant) we used to have was a water soluble mineral oil. This new stuff is much nicer to use and smell but I've not been to school on it. Probably still a mineral oil...

I have mixed same manufacturer powders from partial containers before. I see no reason it would not be safe IF one re-developed loads for said powder. Likely there isn't a great difference in burn characteristics, but to be prudent, I'd reduce a...

OK...I am in for 1 - 4 cavity, .360 diameter. PM to follow. Thanks for running the Group Buy Rich. - eddbadger at wildblue dot net Edd

Picked up six boxes at Rural King today. That's a years supply in 22's. So what's the big fuss over? If I thought my neighbors would eat me in hard times I'll guarantee you I'd of moved last week.

I use the RCBS primer pocket swag kit on a Rock Chucker press. First I lightly chamfer pockets with a case neck tool or various other chamfer tools in a drill. Not to much cutting. Just remove the raised metal that will never go back in place...

How can you ban hunting wolves. Unless you’re controlling robots. Since the early seventies we’ve shot anything coyote and larger size dog like without a color on it. Florescent orange dog colors were popular for a while. For years now it’s very...

Lyman 45th has 700x loads for 30-30 Win.

Yes and while I've never seen it. My bet is bison bulls would occasionally take out a wolf or two with hooves and horn. Creating a population balance.

Yes the bore on a US 30 is supposed to be .300". I've had issue with bullets accidently getting over 301" with RCBS 30-180-FN and the Lyman #311299. Both have long bore ride sections. With that much bore ride diameter needs to be closely...
