I just spent several days driving and looking for game from central Ashland, Bayfield, and western Douglas counties. Saw a few turkey, and after three days of looking saw a grand total of 2 deer. ...

So educate me on this mould. Nominally a 180 grain. I've never seen any specs on it for diameter, but it sounds like something a micro-groove shooter might like, and maybe something for a tightly...

Thanks for the very good info guys. I think I'll talk my buddy into getting one version of the Lyman handles, and I'll buy the other, for science. Maybe I'll find one works better than the other for...

Hi all! I don't have any Lyman 4 cavity blocks to try, but will the Lee 6 cavity handles work on them? A buddy and I were just brainstorming this tonight and neither of us knew for sure. Anyone...

If you have set triggers, it could be the "kicker" for the triggers has become wedged in the up position, preventing the sear from dragging on the back of the hammer notch area. Easily checked by...

Having recently been showered with several hundred .480 Ruger cases, I'm looking for someway to put them to use. I was originally thinking of digging up a No. 1 rolling block action and barreling it...

Ahh! Excellent idea there. Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try with the 405.

I've recently aquired several hundred RWS 7X65R new brass. It looks like these would work for forming into 405 Winchester and 35 Winchester brass. The 35 I don't think will be a problem, but the...

I'd suggest maybe contacting Bobbie Hoyt about a barrel. He makes his own, so no problem getting something that works perfectly. Extractor will need to be reworked, since the 38-55 rim is much...

The 170 is based on the .410 model 67/77 shotgun design. The lifter issues with the entire series of these can be a nightmare. I've worked on about 4 of the 5 or more variations and the action lock...

If you are handy with sheet metal work, you could duplicate the slant magazine box Mauser used to use for rimmed rounds in the 98 actions. Similar to the Siamese box, it slants from the rear of the...

Gas check dies in .25, .30, 35, and .44 would be of interest to me. I'd only be using them on gas check design bullets, so the thicker flashing would be of interest. Quality of the finished check...

Skeeter. Back in the days before a lot of handgunning info was available in print, Shooting Times was where it was at if you were a student of using the handgun in the field. I well remember...

10.75x57 has always piqued my interest. Would be a great round for a 93/95 Mauser action, since it was developed during that time period for those actions (and apparently for the '88 action as...

For me it would be a hard decision, CZ or the Vanguard/Howa. Depending on calibre wanted, that could make the decision for me. Have 4 Vanguards that are excellent shooters, calibres from .270 to...

For Lee moulds, unless the design is no longer produced, I would seriously consider buying new. Lee blocks seem to be softer or wear out of spec faster than say an Accurate or LBT block. The two...

You might want to dig up the articles Ross Seyfried wrote in the American Rifleman in the ( I think) early 80's. As I recall, he used jacketed .458 diameter bullets and patched them up to work in a...

Thanks for the explanation guys, makes perfect sense now.

I have a question about the use of a tapered, paper patch bullet mould. I'm looking at two essentially identical moulds, save one is tapered, the other not. Advantages? Disadvantages? The only...

Or look around for a Savage 99 in .300 Savage with a bad bore and rebarrel to .270 Titus. Would make a practical shooter, and since it was originally designed to function through the .300 rotor with...

The cheap route would be what Hickory said, sell it buy what you're really looking for. With the dearth of 41 mag Marlins out there, I've thought of converting a 44 mag to it. The bolt face is a...

My Hornet, 32-20, and .445 barrels all came packaged that way, circa 1990. The Zipper is a neat round, enjoy!

Removing the drum and or breechplug on a CVA is a big no-no. Because of the way they are manufactured (see the excellent pics above) when you put the drum back in chances are it will not index with...

If you ever come across some old WW 630 ball powder, load that up in a .41 mag with the Sierra 170 gr. Wait till half an hour after sunset and let 'er rip. Your eyes will see stars for 10 minutes...

Well, you have a Siler lock there, so that's about a $100 dollar lock. The triggers appear to have been misadjusted. That little screw between the triggers controls the amount of the trigger bar...
