That mould looks like it should be just the thing for the 308 and -06. I am not sure how experienced you are so I will answer your question as if you are new to paper patching. To get ready, look for...

I have had Hondas and now a Triumph Bonneville. I have nothing against HD's other than I can't afford one.

That looks like a great boolit that you designed for Mosins. Have you hunted with it? I am using the Lyman 314299 in my Mosins, works great.

I have a 91/30 stock that was so soaked with cosmoline that it would bubble out of the wood pores when the rifle got hot at the range.
This weekend I disassembled the rifle, wrapped all the wood...

You do good work Gruff. Great ingenuity on the peep sight and barrel sling attachment. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thanks for the reply Coot. I was thinking that a hollow base boolit with the with the patch folded into the cavity would be more accurate than a grease boolit with the patch twisted and cut. Also the...

I am looking for a hollow base, nose pour 30 cal paper patch mould. Do you guys know do anybody making them?

I wish that I had enough lead to need a smelting pot that big.

I installed a new one pin sight on my compound bow this morning and headed out to the back yard to sight it in. My two boys (6 and 8 years old) tagged along eager to "help" dad sight it in. This is...

I want to HP my 30 cal cast boolits for hunting. I tried using a drill press without much success, just could not keep the HP centered perfectly. I had an idea of using a Lee Factory crimp die to...

Glad that you are safe Sam. I have packed up my gear and left the range in a hurry more than once when I see people acting stupid but I have never seen anything that stupid!

Thanks for the help. Your answers are pretty much what I expected but I wanted to hear from those that have been down this road already. I am working on paper patching for my 308 Winchester, I hope...

I see that some here use gas checks on their paper patched boolits, some don't. What is the the general rule on this? With a properly sized boolit, does the use of a paper jacket make the gas check...

Great job, looks like a nice coup. I would suggest a rain gutter on the roof connected to a raised rain barrel. Run a PVC pipe into the could with about 10 water nipples spaced about a foot apart....

I needed a 0.302" push through sizer for paper patching 30cal. I ordered a .285 sizer and ran a "M" sized drill bit witch got me to .295". This left a step instead of the taper that Lee uses. I...

Thank you everyone for the insight. I am on the fence about buying a M die or similar for 30 cal rifle. I think that I will get one next time I make an online order.

Here is my "Finncub" it looked just like yours when I got it. I removed the sights, added a scope mount and a bent bolt handle. It turned out to be a very good shooter, very good accuracy.98300

Yes, I understand how neck tension is affects bullet pull. I guess that I should change my question. Will I notice increased accuracy if I switch from my lee flaring die to a M die? Is it worth the...

That looks like a Finncub. There were importers in the 60's that were cutting up Mosins and calling them a "Finncub".

Has anyone ever done any accuracy comparisons between the Lyman M die for expanding vs case mouth flaring? Should I expect any accuracy improvements if I switch to an M die from my Lee expander?

I have a 340 in 30-30. I have never been able to get it to shoot any better than 4 or 5" groups at 100 yards, cast or jacketed. I think that part of the problem is the barrel mounted rear sight. I...

It is well known that a lot of the common cast boolit quality problems, (wrinkles, poor fill out, boolits sticking in mold, etc.) can be eliminated by increasing the temperature of the alloy and in...

If you can find a bolt, receiver etc., Rhineland arms has a "no gunsmith" .308 barrel. I do not have any personal experience with it but I have been thinking about getting one myself. I will try to...

I had a 30-06 case get badly stuck in a resizing die with the rim ripped off. I drilled and taped the case for a 1/4x28 and tried using a bolt to pull it out. It was so stuck that the newly tapped...

I had a very successful deer hunt this year. I harvested a nice 6 point in archery season and a nice sized doe with a rifle this week. I am cleaning up my hunting gear and putting everything away...
