Here is a pic of all my Enfields, the No.I*** a NO.4 MkI and a No.I MkIII.188290
I shoot the MkIII quite a bit using a #314299 on top of 7-10grs. of red dot. Shot the No.I some and haven't shot the...

Bob must be right about the safety because I just tried and it don't work. It has the serial # marked out and a new one added

maybe redone in 1934? Also nice to meet you 54 thanks...
My first was a Lee 58cal minnie ball mold with the pin in the bottom. A very strange looking thing that was a real pain in the butt, but I still have many boxes of boolits I made from it.

I have another one, a No.I Mk.III (1908) that I bought a D-P stock and furniture for years ago, I would buy another for the No.I if I could find one

Thank you very much Der, I ran about 25 through a lee loader and I could tell a big difference in the amount of brass working. Neck sizing will be the way I go. My brass is Winchester and I mostly...

Anyone know where I might find the proper wood for this rifle? It has the volley sights, but a newer stock may be able to be inletted to fit them. Also would need the metal furniture. Need to be...

Are those neck sizing dies adjustable as to how small they
squeeze down the neck?

I was using a RCBS FL sizing die it has a .310 expander, but I have an 8mm I may turn down to about .313. Trying to get about 3/4 of the neck sized before it hits the shoulder. Does pretty good most...

I thought it was strange, I tried to neck size but it was sizing the case before half the neck got sized.I noticed a wrinkle on the second shot. How would I go about correcting the head space if its...

Hey guys, did my first berdan to boxer transformation. All went fairly well, I thought.187976
Shot 3 times and this happened.187978
Is this case head separation?

No comments yet,but I may have figured it out. I loaded a 314299 at 37grs. IMR4064. in my 303Brit after I had annealed the brass and it seemed to help blast the ring out. I think by neck sizing I...

Hey all, I have a question needing answered from someone more knowledgeable than me. I have been reloading short while now for a 303brit. I have noticed a concave ring at the base of the neck on my...

I am in the need of a good recipe of IMR4064 and a paper patched 314299 in a good (303-316)303brit with a little bit of a frosty bore. I am not sure to go high or low on the charge. 26gr. very seldom...

I added 3% tin to my pot and it seemed to make the fill a lot worse.I used pewter mugs in place of the tin. Has anyone had this problem?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Hello all, just wanting to try this and wondering can a 314299 cast boolit be powder coated and would it need to be stood up during baking.Seems like it would be very tough to keep it upright.
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
You are probably right n.h. My bore looks great except for being frosty and a little dark in the grooves. It does snag a patch a little bit and I see the white cloud after the shot. It does shoot...
I changed my mind about the refund and tried lapping it out. I used lapping compound from advanced, not sure of the grit size but it didn't seem to do much except at the part line. Maybe I'm doing...
What is the best source for tin, Larry? If I can get it I will try to cast a few more and see, but the boolits do seem to be .314 at the parting line and smaller at 90 degree around the radius.

I am not sizing the slug at all before wrapping, and am thinking that may be my problem
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
The wrapping is the same except for the number of wraps and the width of the strips if that makes sense. Because I've been wrapping to .313-316-.319 and different lengths up the nose just to try to...
Forum: Smokeless Paper Patching
What boolit are you using to size to .308? Is it a two diameter(nose & bands)boolit like my .309? What is your bore and groove on the 30-06 and how far up the nose do you wrap? Sorry for so many...
