I can tell you that Hornady recommends only using cci #34 primers seated a certain distance below flush when loading for the 49/56(sorry I can’t remember if it was .002 or .005 or what) This is due...

This is a little bit late, but maybe it’ll help anyway.

I have converted .222 and .223/5.56mm to 5.45, and while it’s not ideal, it did give me shootable ammo. I know people who do load these...

If you happen to be in middle TN, I can help.

Almost forgot, if you do try to contact the ATF, they will likely not give you a straight answer. They usually just refer you to whatever the applicable regulations are and expect you to figure it...

Guys,

As far as federal laws(state laws vary considerably), You can build as many guns as you want for personal use. You can even sell them. What you aren’t supposed to do, is build firearms for...

They also have components.

If the chamber is damaged, you’re not SOL. Barrels for those aren’t exactly growing on trees, but you could save the barrel you have. I’m a gunsmith, and I “set back” barrels fairly regularly.

Hmmm…I’m glad I stumbled into this thread. I have a Hakim, and I was just thinking about loading for it the other day.

In my experience, the original 10rd was the best for the SKS. Every other mag out there, I’ve personally seen problems with.

The tapco mags were probably some of the better, BUT they will get...

I haven’t tried yet, but I’m very interested to hear the answer to this.

I just got a subscription recently. If you load oddball calibers, it’s definitely worth it in my opinion. The manufacturers don’t typically publish data for a lot of the old military calibers, for...

Perhaps I can shed a little light on the M16 rifling twist rate.

The first AR15s(before they were officially M16s), had a 1/14 twist. This was chosen simply because that was the commonly accepted...

The matches I’m shooting are using steel targets. The one at 600 is a silhouette. They sometimes have a bonus target that’s a little guy at about 625. But my goal is to reliably hit the 600 with a...

I sent him a message.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Since I shoot some 8mms, I’m going to have to find that 323471 mold. I wonder if NOE(or anyone else) does something similar?

What kind of alloy do you use? And what do you size the bullets to?

I have a Springfield and a 1917 that would work well.

Probably lubed and GCd. I haven’t yet gotten into PC or paper patching. I intend to try both at some point, just haven’t gotten to it yet.

I have a few molds:8mm Karabiner, 8mm Maximum,...

I have a Mauser 71/84, but I haven’t done any loading for it yet. I haven’t yet tweaked my case conversion to the point it’ll work. I also have a Beaumont. That one I have loaded some ammo that did...

Hi All,

I’m looking for ideas for a good 600 yd boolit load. They have these vintage military rifle shoots locally, and they go out to 600 yds, and I’d like to come up with a boolit load for...

Hi,

I need some help and I can’t seem to find where to ask. So I thought I’d try here.

I had an account here with the same screen name a little while back. Something happened, and it wouldn’t...
