Seems like I remember some Italian 6.5mm ammo loaded with Cordite.

I shoot mostly heavier bullets in my 10mm. I've used most of the powders discussed above; have settled on Blue Dot, Vectan AO, VV 3N37, & Silhoutte.

I found it's easier to accumulate unused pistol powders than rifle. Because pistol charges are so much smaller. When new pistol powders have come along, I've bought them to try out. And they never...

"Location of cannelure groove" as mentioned above. Since I shoot this type of bullet in gas guns (crimped bullet), this lot variation in some of the pull-down bullets drives me nuts. Not only in...

Very nice looking converted rifle. I do not rue the loss of the fugly original forward stock fittings.

I've owned the military original versions in three waves in my lifetime. Actually, in the...

I wondered why that country could ship things so cheaply this direction. It has to do with old agreements set up under the Universal Postal Union. Long ago it was decided that poor countries would...

I have quite a few different pistol powders. However, I seem to use 231 more than any other single number. Powder for reduced charges in rifle, my favorite is SR 4759 and unfortunately it's no...

Two year bump. I was able to get out and chrono a load using Vihtavuori N32C, labeled "Tin Star." In the same class as Trail Boss. No data for Win. 73, I fired these in my Ruger Vaquero .38-40...

The manufacturers of primers cannot ramp up production with their existing facilities. Primers are the most sensitive and critical component of a cartridge. The manufacturers cannot speed up how...

I've looked through the many previous posts at various reloading outfits and it's all very interesting. Of them all, my personal favorite is the one posted by Rugerdude. Of course, every one is...

My reloading equipment is a mix of mostly RCBS and Lee, with a bit of Hornady and Lyman thrown in. About half of my dies are Lee. They are a less expensive alternative to RCBS and other brands, and...

Lee makes a .329 bullet mold in 205 gr. for the Austrian 8x56R; it's the typical long RN lead bullet for military-type rifles. Hornady makes a 205 gr. jacketed spitzer bullet for the same...

Thought I would pass along some cast bullet data so as to help someone else interested in the same for 8x56R Austrian.

Rifle used was one of the typical recent Steyr-Mannlicher Model 1895 imports...

Buckshot:

What I have are some hard-cast lead bullets made up locally in Oregon. I have seen the jacketed Graf's (Hornady?) .330 bullets advertised for the 8mm Lebel and was thinking of trying...

I would like to make a plinking load for 8x56R Austrian military using some 115 grain hard-cast lead bullets sized .330 (originally intended for 8mm Lebel revolver). No gas check.

My target...

I have thought about this before a bit. This was caused by reading somewhere that you should "never carry ammo in your vehicle for prolonged periods" because the vibration breaks down the chemical...
