Definitely nothing below to put a lock ring on. I should have waited to trim the threads back until I tried everything out.
I think that's got it!
I used an older Lyman .30 Carbine sizing die and took .3" off the bottom of the die. Running the Starline 7.65 French brass into the shortened sizing die yields an outside...
I did slug it. I measured .3010" bore and .3080" - .3085" groove diameter.
I am shooting the 1935s. It is a decent little pistol, but I would agree that the 1935A is nicer. That said, I got the 1935s from a friend a few years back. He inherited it but is really only...
ascast, that is a good suggestion and actually one of the first things I tried. I don't have a big selection of 310 dies, but I do have a 30 Carbine set as well as a press adapter. I tried using...
Nice, I was not aware that someone made a die set for this cartridge. It's currently 75 bucks which is a bit more reasonable than the RCBS/CH4D offerings.
I appreciate the replys on this...
I've been trying my hand at reloading this unique little cartridge. I've had decent results reloading and shooting cast RN bullets. The cast bullets are sized .313". I really want to see what the...
That's good price on a new Labradar. They usually only go on sale once or twice a year.
I've noticed a lot of Labradar's being sold on the secondary market lately. I'm wondering if people are...

I agree with ascast, without any tooling or other components, it's definitely not worth that. The tooling can be found with some effort, but even then is often missing components and parts. Also,...

Geez, don't get me started on powder and component pricing. I'll just say that some of the Shooters World powders currently aren't the bargain they were. Their pricing on a few of their products...

I've got a Toshiba I'm happy with. I move it back and forth between the basement and garage. I've got a 3 car garage that it has no problems keeping comfortable and dry. I've had it less than a...

I have the Lee 32acp die set and it works okay for 32 Long and 327 Mag. The sizing die works good. The expander and seater work okay depending on the bullet. The expander doesn't open up the die...
I have more or less the minimum - swapping handles onto the mold I am currently casting with. For me it's a matter of practicality. With around a hundred molds, having handles for each of them...

I tried them a couple years back and my results were awful. I tried loads using both 2400 and W-296 at a variety of velocities. I had tumbling bullets at 100yds and patterns, not groups. That...
I like my .32 (and .30) pistols. I've got the following 30/32 cal pistols in my stable.
.32 ACP - Colt 1903
.32 S&W Long - Hammerli 280 target pistol
.327 Fed - Taurus Revolver
7.65 French...

I've got my toolheads on a lazy suzan that added some toolhead stands to. I cover the whole thing with a trimmed down pillow case. Who am I kidding? I have a trimmed down pillow case for it, but...

I learned the basics from my grandfather when I was a teenager. A few years later, I was old enough to buy my own firearms and reloading allowed me to shoot more and also shoot some less common...

I too am slowly getting away from Alliant powders. While other manufacturers are getting product back on the shelves, Alliant is still extremely hard to come by. Shame, because I've got a lot of...

The Last of the Mohicans remake, circa 1992 is preferable to the original. It's extra fancy, got sound and everything. The original, silent film, from 1920 is available on Amazon Prime.

I'd say that no, there isn't much of an alternative site to replace YouTube. The amount of content they have can't be touched by any other site. While I personally don't care for their policies and...

For the small arms ammo case, I assume you are talking about the one designed to hold three 30rd AR mags and with the grenade pouches on the side. If so, those two nylon dividers were often cut on...

I have not used it for cast bullets, but for jacketed in .223 I have had great results from it. I haven't seen any available since the start of this current component drought. Next time I see some...

I noticed that on website. The only one I've used is 4955. It works okay in the few cartridges I tried it but I can live without.
