    I have an idea that those are the ones I grew up with. But somehow I seem to remember high velocity? I remember my brother surprising me when he told me that the 22 had a higher velocity than the...

    That's a good question. I have heard some folks say not necessary but I use that tiny puff of Dacron for good measure. I often fire straight down and have my doubts about the powder lying down on...

    This has been an interesting thread. I have a key-holing rifle. It's a Lee Enfield two-groove with a rager large bore and probably a worn throat. With some loads it would shoot some bullets nose...

    I realize of course this post I am responding to is from April '21 but someone might be interested.

    I don't know whether I am doing the right thing or not but I use 35gr of H4895 and use a tiny amount of dacron just to hold the powder to the rear of the case for consistent ignition. I reason that...

    One problem is to get accurate and repeatable measurements. I can do a SOP for the hole expander which is where the measuring becomes a problem. Or a small change in design to facilitate quick...

    So what I didn't show was the slight boo boo on the expander pin. I only discovered it when I was posting the photos as they blow up the image. So I sneakily used a smaller image so no-one would...
