I like LilGun with 45 & 50 grain bullets out of my CZ. My chronograph data indicates the CCI500 SP primers give me the best/consistent velocities, and I've tried every US small pistol and small...

Not too old of a thread but to minimize slipping with the Sidewinder put a piece of 2X4 wood or another object 1.5 to 2 inches under the feet opposite of the drive shaft. Doing this puts more weight...

Has anyone else noticed the short length (2.009 and typo 2.104") of the Starline 375 Win brass on their website? My 1978 BB94 has a chamber that accepts brass 2.045" long and when loaded with the...

Hope there isn't anyone still holding their breath since 2015 or from March of this year! Seems that every new "wunder" cartridge that appears from around the corner takes priority ... and creates a...

Back in 1991 after coming back from the first deployment to Iraq a crew chief in my unit received his dad's ole pre-64 model 88 in .308 and the stock was broken in two locations. Being an amateur...

Request was sent in to Starline some time ago ... reason I'm not holding my breath but keeping my fingers crossed!

After Alamogunr's reply I went back and checked more of my 375 Win brass and sure enough the "thin" side of the brass was .0110" and the thick side was .0124". I had some time at the reloading bench...

I bought 300 375 Win cases around 96 and am still using only the first 100 when I shoot the Hornady 220 bullets. I really like the quality of those old cases!

My BB94 cannot use Win 375 brass with any bullet over .377 diameter. My chamber neck is .403", throat is .380" and bore is .377". This rifle was made in 1978 so it has the large 38-55 style throat...
I've used Longshot, 231, AA5, Titegroup, Unique and WSF and my favorite is WSF. WSF doesn't give the highest velocity or the biggest flame/flash out of the muzzle but it produces the best accuracy...

I bought my BB94 early in 79 (BB0029XX) and I'm shooting a LBT 380-225 LFN GC really well. I'd like a heavier bullet like the 379-279 and was wondering how that is working out for the members that...

Yup, he had a 360-156 HP. Only waited two weeks for reply but it is certainly worth it!
:) Now waiting for the next gem ... 429244!

Hopefully I don't have to wait too long for another run on the 358-156 HP!
My 629 Classic Hunter is .434". Had to get a custom lubrisizer from Buffalo Arms Co.

I'd buy about $40 of the ingots, about 1 box worth.

:-P Yipee, didn't expect to see a predicted close date ... so soon. Looks like this mould will be my birthday gift this year!
#95, my information is still valid. Thanks!

Thanks for the HCL tip. What gas is bubbling up, pretty sure I'll be standing upwind!
Figured it out - ZN + 2 HCl = ZNCl2 + H2. Good ole Hydrogen gas, zinc chloride stays in liquid state.

My dad gave me 80 lbs. of lead, some are deep sea fishing weights and the rest are ingots cast in a Saeco mold. Since my Dad never smelted or cast anything he must have gotten the lead from a...

Very good velocity and small ES with that load. Funny, my Ruger Old Army cap & ball does not like shooting off a rest (wrist support) but prefers free recoil similar to a sitting position with...

I'm #95 on this list and I am cancelling my request as well due to an unexpected surgery. Maybe a US mould maker could pick up this buy and we can leave our dollars in America. Could luck to you...
That 375449 is probably what I'm looking for my BB 94 375. I'm shooting LBT 380-225 GC sized at .379 but am looking for something nearer 280 grains. Just not thrilled with current Lyman quality,...
