Having both new and old models, I find pleasure in both of them. I'd never sell my old models (one .357 I had since I was 17,now 60).The new models are easier to work on for me and easily as sturdy...

I've got lyman and rcbs handles for double moulds and thought I'd never need more production than what a double mould could give.Well,,,, that's changed and now I'm looking at a saeco 4 cav. mould...
I have been using alot of Kroil lately on revolvers especially for removing fouling in the bores.Works pretty good getting the carbon etc. out of the cylinders. I thought about getting a nickel...
I do a lot of coyote calling with the occational bobcat thrown in with my revolvers.I usually use a 357 om blackhawk and it has enough power with cast swc bullets. It's light enough being an old...
Has anyone here had any luck with saeco moulds in .32 h&r mag? I like the look of the 100 gr. swc , nice wide nose.. Also ,I have double handles in lyman and rcbs, will they work with a double...

Birdadly, I know you mentioned reloading for your Mosin but you can get mil. surplus ammo for 5.oo a box of 20 or less if you shop around and buy in bulk. That's pretty darn reasonable. It's steel...

I too am wanting to do the forward mounted scope but don't feel like spending more on the scope than the rifle. Too, my rifle isn't the tack driver that yours probably is.I'd like to have something...

Guys, I'm almost 60 and just recently became enamored (thats love for most of us) with the older mil. rifles. Ya they were there all the time but I passed them by for the newer models that were in...

Guys, do you think it would be safe to switch a 150 gr. bullet from a man. like Hornady for a 147 or 149 gr. fmj in military cases for hunting? I think after breaking laquer seal , I could use a...
Forum: Military Rifles
Guys , I'm considering getting a Mosin Nagant and have several questions. I'm wondering if you guys reload for yours and if components like brass are available. I don't mind taking the crimp out of...

I enjoy the online magazine Gunblast and think Jeff does a great job testing and telling about the things we both like. His you- tube videos are just as good and thats what I'm posting about. Saw his...
Beeman that's a great informative article showing that you can get some great results from a pretty affordable piece. Is that your article? Whether or not you did ,I feel I'm in the presence of some...

Sir, you mentioned about using a lap from some company I'm not familiar with.Could you give me some particulars such as what kind of lap . diameter, speed to run it, means of lubrication and anything...
Can I use Kroil as a lube for cutting if I do it by hand. I have a drill press so should I put my T handle on chuck and turn by hand or what is the proper way?Thanks , Glen
After thinking about cylinder throats and whether or not to get a reamer , I think I' ll go ahead and spend the money and do it right . Got several other revolvers that probably could use some...
Guys, I opened up the cyl. throats of an old mod. Ruger 357 with a dowel and 400 grit wet or dry paper so I could just push my .358 cast bullets through. Barrel measured .357 or . 3575. I found a...
Try a little aperture on your glasses. Merritt makes a stick on or just use a piece of masking type tape with a small hole in it 1/16 in. or so. Your sights will look like your a kid again.It works....
