Howdy Folks-

For those who have dealt with NEI - I'm sure you already know.

For anyone who haven't dealt with NEI - I just wanted to let you know these folks customer service is awesome! (So...

Another wat to ensure proper venting.

I play with a fair number of moulds & have encountered the problem somewhat frequently. Once you have verified you are working with a clean mould and have...

I have very good luck with the NEI 257-75-GC in my Marling 1894CL. Sized .258 from AC WW it will shoot <1" at 50 yds w/receiver sights off the bags. I too have a preference for 2400; 7.7 grs giving...

Powder & primers are good... I converted mine into a FREE gun! The counter guys at Sportsman's Warehouse thought I was some kind of wiseguy as I would peruse the offerings and advise that I'd be in...

FWIW-

Marlin will rebarrel the gun for about $130 range.


Best regards-

Felix-

What is the downside of excess carnauba in the lube?


Thanks-

Sky C.

Limitation is the thickness of the wallet - usually way too thin!

Gentlemen-

Thanks for the feedback. As suspected, the .35 Remington with cast should nearly equal the velocities for the full length GC version bullets.

Glen - great article. Thanks for the...

Howdy guys-

My Sweetie (she's a keeper) fixed me up with an early father's day gift - a lovely Marlin 336 in .35 Remington!

Looking for load data I find pretty slim pickin's for CB loading...

Been waiting on this for at least 4 years now. Logged on today to check status and it's available to order.

Note: They decided to offer .38-55 brass in two lengths (short & long). Long is...

My understanding is that in the early years - the M-71's were not D&T for receiver sights. However when production restarted in 1946 (following WWII) they were.

Info above per G. Maddis...

If I recall correctly - the cowboy 1895 is not drilled and tapped from the factory for the side mount receiver sights.

However - the Williams WGRS receiver sight will mount on the top of the...

Marlin claims the barrel groove dimension is 0.378" to 0.379". They use "spade gauges" (similar to a pin gauge but flat material that will slip between the rifling lands) to make their measurements....

I had the same trouble with a couple boxes of .375 GC's a couple years ago. A call to Hornady resulted in a quick replacement.

Best regards-

For some reason - I must have ended up with an oddball mould. My LY 429215 casts a boolit weighing close to 240gr. in WW. Do any of them actually cast anywhere close to the 215gr. mark?

Thanks-...

Gentlemen-

Thanks for the feedback.


fecmech, Beau, & Ron-

Can you advise as to what size bullets you were shooting and estimated velocity.

Gentlemen-

I am considering the purchase of a Kahr in 40 Smith but note that they (& Glock, H&K, IMI) use the Polygonal type rifling.

Can anyone advise about results for cast using this type...

Gentlemen-

I've been trying tumble lube lately in hopes of speeding up my loading operations - especially for pistol ammo. Not having to handle bullets individually for lubing & affixing GCs...

Gentlemen-

For quite a while I have been collecting the contact information for people/companies that product moulds. Below is that listing for your information. If you're aware of others that...

Gentlemen-

The bore condition issue is one where I KNOW I have introduced variability. Seems I've liked to play with a variety of cleaners and probably haven't cleaned the bore the same way twice...

Gentlemen-

Thank you once again for your assist with this.

-44MAN: The slower powder route is one I'll explore downstream when building a full-up kind of load. My experience so far with the...

1 part hair of cat (still attached to cat), 4 parts eye of newt, 2 toenails from a weasel... Naw... but -


I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!

OK... So last week I reported on the dismal performance of...

Gentlemen-

Thanks again for all the excellent feedback and suggestions. I will start trying to work my way through these step at a time - easiest solutions first of course.

"Old Vic" - PM...

Gentlemen-

As usual - good insights from this group. Thanks for your input.

Further info:
The boolits are cast from ACWW. BHN should be in the 11-12 range based on other boolits cast from...

Howdy Bukcs Owin-

Good thought - but the Rugers dimensions are:

Slugged Bore: .4509" Cylinder throats: S+1 = .4512", S+2 = .4509", S+3 = .4509", S+4 = .4510", S+5 = .4511", S+6 = .4512"
