I shot a Winchester Crazyhorse commemorative for a number of years. I really enjoyed that rifle. It slugged .379 and shot the Beartooth bullets very well. Only managed to kill a few groundhogs with...

I have one in 7x57. Was a pig until I installed a Hicks Accurizer. It will now shoot 3 in a 7/8” group at 100 yds using a warm load of RE 22 and hornady 175 round nose. Neck of chamber is off on...

There were also two state arsenals that produced M-39 rifles. Just not that many.

I used to shoot cast 115 grainers out of it and used data from the old Lyman cast manual for 38 acp. Have not shot mine in 10 years through.

My Lyman mould works great for 32 ACP. I load it for one Mauser and two berettas

Wait it out and buy a Forster. Money well spent.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Sounds like you should be shopping for a savage long action rather than a 98 Mauser. If you just want a scoped, cast bullet gun, destroying a nice 98 is going to end in something less accurate...

Two separate issues. Ban would take effect upon publication in CFR. The mistake in the ATF publication has no bearing on anything.
I had the same problem, but S&W re barreled free of charge.

You gotta cast sub 230 grainers pretty hard for the most part to get them to work in a 45acp revolver. I can only get water quenched wheel weights to shoot in mine, but they shoot well.
Forum: Military Rifles
Those sights are hard for everyone to see until they get used to them. They are different but can be very accurate if you put in the time. Maybe give it a couple hundred rounds as is. You might pick...

I have a tin of WWII era Soviet 7.62x54r ammo that gave it necks and very difficult extraction. Only fired about 4 rounds. I need to pull some rounds and see what the powder and bullets look like.
Forum: Military Rifles
2520 is good, but don't expect spectacular results with heavier bullets. I was trying to make that powder work with 75 grainers and did not have very good results. With the heavies, move toward...

I cannot get TL boolits to work in 9mm. I gave up and shoot the lee 120 TC. Think it is a 120. Just Alox and size .358 and charge with 4.2 hrs HP-38. Shoots well out of my CZ-75. Non of my sigs will...

The only Loverin style mould I shoot is a Lyman 160 grain 8mm. I must say it performs better than just about any other rifle mould I own. I switch up between pan lube and Alox. The only difference I....

1. Sighting in/ working up a full-tilt load in a Ruger 77 RSM 458 Lott. Settled on a load of DP-74 that gave about 2320 fps with a 500 grain Hornady for hunting trip. I kept scabs on my face that...
