I have been fighting the encroaching various illnesses that come with aging and I was diagnosed with what they call a "parkinsonism" it's not parkinson's as most would think, but it is under the...

We haven't gotten any storm bands as of yet, but they are coming tonight and tomorrow things will be more storm like. I am...

It is exactly that. I have throated a gob of those SA barrels, typically they look like the one on the left in this photo, no freebore to speak of, and only .451" to boot if they have any at all,...

AFAIK none of the newer (1990 to present) SA 1911s have enough throat to suit loading a .452" with any of the boolit more than just a smidge proud of the case mouth. What tiny bit of freebore, if...

Pin gages in .0005" increments will tell you a LOT about chambers as well as throats. If a .357 cylinder throat has to or needs to go to .360" I make SURE to pin out the chamber up to the chamfer. ...

I sold the load master and bought the Lee Classic Cast 4 holer. Much better built, I hand prime off press b/c none of the Lee press mounted auto priming systems have ever been foolproof, some of...

Just use one of the free photo posting sites, I think you can crop, resize etc once photo is uploaded, then you can use the url for posting here.

Don't use a discarded laptop if it is a dinosaur. Don't saddle yourself with something that will run slow even in linux. Buy a halfway decent used laptop $200 or under and load it...

I took the hump out of my M77 stock, free floating the barrel, O boy it did NOT like that.

When I got this rifle, it was shooting grapefruit size groups at 50y. Ugh.

The process to tame it and...

The M77 isn't really bedded, there is a lump at the end of the forend that is supposed to provide upward pressure, which it does, mostly, but there's nothing that will assure the barrel rests at the...

I am a super glue whizzard and I never heard of gluing over a splinter and removing the splinter when you peel off the superglue!! That's a GREAT idea!

When I was hunting I would always take...

Jeez! DO NOT hit it with a wire wheel, sandpaper, any mechanical means! PLEASE google how to restore cast iron PROPERLY!

I have read almost NO advice in this thread written by someone who...

You need the barrel throated, lengthen the freebore ahead of the chamber, only prob is that's a salt bath hardened barrel and I don't throat those, can only be throated with a carbide reamer.

ALL...

I throttled back the 45 Colt by using 45 Schofield brass. I still get high load density with H110, which is what H110 likes and works best with, I just get less recoil, with less pressure generated....

You could/should call Ruger and show them those photos see if they will take it in and fix it. It's a QC issue they may or may not address but if they are going to do it, DON'T do anything on your...

That's a shallow angle like 5 degrees. You need the cutter that matches that degree to do any cleanup. 11 degrees will only widen the part at the fire ring it won't clean up any of those tool marks...

11 degrees will only address the first bit of the existing cone, and you got this longer section of 5 degree cone in front of that 11 degree part. If you rent a forcing cone cuter kit, they...

If it isn't readily accessible, it's likely I won't use them much. Putting them front and center like this gives me a reference as to how close throats are, I can usually get them within .0015" and...

Thanks for this post. I was able to find on there where RW Grip Frames had cylinder technical dimensions for multiple calibers, all on the large frame cylinders, C to C of the cylinder to the circle...

Nosir, all I need is center to center. According to your drawing, the chambers are on a 1.25" circle which would make center of chambers to center of cylinder .625" What gun/model cylinder is this...

Would anyone have the mathematical center to center measurements of the chambers to the centerline of the cylinder for large frame and medium frame SA revolvers? They will be different. A technical...

You can order whatever diameter sizing die you want right from Lee cheap enough and quick enough too..

IT is exactly that! I can get pretty close with the Sunnen hone, usually within .0001" ~ .00015" just by the feel of the drag against the pin including the honing oil, that oil is a constant...

I like coffee with creamer simply because my throat and epiglottis area have been radiation damaged for many years, thin liquids like water or tea, even black coffee want to go down the wrong pipe. ...
