I have a late model JM 1895 with a 22" barrel and a 4X Leupold scope. The trigger pull was too heavy so a Wild West Happy Trigger was installed with the help of You Tube. Bolt in bolt out. Weight of...

I don't think anyone has mentioned this but do not ever get water even a drop into molten lead. A small explosion will result. In short you will be blessed by the tinsel fairy.

I had the same problem several years ago and the solution is fairly simple. In fact several posters have already hinted at it. You need three or four lever guns. Buy one at a time and when you get...

I have a No. 4 Mk 1 made by Long Branch in 1943. Paid $25.00 back in 68 and this was about $10.00 too much. There is a lot of good information on this tread and I can add a few minor points based on...

I am no expert on African hunting but was planning a safari until fate intervened but still have the Ruger Magnum Rifle in 416 Rigby (I couldn't afford a double). The reason I selected this caliber...

Before I spent that lind of money on a levergun I would see what Doug Turnbull has to offer. He has a good reputation and some of his stuff looks like the old special order Winchesters from around...

I am planning on getting a .223 with a 4 X 12 Leupold on it. The reason for the variable is that I like the field of view of my fixed 4 X' s and the fact that the front sight does not appear when...

David was on to the answer to the cost benefit question about reloading saving money.To add to his point how much would you spend on factory ammo if you shot as much as you do reloading?

I read somewhere that Lyman molds are designed to cast to the indicated size with their #2 alloy. You might want to check this out. If it were my mold I would get some linotype and cast a few and...

Lots of good information here. On You Tube check out Bullet Casting 101 by Iraqveteran 8888. Like some of the other guys here I started with really basic equipment and now can't afford to save any...

I use Lyman with the "M" die for my Marlin 45-70. In terms of molds if you have a Lee start with it and see what results you get. If you are not happy with that you can always go for one of the more...

I bought a Dillon 650 after reloading for about 20 years on a 550 as I wanted something with all the bells and whistles. Got it from a Dillon supplier up here in Canada. Since I wanted it for 38/357...

I have a Model 64 carbine made in the 1940' s. It is very similar to the 94 only wih a pistol grip, shortened magazine and nose cap. They also made a Deluxe 64 with a nose cap that would accept a...

If you are still looking for that pre war Winchester you might try Doug Turnbull Restorations. They might be able to fix you up with something suitable.

Have you slugged your barrel? I don't know about the Ross but apart from oversized chambers the Lee Enfield 303 had grove diameters ranging from the correct .311 to a high of .317. Also some of the...

I got an old Winchester 64 carbine built in the 1940s. After removing the semi buckhorn rear sight, installing a Williams Foolproof and making a brass plug for the dovetail slot I could suddenly hit...

I have one and use it for CAS from time to time. Only change I did was a taller front sight which the importer provided for free. Fit of the cresent shaped but plate was not perfect although...

I use both. Wheelweights get smelted and fluxed in a 20 lb. cast iron pot on a two burner Coleman stove then made into ingots.Keeps the garbage out of the bottom pour spout. The RCBS bottom pour is...

Why don't you see what Stevesgunz wants for a re-worked Rossi 92?

I been using an RCBS LAM2 for over 30 years.

One of the best safari articles I have ever read.

I was where you are at in the 1980s and bought a 550b to go with my RCBS Rockchucker. The Dillon has never had anything break on it. You have to adjust and clean it once in awhile but that is about...

I don't hesitate to pour with overflow and find I get better fill. Sometimes when the sprew plate screw gets loose on some of my moulds I get a bit of flashing on the boolit bases which is just the...

Most good quality dies will work but because I load almost exclusively cast boolits I bought Lyman with the mouth expanding "M" die. I believe RCBS Cowboy dies are similar.

Can't add much to the above postings except that it is not always necessary to size and you can hand lube. While I usually use an RCBS lubrasizer, my Lee 45/70 boolits come from the mold the correct...
