Just bought a weaver base for my Arisaka (#70 base). Is there a front and back to the base or do I install it anyway I feel like?

Maybe we should send all our zinc wheel weights to Gamo?
You are very lucky to have a family that understands you! Beautiful guns!

Cast Boolits web site. If you want to cast this is where I learnt how to do it. There is so much info here and so many friendly people.

I use the lee stuff and haven't looked farther into it. I'm happy enough with it.

Ok I hear you guys have tumblers that work. I have a Hornady (I think it is the M-1). Anyways the thing has never really polished brass all that well. It came filled to the top with corn cob media...

I agree! Sad to say but the only centerfire rifle cartridge rifles I presently own are 7.62*39 (sks), 7.5*55 swiss (k-11), .303 brit (#4), and a 7.7 jap (Arisaka). All I own are wall hangers :(. ...

700x sucks for metering but is great compared to 800x! I have switched to hs-6 for handgun now.
1) Lubricate the pins if you haven't done so.
2) Are you sure it not a Lee?
I think you're on to something here! Everyone needs a 280gr wadcutter for their sks :mrgreen:.
OK guys I just got a defective Lee mold and want to know what to do with it? The mold is the CTL312-160-2r so if anyone has experience please let me know. The symptoms ...

As stated above start on the bench and see what the load will do. If the accuracy is poor from the bench you need to change the load. Where I shoot we're not even allowed to shoot other than on the...

Here are some pics of Bubba 'goin to work on my Arisaka. Bubba allready did his duty before I got it so I decided to make it a turned down bolt. Work is still in progress. I made a new bolt handle...
You said it was for practical shotgun? IPSC? What ranges are you planning to shoot at? If you're under 30 yards accuracy won't be a problem.
It might work better. Maybe you can drill a hole down the center of the base and when you use the soft lead you will get a mechanical connection as well.

I usually keep my cast in a little brass case that leaves the tip exposed. It is readily disposed of by inserting into an appropriate chambered firearm and pushing the "GO" button. I find the...

I forgot to mention bubba has been to the wood allready. So I won't be hurting anything there. So at the prices mentioned I think I'll leave it as is if it'll shoot.

What exactly are the steps in replacing a barrel in a rifle? I bought an Arisaka in 7.7 and am thinking about maybe turning it into a 22-250. I figure case dimensions are close enough for it to...

Hope to soon. Waiting for the rifle to arrive. Planning to use my lee c312-185-1R and 4064.

Are you sure it's not .308 winchester? I had one like that and it had been converted to 7.62. Mine had a straight bolt.
