The first thing I thought about trying worked: JB Non-Embedding Compound. It takes time but works and doesn't leave any scour or burnishing marks.

Unfortuneayely for the next few weeks I can't for logistical reasons. The "lead" actually appears to be more like slag/carbon.

I've just a nice tight, sharp NEI used NEI mould that has what appears to be traces of dirty lead in one of the cavities and in several areas of both faces. I've removed what I could with solvent and...

Has anybody tried the Lyman 311407 Pope mold in a Schmidt Rubin 1911 as it was intended to be loaded in a .30-06 (i.e. finger seated in a fired case)?

Thanks for the responses. Although the seller identifies the mould as being an "H. James" I'm not convinced he was the maker as I can't find any reference to a custom manufacturer (online). The name...

Anybody have any experience with the old 7 hole Texan presses? Are they primarily for pistol or are they stout/large enough for rifle work?

Anybody know what the dimensions of the removable die bushing is on the Hollywood single stage press are? I know these were threaded for Hollywood's shotgun dies but I don't know if these have the...

Out of curiosity can anybody clarify the lineage of the various Rock Chucker standard models (exluding the JR and the Mk1V Supreme ? In other words what makes a RC a RC and not a RCII? I'd also like...

I have to admit I poo-pooed the Lee Breech Block when I first saw it advertsied a year ago. I couldn't understand why Lee would introduce such an item when it had such a great product in the Lee...

"The Wandering Zero" was really only a concern of The Crown's Armourer's in parts of the Commonwealth and those with an interest, vested or not, in killing the gun. It's a fine gun with built in...

[SIZE="4""]Whiting" is nothing nore than Sodium Carbonate. Go to you local paint or garden center ad you should be able to find some. It's dirt cheap to and nowhere near expensive as Brownell's. I've...

The "Wardering Zero" of the No5 MkI is once of the most repeated "factual" statements " in the milsurp collecting world. Most who see a No5 think to themseleves..."that's a Jungle carbine which has a...

Actually turning a new .303 barrel could save you some coin. A barrel made with a chamber reamer built to SAAMI specs would alleviate the problem of shortened case life caused by oversized military...

Absolutey! If you can find a nice, original 1950 Longbranch for $250.00 BUY IT! Knowledgeable buyers pay a premium for a 1950 LB. A straight off the line line 1950 LB is arguably the nicest example...

I'm a proud owner of a DCRA #4 chabered in 7.62 NATO and am about to aquire another. The DCRA rifle is an amazing piece of kit and a real tack driver with jacketed or cast. Although mine is kitted...

I use an RCBS 270 cal mould and sized down to 271 in mine. The Lee offering beat the Lyman Loverin hands down but none came close to the RCBS when loaded over 11 gr.s of Unique.

A friend of mine just acquired a nice 1886 and is looking around for a case trimmer that will readily accept the oversize rim diameter. The Lyman Universal is to small as are the standard models from...

I've gone two routes with my Lebel neck sizing dies. I've purchased a Lee special order (for a"N" chambered rifle" and had CH make me a conventional model for my standard chamber rifles. With the CH...

Original Austrian chambered Mannlihcers are like sugar coated crack to me and have been for years. I've owned/own examples of the 1886, 1888, 1890, 1895 in ORIGINAL chamberings and the bores are all...

The mainspring on the B&M can be a problem BUT IMO it's not really necessary. The following is a quote from a posting I replied to several weeks ago on the Reloading equipment Forum:

(BTW: Buffalo...

I had the same problem a few years go. I eliminated static and dirt from the equation and tried several technique variations with not much success. A friend suggested I use a reloadng press as a...

Well done! If you're going to have only one '98 why not make it a real one!

The Lee is indeed a good mold for these rifles. However I've found the Lyman 323470 to be even better due to the Gew...

The 98 Muaser was manufactured by so many firms and state arsenals one would need to know exactly what kind of 98 are we talking about as there are significant internal dimensional differences that...

Satan can be useful at times. By all means get a Belding and Mull powder measure even if you have to make a deal with the Devil (or have him broker it!). I have three B&Ms and several drop tubes. I...

I forgot to mention the manner in which I load these rifles. I essentially use the Mannlicher charger like a SLED on a Garand i.e. One round up the pipe at a time. Bullets are almost always seated...
