Heres a side shot. Mystery round - 8mm Mauser - 30’06318719

I’ve got a bag of this brass that was sold to me as 8mm Mauser, but it is definitely larger than that. The case is larger than 8mm and 308, smaller than 30-06, and has a .30cal mouth. The base is...

I also have astigmatism and red dots look like red jellybeans. I like the Skinner peep on my R92
I have a Gen 3 Glock 23 with a 9mm Alpha Wolf barrel. (They no longer sell the less expensive Lone Wolf model). It works great and I'm even using the .40 mags. One caveat: the chamber is very...

I cast a 316299 PB and size down to .315 after powdercoating. Still playing with powder but having good results with 18ish grains of 2400. Not using a GC but still accurate and easy enough on the...
It's clearly haunted. Send it to me for proper cleansing.

I have had great success on small batches using the Harbor Freight rock tumbler and pins from ebay. For larger batches I use the Frankford Arsenal tumbler

If you want to try the Lee 175 TL mold I have a 6 cavity that I was about to put in the PIF thread. It has some gouges on the top under the plate and throws a bullet or two with a bit of finning on...

I found a couple of these copper bbq mats at Ross for $6 a set. Cut to fit, and they are great.

I like a 140gr bullet Over 32gr of 3031 in mine. Consistently rings the steel plate at 300 yds yet is surprisingly mild to shoot

Sounds to me like you should cancel your order and just make do with whatever process you had before the whole Lee vs AR-Bossman debacle began. They've definitely got it out for you and it sounds...

My son and I picked up a wrist cracked, all matching Gewehr 88, with numbered stock that just had to be saved. We carefully spread the crack, cleaned with acetone in a syringe, drilled small dowel...

I'll second this. I have a Gen1 Contender (a little harder to open but you get used to it) and I HAD a .44mag barrel for it. Even though it was well ported and had a nice Pachmayr grip, it was...

My local shop only carries Goex or OE, and I much prefer OE in the Trapdoor and the C&B revolvers. I find it much cleaner

I just shot my TD this week with that bullet over 25gr of 5744 and found it to be very accurate at 100yds. I must say that I greatly preferred a duplex load of 2F over 5744. Get the book mentioned...
