Actually, the idea behind the short-barreled loads is usually a matter of bullet constuction, although they are, of course, placed atop a charge of fast powder.

The speer GDHP 135gr short barrel...

I use the Lee TL-312-160 without the gas check over 7 grains of promo or red dot for gallery loads. Cheap as heck, and fine for 25 yard subsonic (or close to it) plinking. You have to adjust the...

One thing to bear in mind: This mold will produce boolits that will not load to the standard OAL in most load manuals. The OAL on the Alliant web site and for the Lee Manual would not chamber in my...

Couple of quick thoughts:

I love my 91/30. I use a combination of salvaged PRVI brass from HOTSHOT/WOLF GOLD ammo, and virgin PRVI brass from Grafs. It's basically the same stuff, and I've not...

Were those books he wrote BEFORE, or AFTER he went to Mecca and revisited his previous stance on race politics? Like Obama or not, there's a reason a lot of people look up to Malcolm X. I can't say...

The royalty rights of this book are no longer vested with the author. The current owner publishes it in order to help other people understand just how sick the white supremacists are. The proceeds...

Ed Harris used .308 jacketed bullets in .311 bores (mosin, enfield, arisaka) with fast powders (13 gr red dot), and reported that they were fine for plinkers and practice ammo. .307 in a .308 should...

Whoops, didn't notice he said SKS. The 13 grain red dot load would probably not be safe in that cartridge. The 7 grain load probably wouldn't cycle the action. I think Ed Harris did mention some...

I'm fond of both 7 grains and 13 grains of red dot/promo. I use the TL version. Works very nicely in my mosin. Now that I've got the sights replaced, these loads should give good groups.

That's what an old tire, a dirt berm, a safety shield (like a brick wall!) and a LONG length of twine is for.

A lot of those rifles were done assembley-line style at a soviet arsenal, for "re-arsenalizing". They were counter-bored, whether they needed it or not.

.314 is not unusual at all. .315 is not unheard of. .316 and up you are starting to get into (possible) lemon territory.

I've got a 43 Izhvsk that slugged at .312

Have you tried 13 to 15 grains of red dot (another Ed Harris load)? That'll get you up to maybe 1400fps in that bullet weight. If you're looking for more, try the reduced loads in the Lee manual...

I've had decent luck with the .312-TL-160-2R. (Same mold ricochet suggests).

Mine drops at about .312, maybe .313. Shoots just fine in my .312 91/30. I use air cooled wheel weights exclusively....

Isn't that what those schutzen shooters do? Fire from an unsized case?

Um, the 95/5 solder that most of us want is the 95% tin, 5% antimony solder. Copper can potentially foul bottom pour pots.

Home Depot and Lowe's are usually not the best places to get solder. I...

Thanks for pretty much confirming what I was thinking. This is the first time I've reloaded for an autoloader (I usually do wheel & bolt guns).

I don't have the weapon handy (It belongs to a...

OK, long story:

God .356 TC-TL-124 mold from LEE. It casts at .359 w/ AC WW. Bought a .356 sizer, and got .357 bullets out of it (GRRRRR....)

I've checked the Lee and Alliant websites for...

Yokosuka and Sasebo are on entirely different islands....about a 6-10 hour ride by bullet train and ferry.

Not likely you used the Sasebo range...

I'm assuming there's no way to take a .356 sizer that actually sizes to .357 and fix it to correct diameter....do I have to call Lee to replace it?

OK, complicated question:

I have the Lee TL-160-312 mold, and it drops about .312 with my alloy. The mosin I shoot it out of slugs at .312. I would prefer about .313 or .314, but I can get 2MOA...

Collet dies for 7.62x54R are a special order item from every manufacturer I've looked at. Expensive.

I'm thinking of investing in a Lee Perfect Powder Measure. The problem is that I only use red dot and promo. The flake powders won't meter accurately in a bushing-type measure, I know. Will they...

Lee manual for this product states that you shouldn't load small charges of flake powders with this device. I am curious about their perfect powder measure, however. Will start new threat for that.
