Thanks all
It is a pound cast of the chamber and the case is full of lead so I doubt the shoulder has collapsed. The brass is Remington and is normal length. My issue is that I think it will take a...

Is this a normal amount of neck and throat for a Winchester 94 30-30? I measure 0.225 inches from front of casing to end of throat?

This was a common modification in the 30's. The 1 in 10 twist of the krag can be a challenge for attaining hunting velocities with accuracy, the 35 bore will produce lower pressures at similar...
JES has the barrel now. Geezer56 do you have any load data for the cartridge? I have found a little info on it but not much.
outpost75 thank you. I was thinking the same as you, should make a useful change.
This is a 1898 Krag it can not handle the 358 or the whelen. I have seen some of the posts re the 35 win, was just hoping for a little more information. Thanks.
Does anyone have experience with the 35-40 Krag in the Krag action? I have a 98 Sporter with a worn out bore and this seems like a viable option, but I can't find much data for it. I am looking for...

I have a reamer that I would like reground. Does anyone know a cast friendly reamer maker/regrinder? It is for 45 colt rifle.
Thanks

Thanks again. The questions revolves around an lbt mold that fits two guns,but the crimp length is different. Feral said to use the collet crimp and move on. I am new to it and wanted to see what...

Is a crimp groove necessary with a lever action 30-30 if you use a Lee crimp die?

waksupi,
Thank you,
It is a 45-70 with two lube grooves and a small space ahead of the gas check. I will try just one groove. The lube is about the same consistency as LBT blue. Even with...

Finished my first batch of Felix lube the other day. I think it came out well, but I am getting lube buggers at 50 yards. I don't know if I should add more lanolin or oil/soap blend. Can the gurus...

Cooked this up last night. It has 6 ounces castor oil, 12 ounces mineral oil and 1 TBS grated Ivory in it. My temps hit 350 a couple of times during the cooking, it was hard to regulate on my...
Does any one hear have experience with the accurate 45-325E? I am considering it for a Rossi 45LC and an old small Linebaugh in the same caliber. The two crimp grooves are appealing so I can seat...
I have a new .454 custom mold from LBT. It casts 1 thousandths over stamped size, but the gas check shank is too small to hold a Hornady check on after sizing. The check will spin on the bullet and...
