Welcome to the forum!
If your rifle has a 24” barrel it may be fairly quiet without a suppressor, especially if you use subsonic or target ammunition.
This is 112 ft lbs energy....

I’m starting to buy German made tools if I can’t get USA. I really like the Knipex pliers.
So are there any American made nail clippers?

Do you have any soft lead you can mix with your existing stash and try casting again after it’s diluted?

Performance may be similar but the pressure and breech thrust is too much for a Contender. The 7.62x39 would have to be loaded to a lower pressure because the body is larger diameter than 30-30. So...

I searched for micro disc on their site.

Does anyone have a Lee Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure Micro Disk they would be willing to part with? I’m aware they are discontinued through Lee. That’s why I’m asking here if a member has one they no...
If you wind up in Tennessee you’re welcome to try out mine. I’d be really tempted by a lever action 327 as well!
I’m not sure. I mainly loved the formula because I can measure shot cups and calculate the diameter that should fit before buying a mold. If the pellets cause pickle bumps bad enough, there will be...
Loud! Fun. Versatile when you consider all the shorter cartridges that work too. No regrets other than I wish I got a larger frame/longer barrel and seven shot model. It’s whitetail capable in my...

They look frosty to me. Better than wrinkles and poor fill out. Do you have more clues to what alloy you are using? Are they hard with a lot of antimony? Do they ting...

Talk about stink!
A dead snake stinks worse and sooner than other dead critters in my opinion. What a mess to have to clean up!!!
This discussion about getting the die to close further is part of a discussion about using the die for a cartridge different from what it was manufactured to work on.
Cheaper than having a custom...

I took a paper midway catalog to a widows yard sale years back. I offered 1/2 of then current new prices for used stuff. Helped her determine the value of some other stuff.

Would it work to grind open the gaps wider on a Factory Crimp Die to make it crimp deeper/smaller diameter?
Main thing I don’t like is the price tag. Next is factory rounds use 0.355” bullets instead of 0.357”
Weren’t the maximum revolvers discontinued because of all the commotion about top strap...

If I ever felt the need for using cast in 223, I would go to the Berger bullets website and play around with their stability calculator using the 1 in 9 twist rate for your example. I would select a...

Bullseye is pretty fast, but there are some faster powders used in 12 gauge.
Think you had some compression in the 9mm wasp load? Or less than the 38? I went back and read the first post for the...

Slug your bore is the standard answer around here.
I’ve been lucky with 0.001” over jacketed diameter.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
It’s expensive, but number two tungsten shot (18 gram per cc) is another option. The consensus is it performs like shot 4-5 sizes larger, so it won’t be quite to #4 buckshot effective, but there will...
