Signs of the times. I think that this is the worst drought that I have been through. Even worse than the 90's. And just when I am going to try and reload for something new.

When you are...

I am also setting up to reload for a 30-06 M1 and this is what I have learned (or at least my understanding) but no experience with. Some of this will pertain to the 308 M1 and some I am not sure...

Someone else started a thread about undersize dies. He purchased them used and not sure how old they were.

Here is some 6ga 10' leads. ...

There is not much to these AC buzz boxes. Mainly just a switch and a transformer with several taps on it. As others have said you should be able to find the plugs for the front at a welding shop...

As someone mentioned above I would contact Lyman before doing anything to them first. The worst they can say is no and then you are in the same boat as now. If they replace them you will be good to...

I am like the op in that I read a lot more than I post. I had to go and look at the # of posts that I have and before this one it is at 28 although I do have a lot more than the 30 days as a member....

As others have said I would first talk to RCCBS before doing anything. That being said I see you are in The Netherlands and that might be an issue.

Both still have powder in them.

Just saw this on another forum. https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-swap-meet/32-20-once-fired-brass/

Different safety also. It swings over the top of the back of the bolt instead of off to the side. The did at...

As I recall the butt plate on my prewar model 70 300 H&H was bakalite when I received it. Not sure if it was original and that was about 40 years ago. On my fathers pre 64 model 70 300 H&H it had a...

Made some more progress with making some reamers. I found the box that had my small torch in and was able to heat treat a couple of reamers for .243 and one more for .224. I was able to get them...

I have been a little slack on posting to this forum although I did do some post to the other forum. I received the barrel laps from McMaster Carr and used valve grinding compound to hone the center...

Thanks for the info. That is the spec I was shooting for. That is why I am starting with the body and will then machine and polish to fit.

I did read a couple of the stickies several times and have gone back to them a couple of times.

For the heat treating I plan to use my Oxyacetylene torch with a rosebud to a dull red and then give...

I am starting with the point forming die. I had already came to the conclusion that I have a start on the .243 point forming die and will be making another one for the 22 cal one.

On the core...

Thanks for the info on spring back.

The bor lap I have coming from McMaster Carr has a barrel length of 1.125" so should not have an issue with taper, I hope! ...

I am making a set of .223 swaging dies to use with 22lr case's with plans to also make a set of .243 dies. I do have some experience with casting but this will be the first time swaging bullets. I...

Are the 110gr RN bullets you have cast or jacketed? If cast I have some RCBS 30-180-fn bullets I cast I would trade you for.
