I know nothing of what the actual process is. What supplies do you need to make these bullets? What the heck is a threaded ram? I could really use my Lee Challenger press to make these?

But its a bit odd. I have a Win95 factory chambered in 7.62X54R. According to the serial number it was made in 1916.
Too bad Bubba got to it before I did. He put that useless tang sight on. You...

I almost sold my Winchester 95 in 7.62X54R when I see what one can bring, but so far I have resisted.

I have no idea what sight it is. It came with the rifle.

Yes, but no room! I have a smaller bench and it's already too full.

I got some on sale for $60, and am loading up some 115 grain 9mm's with it. But weather forecasts look pretty grim, may be a while before I can see how they do.

By my last count I have 7 Finn Mosin Nagants. Still looking for that elusive P-26.
Forum: Military Rifles
My last count, I am up to 42 C&R guns. I have owned others, but sold some to acquire rarer models.
My C&R license, which I have renewed once has cost me $60 so far. I have saved well over 1000...

I've used 13 grains of Red Dot and a 150 grain powder coated gas checked cast .313" sized bullet for 7.62X54R Mosin Nagants as a shoulder saver load. It 50 yards the were hitting about 1 and 1/2"...

A few more Mosins, I'm up to 17. Also picked up a Spanish 1916 Mauser converted to .308 Win.

Nope Winchester had a contract with Russia for these for WW I before the Red Revolution. After the revolution Russia defaulted on the payments so Winchester had quite a few stockpiled. Mine was...

Hmmm, I use a 150 grain cast bullet with aluminum gas checks with the same 13 grains of Red Dot. The only difference is it is about 1/2-1" lower than a regular 150 grain FMJBT jacketed bullet. I...
Only problem is the gas seal system doesn't work with 32-20 converted brass. You go from no cylinder gap flash to a lot of it, possibly affecting accuracy and for sure affecting velocity. I have been...

Probably 95% of mine. I have a Redding taper crimp die for 357 SIG, but the dies are Lee. I have a Hornady set for .223, but only because they were on sale for a ridiculous amount.
Don't know. I have both a Ruger Superblackhawk in .44 mag, and a Taurus Raging Bull in .454 Casull. Either works.

150 grain gas checked powder coated in a nickel plated .308 WIN case. Any Raiders fans around?

What's up with Ammobrasstrader right now? I haven't been able to log on all week. All I get is a blank white page.
S&B is notoriously tight with my 7.62X54R. But so is my Winchester, which I think is really S&B with a Winchester headstamp. I also have a couple Leee Enfields in .303 Brit. One gun has case...

Yep. I toss them. Just too hard to decap Berdan Primers. And for too long you couldn't even get Berdan primers hardly. Every once in a while I would see some for outrageous prices on Gunbroker. Now...

Holy ****! My Swiss rifle from SAMCO was MUCH cheaper.
Forum: Leverguns
Yeah, apparently mine never made it to Russia. No Russian proof marks, no attachment to use stripper clips.
Forum: Leverguns
Oh, I have plenty of rifles......just only one lever gun. Had a Marlin 336 in the ubiquitous 30-30 years ago, sold it when I got a Savage 110 in .270.
