Duplex loading shoots MUCH cleaner than straight black. You can shoot all day without cleaning. This method was used by many, many of the old time riflemen in the 1890's and early 1900's. ...

+1 on waiting for a rifle length without barrel bands! better looks better balance better shooting! A cowboy in 44, 357, 327, and 38/55 would suit me.

Scottnc, congrats on the 336 conversion. I just had a Marlin 36 carbine rebarreled with a 24" 32 special 336 barrel and converted to a metal cap forearm. I retained the original parts, but I am...

My K-31 with an 8x Lyman scope likes the Lyman 311413 at 169 gr over 16.0 gr IMR 4227. Sized .309.
15 gr of Unique and a 300gr Lyman or RCBS is magic in my Marlin 95 or either of my Remington Rolling Blocks.

I am working on getting a pic of the right side to post. I need to get some iron sights installed, but Brownells is out of stock of the sizes i need right now.

Absolutely correct! No aging needed the sooner you process it and freeze it the better. good suggestions on using the loin and tenderloin. Grind the meat bundles that have tendons like the shanks,...

The Gould does very well with duplex loads and is a blast to shoot. I put 5 to 7 gr of 5744 in the case, enough FFG BP to result in about 1/10" compression when the bullet is seated. I use a card wad...

John, I would like to talk with you about this project if you are interested.

Not to worry about penetration at 1600 fs or less. It acts like a Nosler Partition. even if the nose is sheared off, the rear portion (240 grains or so) keeps penetrating like a 44 mag swc.

32-20 is made to order for what you want. I have and love a 30 Herret, but case forming is extra work. 327 Federal will fill the bill also and you can use carbide dies, something the 30 H and 300...

I have a bubba altered Marlin M-36 in 30-30 with a 20" bbl. I have a 24" NOS M-336 32 spl bbl I would like to have fitted to the M-36 action. Does anyone know of a Gunsmith who can do this work? My...

I shot an 8 pt Whitetail quartering on the point of the near shoulder with the Gould cast of 95/2.5/2.5. Bullet was recovered under the skin of the offside ham, flowered out like a hollyhock. That...

NOE makes 25 cal molds, watch ebay for older Lyman and RCBS molds. Forming brass from 30-30 is easy. an intermediate neck die say 270 or 7mm helps. Hornaday makes universal neck dies that work...
Try sizing your GC bullet .001 to .002 smaller and see what happens. Have you slugged your bore? I had to nose size bullets for my Ruger #1 due to a tight bore.

Check Lymans Cast Bullet Handbook #1. 16.0 2400 works well. Since the case capacities are very close, whatever worked in your 7.5x55 should give good results in the Springfield.

Why bother to crimp in this rifle? The only rifle loads i crimp are tube fed lever actions. I have never had a bullet move in a bolt or straight pull rifle.

Try the Lyman 311299 or the NOE clone. Shoots really well in my 1895 Winchester and my Krag sporter.
Forum: Military Rifles
A Forster Hollow Point kit will convert the 314299 into a devastating deer killer. no need for a new FP mould. They make the hollow pointer for use in the Forster trimmer or in a drill press. Works...
Try 6.0 to 7.5 2400 with the Lyman 311008. Also 3.5 231.
I don't have a 327 rifle, but my 32 H&R loves 7.5 2400 and the 115gr Lyman 31108. Velocity runs abt 1450fs and it shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yd. A grain or 2 more should work in the 327. Another...
