i took care of the headspace problem today, I only sized new cases to the point that they would chamber and the bolt would close, the fired cases looked good. I increased the powder load to 13.2...

Good Idea, I had not thought of excessive headspace. I'll measure tomorow and let you know.

I took the 6.5x53.5 Daudeteau to the range yesterday after and it was real UGLY!! I only fired six rounds with the following UGLY results.
1. Accuracy was UGLY. Only 50 yards but still UGLY!!
2....

I decided to take out some of the old stuff and will start with the 6.5x53.5R Daudeteau built on a M-71 Mauser action This action is 145 years old so I do respect it's age. Hence, I generally short...

To answer the original OP question, I received my draft notice in June of '67, right out of high school. When I went for my physical I passed the Navy office in the same building and stopped to look...

380 pocket pistol in a pocket holster

i wish!!!

$2.50 in 1970 is equal to $16.33 today. It would still be a deal!

Wolf, that is the main reason I inventoried everything just so I know what I have. I have a lot twofers because I could neither find what I needed or more likely I forgot I had it. If this stay at...

I've done just about everything I've needed to do except for a couple of "Honey Dos" that require me to crawl under the sink. However at 72 I have been reloading since I was 16 when my Dad bought me...

It’s nice to have a nice wife. Happy Birthday!!

After I turn the belt off I anneal the neck and shoulder. After the cases are dried I run the case through the sizer first to establish a shoulder then prime, charge with bullseye (my choice) but any...

I give my guns a simple cleaning after each use. I run a Hoppe's patch through the bore first to get all the crud out. I then let the soaked barrel sit there for half an hour or so for the Hoppe's...

I make 43 Mauser cases from 300 Winchester mag cases. If you don’t have a lathe you can just use a power drill and file. It works, just takes Longer. I do have a lathe and I use a three jaw chuck and...

44-40 brass is around the mouth is very thin, I lube mine and resize them slowly if that makes sense. They are easy to damage just go slow and you'll be fine. Also, be sure to bell the case just...

Well then, keeping in the sprite of the Hepburn Rifle and the shorter range of 50 to 200 yard, How about the 38-40 Rmington-Hepburn, 38-40 WCF or 44-40 WCF. All fun rounds. I do like the classic...

How about the 40/50 SBN or 40/50 straight. The brass is easy to make for either. Cut down 45/70 for the 40/50 SBN AND 30/40 Krag or 303 British for the 40/50 straight. I have an original Remington RB...

About 40 years ago while Working in a tropical paradise near Australia I had an opportunity to attend a feast with a local tribe. To this day I am not sure what I ate except the meat dish. I was...

They are both fun guns to shoot however, the recoil on 577/450 will rattle you teeth. Steve

Not bad!! 25 yards and short barrel. Wish I could do that well.

Age takes its toll!! I’m talking about me.

I used a couple of boxes last year with grandson #1, oldest one, just plinking and they functioned fine. Can’t speak to the accuracy aspect but we were hitting coke cans at 20 to 30 yards. I didn’t...

I shared pictures of the reloading benches some of you have with my wife. She said nothing but gave me “the look”. Guess I need to pick my battles.

My Swede RB has a clean bore and I get the same reading, .323. what load data are you planing to use? Thanks, Steve
