Awesome! That's a great build.

This sounds like an April Fools Joke. Are we sure the release date isn't 4/1/17? :-P

My guess is that Unequal is the new version of Unique.

The GSP, like most modern .22s, should not have the firing pin contact the chamber rim on dry fire. Alternately, you can buy a dry fire plug that fits in the chamber to allow dry fire. Some have...

It sounds like your trigger is adjusted for a "roll". Basically, a roll trigger is he opposite of a crisp, single stage trigger. The idea is that for a crisp, "glass rod" type trigger, you're...

Does your trigger pivot from the bottom, or the top? The bottom triggers are the older type, which are single stage. This is the manual for it: http://www.pilkguns.com/tenp/spwalgsp22o.htm

Looking a bit deeper, it appears that both rifles prefer speeds around 1400 fps. In the case of the .30-30, the smaller chamber meant that these velocities were achieved with a smaller...

That's great news! I'm glad everything worked out. I'm definitely interested to see the results if you end up trying N340. I realize that I didn't run the same charge data but with...

It appears that your attachment didn't come through.

I am also an avid reloader, but also not so experienced in pistol powders in CB rifle applications. I read the data, and if it...

I'm glad I could save you some cash. [smilie=w:

The Lee VMD chart shows that N130 is actually a tiny bit bulkier than N140. http://leeprecision.com/cgi-data/instruct/VMD.pdf Try the N130, but...

Okay, I just checked my Lyman Cast Bullet Manual, 4th edition. Unfortunately, there's only one listing of VV powders for any bullet weight under .308 Winchester (there's several under .30-06). The...

I'd try the N340 as a reduced load. I'll check the Lyman cast bullet manual when I get home. Start with the 155 grain mihec. Skip fillers for now, just make sure the charges are near the flash...

What velocity are you looking for? The powders you mention are all rifle powders for full rifle loads. That's fine, if you're looking for full power loads for hunting large game, etc. if you're...

Is your Axis a .308 or .30-06? I'm not familiar with the Swiss 96/11. Was it rechambered to 7.5 Swiss, or another caliber?

I saw on another thread where you mentioned load recommendations for N32c in .45 acp for 230 and 200 gr boolits. Do you have any recommendations for 185 gr boolits?

Also, you don't...

Thank you, gentlemen, for your replies. I'll remove the lube and tumble lube. I'm going to try 45-45-10 this time around.

I have a partial box of commercial cast boolits in which each of the bullets is missing at least part of the lube in the single groove. The gap ranges from 1/16th to 1/4 inch gap in the lube of the...

I'm in the process of finishing up loading 6 lbs of 700x, the only thing I could find in the recent shortages.

It's a great powder, but with very large flakes. I found that it meters great once...

Thanks for the tip. I'll probably try one from Midway. When I get it, I'll measure it. If it looks good, I'll use it. If not, I'll ship it back.

Thanks,

Thanks for pointing me to the NOE expander plugs. I've never seen them before. Although I don't use Lee powder dies, the concept does look interesting. I wonder if someone makes a Dillon...

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful replies. In addition to the replies on this thread, I've received several in depth PMs from some very gracious members of the forum.

Rest assured that I'm...

Thanks, gentlemen, for your replies.

I don't think my Lee die is defective; it does make ammo that shoots. It's probably just the smallest carbide ring that gauges correctly for Lee. So it...

In my other thread about .45 ACP, I mentioned I'm struggling with crunching down my boolits using standard reloading dies. I've addressed my issue of having too much crimp, and I now have a larger...

Dan;

The solder and shot you're adding to the range lead is likely hardening it. You might try to leave it as-is, and thus a tad softer than you are making it. Though it sounds like you're...

Char-gar and prs;

Thank you for your thoughtful replies. The Dillon powder funnels are only available in one size (whatever comes from Dillon). I've had a couple of them custom made at .451 and...

Thank you, gentlemen, for your replies. I will try back off to .471-2 and see what happens.
