OK, with apologies - I know this is off topic, but have gotten good non-cast advice here before.

I'm looking for 40-grain, flat point, FMJ bullets to load some mild squirrel loads in my .22...

Found the manual - just a little pamphlet, really. No mention of the numbers on the eyecup. Oh, well…

Thanks for all the input, commiseration and suggestions. Took all of that to heart and scrubbed (and scrubbed and rescrubbed) the bore. Shooter's Choice was in there, along with brake cleaner, a...

Well, as usual, I’m way behind the times.

Years ago I bought (new) a very nice Redfield spotting scope - a “Rampage 80.” I’ve been using it with a nice Freeland tripod stand (that probably cost me...

Thanks - will that phosphoric acid etch attack the barrel itself?

I have inherited a WW2 bringback - an 8MM Mauser rifle that was originally a pre-WW2 commercial German hunting gun, but was unfortunately bubba-ed once it got into the US. A late uncle used this gun...

Just saw this.

Rick B - can you post a copy of the letter?

Thanks.

Probably not the right place to post this question.

I recently picked up a Winchester Model 54 that was originally chambered for .22 Hornet, but has been rebarreled with a stainless steel barrel...

Thanks for the helpful input, Guys - much appreciated!

Anyone out there reloading/shooting .30 Rem in an old Remington Model 8 or 81 autoloader?

I would just like to know if I can get away with neck-sizing between loads, or do I need to FL size each...

I hope this isn't TOO off-topic.

Ross Seyfried apparently wrote a good .22 Hornet/K-Hornet article in Guns & Ammo magazine sometime way back in the 1980s, but I haven't been able to pin down in...

Thanks.

I have a nice single-shot rifle made up on a small Martini action and fitted with a 10X Unertl scope. Came with reloading dies and a bunch of brass -- also some jacketed loads which shoot...

Just wondering if anyone on the Board has cast bullet experience with this one :?:

TIA,

Tom

Got it -- thanks :smile:

I've read that Ken Waters included information in his "Pet Loads" on the evolution of the 2R Lovell Maximum, from the old 25-20 Single Shot, to the .22-3000, to the 2R Lovell, and finally to the 2R...

Nice shooting. Whose cases are you using? I don't have any experience with WC872 - my smokeless loads have all been with 4759 or 5744, and these were with previous .50-70 rifles (a NYS Rolling Block...

These old 2nd Allins have a very basic rear sight -- similar to the rear sights on a Civil War rifled musket. Unlike the 1868, there is no sliding elevator when the sight is up. I was shooting mine...

Anybody have trouble (and solutions?) with their 1866 2nd Allins shooting high? Mine shoots about 14" high at 100 yards.

TIA

Thanks, Everybody -- lots of good input.

When I get that far, I am going to defer to Mr. Hoyt.

I have an older Navy Arms / Zoli 1803 Harper's Ferry with a .58 caliber bore rifled for Minies. I'm having it relined by Bobby Hoyt in .54 for shooting patched round balls. What rifling twist rate...

Well, you guys are great -- but I jumped the gun :(

There was one of these for sale on GunBroker, and I put in what I thought would be a killer, sure-fire winning bid -- but lost out while I was...

These date back into the 70s and 80s. Anybody have any experience with one of them? I would appreciate load recommendations, as well as information on who made the barrels, locks, and triggers.

TIA

I am reloading for a M1866 2nd Allin in .50-70 and need a .517" die -- which I can't find anywhere.

Doe anyone know of someone making up custom sizes?


TIA

Tom

Thanks for the advice -- will let you know how I make out.
