I remember reading something along this line some years back by General Julian Hatcher, not certain. They found bullet lubes are actually a contaminate in the barrel and unlubed lead bullets shot...

Some models of the CVA side locks require the removal of the drum and nipple prior to attacking the breech block. Tthe drum abuts or goes into the breech block. Also CVA will void their warranty if...

You might try Fulton Armory. I have done business with them but have talked to them on the telephone and they seem to be quite knowledgable in this area. Their telepone is 800-878-9485 and their web...

35 winchester in a #4 Enfield? You might want to check out the Enfield website at www.303british.com. This site has a lot of information and good links to others. It is out of Canada so they know...

I found throwing in a few pieces of paper toweling when running the tumbler will pick up a lot of the dust and stuff. After an hour or two, pull the old paper toweling out and add a dash of...

Chargar I sent you a PM about the sight to obtain your mailing address. I will send it forwith, monday or tuesday. Good Luck.

Which type of reciever sight does this use? Is it the one that swings off to the side mounted on the rear? I might know of someone who has one available. This is the type I have seen on a lot of...

Recieved my new second model of the Ranch Dog. Haven't cast with it yet. No return lable however either. Too hot to cast down this way right now. Hope it works out. Thanks Jeff for the effort I...

Hi, yes the teflon type tapes have been used with varying results. It is rather thin and hard to make uniform, but does do a decent job, or so the reports say. It was discussed from time to time in...

I have this mould and it is a very good shooter from the getgo. Was great in a number of 5 groove 1917 enfield barrels at high velocity. Also worked very well in an M1 Garand. Good Luck.

Keel Lead in most sail boats is anything which was cheap when the boat was built. Back in the 1980's when the price of lead shot up out of sight for a while I knew some shooters who were also scuba...

Well Paul Matthews I believe talks of doing this with some of the slow stick powders in his strong .45-70's and .458's. He uses a charge of something like Unique to get a clean burn on something like...

I use the offset plates as mentioned to make my gas checks for gas checked .30's. Work great, the plates are actually an alloy of aluminum and another metal, dead soft and the plates are...

I have seen some interesting comments on the various bolt head used on the military 303's. On the 303.com site one person, would tighten the head space by changing to a longer bolt head, from .01 to...

Don't forget the 11MM Mauser which is a proven cartridge. They did use a paper patched bullet and got good accuracy, with mine (smokeless-sorry) it will do under an inch at 100 yards. Also Mauser...

Sounds like a nice rifle. I have had luck with an outfit in Florida that specializes in Savage parts. The Small Arms Shop, in Inverness, Florida. Their site is www.savageparts.com. They seem to...

Lead and Zinc do not form any type of alloy. All you get is a sludge which is useless. They have done experiments in micro gravity aboard the space shuttle trying to get the two different elemental...

About ten years back or so a lot of big dealers and distributors were wailing and carrying on about the number of home gunshops, people working out of their garages and basements. Mainly had their...

The original 577 Enfield paper cartridges were made with the paper wrapped around the bullet with the base facing out. When loading they opened the twisted end, dumped the powder and then loaded the...

I wonder if the 577 Snider or Snyder was meant for a paper patched bullet. When the brits converted to the 577-450 they did use paper patched. This seemed to be a common way of doing it overseas at...

Flux used in melting lead and lead alloys help clean the impurities out of the metal by acting as a wetting agent to the melt. Best I have found is straight Cannuba Wax in flake form. Only takes a...

Most casting was done with basically pure lead. Lead was pretty pricey the further you got from the source. A lot of old shooting matches included a prize which amounted to cutting down the tree...

Thanks Brian, the 311440 arrived today(Monday) looks great and once the temp. gets a little lower some casting is in order. thanks for all the effort you put into this, looks like a shooter. Have a...

My mold arrived Saturday. Looks great have to get to casting looks like it will make a very nice bullet. Thanks for doing this and really appreciate the quick turn around. Have a great day.

The big problem is pentatration. I have seen many of the then common police 200 grain loads fail to go through auto glass if it is angled. As for the bullet tumbling which was claimed for the 380-200...
