The booklet that comes with the pistol advises 400 to 500 rounds of factory 230 gr for breaking it in. I was given 50 rounds of Rem fmj and have a 100 or so fmj reloads that plunk into the chamber...

Shootin it alot was the other alternative that came to my mind. Too bad all those reloads will void the warranty:bigsmyl2:

A new Kimber Ultra Carry just followed me home. I field stripped it and found the lugs and the back of the cut at the muzzle end where the barrel seats in the slide (bushingless) to have sharp...
My Ruger 7722 hornet is also 14 twist. It shoots 225462 (about 58 gn) with reasonable accuracy, about 2moa. I don't have the note book close by so no powder charge except to say h4198 was doing...

I've enjoyed this thread greatly. I have also learned some things about loading for autos, although I dont have a 32. With a new 1911 comming soon I hope to put some of this very good information...
Well mine isn't any more. Maybe oops, maybe not. I'll find out soon enough.
I just got mine from Titan Reloading and plan on using it for plinking loads in a Glenfield 30 microgroove (30-30). There was a monster of a burr on the base which I removed with a pocket knife. ...
Just ordered the TL 314 90 SWC to use in my microgroove Marlin. Thanks for the info

The title says it. Has anyone here had any experience working pecan into a stock or with a gun already stocked with this wood?

The taper on the 22-250 and the 06 should be similar enough to feed well. You may want to put a spcer in the mag. Maybe not

If you are going to rust blue a bolt rifle, do you just plug the muzzle and chamber and forget about the inside of the receiver?
Yup 250-3000/250Savage are the same critter by different names. I realy like that slight bluish tint that annealing givs the necks and will certainly do that If I go the 22-250 route. Don't want to...
The title says most of it. I can't seem to find a vendor that has it in stock. I might have to try forming 22-250 back to the parent case.
I tried Graff's, Midway, Brownells, Mid South, and...
Larry covered the safety concerns. sthwestvictoria covered the rest. If the boolit doesn't pull out when removing the loaded round from the chamber you're golden. I'm told the engagement helps...

I wouldn't shorten the magazine a bit. I built a 257 Roberts AI on a 30-06 donor specifically so I could load long to find the lands. Just my 2 cents.

This is another way to put a hole through a butstock blank.
I start by squaring the blank on a jointer/planer. Plane one side just enough to clean it up. Hold that planed side flush with the fence...

IF that chambered easily AND did not pull the pill out of the case on extraction I'd start with a starting load and work it up at that OAL.
Well what's the point of having powder if'n ya don't shoot it?:kidding:

I've gathered the parts for a Mauser build. My action is stamped on the front ring "MODELO 1912" and on the left side between the ring and the loading notch "WAFFENFABRIK STEYR" and under that...

Steel should etch in a weaker solution than copper. Copper is less reactive than carbon steel and probably some of the stainless varieties.

In a Whelen with a 14 or 16 twist I think you can get prerry darn near max. I haven't tried it yet but I'm on the way there
