A friend brought over his Taurus Slim 709, 9mm. We tried some of my plinker reloads using the NOE 358-137 FN. The 709 will not feed any of the rounds from the mag into the chamber except the first...

I always use SPP but I get more dramatic results during load development by changing seating length and giving my reloads a little crimp.

My load is 8.5 gr of surplus 10b101 powder, wolf primers, 360-180 with homemade checks. 1550 fps.

I shoot the same boolit out of my 77/357. Great meat getting boolit. Jeff, I thought Ohio was shotgun only?

I found that my Ruger #1 shoots best with shortened cases. Found it by accident after my wife's uncle gave me about 70 old 45/70 blanks. I fired the blanks and found I had to trim the cases as the...

If you have never needed a boot jack your rubber boots are to big and just flop around on your feet. Good fitting rubber boots are a must for rugged ground hunting. Wish I could find the old style...

Order shim kit. Disassemble the bolt, add enough shims so it won't close. Remove one shim and reassemble bolt. Takes all of five minutes, unless you don't know how to disassemble the bolt. I think I...

Don't forget to shim that two piece bolt. That will get you an additional 1/2" better accuracy.

Intel6, when you say you have "Great results" what are you getting for group size? And is it consistent? I've been wondering how the guys that are PC,ing are doing in rifles.

Shot my Ruger #1 the last couple of days, NOE 350 at 1300 fps with H4198. Several 100 yard groups under 1". It's not to tough on my shoulder, you know that you touch it off but not bad for a 45/70. I...

Here is a group shot today with that NOE boolit shot at 100 yards. This is one of three groups that looked all alike. Ruger #1, 50/50 WW/Pure Lead, double thickness Lithoplate gas checks made with a...

With a 280 gr WFN from LBT mine now shoots fantastic! 17.5 gr of 2400 is my load of choice.
If this picture loads it is a group I shot a couple weeks ago. First shot is a shot from a freshly cleaned...

Got the air Piston working well on the Star. A few minutes on the lathe with a free piece of aluminum round stock. $2.00 worth of rubber O rings and $4.75 worth of brass adapters for the air chuck....

I just turned a piston on the lathe and threaded the bolt into the piston. Now for the adapter to add the air into the top cap. Does anyone know what the thread size is in the top of the big black...

I wish I could get rid of EVERYTHING not related to shooting or casting on this forum. Look at the number of topics that actually have anything to do with shooting, casting or reloading, they seem to...

I have 22 cal, 243/6mm, 38, 44 and 458 Freechex III tools. I make all my checks out of Lithoplate. All single thickness except for the 458 checks where I need double thickness. I make checks for 5 of...

Yup, if you can't hit them with gun you have, get a bigger gun to make up for your lack of shooting skills instead of practicing with something with less recoil. I know a guy who bought a 338 Laupa...

So many people don't even know pump action rifles exist. Kind of sad. The only guns they are acquainted with are AR-15's. And everybody knows you can't kill deer with a 30-06, you need some type of...

Lakemaster, yes I cut to make it more compact for brush hunting and to keep it from snagging on low hanging tree limbs when it is on my shoulder. Being 6'-2" tall, a long barrel sticking up over my...

I have two. One in a 30/06 and the second in 35 rem. The 30/06 is my everyday carry gun for deer. They carry as nice as any rifle out there. They are accurate, dependable and fast to your shoulder. I...

Marrels last for me but no way are they waterproof.

My encore will only shoot well if I put the pin in the same each time. Turn the pin around and accuracy goes away. I marked it with a "R" on one side of the pin so it is always inserted to the right...
