Pear peelings. When I was a teenager I had an old uncle who would gather up all the pear peelings after my mom and my aunts had finished canning pears. I know he put it in about a 10 gallon crock...

Bought a Norinco at $99. When that one got stolen, I got a Yugo at $160 which was still a bargain in my eyes. Wish I had bought a crate of the Yugos at 6 to the crate times 160. Would have been a...

There are wide variations in these rifles, and that's an understatement. I have a 91/30 with a 310 bore that won't chamber any boolet larger than 311. And an M44 that happily swallows a 314 because...

My father had one of these during the 1930s, which was before I was born. I never fully understood what he was talking about. I thought the rifle he was discussing was a Remington, but maybe he was...

I still have my old shot record too and it shows the last flu shot they made me take just before I was discharged in late 68. It made me so sick I thought I was dying, but it worked so well that I...

The 4320 has at least some applications in all three rifle calibers you mentioned. 7625 I don't know, but somebody out there wants it just because it's discontinued. I have recently seen 4064...

That would explain the new Remington bolt rifle I bought at Wally World about 15 years ago that wouldn't close on Remington factory ammo. Had to carry it to an authorized Remington representative to...

Not extinct. Have seen medium cat critters in extreme south Texas within a mile of the Rio Grande living in "cactus, mesquite, and thorny scrub."

Thanks for the info. On edit I can't testify that the relatives ruined that carbine barrel with ammo from a US spam can. They also had several bags of loose ammo, and no one now living knows where...

"....there was never a corrosive-primed .30 carbine round...." I wouldn't bet the farm on that. About 40 years ago a nice looking carbine came into my hands from some relatives who had inherited...
I have used Red Dot loads as small as 2.1 grains with the same Lee 93 you have. Very mild plinkers although mine were the pc version. Not sure if that will meet your 800 fps criteria. Also used...

I've only seen one alive in the wild. Me and a couple of companions walked up on a big porky who was eating apples from a tree at an old abandoned house place. We walked up to within 3 or 4 paces...

The Lyman M die may be the problem. Did you use a standard sizer die before the M die? I'm no expert on them, but I know Lyman makes an M die labelled 31 Long. That may or may not be correct for...

I believe the gentleman is loading for a 7.65 Argentine Mauser. That cartridge is sometimes referred to as 7.65X53 and sometimes it's X54. I don't know why. When he says he is Far South, he isn't...

But you can save by buying in bulk. 1000 rounds will only cost you $1200. Such a deal.

Got a Model 30 JC Higgins 22 semiauto from a friend a few years ago for $125. This one is a keeper; it eats everything and shoots better than I can. Thank you High Standard.

A WWII veteran of the Normandy invasion told me "the Germans could shoot our ammunition (30-06), but we couldn't shoot theirs (8X57).

I tried to look up Roundhill Group LLC and I found a financial services company, an insurance company, a delivery service that operates within New York City, and a couple of others. I don't know if...

My last powder purchase was at a gun show in January, the last one I've been to this year. Found a lone pound of IMR4831 and carried it home.

I paid $40 for 1k SRP just about the time everything started going kerflooey. I had to grit my teeth but I'm glad now that I did it. That was at an Academy store. Haven't been back since.
MDI @#7 had a decimal point jump a place. He's talking about Lee's now smallest dipper the .17cc. My old set doesn't have one of these either, 44magLeo. 1.7cc of Bullseye would be about 16grains.

Most accurate rimfire I ever owned was a round barreled model 12. It helps if you're a teenager with 20/15 vision.
