Hi - I have a drilling in 9.3x72R and have been trying to work up some cast loads wtihout too much success. I have tried 358315, 358430 and 366408. Could you share your favourite loads? I'm...
Thanks - that's exactly what I was looling for. Sure miss Floodgate's posts.
Hi : I have a couple of pairs of Lyman handles that have become quite stiff to operate - almost as if they are seizing. Sometime ago Floodgate posted the rememdy for this but for the life of me I...

Thanks guys. I knew it was for something machine shop related. I don't need a notch broaching fixture so canoe anchor it is.
Thanks again

I have no idea what this is but it was in a machine shop sell off and is still in the protective wax covering, Of course it followed me home. Other than a canoe anchor what's it used for?
Thanks...

Hubertus - again thank you very much for the time and effort you've put in on this. All information is good - especially confirmatory information. Your Hunter education sounds quite extensive...
Thanks Hubertus - very informative. I do have a question about the "French triggers with separate cocking lever" It may be a terminology issue could you explain those? Certainly I'm not aware of...
Greg - these are for my 16x16x9.3x72R drilling so smooth bore. 16 guage slugs are very rare here and I suspect that the original load for this old gun was a round ball combination'
Hi folks - just got finished reading the threads about 12 gauge round ball - anyone tried 16 gauge?
Mike - any chance of a photo? I have the DWM guide and may be able to find a match - or a photo of the markings on the underside of the barrels? Sometimes they will have valuable clues. Other than...

Hi I've just been given an opportunity to buy a 9.3x72R Drilling with the Lyman 366408 mould. I know very little about this calibre and wonder if anyone has any pet loads with this mould.

This device came from the estate of a long time shooter and ballistician - and I am at a total loss as to what if may be for! It is very well made, though not a production item. Any ideas?
