I fireform 8x56r into 8x58r. Sure the result is 2mm shorter, but you never have to trim. From that point on, I only neck size.

Taking the Way Back Machine to 1979-1981, the pigs that molybdenum 99 came in weighed about 32 pounds. 22 for the main container with a 10 pound lid. They were round and thick. Cast nice bullets...

I doubt it’s an isotope container. Two sides are thinner and two sides are thicker…wouldn’t uniformly keep the radiation inside if the rays had enough energy. Too complex inside. Typically the inside...

Tubb Final Finish Bore Lapping System

This worked superbly on a rusty bore Finnish M39. I only used 5 of each bullet and cleaned after each bullet fired. Brushes and JB bore paste were not...

I have 3 M39’s: VKT, Sako SkY, & a 1968. Also a M28/30, the third one made once the design was finalized. The M28/30 was issued to the civil guard unit where the Battle of Raate Road took place in...

I have similar, but not as big as yours in my Ruger 44 special, so mine sized come out .4135”. At first using Lyman #2, the accuracy was barely ok. Trying 20/1lead/tin, it cut my groups in half. My...

I’ve found no need for fillers using 2400. I shoot up to 200 yd, but mainly up to 100 yd. I shoot the 311291 and 311284.

Extra rations for the goat herd. Twice a day a bucket of warm water for them to drink…they know the blue bucket and cold weather and get in order of dominance to drink. Regular water buckets are...

We average 1 power outage longer than 30 minutes every 2 months in NW Florida rural. I have UPS’s attached to computer, tv, router, satellite dish. I have a 2kw solar generator sitting by the tv....

I use a lot of IMR4895 & 2400. I don’t use “hot” loads. Cast, jacketed, and M160 frangible bullets. I’ve seen no difference. I use the same amount of powder.

I forgot I did see one difference: ...

I’m one who Wolfdog91 mailed a money order to. Weird, but this morning I saw two envelopes in the road in front of my property. One was my 2024 social security notice. The other was a wet, ink...

I only have a small hobby (with goats) farm and am surrounded by 6 property owners. All the surrounding property owners have permission that if they shoot a deer on their property and it makes it...

I have Lyman .309, .310, .311, .312. All have been used. Current Midway price new is 35.99 each. How about $60 shipped for all 4? USPS money order or personal check. If YES, let's take this...

Here's my load:

11.0GR UNIQUE, LYMAN 439186 SIZED WITH .443” DIE, WW LR, 3.15” OAL

My Argentine RB has a .443" groove diameter. Leading is terrible and swift if bullets are under size. No...

I cannot emphasize enough what others have said about slugging the bore. My M1898 Krag rifle has a beautiful bore, but gave "not good enough for me" results with my 30 caliber cast loads, even when...

Let me join in the fun:

Went into a part of the shed I keep some ammo cans in to retrieve a can to use and saw a black plastic 8lb jug that powder came in. Turning it over, I found it was an 8lb...

311284 or 311291. Both work great in my three 03's. I size them all at .311".

After the first firing, only neck size so the case is more formed to your chamber and the blow back will be less.

Here's my mild/moderate Ishapore 2A load: 15GR 2400, 311291 SIZED .311”, #2 ALLOY HARDNESS, 50/50 LUBE, CCI 200, 2.525” OAL. Nice accuracy, not chronographed, but probably around 1500-1600 fps. ...

The red hand was not added, but came that way. It is used either to indicate “Zulu time” or the time in another time zone. Some will look a bit more orange…kinda depends on how faded the red is.

I had the "regular" implants done. Vision for distance was 20-20, but has slowly went to about 20-30 over months following surgery. I too had/have astigmatism, but is was slightly improved...

I dehumidify my reloading shed, now for 15 years. Dehumidifier is plugged in all year and drains to the outside via a hose. The typical dehumidifier sold by my local Lowes has a warrantee of 1...
