I would certainly be interested, especially in the old Savage cartridges, but I doubt they could be made affordable for the average guy. Look at the new Marlins...starting at $1000 for the ones I've...

Loaded up 50 rounds of 32 H&R Mag with 115 Gr Montana Bullet RNFP over AA7. Also prepped a batch of 7mm Mag, and some 9mm brass.

44Blam, what system are you using to make your gas checks? Have you tried them yet?

This is interesting. I had always thought zinc would somehow ruin the pot and the molds, not just the mixture. I might have to give this a try.

Are you planning to sell these bullets on the Swappin and Sellin forum? I can always use more 8mm bullets.

That's a lot of work. I love the 8x57.

Loaded up some 300 Savage with the Lee 155 grain .312 sized to .311 over 16 grains of 2400. Going to see how it works in the 722 this week. 309 diameter bullets have never performed well in that...

Thanks! I might have to give that a try. I think I've seen the article you mention, but I'll certainly look it up again now.

Loaded 100 rounds of 30 carbine for my Blackhawk. Re-looking some loads (50) with the 311410 130 grain boolit over 2400, and trying another batch (50) with the Ohaus 30-120-F 120 grain gas checked...

Prepped 20 7mm Mag cases for loading. Let me tell you, I really like that Lee collet sizer. Unfortunately, I'll be using j-bullets in this.

Annealed a handful of 8x57 cases, then loaded them up with some 220 grain bullets and 4198. Gotta wait until next weekend to see how they shoot.

Deprimed about 200 shotshells. Also loaded up some more 9x18 Mak to fire form the rest of my homemade cases.

That's kind of what I was thinking too, but Ia5676 may be onto something too. In the end it doesn't matter much I suppose. I resized the cases and they stretched back out.

I shot my newly formed 9x18 Mak cases today. They were loaded with the 95 grain Lee round nose over 4 grains of unique. I shot them out of an IJ70 which is the civilian version of the Makarov pistol....

Yes, the CZ52 is bad about it too. I've always had a hard time getting seating depth correct on that cartridge so that it will feed reliable. I must be doing something wrong. It's a blast to shoot...

Yesterday I converted 100 military 9mm Luger cases to 9x18 Makarov brass. Those commie guns are hard on brass, and they sling empties into the next county. It was a pretty simple process of expanding...

The Mark II is a fantastic little rifle. Accurate, reliable, and inexpensive. I have three of them. They are all accurate. As some have mentioned, the extractor spring is the weak point on these....

I'll take #9, 22 Hornet dies

I'll take the NOE 225-39-FN-B2 mold with top punch - $70 shipped.

I tried the 5-in-1 brass using 6.5 grains of unique, topped with an overpowder card, topped with as much 7.5 shot as I could fill the case with, topped with an overshot card. Topped that off with...

I've got a box of 5-in-1 brass that I bought by mistake. Going to try making shotshells from that and firing them in a 410/45 LC derringer. For wads I used a hole punch at work that cuts out discs...

Loaded up some 30-30 with 120 grain round nose boolits. Stripped some old crusted on alox off a batch of old boolits to resize and lube for later. Gasoline works like a charm for that. Got one of my...

Haven't tried cast boolits in my 99. It has never been a great shooter. I suspect the bore is oversize, which calls for CBs. I have tried them in my 722 in 300 Sav with OK results. Using the Lee 150...

Coopaloop, 351 WSL brass is available, but pretty expensive. Check out Buffalo Arms. They usually have a couple of listings for it.

I love to see an old timer like this brought back to life. They are cool rifles. The triggers on those things are terrible, and like you say, the rifles are heavy for their size. Loads of fun to...
