Pietro, it’s been like this for about 15 years just setting in my safe but I do remember it was loose in the stock when I was trying to figure out what was wrong. I was also shooting 1940 vintage...
Forum: Military Rifles
Thanks everyone! I’ll keep my eyes out for a stock. But I may just try a repair for now. I realized I never posted a picture of the whole rifle... it’s definitely been in a civilian sporter stock the...

Ok so I have a Mauser K98 small ring that was sporterized when I got it. The problem is there is a nice chunk of the stock that has chipped out and I’d like to put it in a new stock... now normally I...

I don’t use that bullet but I use the lee 358-158 TL SWC that weighs 163 grains with my alloy. The biggest problem you will have is seating depth.. I was able to find a sweet spot, and got heavy...

Well the 145-swc was a success. But the 175-tc was a different story... I loaded them over 5.2 grains of unique, and the accuracy was terrible. Looks like I might go for some accurate #5 and play...

Thanks! I usually would start lower. In fact if a starting works I usually will stop right there. I was going for a major PF load and went for something I wouldn’t normally go for.

My favorite 9mm load is a lee TL-358-158-swc powder coated and sized to .356 over 3.5 grains of unique and an OAL of 1.09. Very easy shooting and accurate out of my Glock 19.
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I just decided to start loading .40 and picked up a couple molds a lee 401-145-swc and the lee 401-175-tc. I loaded up the 145’s with 5.2 grains of Unique at 1.135”. I’m not worried about that...
I’m loading the lee 358-158-swc over 3.5 grains of unique at 1.09oal. They shoot great out of my Glock 19. I’m seriously thinking of having my ruger pc carbine throated because they won’t even...
Yep a 657-4 mountain gun. It's probably my favorite out of all the firearms I own!

I have come to really like the lee 356-120TC. I powder coat them size to 356 and load them over 4.5 grains of unique at C.O.L of 1.10. I shoot these in my stock gen4 glock 19.
Love the 41 mag Smiths! I have a 657-4 mountain gun. Right now my favorite load is 4.5 grains of trail boss pushing a 208gr lee wadcutter.

My 1:7 twist middy AR runs the lee 55 grain bullet powder coated and no gas check applied with 21 grains of either BlC(2) (which seams to be the best) and 21 grains of IMR 4895, I have tried H335 as...
I do need a chronograph! But am on a strict budget as we are trying to buy a house right now... hopefully soon though!
As far as choosing Unique I was a little afraid of getting into no actual load data with a faster powder like hp38, and I had hs6 around as well but it always seems to have more recoil then other...
A couple months ago I decided to see if I could load up some heavy 9mm... so I gathered a bunch of data from articles, forums, and online load data. When I decided it may be possible I took a few lee...
I have the 41-195SWC I load it over unique.... it does the job!

I shoot the lee 55grain fp out of my 1:7 twist carbine out to 200.

I shoot the lee 312-160tl and the lee 312-185 with either 4198, and or RL7.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have never shot one past 200 but I do ring steel with the lee 225-55rf at that range in my ar. Powder coated no check.

I found my lee 410-208wc mold on eBay... but I haven't seen another since.... 193068
