RCBS used to supply rams that are pretty much universal - don't know if they still do.
If you sharpen that Harbor Freight punch it will cut better.

Adam, this is a chapel, not a Church. The chapel in your local hospital does not have an Easter message, as far as I know. That's not it's purpose.

That's why "There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" God knew all our sin and sinfulness before we were born and Jesus came to save us, to love us when we hated him, to...

It totally depends on how much precision you want. Those who are shooting long range BP use compression, I used some compression in my 44-40's when I was loading them with BP. You do want some...

This applies just as much or more to Peter and his experiences. At that point Judas had already decided to betray Jesus.
Yes, Jesus is all and all and is God.

If the cartridges have a rebated rim they are based on the 11mm Mauser case. That was common in the day that yours was made. If yours is 60mm it might just take a neck down to make your cases. You...

Got the replica, lost a place to shoot bp at the end of this month. No help on loads, but I loaded my shotgun barrel with 20 ga buck and ball and didn't expect accuracy. A 20ga ball and a couple of...

That's an old story, Adam. About the fourth version of it that I've seen in the past 40 years. The original version I heard was a Swiss diplomat talking to one of Hitler's generals - You have an...

Lazer thermometer will not be satisfactory. You need an immersion thermometer to get an accurate reading. "One try the lead went straight through the mold"? The mold has to be tightly closed to...

Don't just slug the barrel, do a chamber cast - then you know exactly what you have for a throat and chamber. On the other hand, I have no idea how hard it is to chamber cast an 1886!

The first thing I would do is, if it will draw, get a good hot fire going in it. This will tell you how it burns and will remove most of the rust. Then you will see what you have left under the...

In fact, if you have said the 'lord's prayer' - actually the disciple's prayer - that is exactly what you have asked God to do - forgive me as I forgive others! Even as I rest in His forgiveness I...
I have a Pacific Pistol Powder measure - and uses 1/2" brass pieces 1/2" long. I drill a through hole for whatever load I need. To add just a touch add a chamfer to the hole. I have one for 1gr BE...

I have a Bair three station press and CH4D still makes a four station press, I believe. It is the same idea all in one press.

If you want to keep it to original materials and need to shim look into horn. It was used then for a lot of things.

I have three Uberti 44-40 guns, two revolvers and a Uberti 1874 Win. and my reloads fit two of the three. Uberti is not consistent in in making 44-40 chambers. One of my revolvers is much tighter...

Years ago I was driving around the area and saw someone selling two house size evacuation fans. I bought the largest of the two and mounted it on wheels to use in my garage (I do woodwork) to cool...

Dave Davidson (CH4D) made my 10.5x47R dies on the basis of a chamber cast. He also told me that my 10.5x47R chamber was different than his other 23 10.5x47R chambers! Seems gunsmiths back then...

Up and down. I can move the barrel down a touch when it is locked up. Agreed, these are among the best H&R made. This is not the cylinder, it is the lock up on top of the frame.
