I have a 36-260P that is showing good accuracy in subsonics in 1 in16" rifles. Finding a powder that will make enough gas to cycle the gun and still be under 1050 is the current job on the bench. ...

Same here. Tracking info showed up within hours of the "Back Order". Brass came in 2 days.

Sell it to someone that has a lathe and a barrel blank.
I had one of those rifles back when they were $100 and I liked it... 25 years ago, I gave it to a friend who helped me change a clutch in...

Smooth sided paper patch design with a rounded flat point. Not a bore rider. I would size accordingly and seat to fit my throats.

Looking at an Accurate 36-260p mold to make best use of a suppressor I am waiting on. Figure I can use the wait to make some ammo. Rifles are a Ruger American ranch and and AR, both have 1 in 16...

Are you allowed studs? Sipes help in packed snow, but I have never seen they do any good on ice. We run studded true snow tires(which are siped) from November till march here in the snow belt.

Super C and a 140 here. Fairly certain my son twisted off the axle on the Super C last weekend, it only moves if you hold down the right brake... Luckily there are lots of other tractors to do the...
I have a few newish Ruger mags for my Mini. Ruger had them a few weeks ago for $40 on their website, I have a couple from the 90s too.
I must be the exception... I saw the 20 rd Promags...

I hope that is sarcasm. Those handles were $12.99 two months ago when I ordered a set.
In my research, WAP that we had here in the US in the 1990s was Saint Mark's SMP248. Ramshot Silhouette is also supposed to be SMP248. No idea if the NZ powder is the same stuff. I have a fair...

DHL doesn't deliver to me. Any time I get a DHL package USPS does the final drop off. It could be stuck in USPS purgatory with many domestic packages.

There were 2 different labels. The Black ink labels were printed "Not for synchronized guns"
The Red label stuff was labeled for aircraft use(synchronized guns).

I ended up buying a Rock Island 1911A1. It seems much tighter than the last several Colts I have had, and the price was very nice. Hopefully it gets through these primers with no trouble. It...

That is my thought. I am not going to be able to trade even across for any other primers unless I get really lucky.
I ran across some RIA double stack 1911s in 10mm reasonably... That might do...

That is what the sensible part of me says... The one who likes steel mechanical things says an N frame would be a nice way to keep shooting if things stay ugly for a long time.

I have one of the ZPV 8x57 ones that I bought last year. Its a nice reamer, floating pilot, cut well. I cut one chamber with it thinking along the same lines as you.

The Jap military ammo I have handled has had a unmarked head stamps. That appears to be an Arabic script of some sort. .303 ammo was produced in several places in the middle east.
