Have you looked at the patches after firing the rifle? Bullet upset upon firing will seal the bore, and your rifling should neatly cut the patch down the sides. When the bullet exits the muzzle, you...

I have wanted another for years, though not in the 300 Savage. I had a 99G Takedown in 22 Savage Hipower years ago, but like a dummy I sold it. I just picked up another in 250-3000, 99G made in 1930....

I believe the 'Carbide" dies only have a carbide sizing ring inside the tool steel body. It's possible to have a scratch inside the die body itself, and not the carbide sizing ring.

Ahhh, c'mon guys, let the newbies learn the hard way. Trial and error. Even I get caught up in the fervor at times. I was turned on to Ballistol awhile back, guy said it cleans like nothing you have...

From a purely functional standpoint, and not a collectors item, I would buy the new RCBS Summit single stage, very much designed like an old Hollywood press. It retails for right at $180. Just like...

The decal on mine says "Redding - Hunter" It has the cast steel reservoir cap. The powder baffle is aftermarket. The small capacity pistol measure was from Redding. It's easy to swap out...

Mine has a plastic reservoir, and it measures approx 2.125". The ID of the top of the hopper is 2.160". I have two powder mics for mine, one for larger volume of rifle powder, the other is for...

Looks an awful lot like a Redding. Mine is green. I think the plastic drop nozzle on mine is pressed in. Never had reason to mess with it in 45 years. Are there two set screws on the top edge of the...

500 rounds of 45 Auto. Now to shoot them!

I do some paper patch with Black Powder Cartridge. After much research, I found the reason that most folks stick with onion skin paper (either #8 or #9). Most papers that folks write on such as...

It's likely an overcharge of powder, something that is very easy to do with pistol cartridges. If for some reason you were distracted while charging the cases, put an extra charge in a case without...

Ahhhh, the term "Gunsmith". Now that term can be used pretty loosely, as I have found out over the years. Sadly, there are a lot of people who will hang the shingle on the door proclaiming they are...

Yes, Browning is still revered to this day in Belgium. His work bench still stands at FN in Herstal as it did the day he died.

I use the Hornady One Shot spray lube on mine. It dries ( matter of fact, let it dry a few minutes before sizing, as per directions). No need to wipe it off or run it through the tumbler afterwards....

Prayers sent. My mother had breast cancer years ago, and survived. Wifes best friend just went through the treatment for breast cancer last year. She is doing well now.

Financially, he would be better off tax-wise in Wyoming for retirement. I recommend Cody or Sheridan. There are a lot of folks who retire from Montana and move to Wyoming.

I agree with the Reverend. I have a Kowa but when Creedmoor Sports started carrying the Konus, I couldn't help but finally get a look through one. Creedmoor does not carry junk equipment, and I would...

And the old Whitney is a PITA to put back together after strip-cleaning, which I need to do after using BP.
Thanks, in advance

Very nice Hollywood press you have there. I have only seen pictures of them. The first time I saw a photo of that one was in Townsend Whelens old reloading book published in the 1940's(Why Not Load...

No sense in lubing a patch. Lubed patches can pick up dirt and grit in the field or on the range, and you get a bore lap job you didn't need or want. Lube cookies are placed between the powder wad...

Feral pigs have moved from northern California up into Oregon finally. I should go to the state and see if they have any plans for letting the good citizens try and control them. Like the good...

George at Treebone is a great guy! He's done stock work for me in the past. Nice job on that Roller! It looks sweet!

Which mould / bullet are you using?

Marvelux and some of the other commercial fluxes attract moisture, and rust is what you get. I use a wire wheel in my pots (using a face mask), and clean the pots on a regular basis. I clean the...

Never shot bottlenecks mysef, but know plenty of guys who have. Fouling seems to be a bigger issue with the bottneck cartridges from what I have observed, so if anyone has any tips on this, give a...
