Shot 3 groups today...

10, 10.5, 11gr of I4198

The 10.5 and 11gr both ran very accurate, great groups...

But seems like quite a bit of unburned kernals, even with a nice crimp.

I'll try...

I agree

There's a guy selling some on 24hour campfire right now if you can stomach $1 a round. To each their own I suppose.

Thank you ALL for these great loads. I particularly am interested in the 4198 and W231 loads. Will try to get her to the range here shortly.

Evening all -

Want to make sure I'm on the right path here. Have read the PacoKelly page, a page or two over at Winchester Collectors, and about all of the search engine pages I can find. I...

yes!

Thank you 15. I also spoke to a local gunsmith, and he reiterated what many of you said.

A chip hung on the reamer, a broken reamer, re-reaming with a slightly smaller reamer will all produce...

Today's update...

Made 5 cases up to more closely fit the chamber...

3@41.5g, 2@42g.

Figured out true neck length, made these cases .020 short of contact, trim length ended up being 2.150. ...

Thank you all for the help here.

Yes I've got some of that sk75 ammo. That stuff is rough,like they had sand in the dies ha. Some corrosion, so I pulled the bullets (talk about a heavy crimp!)...

Yes, see my measurements above, although not set too far back according to a couple sources (although the Arg chamber seems to be a moving target), but simply set too far back according to my...

Willy thank you, I found the same headspace document as I was searching. I guess what I'm trying to determine now... Is a case that I've sized to the .375 datum line at 1.8250, which chambers freely...

50yd iron sights. The carbine sight rear notch is smaller than the long rifle by a considerable amount, if you can believe that.

Hornady 150gr SP interlock
40-42gr...

Took some measurements of the fired cartridges today.

I have not yet fired the hornady factory ammo in it, but based on measurements I'm not sure I need to...

I ran a sharpened spring wire in...

I've got some hornady factory loaded I'll try. I guess I'm hoping it IS the chamber and then I can find a course of action.

A borescope would help here, I may run down a gunsmith for this one if it's a chamber issue.

Doesn't seem to be a ring inside the cartridge that I can feel. I'm going to measure the fired shoulder dimension tonight.

Rifle is an 1891 Engineers carbine.

Used an old Pacific die set to form some 7.65x53 from Win 30-06 brass. Annealed before forming, reamed necks to thin them after forming. Easy chambering and...

Thank you.

I've got a 1892 in 25-20 that I'm considering reloading for.

Thundar - Spot on. SAME TEAM. Keep it IN HOUSE. And remember that when it's bad outside - or maybe even inside - she's/he's the ONE person you CHOSE to have your back. Don't forget that, and find...

Gas check or no?

Picked up a Browning XBolt Stalker LR in 30-06 for.... $419+ tax from Cabelas.

A 2018 shot show special they still had a couple of, ran a short sale on and I snagged it. Can't wait to get it to...

Well boys, I massaged the ring hardware out. I can't get the crack to move, and cant access it from the inside. I know I might be playing with fire, but I'm going to leave well enough alone and...

Very cool if you're doing any quantity at all

Lyman is probably realizing two companies with incredible followings operate much the same way.

Lee and Vortex. Each at opposite ends of the perceived quality and niche of customer spectrum...

Possible. There is a crack at the foreend that someone previously drove two small pins into - I suppose it's possible they had their hands in here as well.



Thank you. When I took the rifle...
