I have successfully built several single shot rifles and I have bedded the forearm on all of them for their full length. The main thing I watch for is where the forearm touches the receiver, I do not...

I sometimes shoot a .458 Win Mag with Lee 500 gr. cast boolets, but lately with 550 gr. cast from a group buy here. I use around 54 gr. of IMR 4064. I am getting good accuracy offhand but it is not...

I have wanted to make this change to my lead pot and finally got around to it this winter. Thanks to your excellent post Cranium the project was easy. Not exactly like yours but will work for me.

I built a .22 LR upper using a Compass Lake barrel and bolt kit, it is very accurate using CCI standard velocity, the only ammo I have used. Functioning however, is not always 100%, if there is no...

Not sure this will solve your problem but I often get slight leading at the muzzle in my rifles if I drive them too hard. In my 45-70 I use IMR 3031 and 4064 all it takes is .5 - 1.0 grs. above my...

It's day 2 and no response, I guess they know that I know what kind of **** they are selling and no explanation will satisfy me.

Well today was the first business day since I sent my complaint, no reply.
And the product I bought is still junk.

Here is the message I just sent to Hornady.
I recently purchased 2 Hornady Carbide Expander Spindles for .223 from Palmetto State Armory, LLC.
I got around to using one today and the collet nut...

It payed to ask the question, the plan is to use a carbide expander ball and lube the cases with the lube pad as usual. To me it gets tedious using a neck brush to individually lube the inside of the...

Maybe it will be worth buying a tube and mixing it with some alcohol.

I will soon start sizing and decaping about 2500 .223 once fired rifle brass cases for next years high power season. I usually use RCBS Case Lube 2 on a lube pad and a neck brush to lube inside the...
A while back I bought a Magnum Research 10" 45-70 revolver and promptly installed a Match Dot on it. I am still amazed at the acuraccy of this gun in fact so much so I just bought another one so I...
I find the recoil very manageable. Magnum Research likes to see the pressures of the 45-70 under 30,000, half of the .454 Casull's potential pressure.

No gloves, short sleeve shirt, shorts, flip flops. Smelting is another matter.

Hi Frank,
These are bought. With high power season started I won't be casting untill fall. Do you and .44 man have a favorite mold for this gun?

Got out and shot the BFR 45-70 10" revolver again today, this time with a powder charge of 27.5 gr. of SR 4759 and the same 425 gr. Glenhills GC cast boolit, a tuft of filler and Federal 155 primers....

It's not really a good scope for hunting, too much could happen to it.

I use mine only for target shooting and they work fine. My friends and I often have an informal match at 100, 200 and 300 yds. using standard NRA SR targets and the scope is very repeatable between...

I tried to get a 200 yd. 20 shot offhand match going at Tiverton Rod & Gun Club a while back. Sort of a schutzen style match with a 50/50 split for the winner of each line, but couldn't get much...

It's a 20X Lyman Super Target Spot. The blocks came from Steve Earle, <steven.m.earle@comcast.net>, (781) 585-3929.

Thanks Guys,
I thought it might be too big and heavy, although there is always unlimited.
