I have used a bit of rubber that is a thin gasket material. Just cut it and trim for a fit where the tenon and wood come together. Just snug the forearm screw but dont over tighten. This has worked...

I have a Ruger #3 in 45-70 that might save you a lot of $. Maybe we could work out a trade of some sort.

I have had three 310 barrels over the past ten years. They miked from .314 to .318. in the grooves. Some of the older Lyman molds for 30 calibers ran as high as .314. You can Beagle them larger if...

I use a Ruger #3 for my .223 loads. Use 846 with CCI450 and R-P cases. For the unfamiliar, a Ruger #3 is a single shot, very strong action, with a 22 inch barrel. It is quite similar to the Ruger...

I did the annnealing, but there is still a difference on many cases. I miked the ones that felt different and they mike the same as "normal" cases. I have them segregated, so I will determine if...

I guess that the thin case walls on Hornet brass fooled my mind that they could be so tough from hardening. It does make sense. I will certainly do the annealing. Thanks for the info.

I notice, when seating boolits, about 20% have a different feel. The "funny" ones seem to be harder to seat. I don't see any shaving. Is this a case difference or case hardness or ?????????? I...

Current best in a Ruger #3 Hornet is 3.7 Red Dot with 225415 ACWW and BAC lube sized to .2255. This is an OLD batch of RD. Price shows $6.75/3 lbs.
The RCBS 55 FN is not quite a good, but I...

You might want to check out the Whisper loads for light j boolits.

I have a friend that has a poly barrel that WILL NOT shoot lead. Works like a champ on J bullets. It also tends to lead up very quickly. Seems like the boolit skids down the barrel and at close...

Mine is marked 9mm Bergmann. It accepts and ejects 38 Super brass. Have not had the first problem with using that brass. Slugged the barrel and use cast only in it. Fun gun. I think the Bergmann...

I lucked into some cases for 38 Super. Been using them in a Destroyer Carbine. They seem to be an exact fit in the chamber to replace Largo brass.

The only bad 22 I ever had was a Mossberg which I eventually discovered had a banana bore. Both ends were centered, but it bowed in the middle. It shot all over the place. Most accurate rig is a...

I shot a few cast in mine with no adverse effects. A friend shot a lot of cast in his without any trouble. He used lighter loads which worked because he had an extra recoil spring he had snipped...

Do any revolver shooters check out which hole may be causing a flyer? I normally prick punch a mark on the back of a cyclinder so I can then I.D. which holes shoot good groups and which don't. You...

Early in this tomb it was mentioned that Kroil was used to clean dies with. I use Kroil for a variety of reason. Great product. However, it is NOT a lubricant. It may act as one if used in a air...

Has anyone had success dropping decently accurate pistol charges using this powder ????????????? I have to weigh every single one. It also seems to spit when used on revolvers.

The 21.5 load of H-110/296 seems to me to be well above all the reloading books I have seen. Most have 18 as a TOP, some go slightly higher. This with 300 gr cast. The 320 is even heavier yet,...

The latest Lyman Manual lists a number of powders for that size bullet.

I ran into a fellow that shot light cast loads. He had shortened the spring in it so it would function properly. I never tried this as I didn't have a normal size apring to put back in it when I...

Some of the older Lyman books also feature "Pet Loads", which can give some guidance if your in never never land.

If you pull the Hornet barrel, I would be interested in buying it. Frank at: franklinzeman@sbcglobal.net

I used to hang on getting the next issue to read Skeeter. Didn't his son or wife put together a book with all his articles? It would be worthwhile to have and reread!!!!!

I shot some of those 358429's from a single shot Martini. Load as I recall was about 10 grains or so of 2400, I doubt it was over 12 grains. That slug would totally penetrate an 8 inch tree trunk. ...

Starch powder may tend to leave a residue of burned stuff that could be hard and difficult to remove without water. Talc is a finely ground stone. Worry about bore wear ????? Barrel makers used...
