I have just picked up a 38-55 1894 Win today that exhibits the same problem ie the last bit is awkward, but I only found out about 15 minutes ago that there are 2 lengths of cases.

The one I got...

Below is a message I sent to the company mentioned above about a concern I have with 38-55 Winchesters. This problem may become even more personal as I am about to purchase (possibly an...

Harpman, please get a casting thermometer and check your temperature. You are getting dangerously close (if not already at it) for lead to start to vapourise. This is a dangerous place to be. I cast...

Not easily and too darned expensive, let alone the environmental issues concerned. There are also some serious health issues to be considered as the processes give of some very dangerous by-products....

Just thought I would let everyone know how this thing is progressing.

3six,

Would it be a Silicon spray, a water dispersant like WD40 or CRC etc ?.

Set everything up for 38's in 158 grn RNFP and it is working like a charm.

The 44's finished OK (only about 600-700 needed doing) and it did OK. Will need to check to see if any hole have filled...

KY, I was thinking along similar lines, but the holes are so darn tiny. A #59 drill bit is vewy, vewy small.

I would need more than just glasses to see 'em :roll:

Thanks for confirming...

It would appear that there were some burrs. Got to it with some 800 grit wet & dry paper and did a little clean up and it ran for a little while before clogging up again.

Got annoyed with that and...

SixBits, they are approx .430 if not .429.
