I make cases for the .43 Beaumont starting with .50-90 Sharps brass. Cut it to 2.05 length in a Harbor Freight circular saw. Then I anneal the cases, lubricate well, and run them through the CH-4D...

I use mine all the time while hunting in a blind, going to and from, and of all things as a reading light in the dark. Mine has the ability to select red lights which are great while moving about in...
There was a thread about a bowling pin shoot, and it brings to mind an experience I had at St. Augustine last year.
It was at a SASS match and just to keep it interesting one stage we had some...
I carry a 45 Colt most of the time but there’s not much in NE Florida that needs anything else. If I know there are snakes around I have found the best medicine is a trusty 12 ga!

I have a Ruger DA, and have been trying to use cut down 30-06 or 308 cases with a star to hold the cases. So far I haven’t got the length right, and I think the cases are to large and stiff

I’m increasing my thread count so bear with me. I shoot the 9.3x62, 30-06, 223 and .43 Beaumont. Of the bunch I like the 9.3. It’s not too much, just right. Doesn’t kick bad, and is good out to...
Thanks for posting.

I Used to form 6.5-06 cases from .25-06 or 270 brass. Worked great. Then I tried some militaty 30-06 and I think I had a thick neck-to the point where I blew up the gun. Welded the bolt shut,...

You know, I’ve been experimenting with cast boolits, and have come to the conclusion that I can just use the chamber for sizing. I use the largest sizer available and shoot it. Works for me....
