I bought a late manufactured '94 in 38-55 BB. I call it a BB since the groove diameter was .3805". that was bad enough, but to make matters worse the chamber was minimum sized, or less. The smallest...

Go to Radio shack and purchase two microphone extensions cords. The ends should be the same as the cords on the sensors. Open the sensors and replace the cords. You'll need a low wattage, 15 w...

Call Marble Arms. I have 2 of the improved versions and 2 of the originals and they all work great. Surely they will make it right.

If you are taper crimping, and should be, back off a little on the crimp die. Too much crimp will swage the boolit down.

If you "can see strips of lead hanging down", your bullets must be undersized.
Have you slugged the bore? If so, are you sizing the boolits .001 or so over groove diameter?
Be careful not to over...

Here is a photo of a T/C 357 MAG chamber cast with a 357 Mag and 357 Max case for comparison. Note that the extremely long throat will still be long for the Max. That's a 170 gr Nosler set out in the...

I've had good luck with the Lyman 225215. You probably don't want to try to push a cast boolit too fast through the 1:9 twist.
