I would think you could 6mm Lee Navy cases by necking up 220 Swift cases, since that was the base case for the Swift. I found a listing for 6.5 x 53R Dutch ammo yesterday, only $141.69 per 20. ...

Fort Bragg 1967 basic I was the recruit chosen to fire the M 14 against my crotch. Hold it tight, no big deal. We never did full auto with the 14, even in VN. I found a selector switch for mine,...

If by some chance it does turn out to be 6.5 x 54, I just bought a set of RCBS dies for that, hoping I could form shootable cases for my 6.5 x 53R Dutch. Didn't work, let me know if you need them.
Many,many years ago I got a deal on Herters 6.5x55, made in Finland. Had this problem, got a new decapping stem with the small pin. Still works fine, in both size flashholes.

If you can find any 284 Win brass, all you need to do is lube the inside of the neck well and run it thru a FL resize die to expand the neck back to 30. Works like a charm, and mine never seemed to...

I think HL has some old overstock copies on hand. They recently sent a list of such, maybe 3-4 months ago. Call or e-mail, they will fix you up. Nice folks.

As a very long time 303 British shooter, I will tell you that the post above on big chambers on battle rifles is spot on. The Brits had long experience fighting in some of the worst places on earth,...

Fascinating!!! I have learned something today! Come to think of it, don't know that I have ever seen a 28 gauge Model 12 either. Thanks for the info.

Good friend showed me a box of 28 ga. from his youth, long ago as he is 85. Western Cartridge Co, no mention of Olin, Winchester, or non-corrosive priming. Full box, slip top, nearly mint...

I have several thousand, and some that are new factory primed. Found a deal on pull-downs when I first got into the caliber. All the fired ones were shot in my Sigs, don't have a Glock. Will go...

Found mine on fleabay, about $60 IIRC. RCBS would make them, but the price was gonna approach $200, delivery time unknown but probably long. Keep looking, there are a few sets out there somewhere. ...

I just bought it. Been into Swedes for 50 years, never had one of these. Now I will!

239 mags are plentiful on fleabay. Prices vary wildly. If your gun has fat grips, Hogue or whatever, going back to a slimmer grip may remove the need for a short trigger. Factory grips are more...

Found mine on fleabay couple years ago, about $65 IIRC. RCBS was nearly $200, delivery date uncertain. Even a blind hog roots up an acorn sometimes.......

When I had my first 1911, as a kid of 12 or so, the very cheapest ammo of all was WWI surplus. Shot all I could afford, most split when fired, but it seemed to have an odd size primer, so wasn't...
