I just picked up a new carbine and I see lots of load data for numerous powders and I get the feeling that 2400 is a very popular loading. I have some 2400, but it is scarce as hen's teeth right...

Thank you. I'll try again. I was just looking for a clean carbine. I don't shoot jacketed stuff in any of my rifles, but if it is cheap enough, I might get a little for hard times.

Help me out here. I love milsurps. I have two M1s, two nice 1903s, and a very clean 1917. I live 2 hrs from the south store. I have been there twice and both times I was extremely disappointed....

He had a good time, I had a good time...I'll let it slide for now. 8.3 of bullseye with a plain base cast 311284 is probably cheaper than .22 now. If it isn't, it's got to be close.

Took my M1917 back to the range this week. I never got to shoot it, but someone else did and that was just fine by me. My son is 12 and he got a little history lesson this day. Shot some nice...

Outstanding is how I would describe that!!

I do think that my 1917 likes that unique load. And yes, having a box fan is a requirement at a range now. I will reloading more of this load tomorrow.
Forum: Leverguns
Thanks guys. I'll look into what you did. I am not at all pleased with the sights as they came. Yes, this rifle does shoot lower than it should.

I purchased a Rossi 92 in .357 and I do not like the factory sights. It has a gold bead front post with buckhorn rear sights. I just want a plain jane blued blade in front, and a simple rear sight....

In both of my rifles, the SAECO 315 is the most accurate so far. A 311290 will group very well. the 315 in front of 17.5 of 2400 is my go to load. It works for me. I would think anything in the...

Think I better hold on to these two....I'll take my chances.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Didn't look that close. It does have weight in grams, so not quite that old. Has a price tag of 10.96 on the back. Wish I could find it for that now!!!

Was given this today. Can't find the good stuff, so there are a few grains left in these so....what the heck. These cans probably predate me. It's been dry and cool, so it should be fine.

Bought 2 lbs of varget, 2 lbs of H4895, and 2 lbs of bullseye this week. Haven't ever used varget yet. Can't wait to try it. Felt like I was lucky to find this.
I just got a new set of Lee dies and have experienced the same thing. The way they set the die up to use their auto bullet feeder seems to me to be the culprit? I was not pleased. Luckily I have...

I'm jealous. You and Brian get to have all the fun and I am stuck at work trying to thrash out ignorance. I think I'm losing. Gotta take another sick day.

17.5 of 2400 is my goto load for all my .30-06 rifles. I can't match it. I'll post two groups I shot with this load using my 1903 Mark I with iron sights at ~50 yds. The bullet is a SAECO 315 HP. ...

Thanks dad!!! You'll never know what all you have done.

Here is another group I shot last trip out. 98143
Forum: Military Rifles
I must say that I had a blast today. The old girl will shoot like that all day if I hold her steady. The barrel is a high standard replacement dated July 1944. Nothing like a nice old milsurp to...
