Actually, Montana Rifle Barrel Co., and Montana Rifle Co. were separate, yet together. Brian did the barrels, son Jeff had the rifle co. I worked at Montana Rifle Co., and the barrel business was 20...

When I had checkering to finish, I just used the same finish that was used on the rest of the rifle. It can be thinned a bit if needed. You may just need some stock wax. The Birchwood Casey stuff...

You will gain speed with experience. I was pretty timid the first few I built. I got to where I knew the wood would have to be taken out, and would hog them out in pretty short order.

Good advise. Tool and die knowledge will take you further than anything else. Doing wood work is gravy. If you just want to work on black rifles, little knowledge would be necessary.

I would start at the lowest recommended charge, and work up. You are developing an entirely new load.

I've got rid of quite a bit of the stuff I had collected over the years. That doesn't stop me from accumulating more, though!
My latest thing to do is to look for quality level wind bait casting...

If my boolits aren't frosty, I figure something is wrong.

This goes to show, keep up on your tetanus shots! I've known of two others over the years have the problem he is experiencing, from the same cause.

I used to hunt snakes to collect venom back 50 years ago. Back then, we could milk them in the field and release them again. When they changed it so we had to take them to a lab to have them milked,...

That's a Boone and Crockett snake!

Some of it may depend on if it is push feed or controlled feed. I could see a Remington doing it, but not a Mauser. Followers are designed for specific case designs to function in a particular...

The only gripe I had about using it, it also killed all the worms in my garden. That's where I get my night crawlers!

If you need to sweeten lead, this is the prime time of year to pick up solder at yard sales. I've gotten pounds of it, just by asking if they have any.

I think you have been led astray.

Now I'm puzzled. When I was at Rancho de la Golandrinas (sp), I was told that scene was filmed there.

I had to look it up, I was misinformed! Not the first time in my life.

"One of the movie’s...

Take a look at southwest Nebraska.

Look for a Lapage, they were made as target pistols.

How is Dennis getting along? I've not seen him for a few years.

That's quite a variation. Some molds just plain don't cast what they are marked as. Use a different mold that you know the cast size, and see if you alloy casts to the same diameter as expected. If...

I don't think you can find a national park that isn't crowded nowadays. Check your map, there are a lot of other great places that are similar in the southern part of the state.

You might get one of the small patch pullers. Sharpen the end a bit, and use tow or shredded rope
for cleaning.

Nailed it.

Since I enjoy all aspects of handloading and shooting, powder coating is just part of the process.

I've had bad results in changing out springs in the past, sometimes not enough poop to pop the primer. My best solution has been to dry fire hundreds of times while sitting on my butt in the evenings.

Same here, I had that happen too many times.
If your rifle likes a bullet started into the lands, try using a softer alloy instead, and see if that doesn't give the accuracy you want.
