I know what you mean about popping primers. What were they drinking when they came up with that idea?

Shot my M1941 "long rifle" yesterday and managed a 8" vertical string at 100 yards. Load was 30 grs. of IMR 4895 with a .268 160 gr. Hornady RN. The sights were very blurry and I could barely see the...

Italians are lovers, not fighters. That is, unless they're named Soprano.

On Friday shot 14 rounds with 405 gr. flat nose over 34 grs. IMR4198 and 6 with 512 gr. round nose with 32 grs. the same. Shot about 2 feet to the left at 200 yards. Cheap spotting scope didn't pick...

So far I've shot 40 rounds of 577-450 Martini using Puff-Lon over 34-32 grs. of IMR4198 and 405-512 gr. bullets with no problems.

I have a Cadet chambered for .357 Mag. There are some chips around the firing pin hole which allows some primer flow into it, locking up the action. That can be cured somewhat by using magnum or...

You can blame the US military for that, with their "suppressive fire" doctrine. Why, they probably don't even teach the recruits to use a sling any more!

My .357 barreled Martini Cadet w/21" barrel and adjustable-for-elevation-only rear sight shoots pretty straight at 100 yards.http://i40.tinypic.com/5eecfs.jpg
I'm thinking of obtaining some 180 gr....

Some years ago I chronographed some .38 S&W loads in two of my revolvers:

S&W Victory 5" barrel - 158 gr. SWC 2.2 gr. Bullseye 588 fps
200 gr. LRN...

Last year I used COTW data and loaded 38 grs. of IMR 4198 under a 405 LRN wrapped with masking tape to .470 and Puff-Lon to the top of the case in my MK 4. Shot 12-14" high at 100 yds. No problems...

I don't cast, but my Mark IV likes .458 slugs wrapped with masking tape to .472.

I recently loaded some shells for my Martini Mk. 4 577/450 using 38 grs. IMR 4198 and a 405 gr. boolit without a gas check. I filled the airspace between the powder and the bullet with Puff-Lon. The...

Many years ago I tried loading 20 rounds of 7.5 mm/55 Swiss ammo with 3G BP as I had a .44 Colt Army revolver that used it, and didn't have any smokeless on hand. Just poured it in and thumb pressed...

I have a box of 200 gr. lead spitzers with gas checks and my Garand has an adjustable gas plug. Might try 41 gr. of IMR 4895 to start with and a little Puff-Lon on top.

I loaded 20 577/450 cartridges with 38 gr. IMR 4198 and used Puff-Lon as a filler. It appears to be a fine sawdust impregnated with graphite or molybdenum as it leaves a dark smudge on the fingers. I...

I loaded up 20 rounds of this with Puff-Lon filler and it shot very well. 12-14" high at 100 yards.
