Hi Everyone,
I have a 50 cal Miroku flinter that I've had for awhile now and just haven't taken the time to play with it much. Think I've fired it three times shortly after I got it, cleaned...

Hi Everyone,
So a friend of mine has a model 70 Win in 270 WSM. He hasn't been able to find any ammo for it, and brass isn't any easier. I did find some 300 WSM brass, thinking about going...

Hi Everyone,
I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but here it is. Keyholing issue. I am using a Lyman 311466 mold. This mold, for whatever reason drops boolits at .315-.316. What I am...

How are you sizing to .315? I have been looking online for a .315 sizing die and all I can come up with is .314.

I have 46 pcs of ww brass. I don't even remember when or where I got it, but I have no need for it.
I'm looking at an old rifle in this chambering, but haven't found much info on load data. There is info on the 9.3x57, but this rifle was probably built around the turn of the century. There aren't...

Good morning everyone. I'm getting ready to load up some 30-30. I want to try some 3031 loads in an attempt to create an honest 100 yard deer load. In my research Lyman cast loads list 27 grains...
MT, that's a good idea. I will have to remember that.
As of today, I am the owner of a single shot rifle chambered in 8x57R. It is my understanding that it is basically the same as a rimless 8x57. (have I been mislead?) Just wondering about boolit...

MostlyLeverGuns,
The rifle is a hunting rifle. It has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and is no longer original. I personally don't much care for scopes on model 99's. I think it...

Hi Guys,
I recently purchased this sight (Redfield 102L) for my 99 Savage. It is new old stock, but didn't come with any instructions. I have laid it on the rifle and have kind of an idea on how...

What about the ones without the half jackets? I'm guessing that the ones with half jackets don't need any lube. But the ones withoutwill need something. Powdercoat, or could they be...

Hi guys,
So the other day I picked these boolits up from a yard sale. There are weights from 110 to 180 grains. Some have these copper cups but alot of them don't. I have never had any dealings...
