What is a JM Marlin?
Is JM stamped somewhere, is it a production year thing, etc.?

Since Hodgdon started selling Hodgdon/IMR/Winchester powders under the same marketing umbrella, Hodgdon has shown H110 and W296 as two separate powders with the same load data. The same for H414 and...

The Aguila 60gr was called Super Subsonic Sniper or something like that, it had reduced powder. 20 years old ammo, it could have been something wrong with the lot, or do you use ammonia products in...

22lr was available in spades over the last two Christmas seasons. Most of the non-expensive/target stuff ran from $.04 to $.06 at either gun shows or larger stores.
Check the "Sold" Ebay auctions for the scope models in question. There may not be any for the models in question, but you won't know until you look.

Commercial Mauser 98 would be the easiest IMO, as there is no counterbore for the bolt nose like the Rem 700. I've never seen the thread for a Ruger 77, if there is no clearance cut for the...

OP, which press are you using? I had issues with 06-08 LC brass and 308 dies in a Pardner press, they were still difficult to size in a RockChucker. I don't believe it was the neck, it was the body...

There was a guy on here making them from military 7.62x51mm, I believe he passed away recently. The 35 Rem base and rim are smaller than 7.62/308, so you either need a lathe or swaging die to make...

One of the 300 Blackout web sites has a list of good potential donor brass--if it has a .011" thickness after chopping for conversion to 300 BLK, it's a good candidate for 222 Rem. You may have a...
