I used a tubing cutter.

Older than last time.

Mine is a bevel base and a base pour. It makes excellent bullets.

There should be serial numbers on the crane (yoke) and extractor. The number on the crane is on the surface facing the cylinder. It is hard to see with the gun assembled. The one on the extractor is...

I've never used Trail Boss, but had good results with 2.7 gr. of Bullseye and an H&G #78. The empties fell at my feet except for the few that landed on my trigger finger. Very low recoil and...

It looks like they are still in Texas: http://www.troupsystems.com/mauser45kits.htm

I use the RCBS 148 gr. WC which is similar to the one you are using. I use a Lyman 450 and run the boolit in far enough to lube the bottom ring, and I don't worry about the nose of the boolit that...

I'm about a month into my tenth year with a C&R license. I have been inspected by the ATF once; otherwise no interactions with the Feds at all. As long as your records are in order an inspection...

I'd score it a 50-1x. The double is at 6 o'clock.

I'll second this one. It works well for me in .30-06, .308, and .30-30.

The NRA answered that question many years ago. I'm doing this from memory so I may not get all the details right, but the overall result is basically correct. They used an M14 and fired strings of...

I have a TC Renegade in .54. I use .530 round balls and 80 to 120 grains of black powder. I've never used any of the BP substitutes. With Wonderlube on the patches I can shoot as much as I want...

A new book on the Battle of the Little Bighorn is A Terrible Glory by James Donovan. I'm not any kind of an expert on the battle, but this one is a good read. I visited the battlefield in 2004 an...

Firing with the sun at my back I've seen gas-checked .38s going down range. They looked a lot like tracers. I've also seen .22 long rifle bullets when the light was right and shooting against a...

From an 1898 .30 WCF: .706 muzzle, and .840 breech (26" barrel)

[QUOTE=4570guy;429466]I figure stuck cases are sort of like gear up landings and chronographs with bullet holes in them -- there are those who have and those who will (I'm still in the latter...

I had the same thing happen to me many years ago. I had washed the cases and thought they had dried long enough (overnight as I recall). The primer pockets were dry anyway.
When I went to the...

Try a bronze bore brush pushed in from the breech end into the case neck and then pulled out. If the case isn't badly stuck it should come right out. I also found that a .30-06 broken shell...

You might be thinking of the .303 British which started out as a black powder round. It was loaded with compressed black powder before the case was necked down. The .30 WCF (also known as the...

Do you mean one of these?

I made this one. I don't know of anyone making them for sale.

You will need to experiment. Start at the recommended starting load and keep reducing the charge weight. When you get to the point where it doesn't operate the action go back up to the previous...

7.62 NATO is 50,000 c.u.p. .308 Win. is 52,000 c.u.p.

Try the range lead as is before you add tin or antimony. I've been using it for quite a while and it works fine in my .45s and .38s without adding anything. Boolits don't have to be hard to work...

I've had good results with an H&G #130 in my Glock 30. There have been no failures to feed or eject with 3.7 gr. of Bullseye and the empties don't go far. I've tries it with up to 4.5 gr. but the...

I put the bullets on a paper towel and use a heat gun to melt the lube. It takes only a couple of minutes to, and then throw the towel in the trash. Just my 2¢.
