I have a 425 High-Power in 30 Remington. Been in the family since new as best as I can tell. Has an old Stith scope/mounts on it. No idea when those were added.

Just bought a Kleinguenther/Voere K15 chambered in .243 AI. I have a lot of regular 243 dies and such and wonder if I can use a regular die for just neck sizing (doesn't look like it)? I was told I...
I recently got one of these 32 Single Sixes that was made in 1984. Haven't had time to shoot it but got some Federal ammo with it. No chambering issues with that or Starline 32 SW long. I don't see...

Like those old Martinis. Had an International Mark III, sold it and quickly ran across a Mark V. Keeping the Mark V but I think the Mark III was a better rifle.

Got a hand neck turner. I used to basically just clean up the brass. Took about .002 off the diameter and they fit perfectly now. Was an easier process than I has imagining. A little added cost and...

One of my best recent finds. Expensive for the 100% bamboo sheets but nothing like them for sleeping comfort especially in warmer climates.

Simply notes sorted by caliber and gun, I'd be in. I've learned more from Larry than any other single source I can think of.

I suspect right now that a lot of brass is being made to fill military orders for every kind of brass case you can think of. Price of copper is up 130%, record highs right now so if you find new...

I got in my Lapua 220 Russian brass.
Necks opened very easily with the dies I have. No problem there.
Flash holes in the brass are too tight for the deprimer by just a fraction (can be forced...
Very nice. Like the lanyard ring. If my life was depending on a sidearm, I'd want a lanyard on it. (-:}

If I ran across SAKO like that it would have followed me home no matter what it took to shoot it! Have an old .222 Vixen, SAKO makes a nice rifle.
I'll have to look into that USA version of the...

I might get away without neck turning as the chamber cast after an hour the neck measured .272. It will be close but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone set this up as more hunting rifle than...

I just got an older Winchester 70 rifle that was someones idea of a custom hunting rifle I THINK. It is really nicely done with a beautiful wood, trigger, metal work, heavy barrel, etc. I got it for...

I do shoot a lot of .22 because I can do it in my yard but anything louder disturbs the neighbors. I also shoot a fair amount of air guns. I have a stack of decent pistols and rifles but all are...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Have a few. I think the only thing on this rifle that hasn't been cut, drilled or reamed is the original target trigger and it's pretty nice. It sure isn't a collector but I'm hoping it can at least...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
It has been fired (by gunsmith) with factory 06 ammo. It is so close to an ackley improved it would be hard to tell them apart. Headspace is same as 06 so factory ammo can be used in a pinch.
I...

I'll say there is about 2 1/2" of freebore! Don't think will be a huge issue for cast but I also don't get the purpose. I'll have to do a chamber cast to get that diameter right. I think bullet...

I'll leave it as is. Barrel is stamped "30-06 PMVF converted by VARD pasadena" Hate to have to scratch that out and add 300 H&H even though 300 H&H is on my dream list.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
LOL, This rifle is a pretty early target. They were pretty interesting in some of the details that went into them. I don't get why someone had to rechamber it but they did. I'll figure out a way to...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Probably more pricey than it's worth to me. Got the gun cheap enough I can part it out if I can't make a reload and make a cast bullet shooter out of it.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I just stumbled across and old (1938) Winchester 70 Target that was a 30 Govt. 06 and is now a 30-06 PMVF. It just looks similar to an Ackley improved. It chambers and fires a 30-06 and the result is...

Yep, just got a first year (1967) A5 20 gauge Magnum this afternoon. Design from way back..
Looks like it's been shot a bit already, suspect it will continue to do so. It a Security Six, not a custom bullseye gun. I'd want to throw away every gun I own if I looked it over with a bore scope....

1968 vintage enough? One of the early Rugers in .222.
Have one that's been in the family since new (1923 vintage). I've shot it a few times and it's a good shooter. If you have big hands the slide can take a chunk out of them. No problem for me though....
