I did not have to disassemble my Rossi 92 to work on the extractor. I removed the pin holding the extractor with the bolt in the receiver . It will just clear the receiver when the bolt is fully to...

I do not think a 219 Zipper reamer will clean up a 223 chamber but you might try a 225 Winchester. Brass and dies are cheaper and about the same velocity as the Zipper.

Try running your 223 cases into a 22 Jet die a short way to start the shoulder forming. I used this method when I make .221 Rem. out of 223. ALSO I use die wax not case lube.

Thanks for the replys. The rifle is a cast steel action with a bushed firing pin and a pivoting extractor and yes it locks up tight. As to the proof load I will not be trying any thing more than...

I use a B&L Balvor 2.5 to 8 on My Contender carbines. The adjustment is in the mount so the scope is on target from barrel to barrel. I use a one piece mount for model 88 and 100 Winchesters and re...

The Martini action was designed for a shorter cartridge than the 40/65 so you may have to learn the trick of pulling the lever down as you insert the cartridge. I have a smiler action chambered in...

When necking down cases to a smaller caliber I use my .22 Jet die to start the case neck taper. the rapid taper of the S&W Jet eases the reforming. I only size enough of the case neck to start it...
Do any of you 35 Remington shooters use the Hensley and Gibbs number 74 in a 336 Marlin cal. 35 Remington? I don't seem to find a load for this combo.
Thanks for any help

The question is not weather a .270 will kill an elk it will. The question is how far do you want to pack the elk. I have shot several elk with a .308 Win. and killed them dead But usually had to...
