I had a No. 1 rebarreled to 500 S&W. It is a fun gun to shoot and is great for cast boolits! I started with a No. 1H in 458 Win Mag, so I was able to reuse the sights and barrel band on the new...

I have had good luck with this bullet:

They actually have them in stock at the moment in gas checked and...

I finally got my Ruger No. 1 back from Regan Nonneman at Nonneman's Custom Rifles. I had him rebarrel a 458 Winchester Magnum to 500 S&W. I got the 458 for a price that was too good to pass up and...

Whitney No. 2 Sporting Rifle. I couldn't pass it up, it is in great shape but the barrel has been relined. It's in 22 rimfire and is an excellent shooter.

That's what I thought at first too. However when I examined the rear of the frame it has specific angles that are machined on both sides that are different from the rest of the frames. There are also...

Thanks Bent, I'll try a post over there.

I have 18 barrels of various calibers and lengths including the 7-30 Waters 14 inch and the 30-30 14 inch and 10 inch. I think the 30-30 is still worth having. My first Contender was a 30-30 Super 14...

I bought an estate several years ago that had hundreds of gun parts, partial receivers, and almost complete guns. I have slowly worked my way through it and have identified most of it. I have even...

My favorite is the 221 Fireball, ten inch bull barrel. It is the most accurate barrel I have. I've had it since the mid 1980's. It out shoots my XP-100 Remingtons on a regular basis.

There certainly is. I guess you got a tighter chamber in your gun than the one I have. I have never had to ream the 7mm TCU. I have been forming 6.5 Remington Magnum from 7mm Remington Magnum for...

You can get an adjustable reamer that can be chucked in your cordless drill. That's what I use. You can get a set on Amazon that goes from 1/4" to 15/32" for about $25. You can adjust it to remove as...

I don't have that exact model but I have had several of the Miroku made Winchester 1885 rifles. The bore size does vary a little. I only had one that was actually .376 like Winchester lists. The...

If you haven't already done so, I would adjust the FL sizer until it touches the shell holder and size a couple of cases. Then adjust the seater die with a piece of sized brass in the shell holder...

Okay, I went and checked my reloads and measured the end of the case neck with the bullet in place. I got the following:
7mm TCU with Lee C285-130R sized .285" measured .3055" (Remington 223 brass)...

One other thought since you are new to bottleneck reloading. How did you adjust the seater/crimper die? If it is over crimping it could bulge the case. Put an empty case in the shell holder and screw...

Looks like you will have to turn the necks or try a different brand of brass. I have formed quite a few 7-30 Waters and 7mm TCU cases and I don't recall ever having to turn the necks. Did you measure...

What is the measurement on the ones that do not chamber? The SAAMI specs for the 7-30 Waters is 0.3062" at the end of the neck.

Are both calibers doing this? Did you measure the diameter of the neck once the bullet is seated? You should be able to measure and compare to the chamber specs to see if you are within tolerance.

That is a nice little gun. I have some 357 Maximum brass. If you want to try it I can send you a few. PM me if interested.

I have a Levermatic 62 and have had no trouble out of it. I have not tried cast in it, but it shoots the 60 grain jacketed bullets quite well. I have formed quite a bit of brass from 357 Magnum and...

It's nice to see that the 243 still has a following. I bought my first in 1980, a Remington 700 with a 22" barrel. It remains one of the most accurate rifles I have. I have owned at least seven...

I revisited the 38-55 Trapper I bought back around the holidays today. I had bought a set of Leupold steel turn in bases that were for a Browning 1885 Low Wall with an octagonal barrel several years...

I used to use the Yellow airgun forum but I drifted away from airguns for a few years and when I went back it was gone. Does anyone know where all the Yellow forum users went? I really liked their...

Yes it is. It shoots a 17 grain bullet at 2100 fps.

Here's one that you don't see very often, a Winchester Low Wall in 17 Hornady Mach 2. A gun shop a couple of hours away from me had it hanging on the wall for years. I looked at it quite a few times...
