I found with my M95 steyr, it slugged at .332, so I opted for a Lee 338-220 1R projectile, then sized down to 334 using a custom made sizer. I had a mix of Berdan primed (ex mil) brass and PPU brass,...

No the same rifle, but same problem in my 77 in 7.62x39. It was stock standard, same issue. Found that Ruger OEM Spring is about 21lb, and seem to gain a 'set' state without much effort. Wolf springs...

I have one I just bought from a deceased estate. It uses the standard bolt head, no silver soldered collars, and the ejector is the standard No4 stud in the side of the action. It is not the most...

I have been using a 312 version of these in 110gn for the 32-20, made by a gent who has now since retired from bullet making. He also made a fantastic version as a 130gn spire point/protected point...

Nice old Martini Cadet you have there Jeff. Good shooting, too.

I have a No4 MkI converted to 444 marlin. That is the way I purchased it, alas, minus a magazine. So, it has sat at the gunsmiths for a long time awaiting a new mag to be made. On the up side of the...

What is the brand/build of your rifle Buckshot? I like it!
I am about to embark on building a 308 barrelled 7.62x39 on a ruger 77. A bit of fun.

I have loaded 7.62 x 39 with cast loads for a while, two that have stood out are the 314-195gc CBE designed for the 303brit. One load uses 6gn of AS30n (red dot) which runs at 1050fps, and the second...
