    Bigslug...LOL....a rifle named Job. Love it.
    My bore is so bad, I think cast is a forlorn hope at best. If I can get jacketed to perform to some degree of accuracy, I might try cast.

    Thanks, I noticed the wide chamber mouth and had hoped by using GI '06 brass at .473 instead of 7x57 at .470 I would get away without case head ruptures. Maybe I'll even have to go to 6.5 Swede brass...

    Thanks for the comeback.
    No, no, I had no intention of pushing pressures up. I just quoted the 50K as an indicator of the action's steel and design strength. With our modern powders and published...
  4. Opinions on loading for Rem Rolling Block, 7x57

    A late production Roller in 7mm I have acquired recently needs now to be shot. I guess it is a late one, "Remington Arms, pat date 1901", Frank DeHaas says that is late production smokeless steel....

    Pirate, I have some experience with several trapdoors and a thought occurs to me...have you considered that you are jumping from 10 gr Unique to 12 gr, you are going right through the transitional...

    I use 5.5 of Titegroup to push 180 gr wheelweights in my .38-40 Bisley, but best of all is the same load in 1873 Winchester, which turns in 2 1/2" groups at 100 yds...never bothered to chrono because...

    8x57 subsonic advice please?

    The price of .22 Rf has motivated me to wean the grandsons on off of their .22's and start them on centerfire with cast. I want to go with an 8x57 1904 Steyr Mannlicher as being accurate and goof...

    I'm certainly no authority on the subject, but I would be very surprised if you have a SAAMI .30-06. Some slugging, chamber casting, measuring, and fired brass will likely show you have a .303-06,...

    OK, thanks fellas, just as you predicted, the scrap was about 30% COWW and 50% old timey plumbing scrap.
  14. Reddish color (rusty?) on ingots left outdoors

    I was given a large quantity 300# or more of lead scrap last year, varied sources, melted it down poured ingots, put it on a pallet and left it outdoors. In this wet winter the ingots show a...

    The attack capabilities of a tender young grouse are underestimated by novice hunters. Who knows how many people are maimed or killed each year? So, I do what I have to do when in a tight spot,...
