I've got a 24x32 heated work shop with a full compliment of woodworking tools, plus a South Bend lathe and all the casting and reloading stuff needed for 70+ calibers/gauges. Plus a separate 12x36...

I've got one, it was given to me 3-4 years ago. I haven't had the time to fool with it much. I'll dig out my load data for it. I think I used a NOE 150 grain spire point. Fun little rifle to shoot.

Gonna get my hands slapped for kibbitzing, the Lee trim gages to me are a superior system.

And more available than (and less expensive).

And you can make your own gages for "esoteric"...

Do a "google" search for "Savage bolt disassembly", you'll find a number of videos and text descriptions of how to do it. It's pretty straight forward.

Here's one:

And me getting the stink eye from my doctor on Monday because my A1C is up to 7.5.

You people are evil.

Thanks for the pointers on where to buy the brass, I don't really need the brass, this was more a "can it be done" question.

I was stopping at a gun shop this afternoon that had a nice 7.5x55...

I've tried multiple searches for information on forming 7.5x55 cases to no avail.

Is my google-fu on the fritz?

Is it the wrong phase of the moon?

Or so simple that any low grade moron could...

458 isn't easy to come by, push comes to shove, you can form from other cases, that's what I ended up having to do. I even wrote up what worked for me, it should still be in the case forming section....

Not once fired, but I'm pretty sure I can come up with at least 100 Hornady, all fired in the same rifle.

Let me know if you're interested.

Is it in the cool yellow cans? Used some 230P last month. Probably the same vintage, finding data for that was a challenge.

That said my 1976 Winchester freebie powder manual only listed 540, no...

What is this new brass thing that is being bandied about?:kidding:

Brighten my weekend, buy my stuff.



1) RCBS 308 F/L sizer die, $22, shipped. Now $20, shipped. Now $18, shipped. Now $16, shipped.

2) 100 pieces Winchester 270 brass, R-P head stamp, fired...

Nobody in SE Michigan or NW Ohio need boomer powder?

Somebody NEEDS this powder.

Found the 7 Mag, should ship out today. Still got stuff.

Could consider offers, just no live(or dead) chickens or special deals from Nigerian prince's.

10 years between posts.

And I thought I resuscitated some old threads.

Did NOT buy the pound of Blue Dot for $84.99.

This was at a gun shop on the west side of Michigan, I was on the way home from looking at the house my daughter is probably going to buy. Usually...

Bummer.

We had one guy at one of my clubs not be able to find the dot on his pistol with a Red Dot sight. You can guess what happened, he stuck his index finger out in front the sight to see if the sight was...

I bought an adapter from Sinclair when they were still in business. I needed a smaller orifice for the 204 Ruger. It came with an adapter and an extended clear drop tube with three different...

I belong to 4 gun clubs, each for a different reason. I've made great friends at all of them. Yes, there have been issues at all of them at one point or another, never anything that was...

Settled on 8.3 grains. Cycles the action, brass pops up about a foot above the gun and drops at my feet. I could probably up it a little bit, but it's nice not having to chase brass.

Started with...

Thanks for the data, I've already checked the Lyman #3, no luck there. I think there is a Speer #10 in the 4-1/2' long reloading manual library, have to dig it out. My Winchester freebie manuals that...

12.6 grains of 296 with a Sierra 1310 in a Ruger #1 is hard to beat. When I still had decent vision, 3/4", 5 shot, 100 yard groups were pretty common. Embarrassed more than a few guys at our monthly...
