Forum: Leverguns
I have several large caliber levers in my safe, but overall favorite lever is my Marlin 39A 22 caliber.
I'm wanting to start loading some 32 Smith & Wesson Long for my wife and grandkids to shoot. I'm looking at an ad on gunbroker, He's selling 32 S&W Long and H&R 32 brass, So are they the same brass?...

It just doesn't seem right to not clean my rifle.

How many of you have one? How is it shooting. I bought one over a year ago and I was getting 5 round 1/2" groups at 50 yards. Now after about 1500 rounds and 2 cleanings, I can't get better then 1...
Just wondering how many times I can reuse my 300 WM brass? I know it depends on how hot the loads are, but just kind looking for a general number.

Well the "Ground walnut shells" worked great after only about 2 hours, I've never had my brass look so shiny.
I'm going to use a little Nu Finish on the next batch.
Thank you all
I think your making a lot of sense. I'm going back to the drawing board. Yesterdays range trip was not exactly as I would have hoped. The last time I fired my 300wm was about 8 months ago. I was...
Went to the range yesterday, I brought my Ruger "Bisley" 7.5" barrel and my old SS model 57 6" I have a 2x scope on the Ruger but yesterday I shot it with open sites. I shot quite a few different...

OP here, I went to a major pet store today, The didn't have anything that said "Lizard" bed. They had a lot of reptile bedding that looked like beach sand?? I went to the second store and it was the...
Yes I mean OAL. Thank you
I've only loaded 41 mag. this is my first at loading rifle cartridges, I always made my revolver loads at the recommended OAL, with the rifle load I was confusing myself....
So then what do you do? Do you go with the OAL the book gives are do you go with the longer length that you measured in your rifle?
I guess I'm confused. I thought with a rifle you measure your headspace so that your bullet sits as close to the rifling as possible? In my case with my rifle is3.570 so I was going to start with a...
When I use the Lyman OAL gauge to check my headspace on my rifle I'm getting 3.5770
When looking at reloading 300wm Data for Hodgdon H4350 powder with 150gn bullet it shows 69gns. of powder with the C.O.L. at 3.325 to 3.340, my Remington 700 300WM headspace measures 3.577 So I'm a...

Thanks everyone, I think I'll try the Lizard mix. The stuff I used was a corn cob mix for cat litter. I can't believe how plugged these cases are, I soaked them in a bucket with hot water but I think...
