Forum: Swaging
To me, it seems like Lee should offer either style bushing as an option. IMHO though, I think a fellow would be better off getting a stronger press for swaging like a RCBS Rock Chucker. I have had...

As to barrel length, I have found that one gains nothing beyond a 22" barrel. The optimum length seems to be around 20" because one only gains a very few feet per second beyond a 20" barrel. I have...
I have to wonder if it will stabilize in most 25-20 rifles. My rifle will not shoot anything over 70 grains very well.

I sadly report that Bob Smoke (AKA Hardcast416taylor) passed away last night after a several month battle with cancer. He will be missed but is free of pain and suffering now. Rest in peace my...

I found this after a search, post #13. Hope it helps anyone wanting to try making brass for their 401SL.

I would REALLY like to see Starline start making 25-20 Single Shot Basic. Being a bit of an odd duck, it seems like there should be a reasonable market for the Basic configuration to supply the old...

One could use 250 grain jacketed bullet loads minus 10% and work up for full effort loads. I shoot a 300 grain cast bullet load in my 358 Norma. I started 10% below heavy bullet loads and worked up...

I have a H&R that started releasing with standard trap door loads that I repaired. After reading about others having the same problem, I searched for a fix. Well the "fix" wasn't really a fix but...

Watch out for the Stevens 44 addiction! It bit me without warning.

I have found little tails on recovered bullet that had no lube grooves on both sides of the rifling cut. It may not matter for handgun velocities at short ranges, but I have serious doubts that this...

That's one gorgeous shooting iron. It is nice to have something like that to remember a friend. Congrats.

The fellow that came up with 666+1 actually used it and worked with it a lot, unlike some others. I'd try it if you want and ignore those that poopoo others that want to try something. Many have left...

Listen to the nay sayers and you'll never find a consistent, reasonably cost effective, and accurate lube.

Have you tried annealing the gas checks before you install them? Perhaps annealing the checks would alleviate the loosening of the checks, but I don't know that to be a fact.
I use the hi-tek...

218 Bee brass is available from Sinclair International which can ship down under.
Do what you may, but 9.3X62AL speaks the truth. Instead of trying to make an undersized bullet work, spring for a mold of proper size at or very near the .363 throat diameter. ALSO, believe that a...

My friend defines "lost" as having to have someone find you. That works for me and so I have not been lost, only temporarily disorientated or confused...sometimes for several hours. [smilie=1: :-D

Although generally this is true, I have several firearms (semi-auto pistols,single shot pistols [Contenders] and rifles) where it isn't necessary. Try both and see if there is a REAL difference. Good...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
The simplest and easiest was to form cases is to get a boat load of 5.56 loaded ammo and fire it in the TCU chamber. Obviously no accurate, but dead simple forming process. I anneal all of the cases...

The trigger return spring can be replaced with a weaker spring. I found a spring in my junk that was the same length but a bit lighter and it works very well. There is an article on the web where a...
