Also, it probably has a 1 in 38" rifling turn rate. Any heavier than 240-ish grain bullets will be a crap shoot as far as accuracy goes. An old friend had one for just long enough to realize he...
It means I am sending the msg. A holdover from the days of Motorola alpha pagers
good afternoon, I'm trying to build a .30-30 set of 310s for travelling use. I have the priming tool and a .308 inside expander. Looks like I'm in need of the sizer and the seater/crimper. I have a...

I'm inclined to think it was fired in a rifle chamber. If they were .45 Colt I'd have no doubt. Some of the pistol caliber long guns have yuge chambers.

Since you are only loading for two cartridges, have you considered a powder dipper for each one? check your charge with your scale, then just use the dippers to load

You may be able to fit an aftermarket buttstock with a shotgun butt to your rifle

Marvelux should not be used with anything other than a bottom pour pot. It should cover the melt with a layer of flux to prevent oxidation. If using a dipper, this layer gets disturbed and gunks up...
