Yep, 100% positive. I first saw, and fired it when I was 13-14. That would have been 1962 or 63. Grandpa shot a couple and I shot 3 into a big maple tree on my aunt's farm woods. We lost some of the...

Interesting thought. That did get me thinking. I inherited this rifle from my grandpa near 50 years ago. He was in the merchant marines during WWII and brought it home with him. I wish I knew more...

Is this for real? Talk more about this.

This is an interesting thread I stumbled onto while looking for info on sizing. Seems to be a lot of collective knowledge here. I think my comments, although long, do relate to resizing new brass.

Fred, just saw your message.

I am in central Ohio. Used to shoot at the ODNR Delaware range, 50 years ago. Then was able to shoot at home when I first moved out in the country. Then the corn and...

I would be interested in seeing those tables. Seems like there is not a wide range of powers available around locally anymore.

I have a Mauser K98 that I inherited from my grandpa. I have only fired what was left, about 12, of a box of Remingtion "Kleanbore" and a box 20 of military surplus. Difficult to find ammo around...

It has been years, 45-50, since last loaded any rounds. A couple years ago, I tred to get started again, but kids moving, remodeling houses, etc, got in the way of that. Used to shoot and load a...

I am getting back into reloading after a near 50 year absence. Family and work got in the way. I used to load .221 Rem Fireball for my XP-100 bolt action pistol, and .22-250 for my rifle. Since I...

Well, now I am confused!! I found this thread looking for loading data for my 8mm Mauser. I am getting back into reloading after a long absence. I used to load for .221 Rem Fireball and .22-250. My...

I finally got some time to do some actual work on this project. Just testing what I have learned so far. I worked from a design I found at Noe. It is not exact, but that is where I started, I left...

Thanks for the input, I think I have an good idea of where to go from here. Will let you know when I get some lead melted.

Hello everyone, some background before I ask my question. I am new to the cast boolit hobby. So new that I have not even cast any boolits yet. I still have trouble spelling boolits. I have used...

Don't get any on the screw head if you plan to paint or otherwise finish the final project. I have just always used wax on the threads. I have used soap in the past also.

Thanks for that offer, but the casting part is something I have been thinking about for a long time. This is as a good a time as any to get started. I am just trying to learn as much as I can before...

Hardcast, will the .326 boolit be ok in a barrel that slugged .326? I was able to recover a couple of the .324 jacketed bullets from the surplus rounds. They were lightly engraved with the rifling,...

Still looking for information my what kind of cast boolits people are...
