I started Mding after my 2nd deployment and after I got serious about detecting, I got a White's MXT and have a lot of silver coins, rings and other clad coins. It gets me out of the house and it is...

Way too expensive for .577/450. $130 for 20 cases? I buy mine for $50 for 25 when I need them. Still a good looking site

Before the interstate came through, there was a place where you, if you stopped at a red light, put the car in neutral, you would actually back up the hill. I forgot what is called but there were 2...

I did this a few times. Got a few pounds of weights. A relative owns a tow truck company and he lets me get the weights of totaled cars before they are hauled off. I totaled my truck and got the...

When I was in Afghanistan, I fell in love with the .577 Snider and .577/450 Martini-Henry and after watching the movie Zulu I knew that I had to have one. Luckily for me, I was able to bring home a...

Went to the range with my gunsmith yesterday and he could not get over how much he loved shooting it. You will too

You will love the Krag. I bought one and then started reloading for it. Shoots like a tack driver

Thank you for this. Just learned mine was made in 1939 at Tula. I never noticed the Russian Star mark until now

Work with Martyn. He can steer you in the right direction. I buy .577/450 brass from him and .577 Snyder. Always the best quality and a very nice guy to talk to. You can never go wrong.

He's who I use. Never had any problem with any of his brass. Always quality brass and service.

I've labeled all my stuff along with the ammo that goes to the correct weapon so my wife will know a little better. I also got them appraised not so much for insurance value but if she sells them,...

For what I reload for, Lee has always done what I needed it to do. I've never had to replace anything on them. Getting into reloading for me, price was an issue (it still is) and as long as my red...

I make mine using 24 gauge brass shotgun shells. Shoots wonderful. Yours will too!
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I, too, shoot mine with 24 gauge brass. They come pre-formed so I just load them up and shoot. I think 82 grains for ffg works as a great load. I can't fine my reloading data right now so I may...
