Thanks - not looking to hot rod or push the boundaries, i just like knowing the theoretical limits

Unfortunately mine doesn’t, or any that I’ve called around here. I can use some of my limited...

Anyone know what the accepted pressure limit is in these actions? Mine’s 1907. I’ve got some 103gr cast bullets, thinking I’ll start at 10.5gr of 2207 and possibly go up to 13gr

Thanks guys, they sound find. I run Lee for my 303 and I can’t fault them, although all my others are Redding/RCBS, it was more the design I was wondering about than their general quality. I know the...

looking for a set of 32-20 dies and all I can see is Lee (I’m in Australia). A lot of people seem to prefer Lyman or Hornady, but is there anything wrong with the Lee sets? Only issue I can see is...

interesting - that’s really good accuracy, is that 150m? Bit of unburnt powder is better than not being able to shoot…

thanks

Thanks outpost. What’s the heaviest bullet an original 1892 can shoot/feed?

thanks. from what I can tell - 2207 is 4198 (one of them anyway), if you look at the container it’ll say made in Australia. Either way, sounds like the burn rate will be useable if slow.


That’s...

Thanks guys. It’s as barrabruce says - no pistol or shotgun powder available at all for the last two years - our factory has given them up and only making slow rifle powders. Seems like 4198 and 2207...

Anyone tried this? I really want to get a 32-20 but ADI AR2206H (sold as H4895) is the fastest powder we can get in this country. Will it work?

No way would i own a BLR. Borrowed one for a few months and it was ok, didn’t float my boat. Had a mate with one that was a constant issue - horrible trigger that no smith would touch, timing issues...

Just doing this at the moment. After studying photos of Type B Oberndorfs, I cut the slot:

Cleaned it up and cut it to an angle to allow for the hinge to pivot...

Sounds frustrating- sounds like cooperlake is prepared to help you getting the pictures up though. Thanks guys.

This is the link I was looking for...

Im just about to hinge an original 98 floor plate too - already has the lever fitted. Would love some dimensions too… I had a bookmark with a great write up but can’t find it

I like kiwi shoe polish - purely because I have it. Used clear it worked well, then next time I didn’t have any so used black - worked just as well. This is with Devcon 10110

looks like you have some very fine actions there. That’s an incredible legacy you’re leaving your children - they’re very lucky. I’m bearing in mind my (comparatively) very humble collection for that...

Impressive work copperlake. What’re your plans for the rest of the rifle?

I reckon these are hovering around sun sonic/supersonic - it’s a very light load. I reckon my issue is too much fouling though - would more lube really help this?

in general, and higher loads I...

It has been suggested I may be putting too much LLA on I guess this is possible, but I did quite a bit of reading about quantities - put 100 ish bullets in a zip lock bag, a small squirt of LLA and...

Thanks guys, I’ll look into BLL and Rooster.

I’m not 100% on it causing rust - it could’ve been circumstantial. I picked up this 222 used and cleaned the bore throughly, it was blemishless. After...

I’ve been using LLA to tumble lube cast 222 bullets (Lee C225-55-RF) . All works good but leaves a filthy mess in the barrel - takes about 10 patches per shot to clean and if I don’t immediately it...

What are the legalities of posting once fired brass overseas - eg from the US to Australia, personal use to personal use? Can they just be chucked in a padded envelope and put in the mail?

Thanks Muskeg, that explains a lot.

However, I have taken up a cast Boolit member’s offer of a nice steel 57SME for a good price. I won’t have it for a little while but I’m very pleased with the...

thanks guys guys, I know in my heart you’re right - buying parts and trying to cobble a sight together is a mistake. Although i still wouldn’t rule out swapping the base maybe if I can’t find a...

Interesting about your binding slide - it does sound like maybe a thread mismatch but I would have thought that’s unlikely. I guess binding is better than too loose as once you find the source you...
