The trick is .4641 times the diameter of the bore (or ID of the shotcup) to get the ideal size for stacking in threes.

Good BP lube helps keep the fouling soft so it gets blown out of the muzzle and not accumulate in the bore as a hard crust. When you get the hard buildup, it resizes the bullets and both kills...

That '58 Remington he is shooting is more difficult to clean than your Uberti SAA. OK, not difficult but more involved. It looks like you have already bought a conversion cylinder, but at any rate...

I am sure lobbying had a lot more to do with this decision than performance or practicality. When you are the only one making the guns and the ammo, you have an interest in it being adopted.

I'm...

Since Hodgdon sold Goex, all they have now is that new type of fad smokeless powder which we all know will fall out of fashion before long. So no monopoly.

How exciting. They have managed to do what Burris has been doing for the last 10 years or so with their Eliminator scope.

That new round is going to be incredibly expensive to manufacture...

At our club anyway, since pistol caliber levergun uses the same course of fire but is way easier to make hits, everybody went to that because making hits is fun. I did both for a long time but...

Neat! Nice find. The false muzzle looks like it is set up to use a cross patch. Two thin strips of paper that fit in the cut out slots. The bullet will depend on the twist rate of the rifling and...

Are they using the SPC or the new SIG Fury? The SPC isn't even close to a 7.62x51.

You are right, you don't want to press the fines together or you are making a rocket engine. Just like if you light a pressed puck, it doesn't burn very fast. But take granulated pressed powder and...

After learning about those Bartholow cartridges I have been meaning to try that. I need to make a mold/form for them first, then some nitrocellulose glue to hold them together. I'm pretty sure it...

I didn't know anybody was still shooting IHMSA. I was really into it through the 80's and 90's but everybody in Albuquerque seemed to give it up. I shot NRA silhouette for a while after that and the...

I bought a 336 chambered for 35 Remington that had a gouge in the chamber and wouldn't extract a fired case. I rechambered it to 358 Win, and opened up the bolt face slightly to fit. It runs 308...

I always crowned octagons just like normal barrels after threading. 11 deg. cut then a ever slight chamfer to break the edge of the rifling to prevent cleaning rod damage. And yes, 4 jaw chuck and...

Yes they are and you must be extremely careful while handling them.

The crock pot is the deal for making tallow. Just let it go until done. Skim and filter and you're there.

I had a 35x30-30 for a while. the deal with dies is to use a 38-55 to size the body when needed and a 357 mag to size the neck. Can seat bullets with a 358 seater.
Sorry for the thread hijack...

That's pretty much what my normal load in the Springfield Trapdoor does with the same bullet, and it is plenty powerful for anything you might encounter. 70gr. FFg + Lee 405HB gets the job done.

No gaschecks used in that setup.

Take the extractor out of the barrel, and try a sized case in the chamber. Where does it stop? Is it sticking out? Flush? Or down past the edge? As long as it's not below the surface too much, like...

That's certainly understandable. Scrubbing the bore with Scotchbrite on a jag for a while should work too, and be easier on your cap supply. Maybe do that first to see how it goes.

I don't remember, maybe 20 or so. That was in my Dixie Squirrel, not the Hoyt rebore. In that one I just fired it a couple hundred times to smooth it out.

When I did that, I used them for firelapping. Clean between each shot or you can't load the next one.
