I have the Bassett picatinny low mount and I like it.
Rock solid. Easy on, easy off and holds zero.

There's quite a bit of info on site for 30 carbine loads if you do a search.
I'm shooting lee 309-120-r boolit gas checked with enough H110/296 to get 1800 fps.
TAC 1 for lube with good accuracy,...

Yes they are.
Make sure it's unloaded, rack the slide back, unscrew the magazine cap, swap barrels.
Piece of cake.

I've got a cheap set of stamps like this.
WW = Wheel Weights
PBP = Lead Pipe
RS = Range Scrap
Etc.
However you stamp it, it only needs to mean something to you.

I got my NIB M1A Loaded last spring and immediately bought rcbs regular dies (green box). Rounds would not eject. Had to use a rubber mallet to eject brass. Did some research and bought rcbs small...

Agree with 110/296. My IBM is 100% reliable with that and the lee 120 gr.
I get a lot of dented brass just like yours. They have all reloaded and re-shot just fine.
That gun is a lot of fun with...

Congratulations to your young man!
That's quite an accomplishment.
The son of a coworker is almost done with the process and there's a lot to it.
Nice!
How far did you have to trim your brass back to get the round to chamber?
I was thinking about cutting the throat deeper but would like to avoid that.

I had big plans to get my first cast boolit kill this past season with my 1917 Enfield but all I got was this picture. Drat.

Bowhunter, Do you get better groups with jacketed in your model 8?
1 1/2" at 50 yds is about all the better mine does with jacketed.
I bought the rcbs 35-200 mold to see if I can tighten my groups...

I shoot the lee 170 gr fn in my K31 sized to .309
It chambers and cycles without a problem.

7.62 x 39 might just work fine.
A friend I hunt with, his son, is not a very big kid. He was less than 100 lbs when he finally was old enough to hunt, so his dad chose an SKS for him in 7.62 x...

I have modine gas heat in my shop but in hind site I wish I would have put in hydronic heat. The modine blows dust around and if you paint it does cause problems. A friend of mine has a wood...

One of my hunting partners refers to his 06 as "Betty Lou", but he also refers to his insurance policy as "zero comprehension".

CZ52 with chrome finish.
Looks kind of cool in a really ugly way.
I kind of like the 7.62x25 cartridge but I can't hit anything with that gun.
It is by far the most uncomfortable gun to shoot that...

I've been using Lee's 175 gr tumble lube with LLA (lee liquid alox). Mold is TL401-175-SWC. I casted up a couple hundred of these last night and have shot 1,000s of these through my .40 High Power....

Just had mine tested for work and is 4 mcg/dl, normal range is 0-9
That is down from 8 mcg/dl last year at this time.
I just started casting early last year and it's good to see the level actually...

I prefer the heart and lung shot whenever I can get it. It's pretty thick where I hunt and I prefer to give myself the best chance.

I have the Bassett low picatinny and really like it. It's easy on and easy off. So far it has held zero and retains zero after putting it back on.

Me: It's an investment.
Wife: So are diamonds.
So far the gun to diamond ratio is very healthy.

I give mine a squirt with WD40, size, quick towel dry then dip lube.
It seems to work OK but I'm interested in what others are doing.
