If lead does build up on the forcing cone, the Lewis Lead Remover is one of the best cleaning tools ever made.

I enjoy shooting my Dutch Rifles and carbine. The bores in my two as posted here are .266/7. The carbine bore is in very good condition. The rifles bore is sharp but dark. They both shoot well with...

I've been running NM MILSURPS ( Military Surplus Rifle Pistol Shooters ) for the last 28 years. The range is divided into two ranges in one. One is metric from 25 to 500 meters. The other 200 to...

A slower twist will produce a lower chamber pressure than a faster twist ( less resistance for the bullet to travel down the bore ). This in theory, should produce less recoil.
For double action...

Ruger .357: 18.75:1

The Wad-cutter only pistols were capable of very good accuracy out to 50 yards, both in rapid fire and slow fire. Recoil is very light and recovery time is almost never an issue.
The fired cases...

1ST question, No.
The 158 would buck a slight breeze a little better than the 148 grain. The big diff would be in the type of WC the bullet is. A Double end'er or a hollow base WC.
The HB would be...

When the 6.5 Grendel first came out, I jumped on the band wagon and assemble one. After some research i found that Alexander Arms clearly wrote do not use 7.62x39 military brass when reloading this...

I too cast the little bullets. I spend more time culling the poorly cast bullets than reloading them!

I reload the .25 ACP cartridge a lot. I use a Dillon 450 progressive press and a RCBS Little Dandy rotor powder measure with proper rotor for the light loads of Bullseye, Unique or 231. I use a Lyman...

Very nice indeed. Did you do the bone case hardening?

I just cleaned both rifles. The .30-40 was about as dirty as firing commercial ammo out of it, a gray patch 1st time through.
The 8x56R 1st patch was so clean the patch almost had no deposits on it...

Weather here was cold,snow and windy at 9AM when the range opened. I fired the .30-40 Krag first using the above load and was able to find the zero and got several hits. Light was poor on the sights....

I've had very good results with 8x57 Mauser, 7.63 Argentine, 7 MM Mauser, 7.5 Swiss, 8 mm Siamese, 6.5 Swede and the U.S Military calibers ( not 5.56 ) and some hunting calibers. I've found that...

A great cartridge and accurate. If you shoot a jacketed bullet in the future, be aware the 7.62x39 military case is not the same as the Alexander Arms designed 6.5 Grendel case and pressures can be...

I developed two more loads using IMR-7383 RAD-73 surplus powder.
1896 Springfield .30-40 Krag rifle with Hornandy 168 grain FMJ National Match with Remington LR primer. 45 grains of powder. 100%...

I will be shooting the rifle at 500 meters this Saturday using 185 grain HPBT as well as 220 grain RNFB bullets. Should be interesting.

I got my first Enfield rifle, a No4 Mk1 in 1965 for 17 bucks from a friend. I still have it. It is in NRA very good condition but has never been a great shooter.
Head spacing off of the shoulder...

While I am not an Enfield expert I do have a large collection of Enfield rifles and carbines. Does you rifle have the brass pin going from L to R though the stock? In front of the Magazine well?
If...

We were allowed three sighter shots at a 12x10" target then 20 rounds at NRA High-Power Chicken Silhouette AR500 steel targets. All set at 200 meters and shot off-hand.
There were AR-15's, an AK 47,...

The new Krag bolt body showed up today! Was not supposed to be here until Saturday....Happy dance.
The new bolt is nice and tight on my re-loads and fired cases show no signs of any stretching!...

I went to a local range today before the wind kicked up and tried my loads at 15 yards. I was very pleased with how well the revolver shot with my posted re-loads.
I did try it art 25 yards but the...

I have to neck size only my belted-magnums as well. Same problem.
An ideal solution would be to hydraulically expand the new cases into a clone chamber.

I pulled out my Enfield "Jungle Carbine" that I bought 30 years ago. It is in very good condition but has an issue. When firing commercial .303 Britt ammo, you will get case head separations.( it is...

I too have seen Enfield rifles with perfect head spacing on the rim and shoulders so far forward that they are not safe to shoot with commercial ammunition.
I have a No1 MkIII sporter that had a...
