Will do. The larger dog already has a split open head. The two small handle-like things appear to have been ripped from something. The two small dogs are the only items intact, so they'll go on...

These items were given to me. Friend said they were lead figurines from Germany. Hit 2 of them with a butane flame; the result is next to each item. Does anyone know if...

How does a 22 short penetrate that cranial plate? Different location of entry? I've been on hog hunts where 9mm did not penetrate the cranial plate. Friend found out chasing one into brush, then...

Thank you for sharing the dies used in your process. Definitely useful in the future.

Just as a comparison, to refer to those asking about the annealing: when I reformed 24ga brass shotgun shells...

Will do. Thanks.

Just for giggles, I checked around for original matching (mine's not matching) examples with intact scope cover and scope box, etc, and they're fetching 5k and more. Local shop...

Got plenty of dykem, so I'll start with that. I have different grits of clover abrasive, but realized that would be a mess and get in everything. The scope mount already shows the shiny spots that...

A few years ago I purchased an M41b through a vendor that got all the remaining examples from Samco. The scope mount and base numbers are not matching. The scope mount does not slide completely to...

Thanks for the tech. Would it be necessary to do that to pistol boolits if searching for best accuracy?

I have just begun to dip my toes in PC; is it necessary to stand the boolits up like that?

Web search "moose milk". I use it on the for-fun BP gun, and put some in a spray bottle for corrosive ammo. Cleans out the salts, and the Ballistol leaves some rust protection. I have a couple...

Thanks for the info. I should have better written the title.

How fast do you push that RCBS boolit? Another thread mentioned keeping velocity below 2000 with the 6.5.

I am going to order a mold from Accurate for something else, and I would like a mold for use with a M96 Swede, so might as well get it from the same place. I'm not sure of weight or profile. The...

Photo? I personally more enjoy plinking with an SKS. That was very nice of your neighbors son.

I haven't had my 12.7 Swede for long, and just began acquiring components for reloading. I just received some 32 gauge brass, and I'm working on one piece of brass before going further. Trimmed it...

Thanks for the info. Definitely useful. I was on Lee's site, and saw a 105gr SWC. No idea if a SWC would run in a levergun. Never tried.

Thought about using a 12 gauge and some 00, but there's...

Ok, thanks. I'll pick up one.

Definitely under 200 yards. I was thinking something flat shooting without the mass to carry distance, that's why I consider something light to be in the right direction.

Spring brings the coyotes around here. They're starting to come onto the land again. Livestock is in danger, as well as the dogs. I have a Rossi 38/357 levergun I had to grab the other day, but the...

That seems like a common suggestion. I've noticed the same technique suggested for a lot of 19th century rifles. I'll make a chamber case to include the throat, and go from there.

Outpost, your...

I wrapped copy paper around the slugs, but admittedly I don't remember doing it on the Enfields. Realized I had to do that on several slugs. Went on a "slugging" rampage in the safe. Results were...

Enfield No1 MkIII has a slugged bore diameter of .314, and the No4 Mk1* is .312.

Beyond my understanding, shooting PPU 303 ammo through both showed the No1 to be pretty darn accurate, while the...

Checked chamber with bore cam, and the portion up to the rifling is part of the chamber insert that was used in the conversion of the Chassepot to Gras metallic cartridge. That pdf link indicates...

I tested the chamber with a Buffalo Arms reformed case, and it fit. I can do a chamber cast, and I have a usb bore scope I intend to run in there to make sure. I once had an SKS that had a piece of...

I've seen videos of people fleshing with pressure washers. I thought excessive water would cause the hair to separate from the flesh.

Thanks for the info. I'll try the hollow base Lee molds for now.
