I have a low number 03 that appeaers to be well used and I would like to convert to a shooter. Is there anyone done this before and what was done.

I could use some drawings and or dimensions of hinging a 98 Mauser floor plate. I know the procedure but I have only 1 trigger guard left and I don't want to mess it up! How did you do it?

I also have a powder coat system set up but I still have the weather problem to some degree I have junked myself out of a lot of room. I work in a shed outside and wind rain and cold holds me up...

I have a 6 cavity Hensley and Gibbs .45 mold #130 and on a H&G mold list the diameter is .452 but listed next to it in blue the diameter is listed as .454. I haven't used the mold since I have to...

Never found aluminum to be abrasive. I make my own gas checks from aluminum and they do not seem to be at all abrasive!

I ordered a new one from Numric parts and it did not come close to fitting. My Mauser has a large backward swastika and the number 38 on top of the ring. it had a stamp similar to DI?? which was the...

I have a Chaing Kai-shek standard Mauser action I would like to use. But several years ago I let someone have my bolt stop assembly. I bought a stop from a 98K but no fit. If anyone can help I would...

Yes! I use a stiff paper over the powder, then the shot and the cast bullet over that. I just wanted to know if the total shot, and bullet column should compress the powder very much. On top of the...

I do use a 200 grain bullet over the shot. I do this in case I encounter a larger threat. The shot pattern is still good for around 10 feet or better for rattlesnakes. Some threats require a little...

I have been compressing powder in my shot shell loads in my 45 colt to get more shot per load. It has been said compressed loads with pistol powder is not safe. I load my shot shells with trimmed...

I use a shortened .410 shot shell shot cup for some .45 snake loads.

I used a 3 inch section of 1/2 inch steel tube with 1/16 steel wall, drilled a 29/64 hole in the end approximately 1/3 inch deep then sharpened around the outside edge with a file. This made a nice...

I finished building a PID temperature controller for my production pot. The first test worked perfectly.

Does anyone hunt feral hogs with a .223? If you do what success do you have with that caliber? I want to use a .219 Zipper and think it might work well with correct shot placement.

I have a falling block works chambered in 219 zipper and the cases stick after firing on some hotter loads. Not maximum loads. The head space is minimum like .oo1. Will very small headspace on...

I need to buy a bolt stop and ejector for a Chinese 98 Mauser. I also have 2 hundred or more 196 grain 8MM Egyptian military FMJ pulled bullets that have minor pull marks to sell or trade.

I have been pulling some 8MM bullets from Egyptian cartridges with bad primers. I have been using it in .219 Zipper and .223 with very good results. It burns clean and so far all loads have been very...

Yes! I realized my mistake after it was posted. Anyway Outpost 75 was most likely right since I do get a good pattern with at 15 to 20ft. with 8 grains of #5 powder. I'll stick with what works. I...

I have been using Speer shot capsules in my Virginia Dragoon in .45 colt using 8 grains of AA#5 and #8 shot which weighs 171.4 grains average. This load seems to be a high end load just due to...

Has anyone used 454 casull brass for any other caliber, shot cartridge or other firearms use? I am forming 454 casull brass for shot in a 45 colt which the neck needs to be reduced to 456 or so to...

I would have the same problem that I had 60 years ago. Not much expendable cash! But if I could I would get a Lee 10 pound pot and build a PID controller, and molds for .45ACP and .38 revolver.

I pulled bullets from some 8MM Mauser ammo that the primers had gone bad, saved the powder and bullets. I saved over a pound of powder to use in my 219 Zipper and will sell the bullets as plinkers. I...

It is a very good powder close to 4198 and 3031 I am using 23 grains in my 219 Zipper with a 55 grain bullet. I'm not sure of the velocity yet but the accuracy is fantastic!

I made a mistake when forming the brass from 30-30 once fired. I did not realize the trim die had to be bottomed (pressed down 2 or 3 times) to form the base to proper dimensions. I thought the die...

I built a 219 zipper on a K falling block action around 30 years ago and I made the headspace at nearly zero. I understand this is under minimum and would like to know if this makes a difference. If...
