I feel for you. I lost my very special girl to a tumor rupture. It still hurts three years later.

Thanks everyone. I was worried over nothing. I appreciate the advice and will start with getting a .311 expander for my .308 sizing die. I'm trying to get a touch more accuracy out of that rifle.

Thanks everyone. I do have dies for and reload .308 win. I was worried, maybe about nothing, that sizing first in .308 sizing die results in working the brass more than needed if I pull a .311 ball...

Maybe my last reply was confusing?
I think I know where my thinking went wrong. I looked the Lyman die as an sizer / expander. If it is only an expander I still have my problem of sizing a 7.7mm...

Quick question on "M" dies.
How does the "M" die size the neck after it was necked up and fired? Seems it misses the step of sizing the neck down before re-expanding to proper size?

I want to load a 7.7 Japanese bullet into a .308 Winchester brass. These will be used in a Arisaka Type 99 that was re chambered to .308 Win.
If I use a 7.7 Japanese expander ball in my .308 die,...

I like period correct or close to on older rifles. I vote for the old standard Weaver K4. The K4B would look right to me. Older but still good optics IMHO. The older Weaver variables like the KV 2.75...

Love it. I did a similar thing with Quail in our grapes.
I love cotton tail rabbits quartered and cooked like fried chicken. Tasty.

I grew up in the Antelope Valley. I shot them, cotton tails, year round any only found worms in a few of them. Jack rabbits on the other hand are dirty for the most part unless harvested in the...

I clean the bore of my .22s about every 500 rounds or so. The only modern .22 rifle I own, Marlin Model 60, the manual says don't clean the bore unless it got wet or foreign material got into it. My...

That is exactly how most of them work. I worked at Intermec and tested the first RFID scanners. This was in 1998/99.
Our RFID product was for military use on weapons that were not laser friendly.
