We shoot a cast bullet match at Ridgway every year. I,ve spotted for 3030's before and as long as the sights will get there, no worries. Probably best with a 170 or more grain bullet. Go for a max...

If the ammo company was really thinking about a good efficient 6.5 it wouldn't be the creedmore. It only out does a 6.5 BR by 175 fps. Even the 6.5x47 Lapua is over bore for 6.5. Probably a 6.5X47...

J.E.S. did my 336. I use a set of 357 Herritt dies. All you really have to do is neck size.

Finally got up the nerve to order a C. Sharps high wall in 40-65. I'm needing advice from members who have a barrel chambered in 40-65 by C. Sharps on the topic of proper bullet fit for the reamer...

I have a chance at getting a 1885 in 38-55 with the idea of shooting some BPCR silhouette matches (full distance). The gun has a 1-15 twist. Can a 38-55 reach rams? Not expecting miracles but would...
I use Reloder 7 in my T/C Venture chambered in 30TC with the best load being 29gr. with a bumped RCBS 180. I want to try some reduced loads for a 6.5 Creedmore and a 6.5X47 using 120 jacketed(forgive...

Put a Williams peep sight on and get the shortest Marbles fiber optic sight and install it in the front base that's already on the gun. Works for my old eyes.

I have an older batch of Federal 22LR where the wax like lube got hard and brittle. I dip them in Lee alox thinned with a little mineral spirits and let them dry. Seems to bring them back to usable...

I thank you much for the information. It may be foolish to get into this but I enjoy learning new things and it can't hurt keeping your mind working out new things.

Seriously thinking about getting a Grizzly gunsmithing lathe. It's been a bucket list thing for a while now. Just wondering what I'm going to get into tooling wise after the initial investment. I...

I often see 5744 and 4227 mentioned as replacements for 4759 but almost never see 4198 mentioned. Seems to be the redheaded stepchild of powders anymore.
I'm looking for a light load for cowboy pistol cartridge. I've tried TrailBoss, Unique,4756,4227, and 2400. All poor accuracy. Accurate mold 260gr. sized to .455. Also using a heavy crimp.
