I tried putting it together without the spring.That gave a clearer idea of how everything works. Now everything seems to be fine. It rattles when I shake it, but Google led me to post saying that was...

AZ Pete. Yes. Several of them. That's what led me to think that the safety should go in the forward notch before removing the barrel.

And I notice that the pictures in Numrich show the ridge that goes in the slot is relieved at a slant from the base of the firing pin. This is exactly where the cocked hammer, also slanted,...

One more thing: The slide will go back far enough for the safety to go in the second notch if the firing pin and spring and spring guide are removed. But not if the firing pin is in without the...

I just acquired an FN Browning 1910/22. It works fine except for one thing. The safety notch that is closest to the muzzle will not line up with the safety. It won't go back quite far enough. I...

Recently my cheap digital caliper goes from numbers beginning with .9" to numbers beginning with .8" and then to numbers beginning with 1.0" This is weird as all get out. I'm checking OAL of 32 acp...

A friend recently gave me an unopened pound of Goex cannon. What on earth can I do with this! I have no cannon.

I logged in for the first time in several years. You remembered my screen name olgandalf and my password. I would like to change my password but I don't have the old one written down. What to do?
Last night I made two rounds 8mm Mauser, a 22lr case of Bullseye (3.3 gn) and a 87 gn round nose for 32 ACP that I made from a Lee 311-93 mold and lubed with Johnson's paste wax. I shot one this...
I use a plastic soy sauce container from Chinese take out. It comes with a lid, in case I'm interrupted. But then I'm loading 32 ACP with a dipper made from a cut down 22LR case and a paper clip...

I've been reloading for my Yugo Tok and have my first successful batch of cast 93 grain .312 as cast. The dummy I made drops in the Tok barrel perfectly. But when I try it in my CZ 52, it won't go...

Brassmagnet,
I have limited experience reloading and I have a single station press. It is a Lyman Spartan (not a Spar T).
I desire to load the following pistol calibers and I would like die sets...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Just finished loading 10 rounds, same 78 gr LRN same 927 OAL, but 1.8 gr Bullseye. I'll try them tomorrow. It's slow because I use an old Lyman cast Iron single stage and weigh every charge.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Gentlemen, Thanks for the assurance that shorter OAL is not, in itself, a danger. I have read warning about rimlock, but have never had that problem with either my Mauser or my Ortgies. I gradually...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm reloading 32 ACP for an Ortgies and for a 1914 Mauser. I don't cast, but I have a box of .312 78 gr LRN boolits from Jesse at Tn Valley that I got for my 95 Nagant, initially for 32 S&WL and then...

I wound up on this thread while looking for load data for 32 ACP. I almost always enjoy coming on this site. I'm not even a noob yet--I only buy cast boolits and load them rather than cast them. I'm...
I'm trying to load 9x18 too. I've ordered some cast from my usual supply only 30 min away so no freight. Personal issues have slowed him down though. So. Has anyone tried loading squib loads with...
My Nagant was a Christmas gift, along with four boxes of Aguila 32 S&W long, from my non-gun-loving wife (!) After putting most of them through the Nagant, I've reloaded the brass twice with 78 gr...

I've been loading 115 grain, .312 boolits over 4.2 grains bullseye with good results. What how much bullseye should I use with 78 grain, .312 LRN?

Thanks IMM,
The 209s I was proposing taking a dremel to were the cups of spent primers that I'd taken the primer and anvil out of. (From reloading 16 ga shells with BP using the block and washer...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I'm trying to insert the cup from a spent 209 primer into the primer cup of 7.62x54. I have flattened the anvil with a drift, the way I do when I convert 8mm mauser from berdan to boxer. My problem...

45nut,
Is your H&R blackpowder or later? I have a blackpowder The American Double Action. I have shot 12 rounds, say, of Aquila 32 S&W long out of it that I'd bought for my 95 Nagant. In reloading...
