I just came by a S&W 610 at great expense. It is equipped with the Loupold M8 scope and has a 6" barrel. Now I need to get some molds so I can save enough on boolits to shoot it from time to time. ...

I use salvaged primers and 30 grains of BLC2 under a 161 grain cast gas checked bullet to fireform my 30-30AI. These are good plinking loads, accurate, and produce excellent fire formed AI brass.

Short answer, Yes! You will need to shorten the 308 brass to slightly more than the case length you are seeking then anneal the case neck. Run them through the desired die then final trim to the...

I have obtained a small quantity of 7.5X55 Swiss and reformed them to 30 RAR. I am awaiting the neck reamers but I believe this will work really well. These look good but the neck walls must be...

Thank you for your help. The 7.5 Swiss cartridge suggestion is excellent guidance and I believe it will work nicely. M-Tecs has simplified my life.

I am looking to the time when Remington stops production of their 30 Remington AR brass. It has an original case head size (.496) and I can find no other case that has this size head. The body, just...

NObamain2012, Starline does (or did in recent memory) make 223 Basic brass, I have a couple of hundred. Used it to make the 357 Max AR.

I did not particularly care for the AR rifles but I bought a Remington R-15 some years ago. What I really wanted was the AR rifle with the 30 Rem AR which disappeared. I would make one but the...

Hey, the HS-7 and Win 571 were the same powder in the late 70' and into the early 90's when it disappeared. It was my favorite heavy shot shell powder back then but lead was legal for ducks when I...

I managed to find a 1# can of HS-7 and a 3# can of Winchester 571 last week. My pistol/shot shell habit is good for a while

Y'all may have covered this but lubing the inside of the case neck may be required. If the mil spec brass is hard/brittle the expander ball may not slip out of the case without extreme difficulty. ...

The percentages listed is what I was given, I did not check the math. Apparently the "Linotype" I have is rich in tin. I'm just trying to use what I have on hand. Seeing what I have in my stash,...

OK, I got my lead supplies tested and have basically 4 groups of lead and I need to calculate how much of each group I will need to mix to get to a specific alloy. I have one batch that I call lino...

I've got lead from several sources and I don't know how to make Lyman #2 with what I have. For starters, I have several pounds of smelted wheel weights, labeled as such and stacked. I've got a few...

Thanks for the info. This advise and opinions are greatly appreciated. One question that was answered and that had me wondering how this could happen is the very few that showed up that was...

I have been away form casting for several years and don't remember a lot about what's acceptable in cast boolits. I tried today and most formed well but I have a few that looked like they had cracks...

I too, have removed live primers with a u iversal decapping die or a full length resizing die. I've never had a primer go off. I keep these live primers to make fire forming loads. Never had a...

I once competed on A National Guard rifle team and I was acquainted with score books. I came across a used, and to me a very old score book at a garage sale. I still have it here somewhere but it...

My first effort was converting 7.62x51 blanks to 6mm Remington. Interesting looking cartridge way back then with the false shoulder and military head stamp. This one required fire forming and I...

"I had to break the top edge to get the bases to fill out correctly..."

What do you mean by "break the top edge"? I am having a great deal of a problem getting my moulds to fill completely. Is...

Joshua, PM sent, please respond when you get a minute

My mold arrived today and it looks great. It will be be a few days before I get a chance to use it but I like what I see. Thanks,

DH

Thanks for the note of explanation. There is no hurry on this end so work it in when you can.

Cliff LaBountry rebored my 1917 enfield to 338-06 many years ago and it is a good shooter. This I a great way to bring back a pitted or badly rusted barrel. Mine had been "sporterized" and there was...

I would like one in 2 cavity, .312 if I'm not too late for this GB.
