I personally would like to have one for .357 mag.
But is there general demand? Actually I can't imagine why anyone would need one.

A Finnish hunting rag made an article some years ago. They tested what a 12/70 can endure. It was a Soviet-era single shot Baikal (yes, the barrel walls are quite thick). They tried everything like...
You are absolutely right. This is what a serious overload looks like.

Well well. If I would have to use only one bullet, the FIRST bullet I would try out is the Nosler Accubond. It is usually very accurate. Rarely you find a rifle that won't shoot with it. And you can...

Hyvää uutta vuotta!
The initial surface state definitely has a part to play in this. The rifle is decades old and had been used quite lot so the action was smooth already, as smooth as one can...

It is excellent coating for guns. The best.
But I really doubt they can get it inside of any kind of a die. It is done by "shooting" craphite particles at the steel part. As far as I know they...

Am I the only one using BOTH cloves when casting? :shock::shock:
That must be Redding. I have never used any other lubesizer but I have hard time believing the other presses would produce better quality.
(I really need to use the other brands at some point. All...

I would have nevvvvvver thought of it when I was buying all the equipment, but I think I have actually saved some money so far.
I shoot a certain amount of ammo every year:

Forum: Reloading Equipment
Here starting with Lee press used to be more common but it has changed. The reason is simple. The whole idea of reloading / hand loading is more quality oriented. In the past most were doing it to...

The best accuracy in my gun is with Modified choke... I have not tried but I'd quess it takes a sledge hammer to drive the slug through that one.
Compared to barrel steel the pure lead slug is...

What the heck is this!?!? Has someone somehow "infected" CB?

Here too it's not legal to load ammo for someone else. But still there are people who insist. Then I just tell the price of the custom ammo. That usually changes their minds.

Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
The Vihtavuori 3N37 is extruded but VERY small grains. Originally developed for .22LR loads. Flows like dream and excellent choice for 9mm.
The Vihtavuori N350 grains are little bit bigger but it...

Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Maybe the factory is using the same cases they use in blank rounds? That would explain the sharp step in the case.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I have noticed NO real difference. My theory is: with fast enough powder it doesn't matter. The powder burns the same even with stronger ignition.
