Choreographed? :bigsmyl2:

I lost my BSM ribbon in my last move. Luckily I still have the orders, certificate, and it's on my DD214. I hope to find it someday in a random cardboard box in the garage or attic.

The Bronze Star Medal is not branch specific.

I'm a noob machinist but I bet I could figure that out. It will be a fun little lathe project.

Thanks, Dinny

The reamer cut my chamber like a hot knife through butter. It's sharp and the flutes are wide enough chips don't bind up.

My barrel is twisted 1:10".

Did you ever find a crimp die that worked...

I am refreshing an old thread now that I have stubbed a 30cal barrel onto my H&R and chambered it 30 Badger. I'm enjoying the past conversations and appreciate having this data available.

Thanks,...

Powdercoat your lead bullets with a copper or gold colored powder. :kidding::kidding:

Those Barnes 31112 bullets are solid shooters and excellent killers. I use LVR powder for them in my 35 Rem....

I killed bucks back in 2008 and 2009 with mine. 225gr Barnes XPB and 335gr Cast performance WFN did a number on them. The 45 Colt is an outstanding deer cartridge as long as one maintains their range.

Ray,
Lots of good advice here!

That's what I'm waiting for. It's so boring killing animals with the same old Hornady 180gr SSPB, 200gr Rem RNCL, and 180gr Speer HCFN bullets. ;)

Pure lead bullets were used effectively for a long, long time before any of us walked this planet. Let the weight and length of the bullet do their job and kill with authority - period, plain, and...

This reminds me of a movie quote, "Did you use enough dynamite there Butch?" Good shooting! I enjoyed the taste of the German Roe deer I shot years ago.

Thanks, Dinny

I traded for a smoothbore slug barrel for my Winchester 1200 many years ago. The barrel reads Winchester Model 1300 Ranger 20 GA 2 3/4 & 3" on the first line. Under that is Made in New Haven CONN USA...

Why do you apply more than one coating? Could it be applied using the dry tumble method?

Thanks, Dinny

I'd shoot PC last. It may help clean the barrel. I see no reason to clean in between the two types unless leading is present.

The last gun show I went to was quite literally THE LAST ONE I will ever go to. I asked one old codger if he had any more of the Hornady 100gr 6.5 SP bullets under the table. He said, no. Then he...

Phillips Machinist app works well for me.

Thanks, Dinny

The non-Accutrigger triggers have a rear screw that can be tightened down too much and the safety won't slide easily. I'd check that after a thorough cleaning.

Thanks, Dinny

52-53gr of IMR 4064 and any 150gr bullet
57-58gr IMR 4350 and any 165gr bullet

If your gun doesn't shoot one of those into tight groups, get a new rifle.

My 22" Pre 64 custom M70 gets 90-100...

To answer your questions, yes, your handgun bullets or 35 caliber rifle bullets of appropriate shape and weight can be used in the 35 Remington. You'll likely find that bullets weighing 180-200...

Sam,
It's good to see both of you healthy and hunting deer. Send my congrats to your bride.

Thanks, Dinny

Tony,
IIRC, that was back around 2013/2014. My process has improved greatly. I turn out some really good PC bullets nowadays.

All the best,

Adam

Another M71 348 Win fan here! I have a short tonne of cast bullets for mine. Before I bought my first 348 mold, I would get bullets from Ed at Maplewood Bullets.

I tumble mine in a plastic container with only powder in the container (no BBs). Then I pour the powder/bullet mix into a 6x9 powdercoated drawer organizer from BB&B. I pour over a larger plastic...

He's out of ICU and being told he's doing well. He doesn't feel so hot but he knows it takes time.
