Thanks to all, Elwood/John, of Vulcan checks is sending me replacement .010" checks. Great to do business with him.

I got a mold for the Lee 155 grain 7.62 bullet and am having difficulty fitting my Vulcan 30 cal .0135" checks on, They are too tight. The rebated area is .284-5". I have gotten some on with a...

Are they leading your barrel.
I size them .358" for all my guns that I use this bullet for.
Perhaps you are shooting them too hot?
Hope you can figure it out.

I hate resurrecting a 5 year old thread.
I put in a decent trigger in my Saiga 308 and I have interest in shooting it again. I had a box of 165 grain lead bullets and have rebated the back of...

Yes take out and clean the piston, it is probably stuck. SK's live on steel case. To say that steel cased "brass" is a problem just isnt usually a problem.

My suggestion would be to look for a used Marlin 30-30 336. My wife picked up a Western Auto branded Marlin at a dealer. Was 250 or so. Shoots great. cycles fast.

My HiPoint 9 mm will cycle with 2.7 grains of fast powder. A subsonic and quiet round.

My 105 SWCs weigh in about 110. They load pretty short in 9mm I started low because of the limited volume in the case as they are less than an inch long. Setting them out to the crimp groove would...

At some point with a semiauto the chamber opening would cause as much noise as the bullet leaving. My bolt action Romanian trainer is quiet with std vel 22s

Most of my alloy is 12-13 BHN as measured by my homemade tester. I load for 40 and 10 with a Lee 175TC

Good luck with your project. My Finn has a Russian Imperial Eagle on the receiver. 1916.

Plenty of loads, pick your powder. The 9mm has to be made short for one of my guns, less than an inch. Takes some load development.
Consider a Blackhawk 357 convertible. You can shoot 38/357 and 9mm!

Mike, Are you getting leading with the Hi-Tec coating?
Lewis Lead Remover works great. They are available at Brownells, Basically they are a cleaning rod with a rubber button and brass screen.
I shoot 160 gr boolits with 5.7 of Promo. About a 1000 fps and very light recoil.

Amazing workmanship on that spanish video. Made with low tech equipment and great knowledge.

Make it a single shot. Still qualifies as a Derringer.
Loading no groove bullets in your revolver. I have used a taper crimp, slightly indenting the bullet. If you recess the bullet far enough you can do a roll crimp over the ogive slightly. No biggie....
40 sw Federal nickel plated. They crack. At least they stand out.

Back in November Wideners was selling ATI uppers with the build kit for 419. Just need to add stripped lower. The barrel and upper has a beautiful finish. 1:7" FT
