I do understand that the 30 carbine is not the most accurate or longest range rifle on my wish list, but that's why I want to get into the carbine first. I want to shoot shillouettes 100 yards and in...

I am interested in starting to get into military rifles, not for collector purpose, but to shoot them. I think my starting point is going to be the M1 Carbine. So guys, if you were going to buy a M1...

Casting accurate rifle bullets was the hardest thing to learn to do. I can do it now, but it took a lot of trial and error. Consistency is the key. Sorting them by weight and casting session has...

I prefer a 200 gr swc in my 1911s, and my 38 super likes the RN and the TC about the same. With the TC the bullet comes out of the magazine at a steep angle, and as it goes into the chamber it...

Swede, it should shoot even better now that you have it fire formed. Felix, I am with you on shooting the groups with more rounds. I often practice shooting 10 round groups to simulate one relay in a...

Swede, was that the first firing of the brass?

Nice! Those other powders work great in the 30, but if it ain't broke.... Really nice looking rifle too!

Gabby, I dont mind the recoil, and the 296 shot really well in my 629 s&w this past weekend under a 240 gr plain base. 296 is hot, but it was pretty accurate.

I plan on shooting it pretty warm. I kinda want the gas check in my rifle. I figured that it may be more accurate downrange due to the weight being lighter in a slower twist barrel. I am shooting my...

Just picked up this mold today. I have a RCBS 265gr that shoots nice out of my 1894, but I have a habbit of being unable to turn down a good deal on a 44 mold. Anyone have any experience with this...

I use Wilson dies and ordered the .059 decap pin from them. The Lapua flash hole is that size by design, and I have always been told never to drill it out larger. I cannot give the techinical reason...

Thanks for the info on the heavier bullet. Does anyone have any experience with a bullet in the 115gr range?

WW231 Best all around powder in the 38. Can shoot it pretty light with excellent accuracy. Also very clean.

The lesson....don't go hiking in Pike CO. PA without a great big......something!?! Makes me wonder whats out there that is older, larger, and smarter.

The BR primers are only worth it IMO if you are shooting benchrest matches.

Varget in my 308 and 30BR under a 180 gr LBT. I fill the case 1/4 of the way into the neck for the 30BR. I'd have to look up my 308 data. Unfortunately I'm at work right now. Finding the right...

Mauser 98 from the 40's. A youngun to most of the others. Interesting thread!

Thanks for the help guys! I am going to be in town today, and I will stop in the Hobby Lobby and try to find some black acrylic pigment. Only reason I want to sub is that I have enough left in the...

I have an Acraglass bedding kit and am out of the black color additive. Is there a substitute to give the black color to the epoxy and still let the bedding cure properly?

I burned myself pretty bad when I first started casting. I keep a torch at the casting station to eliminate any possible moisture before I introduce anything cool into the pot.

caseyboy,
Have you bought a rifle yet? :?:

I was having a problem with Marvelux making a mess in my pot, but it turns out the temperature of the lead was too high. Marvelux works well, and if you have a larger capacity bottom pour, allow...

The leftover lube will not give you a sufficient flux, as previously stated just a little smoke. As far as the lead...if you have problems with it, it will probably have more to do with the unknown...

OCD! :kidding:
