I made a mandrel from a round wood rod the size of the mouth 348. Slide the dowel into the case leaving 1" sticking out of the case. Clamp the drill press jaws down on the case neck just tight enough...

Making 43 Spanish brass from 348 on a drill press with a file is a labor of love. Being retired I have the time to make them taking at least 10 minutes apiece. Of course it helps if you already have...

I use Lyman 43 Spanish bullet mold. Shoot as cast with 31.0 4198 or 70 grs 3f & 7 grs red dot. I have not had any luck with 5744. All my cases are made from new 348 brass. Jamison brass is very thin...

I got my 50/95 about 10 years ago. I bought a Lyman 340 gr mold & sizer .512. I found right away the bullets shot much better when left as cast, .515. Opened up sizer die to .515. Rifle is an...

No one ever seems to mention that most of the blow ups were traced back to the poor quality of brass used during the blow up era.

I ordered a Marble tang sight for my 1876 50/95. After answering a dozen questions from the company I ordered it from, they still sent the wrong sight which led to numerous phone calls & the sending...

My 1903 was made in 1910. Government rebuild in 1943, rebarreled, A1stock. Purchased from the Pueblo Army Depot early sixties. Say what you want about it. Its a very accurate rifle, not altered,...

A local priest passed away awhile back. When they cleared out his stuff there was a 10 lb. bar of pewter that the old guy used to cast figures. I was the lucky recipient.

No, is aluminum.

Slide says P38.

Would these loads work in a Walther P38 made in 1968?

My club range has a written rule, YOU SHOOT IT YOU PICK IT UP & TAKE IT HOME !!

When I got the ammo an open can also came with it. All of it American made ammo. Thanks for the replies.

I got a sealed 600 round spam can of LC 52 ammo with the carbine I inherited. The question is do I open the can & shoot it or sale it?

Having shot a fair amount of UMC 45 Colt loaded with 40 grs. of black powder, believe me on a couple of duds I broke down the powder was compressed a lot. The failure to fire was due to dead primers....

Just as an aside, back in 1967 I was going through gunners mate school in the Navy. If I remember correctly the Navy conversion consisted of a chamber insert to allow the use of the 7.62 round & the...

Strange how times change. Back in the early nineties a LGS ran by a friend of mine gave me a call to come get some junk out of his shop. He gave me 3 Carcano carbines that an elderly lady brought in...

I was lucky with my Chappy 50/95 Express rifle. The Lyman mold I got cast bullets that were .515. So I opened my sizer/ lube die to .515 & the rifle shot very well with 5744 & Reloader 7 giving me...

I found that my Mini 14 shot very well after the gas block screws were torqued equally. Also if loaded one round at a time without the magazine in the rifle, the rifle would shoot very well.

A Lee taper crimp die for 45 ACP cured all my problems. Never had a problem since. Of course shooters at the range are surprised as I run cylinder after cylinder of 45 ACP with no problems.

I got my Chaparral 76 in 50/95 about 9 years ago It was a learning experience. The action had a lot of metal machining chips in it. Took it apart, cleaned action out. Works fine. I replaced the from...

Melted down all the range scrap into Lyman ingots. Got about 80 ingots poured. While cleaning up I found another 20 lbs. of old wheel weights now I have more to melt down. Before that I reloaded 30...

I have a large amount of 250 gr. cast 348 bullets & Reloader 19. Looking for a load that would give about 1900 fps. in a Browing Model 71 carbine. Any thoughts on this.

Me too!!!
