JM Marlins are better than any post 64 94.
As are rotary magazine Savage 99s.
The 356/358 Win is a serious thumper and ammo is no problem.

Of course none of these contraptions is as reliable, safe and idiot proof as a well tuned military 2 stage or the older Model 70 trigger.
Gibson had no problem with the SR conversions.
Since we here shoot cast boolits, "standard SAAMI loads" are not germane.
When you complete your tests, pls share your findings with us.

300 gr cast boolit @1200 fps is a deadly killer too !

I've check my RCBS electronic unit 1000s of time with my Redding scale. It has never been "off".
I still do it but it's really a waste of time.

This is a fine mount. The days of cheap K31 re long gone. I sold my mint walnut one for $1000 a month ago.

Someone far smarter than I once said: "If you can't get it done with a 30-06, you're doing it wrong."
There was a reason Gen. Mac killed the 276 Pedersen. Too bad he wasn't in charge when the...

Still waiting for 35/375/400 Whelen on a 308 case with the same "stooch" as the originals. (please don't say 358 Win)

I bought this kit to convert 7.62x51 to boxer. It worked fine and is a must if you have cases not available in boxer primed. I just bought 500 LCNM fully prepped cases so I can move this along to a...
Thanks to Larry Gibson and others I bought the drill kit that goes in a sizing die (Lee in my case) and tried this out on DWM 7.61x51 cases I have a lot of. The Berdan in them is .217".

Almost pure, you can melt it and skim off any bad stuff BEFORE fluxing.

Wonder why a T7 would not suit anyone's needs (unless you need a progressive) ? Good enough for Sierra to load 1,000,000 rounds but not for a reloading hobbyist ?
But, then again, people still buy...

Looking for fellow lead shooters as well as places to shoot.
Thanks

4320 is not a good choice for the 6.5x55 w/a 140. 4350 or 4831 are the go to powders.

Squeeze em' down and they go faster ? That was the theory with the 8x60 Mauser that used .323 Js in .318 bores.

If you go to the Ruger website, you would see the rifle's capacity (cept for 223) is FOUR. That means 1 in the chamber and 3 in the magazine. Just another example of RTFI.
