In the italian version the text has been changed: Harry says that he use "a special strengthened load" to improve penetration and get better accuracy and the black haired cop tell to the blond one to...

Ooops! Sorry, I make confusion between Win M70 and Remington 700!

"...the Carcano does not compare in any way to the strength of the Remington 700".
True. Read this article: http://www.lasc.us/RangingShot19-2.htm, look at the photo of Carcano and notice that it's...

Here in Italy is hard to find IMR powders and VV make the big part.
14,0 grs of N110 is my load for 6,5 Carcano and Lyman 266465; 21.0 grs for 7,62 Mosin and 311299; 20,5 grs for 44 mag and GB 240...

I remember of an article (many many years ago) of a guy using paper GLUED on a bullet of minor size for full loads. He was using 44 lead bullets on 45 cal., 38 on 44, 30 on 38 and so on. He was...

Thanks Eli,
I'll try...

Thanks Buckshot.
Many time ago I've read the Mathiews's book "The paper jacket" and started some experiment that teached me that isn't so simple as said on the book to have a good-working paper...

Mmmm... I don't know exactly how much powder you'll try to use with your 8600lb projectile, but i suspect that your projectile will move few yards an YOU will travell back from California to another...

Buckshot,
may you tell us more about your paper patched 311284's on Mosin? It seems interesting...
(Sestroresky! Sestroresky! Don't you know Cyrillic alphabet, the vintage one ?!? )

Mmmm... I'll try to anneal the gc's. Next, if that don't works, I'll try to open the shank but am afraid to ruin a bullet mould out of production.
Thanks all,
Mosin9130

Denny,
I have got too an old Lyman 300136 but never tried it because the gas check shank doesn't hold the gc. It's too small and doesn't fit it. Does it your?
I've had success with the lee...

Fatnhappy,

My email is armcoll@yahoo.it
or, untill the year end, etacconi.consultant@unicreditxelion.it.
Please, send it to both adress.

Thank...

would be easiest to use 32 acp for 32 S&W. The 32 S&W is much longer than Acp and "fatter" (.314 cal. vs. .308 to .311). The shell of 32 Acp is semi-rimmed so you can safe roll crimp but I...

Few years ago I bought a S&W 1903 for a little more than 50$.
I load on it two boolits, a 88 grains wc from a Palmetto mould (an old italian mould maker) over 1.7 grains of GM3 (very close to 700X)...

Thanks you, Nels.
ASAP, I'll clean again my M91 with homemade foul-out and try to shot some boolits.

Thank you, Ben.
After seen the boolits, I understand the inherent limits of design.

Only a caveat with the Cz52: NEVER dry fire it! Doing so, I've broken the percussor's tip after only three or four shots.
My recipe is Lee 93 grs RN and 6,0 grs of N340.

I remember the Aladdin's project and the boring polemics around him, his project and his pretended experience (his detractors called him 'three rifles man' because his experience was limited to the...

Snowman,
the rifling is the key: the Loverin design bullets (as your 311466) work at best in rifles that have a rifling of broad grooves and narrow bands as the Springfield and Garand (the Krag...

NOBEL (former produced by the french SNPE) Sp8 is a pistol powder ideally suited for 9mm with a burning rate between Herco and 3N37 (VihtaVuory). A good powder but very very sensible to charge...

Ok, friends.
Thank you.
I realize that two errors have been done with my pot: it hasn't been cleaned and has been left full of lead the last time.
So, I have only to empty it (drop after drop)...

Lightning ross,
from the questions you posted (mostly the ones about the powder), it seems that you're at the beginning of pistol cartridges reload.
That's my recipe if you wanna fire tight...

If you put the die on the drill and keep at rest the rod, you'll have a concentric opened die.
Ok, I know, you need a very big drill to keep a die; best would be to use a lathe (still with metal...

My Lee bottompour pot is lying somewhere unused.
It's a gift of a friend that used it very few and next no more many years ago. When he was given it to me told that the pot wasn't working.
After...

Smokemjoe,
if you try to clean the barrel with acid, remember next to wash the bore with a lot of wather; better again if, after washed and washed again, you cork the bottom of the bore and fill it...
