Longshot sure seems to be a great choice for heavier 10mm loads. I like it for my 180 grain Gold dot loads.
For my 135 grain Noslers I like 800-x. That load wins gets the massive concussion...
Cool, thanks George. I love that old Swede I got from you. Can't wait to load it.
I figured he was talking about squishing the boolit somehow to make the nose swell, but I couldn't think how it...
Forgive my ignorance but what does waksupi mean by bumping up the nose?

Stag is good quality and comes at a good price. I don't think you can go wrong there if they offer a configuration you want. There is a dealer on AR15.com "Legaltransfers" that has good prices on...

Both of my Grandpas were smelters. My father's dad would wade out into the Pacific and net buckets of smelt. My mother's dad was a chemical engineer for Reynolds Aluminum.
Sounds good. I've got the correct sight on the way and I'm looking out for a correct artillery toggle.
But I sort of think that 'bubba' may have been on to something with his modification. As it...

Thanks Larry. That makes sense. I am curious about your comment about easy to ignite powders. Is that a function of the shape of the powder? Or maybe single vs double base?
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Thanks for all of the replies. It's pretty eye opening to see that the published J-bullet data seems to reflect faster powders. Is that generally the case, that full power cast bullet loads use...
Had a great deal with HARRYMPOPE for an Artillery Luger. He is an over the top great guy. I know I will be doing business with him in the future.
Thanks,

I've got a bunch of the Lee 8mm Karabiner boolits cast. I used a mix of WW, monotype and solder that penciled out to 90% lead, 5% antimony and 5% tin. I haven't gas checked and lubed them yet. So...

Another option you might want to look at is a Saiga. The Saigas are real Russian AKMs that come into the country with a doublestack magwell. They get their 'sporting' classification by having a...

Here is a picture that shows a magwell dimple. This is a Saiga 223 with a Yugo M-95 mag.

They are at the bottom of the scale for AKs. Which since they are AKs isn't so bad. By all accounts they are reliable.
The WASR-10s are imported with single stack mags. They are either sold...

I have my compressor in the wood room and run the air to various work benches. For tasks that require a good bit of air it helps to have a tank nearby if you are running the air through small...

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll give it a go with a full length sizer and see how it goes.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I've been looking for neck sizers for 303 and 7.62x54 Russian for awhile. A member here said that a 308 Winchester die would work well for neck sizing the 303. So it looks like I might have 303...
Got a buckshot mold from him. Fast shipping and good communication.

An older tube TV might be one of the few things in the house that can actually stop the round.
Got a set of dies from Dschuttig and everything went great. I'd be happy to deal with him in the future.
Thanks again.
I've had a couple of deals with tomme boy and both of them went great. Great communication, fast shipping and great deals.
Thanks again.
I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Plmitch is an over the top great guy. He's one of those guys that really makes you fell welcome here.
Thanks again.

The Chi-com 20 round fixed mags are pretty cool. They hold the bolt back after you insert the stripper clips so it doesn't slam home while you're trying to get the second clip in.
I can't...
Brass fired in another rifle is formed to that chamber. If that chamber is tighter than the one in your rifle then you got lucky and don't need to full length resize.
One thing you could do is...
