Hi Bazoo,
That's a kind offer you make, you never know, I might take you up on it at some time. Ordering dies and such here for odd calibres is a real journey into the unknown. I recently purchased...

Hi,
Living in Australia, I have had good service from RCBS and Redding, but very poor from Lyman. Both Redding and RCBS have replaced lost or damaged parts at no cost, including a complete black...

Hi,
Mine arrived this morning. It certainly is as good as my previous Mihec moulds.
Now I just have to wait for some cool weather to try it out. 35deg Celcius and 65-95% humidity make it a little...

Hi,
I'm going through the same process with a 16bore rifle at the moment using black powder loads and brass cases. I had thought of trying a patched ball load in it. How do you load the patched ball...

What's the possibility of getting another group buy going on this one? Has anybody used it in a 9.3x74 double rifle? How did it regulate?
Thanks

Thanks all involved.
I know David, and he is a nice guy. Not only that, but he is also a pretty good shot.

Husqvarna used FN actions for their sporter rifles after the WW2. I have just sold one made in the early 50's. Yours looks to be unmolested.

Hi Oyeboten,

Hi Chilmonty,
As we can't get these down here in Australia, how about getting it and sending down to me? Quite happy to pay a handling fee.

Hi LEALLC,
Have you actually loaded this recipe and tried it? I tried these with BP and managed to blow the centre out of the wadcutters leaving a sleeve of lead in the bore.

Hi All,
I have used a fired case as a neck flarer at times. In the 7.62x54 a .243 case would work. Just invert it in the neck of the larger case and a light tap does the job nicely until you manage...
