how would one go about converting them?

Awesome, thank you for the info. I hope I can get some good use out of it. ITs a neat little press! I thought it might be bigger than it was. Seems in good condition, but I m sure that guide will...

So I have been casting more bullets and I find that Pan lubing is a bit of a pain, and resizing with Lee stuff is nice but I love the idea of lubing and sizing! So I got lucky on Ebay and got a lyman...

It is unmodified as far as I can tell! Seems to be in standard spec. So I will need to learn where to hold to get it where I want it.

interesting, I wonder how different the H to IMR 4198 is. 8 inches is a good target size, so I will hope to get a decent group with that. At least at 100 yards. It will give me something to go on. I...

That is pretty cool! I guess I need to learn what to expect from this rifle at 100 yards. What would be a good size target to practice with?

Well the only other powder I own is 4198. So I could try that. I am just hoping to get a closer grouping if I can. At this point I feel like its a bit of a shotgun spread. Wanna work it into at least...

hmmm makes some sense to me. It would be neat to consider hunting as it is something on my bucket list.

I worked up some rounds just to see how things shoot. I am not sure if the results are from...

Well thats good to know. I got the hollow point lee and the 500 grain flatbottom lee. So we will see how they drop, and then see how they shoot. I do wanna find a good round nose 500 grain mold. I...

So would that be better than slugging the bore? I heard that the trap doors can be weird for finding the right size because of the three groves.


Also curious on what molds you all might...

Well I do have some 5744 so I will start with that. I heard its good for BP cartages!

I have not, I am reading though it now. Alot of good info in here, thank you

Hey there folks, was curious about this and wanted to get my head wrapped around it. I recently have acquired a trapdoor 1884 Springfield. I want to do some good shooting with it, and I got the book...

I would love to throw my name in the hat, if its not too late. The generosity of this community is amazing! I have been on plenty of online forums and have never seen any other place come close to...

I will be sure to check out that book! Now I am curious: Gas checks? Do I need them? It seems the mold I got is not made for them, and I am not sure who offers a 45 with one (I am sure they are out...

Okay interesting, thank you for all the info! I have Marlin 94 I am looking at to get to match with the Ruger. Out of all the things I have shot, I found the 45 ACP to be my favorite... but I think...

Hey there folks, I was lucky enough to have Ruger blackhawk fall into my lap in 45 Colt. I have ben having fun plinking with it, and want to start casting for it. I also like the idea of having a...

Why would they purposely enlarge the bore?


So even today we have variations, so a 'perfect' bore is more of a idea than a reality. I just find it interesting to see what size the bore is vs,...

So I was looking at some interesting reading on Swedish Mausers, and how they have that butt disc plate that will show the bore info and size, and it was interesting to see the variation on them, I...

Fair enough, thank you much!

Anyone have any general tips and tricks for bedding?

Yup pictures worked that time!

So bedding it I think would be fun, any tips on how to go about that process to make sure it has a good snug fit? I feel like I might want to just avoid the barrel...

I have heard that they are not supposed to be fully bedded, but I have also heard that they do well with a bit of bedding work around the receiver and the trigger guard. I thought that it might be a...

Hey there folks,

I am thinking about getting a repo stock for my no 1. Mk III It has some small cracks, and I dont want to ruin a numbers matching stock with my fiddling. So I was thinking of...

Interesting, thank you for all the info guys. It gives me a bit to chew on. Its interesting to see what does and does not work. Makes it quite the journey! I might try some neck sizing with some of...

Hmm fair enough, I am shooting 303 british, and have heard they are pretty good at stressing out brass and eating through it. So I have heard, in turn, that neck sizing is the way to go to get more...
