Though I prefer to use a blade, work made it necessary to shave very quickly for a number of years. I have a Braun Series 7 that has been going strong for over a decade. I've only replaced the blade...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
With the CB search function, I’ve found it doesn’t like single, short search terms, especially numbers. Try something like “45-70 light loads” and I bet you it will work.

Finished my long-running reloading bench project—begun 2021, completed 2024.
I've been using the bench ever since I made the base back in December 2021.

James, I have researched this same question a lot, because I got into trap reloading recently, and Cheddites were the only thing available in any quantity. I've looked all over several different trap...

Did you run multiple dies together or just one at a time with the pins? I wonder about denting depending on the number of dies in the drum.

To the other good suggestions I'll add the Savage 340 as a model to look for. Bolt-action with five-shot magazines, and can be had affordably. They usually have the 1-16 twist which is not ideal for...

I'd believe they're 5/8-24, it was a bit tough to tell whether there were 11 or 12 in the half-inch I counted (because the threads taper off at the end). There was no list of calibers but there were...

I bought a lot of swaging equipment, and have been piecing together what I can. I wanted to ask for some expert help after spending quite a bit looking into this myself. Here's the first pic.

+2. I get these when casting heavy 45-cal bullets in an aluminum mold. If I start working with a second mold, and let the large 45-cal bullets cool in the mold for a bit, I get bases that look like...

Resurrecting this thread because I've come into a set of swaging gear with one big similarity: it has a bunch of dies that fit an old SAS ram, but also a bunch of dies that are smaller and have a...
