I'm guessing the full size CLA were shot on the 200 yard range and the other 2 were shot at half size targets on the 100 yard range. There was the 22lr cowboy rifle at Bradford in the early 2000's. I...

I didn't shoot that game. I ran matches for IHMSA and NRA hunter pistol matches and NRA smallbore hunter rifle. I had quit running matches by the time cowboy/lever rifle matches started but they were...

I went on the RCBS site. They claim the "legendary RCBS warranty" and "made in the USA".

Did you try the star reloaders site? I got one. It doesn't do small amounts of fast burning powder.

A friend wanted to buy my RCII to use for sizing muzzleloader projectiles. Pretty sure mine is the last press I'll get rid of. I looked for over a year and found one at the gun show a few months ago....

I have loaded that bullet in the past. I load it and about all lead bullets in auto loaders so 1/16th or 1/32nd of an inch of the driving band is exposed to take the brunt of being banged against the...

Shot SV in handgun silhouette for years. The only time it had troubles was when the wind came from behind the rams. Lever gun got going about the time I moved to smallbore hunting rifle. Does the...

So if it's threaded in the skinny end opposite the bolt head, than I'd say it's a cross bolt that holds a housing for like a trigger mechanism between the side plates of a receiver. Maybe a bolt to...

It took a bit to learn what was and wasn't REAL pewter. Fortunately I lived in a pewter rich environment. There was also the fakes too. So, like lead and it's alloys, I had to learn the difference. I...

So this is the deal about english pewter:
By the 15th century, the Worshipful Company of Pewterers controlled pewter constituents in England. This company originally had two grades of pewter, but...

Could you post a pic of the base of the bullet showing the sprue cut and one of your caliper showing the diameter, please?

This is my strategy too. Got the composition and liquidus temp (according to my PID) written on the front. Got a few more for special situations.

The biggest plus is you can anneal anytime, anywhere. Even in the same lot of brass are variations that give you different reference settings. I've got a friend that has a reference catalog that's...

I had an optometrist that was a rimfire position shooter from way back. He still had his canvas shooting jacket, Win 52, and a case of 10x he bought for $95. WOW!

RCBS most likely wasn't moving enough of them and saw we were adding the PID for temperature control. The PID mounted in the rear sheetmetal comes at a cost. Poor ventilation and having to add the...

Used to do some variations on the 30-30 case. Most had a tight neck chamber and necks would need to be turned and some were Ackley Improved. Size the neck down just enough to make a false shoulder...
All this is true with pure lead. You might try a rotary tumbler after they are cast.
