does the shorter Hornady 444 brass work just as well as any?

Thanks guys. I measured the diameter of the necks with my calipers. I know that’s not a way to measure neck thickness, but the new Federal cases were a few thou wider then the PPU cases.

As far...

I made 7-08s from PPU 308s for my sons H&R single shot. They worked for 3 loadings. The fourth the action was slightly hard to close and brass was a little sticky. Not enough to really even notice...

Thanks! The holes line up. And it's a K. Kale. No barrel yet, but the action is a bit tight. It will go in, but just needs a decent push. The action is a little wider then the wood. But a...

I thought my Turk action would just need any old large ring stock. So I ordered one off eBay. The bottom plate cut out is a bit longer then my metal.

Is there something specific I need to look...

Admittedly, mine is a cheap one, the Shooting Chrony Alpha model. But it’s always been finicky. And it’s taken a few indirect hits, shots hitting the shade post and busting the plastic around the...

Back to working on a decade long project. My extractor ring broke. Having a hard time finding one online. Any ideas where to look. Numrich didn’t have any.

Also, how do you put them back on with...

I've fire lapped 18 or 24 rounds. With 400 grit Clover. Hard to remember I've worked with this thing for so long.

Maybe I need to use a finer grit and do a few more since it appears to get a...

I have considered that it’s not “clean”. Despite working a chore boy brush back and forth hundreds of times. Dry and soaked.

Maybe there’s still layering of deposits. Been thinking about diy foul...

Used nearly all. 429421, 429244, lee 310, lee 200, commercial bullets.

Same w lube. 50/50, C red, mix of c red and 50/50, liquid alox. Just powder coating now.

This is a 429244 in the FC. Not sure if that tells you anything.

FC seems smooth to me. Same w cyl throats. I don’t have much of a frame of reference. Slug seemed to push thru barrel consistently.



I choreboy’d it clean and within 20 shots it went from 2...

Shot a few more at the upper end. Loaded .005 longer. half were Win LPP, half the same CCIs as before.

The Win primers showed nothing weird. Shot those first and figured the longer length had...

Same here. That’s why I’m wondering if something else is up.

I’ve tried em all. Diff ratios of WW and Lino, WW and pure. Hardball and pure. Air cooled, water dropped. Diff lubes. Powder coat....

My SBH 44mag has always leaded. Always in the first 2 inches of the barrel. Had some initial success with powder coating, but it will still lead.

Back to measuring for the umpteenth time. As...

I don't have any primer drag. Unless that scalloping can qualify. However, the scalloping isn't touching the firing pin dent. If it is dragging, it would almost be like it made square/even...

Lots of great info! I was firing my SBH w full power loads of 2400 and a 429421 right before these shots. Same CCI primers. No issues there.

Don’t have my head wrapped around it yet, but primer...

Was making up hunting loads for my 1911 45acp, 200g Mihec HP and CFE Pistol.

Started at the bottom and worked my way up. I was looking for flattened primers each time and any other typ sign a of...

i have a similar mini, the 180 series. I love mine. Took a bit, but it will do under an inch at 50y with factory sights. could probably get a little better, but it likes them loaded long, and the...

I know where the dash is....or in my case isn’t.

Its stamped tradF. I’m sure they didn’t replace a character with an incorrect one. More then likely the stamp was damaged after doing many...

Does anyone have one of these auto powder dispensers? What’s the transformer plug Volts and amps?

My plug died and is MIA.

Thanks

Ugh, it dosent look this bad with the naked eye. Photo highlights things I can’t see. But...

My 686, no dash Tradf Mark;

it actually worked out great. i chucked the plunger up in my drill and used sand paper to reduce the diameter. figured the worst i could do is ruing a $7 part.

didn't take much, but now it...

So now what? I went around the rim of the hole w a needle file to get off any burrs. Still not going in.

Guess I can open the hole or remove some diameter from the plunger.

I crushed my original cyl latch plunger a bit, so ordered a new one And spring.

Neither old or new fit into the hole on the frame. Is that right? Pushed against the frame, there’s no spring...
