I have a Pedersoli "Lightning Pump" in 44/40. A few teething problems but now utterly reliable. Another manufacturer of pumps would be great!

Thanks HG,
You can even make boxes for storing cast boolits!

I make them a little different but similar to this jewel box! Proper jointed corners and fancy wood, also presentation boxes for knifes.

I guess a Model 12 from the 1930's. The action should have thicker walls than the Cadet. The 12/15 had a pistol grip stock.

I couldn't make up my mind so I bought a 40/65, 45/70, 45/90, 50/70 and 50/90. Each is good in their own way!

I load a 55gn RCBS gas checked and powder coated boolit in my 223 Rem. Accuracy at 100yds would average 2 MOA.

I built a 30.06 on a GEW 98 with a period 4x Pecar scope and it is a ripper. Cost me $60 all up.

I have a number of scopes with post reticule. I sight my Mauser 98 30.06 with the horizontal wire on zero at 100yds and the top of the post is 1.5 inches high for a 200yard zero.

I have always used a pair of small sicors to put a nick in the cap body. It allows them to be pushed on hard and when fired they flay out flat and fall off rather than clog up the revolver.

I regularly bring 32/20 brass down to 25/20 and even further down to 218 Mashburn Bee. First I run the brass through a 32/20 FLS die, then anneal the brass, then run through the 25/20 FLS in three...

All but one (303/270) are using the P14 Enfield action to draw out top performance from the intended cartridges. Even the 303/270 on a No.4 action is stronger that the average SMLE.

The 303 Epps is a top performer able to send a 170gn Hornady RN at 2,980fps which outperforms the great 30.06. A perfect 'heavy hitter'.
