thanks!

crap I dont have any of those other dies needed. Anyone know if any companies sell the 6.5X53R brass?

thanks! sorry if this is a common question i should have looked through the forums first.

Has anyone ever made brass for the Dutch Mannlicher? I find different reports as to whether it's 6.5X53R or 6.5X53.5R and I've read it can be done using British 303 cases and possibly the schoenauer...

I would just pop out the front sight pins and pull the whole assembly off but if you're determined to get it out heat is your friend. Not so hot that you might ruin the temper but 5-10 seconds with a...

I got a chrono and my load of 26grains are sending a 168gr bullet at about 1700fps. I know this is slow but I'm concerned the accurate 2460 powder burns too fast so I'm not sure if it's safe to add...

you really think the guy who started a thread for help appreciates being directed to a google search? It's just rude.

Ya know, I find these types of replies just totally unhelpful. I think anyone who finds a forum can do a simple google search but they come here for advice from experts and sometimes searching the...

I just bought 8mm lebel cases that were already reformed to 41 swiss they have the 10.4x38R and the 10.4x42R from buffalo arms co....

yes I know it used smokeless powder but it was designed to use black powder.

sweet. the 1889 is an awesome rifle such amazing machining and always with the Swiss way over-complicated. of course I know it was originally designed for black powder which is the reason for the...

yeah I seen that boat tail doesnt work good I wonder why that is... I have seen that some use .308 but some of these rifles measure out to like .314 so IDK I guess I just have to slug the bore.

just curious what's the opinion on spitzer copper jacketed bullets in this rifle? the numbers people are getting on these bores wouldn't a Russian 7.62 bullet work good being at .309-.311?

thanks for all the help guys. The accurate 2460 powder I have it turns out is just a little hotter than IMR 3031 which a lot of people use in the 1889 so I started at 25 grains of the 2460. I need to...

sounds like you got lucky! the lugs seem pretty damn strong on the 1889 but I guess having the lugs in the rear is the problem. If i recall correctly the lugs were in the rear because the gun was...

thanks!

thanks for looking that was nice of you. Definitely some good people on this forum

thanks again!
edit: thanks for the explanation on the powder that's where I get confused I dont see why the companies dont go by the same numbering so that it wouldnt matter what the brand was. oh...

thanks for the info! It's an 1889 antique and has the rear locking lugs. Serial # is 88000 range. I guess we will have to try slugging the barrel before settling on a boolit size.

thanks that's some great info! closest i have to 2400 is some 2460.

I'm new to reloading so I dont really know where to look for data. Ive tried googling of course but there is so many different powders I get confused and I havent yet found load data on the powder I...

Ok thanks I'll try looking up data or calling the powder manufacturer. I live in the US. Yeah my uncle has a few boxes of the 7.5X55MM and for powder(and ammo) it's practically impossible to find and...

Hey I have been lurking a long time but just joined today. My uncle has a 1889 Schmidt Rubin and wants to shoot it. We have found that modern 7.5X55MM chambers just fine. I know the modern powder...
