I have found that to help in pulling military bullets, I would first seat the bullets a hair deeper to break the seal and pulling was much easier from that point on.

Some of the old timers on here may recall Herters. When I first started reloading, there weren't many shops in my area that sold reloading stuff, so Herters was the "go to" place to stock up on...

I would like to reduce the 1000 or so Turkish rounds I have. Can you tell me what year was stamped on the cases you reduced down to 40 grains?

I sold a member some 44 mag dies and the new owner feels that the one of the dies is missing an internal part. If you happen to own a set of 3 Echo pistol dies, could you please tell me what is...

I dug out my Herter's catalog, and it appears that they match up with Herter brand shell holders. Issue resolved. Thanks to all for your input.

I know that there are a lot of members on this forum that have a vast warehouse of knowledge in their heads and I'm hoping one can help me out. I have a few shell holders stamped MU-#, like MU-5,...

When the USPS Small Flat Rate Box isn't quite large enough, Skip the Medium FRB and you may want to try the Regional Rate Box A. It is 3 times bigger than the SFRB and at times it's cheaper or not...

I would take a look at Eneloop rechargeable batteries. They are a bit more expensive than regular rechargeables, but they are well made and dependable. I use nothing else now. The charge lasts a...

A very under rated fly is the Hornberg. It's best to get a duck hunter friend save you the barred flank feathers from the left and right sides of a male mallard (in separate bags). I can be fished...

I have used Feibing Dark Brown leather dye on all of my Garands and other stocks. Just get rid of any old finish, apply the stain to your liking with thin coats, wipe off and let dry several days,...

It's amazing how prices have changed since the late sixties. In my last year of college, my friend had a friend who had a FFL. They went over to Century Arms and came back with a Chilean Mauser,...

Imgur picture hosting procedure for desktop (Windows 7 pro). It looks intimidating, but after a few posts, you won't need to refer back to these steps. Cameras set at 3MP to 6MP is best and uploads...

All seems to be fine here.

It turned out to be a Reinforcing band for Thompson M1A1 front grip. Thanks for the help.

Just wondering if anyone on the forum has seen this barrel band before and recalls which rifle it belongs on. Thanks in advance.

I would have to vote for IMR 4895. I've used up lots of 8 lb jugs of surplus powder that was from when they were pulling down bullets for government demilling. The stuff worked great in .30 M1...

A good starting point would be to disassemble the entire bolt and clean it up. Measure the length of the firing pin and compare that to what the correct length should be. Is the spring strong...

Call the company, they may have a record of the sale.

As Bob mentioned, if you are going to do this at home, you will need to consider the extra cost of a reamer and headspace gauges. You may also want to consider alignment tools to index the barrel. ...

My first powder was Herter's 101. Got it in 1968 and I believe it cost less than 2 bucks.

A guy from Weaver got back to me and said that it would be for a Remington Model 30. Probably 40's or early 50's vintage. I looked up in my Herter's catalog for the Rem Mod 30 and sure enough the...

I have this one piece Weaver scope base and rings, but can not find out which rifle it was made for. I called Weaver and so far they do not have any answers. The only markings is Weaver stamped on...

Sometimes hit the screw head to break the bond in the threads. All the set screws I have removed unscrewed normally by turning counterclockwise.

Have you shot any of this ammo? Any hang fires?

Is that for an 8lb jug?
