Read somewhere that most of the rifle caliber ammo issued in WW2 in the Pacific was AP. It was preferred because it would penetrate through the big palm logs the Japs used in their bunkers.

Second!

Years ago when Turkish was cheap (and of suspect quality) I bought a case of 3400 or so for about 4 cents a round. Tore it all down and reloaded it w 10% less powder in 500 round lots in...

Works for me!

Thanks to all who posted. Next time I get a chance to shoot I will try dropping the load down from 11.5 toward 10.

These are cast from scrap from ranges and wheelweights. I have no idea what the BHN is. Sizing to .310, lubed w 2500 lube.

Not getting decent grouping w Red Dot in an 03 Springfield based rifle w NOE 311291 sized and GC and Red Dot. Have tried 11.5 and 12.0 gr with equally poor results. This is a nice middle of the data...

I got a 45 3 1/4 Shiloh Sharps in 1982. Started out shooting shooting duplex loads w 105 gr 2f black and 10 gr of 4227, wads, grease etc behind 500 gr 457125. Even in a 14 lb rifle it is an...

Can't figure out where to post this, so I'll try here!

I have a number of bolt action rifles I want to sell, but where can I get cardboard boxes the right dimensions to ship them in! I need to...

Made it to the range a few times and worked on finding a load for the NOE 311291 that worked well in my NRA Sporter clone. Lots of interruptions with the weather and etc, but I finally managed a load...

Looking for the correct model or "height" designation for the current production Lyman 17 globe front to replace the GI issue front blade assy on the 03 Springfield. The old references call out 17A...

Thanks for the kind words.

fwiw I'm 70 and was wearing trifocals, and the last time I remember shooting a group this good I was about 15 shooting NRA small bore. It will probably be a while...

I have been trying to "tighten" up the groups I was getting w a new to me '03 Sporter clone. In general, I was getting 2.5" groups at best. Some of this was the shooter getting used...

I buy it when I can get it delivered to Konb Creek. If I can duck the hazmat and the shipping, it is an even better deal. Its a pain sometimes to get it back to the car but I manage. I also do this w...

Have a Lyman 48 that has play in the windage adjustment. Anyone have a source for repair?

Help appreciated, thanks!

Got it done...btw the tap handle wouldn't work, collet was too big for the drill bit. So I just took a chance and chucked it up in a regular drill and went slow. Used a 0.67 drill which is undersize,...

I have an old Lyman pot, don't know the model (10 lb w side appliance plug).

I decided to clean it. Left it assembled and boiled it out 3-4 times.

Now I have disassembled it and found the pour...

I ordered a 31R plug from Lyman on the phone about a year ago to size bullets for use in 7.62 54r. I suspect that is the designation for the .310-.314. Gent I talked to on the phone knew exactly what...

What alloy and powder charge do you use for .30 Tokarev?

Last time I shot my PPS with lead bullets, I think I was using 6.5 gr of Unique. It worked the action fine, but I would prefer a load w...

Got it! Thank you for the reply.

Now all I need is decent weather to cast some bullets and I will give that 18 grain load a try...

I have read the filler thread a couple of times and acquired some polyester batting. I just want to make sure I understand how to install it:

1.Cut a rectangular block of the batting weighing from...

Thanks. Ran the Hornady calculator for the various bullet weights for .38 spl and Universal. Data makes sense...looks like 4.0-4.2 should work for my purposes.

fwiw I back checked with the 9mm/...

Interesting results. Thank you.

The SD is remarkable. I had been under the impression from other comments that 2400 was not "position sensitive". Looks like I need to read up on how to use dacron...

I got a new NOE mold recently for their version of 311291. I haven't had an opportunity to cast w it yet, but I have been looking a load data. I have a variety of 03 Spgfld rifles and M1s I might try...

Like the title says... looking for lead bullet SWC loads using CSB1M powder from Hi Tech. Their flyer only shows Berrys 125 data.

I have loaded .45 acp lead 230 and 9mm lead 125s with 5.4 and 4.2...
