Randy, Randy, Randy. :roll: You don't have a powder equivalents chart? :)

G'day Randy,
I got my most accurate load with the Hornady 250gr RNSN at 40gr of ADI 2206H. Forgot to chronograph this load. :(
When I got the CBE mould and cast some from WW alloy, I played around...

G'day Randy. Where I come from, the 303-35 was popular 60 odd years ago and I have one on a Martini Henry action. Lovely rifle to shoot and the heavy bullets are devastating on game. I have kept a...

Hi fellas. I found I could get my home made 52cal smooth bore to shoot, by putting a thick felt wad under and one over the bare ball. Patching the ball gave big groups.
I was punching them from 3/8"...

G'day john.k Pleased to meet you. :) I'll stick with the military rod and what else I've done to it is to make a small scalloped extension that fits the threaded end, just to give a bit more grip...

Hi omgb. I know this is an old thread, but I stumbled across it in a search for images of sporting sights for my recent purchase of an 1858navy Enfield, armi sport replica. Like most I can only use...

I would recommend he soften the alloy and drop the speed. Don't forget Taylor's dictum.

Hi, White eagle,
Make yourself one of these and you'll be able to haul it up into the blind easily.

Too right! A hit in the CNS with Tungsten Carbide would do the same.
Good shootin' Sam. :)

Congratulations on your successful hunt, Ammohead and a good write up too.

Thanks for showing the tools, Ammohead.
Did you harden them? Especially the die?

Nice looking boolits, Ammohead and good luck with the hunting.
How about showing us the swage tools that you made. I'm interested :)
What alloy are they made from?

G'day fellas. At the request of the owner, I am posting on this build.
I was sent a Martini Cadet action, in good condition and barrelled in .222 rimmed and a new Ishapore made .303 Brit barrel....

Concerning the size of the barrel shank, on a Cadet, I would refer you to the dimensions of the Remington 760 pump rifle. Shank dia is .872, but the length of the thread is only .320!! I was...

I'm not surprised that the 32 Win special conversion, using the existing .310 barrel, was and unsettling experience, especially if they were factory loads and .321" jacketed bullets, being fired down...

Yes, or Super Glue the peep on, just for the trial run.

I would suggest using a much softer alloy than Linotype. You may get a pleasant surprise. Also, if you're like me and can't focus on open sights anymore, when I have to shoot with irons, I wear an...

Here is a Youtube link of me making some checks with these tools.

http://youtu.be/fab6JeE-FNs

I have since fixed the problem, of the sides being chopped out, by just polishing the inside of...

Those are nice looking checks, Fritz.


What's the story with the target? Open sights? Was the accuracy worse than this, before you used the alum checks? Better? That's a pretty big group :)

Hi fellas.
This is my simple setup. I looked at what I already had in the workshop and found a 10mm wad punch, that cut the .011" Alum flashing easily. The discs come out at .386", so I bored a...

Bloody hell. :( Hope he turns up safe and sound soon mate.

Nice bit of venison, there mate. :)

So, 303Guy, have you decided on the cal yet??
If I hadn't had a .358" barrel, I probably would have gone for a 375 something or other. I had thought about something on those lines and was planning...

Just ignore it mate. It's just a couple of wankers, pretending that they know something about shooting and replaying tenth hand advise, that they heard from a mate, of a mate, of a mate.
We hear...
