This is an old thread, but lets see if anyone is watching it.
I have had v3.4 for years. I am not an expert and do not use it as a primary source. I use it as another source and to work...

Got my first Contender in 1994. 14 in. 7-30 Waters. I had been a reloader for 20 years at that time. But getting that Contender allowed me to focus on the finite details and the impacts they can...

In Elmer's day things were totally different. Testing to failure was more or less accepted. In todays world, we all have to be mindful of the hobby/sport we love and enjoy. This country is full of...
Yes sir … that's why I clarified with "simple math" and "ball park/simple figures and do not take a lot of variables that could push those numbers some." Something one can do by just looking at what...
No such thing as "a wee bit" when it comes to a bulged cylinder. And to use your train of thought (which I would not) you don't have a "5" shooter, you have a 3 shooter. You have no way of knowing,...

If you saw my earlier thread, I picked up an M1917 and it shot low ... really low! So I asked about front sights. Outpost75 provided some great information and he sent me a couple Enfield front...

My research says the Battle Sight for the M1917 is 450 yards.
Adam, with the rear sight set at 400 I am POA/POI at 200. Sitting at the bench and flipping the sight down to expose the battle sight...

Hey Wallace,
Any idea of a source for the sight blades that have them by dimension?

My math says I need a .015. I am on the hunt! Nice rifles. I'll have to post a picture of mine.
Forum: Military Rifles
Thank you Outpost75. With this info, I know I have to drop roughly .060 to get it to shoot using the 200 yard setting. The sight is marked .075. I need one in the .015 range. If those are...

A few months ago I called both RCBS and Ohaus concerning parts for a used 10-10 I came across. The answer from both was the same. Nope. Discontinued scale that they no longer support. Glad my...

I have three barrels for my Contender. 14" 7-30 Waters, 14" .35 Remington and a 10" .44 Mag. Really like them all. I am looking for one more though. A 14" 7mm TCU. Shooting and loading for them is...

In the beginning, I used an RCBS trimmer that wasn't mine. Then came across a Lyman. Shortly afterwards, I got my own RCBS and its still on my bench and used often. Typically a low volume loader so...
Thanks Jim. Way more information than I was willing to dig around for. I'm really hoping someone can use or appreciate them. I am more interested in getting them into the hands of someone that will...
I have three.
14 inch 7-30 Waters
14 inch .35 Rem
10 inch .44 Mag
Currently looking for a 14 inch 7mm TCU.
All wear 2x pistol scopes and all are very accurate. The Contender will teach you...

I completely agree. Having a trimmer for each caliber would be prohibitively expensive and take up too much space. No intent to do that at all. Since I came across this trimmer in a bulk deal of...

I have the adapter on the way to use a portable drill to power it. That should speed things up a bit!
