As they say: "Purtie don't shoot!" :)

Expediency. The U.S was so short of arms they needed anything available RDN, so accepted the M1917 Secondary Standard Rifle
with as few changes from the P14 as possible.
I agree that the M1917...

Mmnnn... Yah! That'll do! :)

If you run up US 83, headed north up the flat prairie, do not get startled when you suddenly, and very unexpectedly, drop off into a hole that you had no idea was there! Welcome to Valentine,...

Thanks for the tip, sir! They have the main spring for my Colt New Service!

Or this punch set. No more Wack! Wack!

I like it! I like it a LOT! Keep us posted, sir!

I like the mechanical timers. I have had power surges knock a digital timer's display out.

I have a couple of Winchester load pamphlets, plus have come across a couple more in electronic form. Only recently stumbled across the 303 load data, showing 748 powder. That's what got my gears...

The data I have is from a Winchester publication. The intel I am looking for is from folks that have used, or are using, Winchester factory ammunition.

Here is one from way out in Left Field:

I have Winchester load data that indicates they (at least once upon a time) loaded 150gr bullets on top of 748 powder in 303 British.
I was curious to...

Avoirdupois, or Sterling?

My only contact with MagTech was when I bought the conversion cylinder for my 1858 Remington. Paperwork said to use "Cowboy" loads only. The only thing available at the time (2007) that fit the bill...

I bet you might if they had built a nest under the dash of your 1961 Chevy Apache! There's a story to THAT! :)

My pard in West Tennesse builds and hangs carpenter bee traps (he's lazy: uses Mason jars). Yet, he still enjoys blasting the occasional critter that buzzes in close to his shade tree... :) He's been...

It was a joke, Mac....

What's a "CCI shot load"? :)

Glad to be of service!

That's because you don't put cream of wheat in your beans! :p

That's a waste of good grits! Use cream of wheat, instead, as that stuff is nasty to eat! :)

Mine are too, which is why I am exploring other options. I need to use old door key cards for the stamping base, so as to not deform my punch, and muck up my punch base (hickory block). Plus, the...

Lol!!!
