I have come to the conclusion to use cast. I have read I don't need a neck sizing die to use cast. As long as it uses the crimp groove, and maybe a little oversized than a normal jacketed bullet. The...
It could be a no. 3 or one of the others, its listed as a no.10 in the listing.
If I did get it, I thought about buying a normal size 348 sizing die, and getting it machined to fit the no.10 348...
I was looking at a 348wcf ideal no.10, which I believe uses the same dies as the Lyman 310 special 348, but I could be wrong. With what looks like a bullet seating die in it, has none of the other...

I found a guy on youtube who converted an original 1886 lightweight 348 win using a mix of original model 71 parts and chiappa parts. Original 71 bolt, lugs, barrel and cartridge guide, then...

How hard do you think it would be to enlarge a 45-70 carrier to fit the 348 case? Would it need machined or just a dremel and patience?
Actually, does anyone have an original model 71 or a...

Yes, I know, just buy an original or browning model 71. Now that that's out of the way.
First, parts compatability, since chiappa 1886 is pretty much an exact copy to the originals, except for...

I thought the same. But the other part of me wonders how much of a difference the AI does for bolt thrust in this case. Though, if I ever did get one, I would just use 33 wcf load data, rather than...

I have seen original antique Winchester 1886's, chambered in 348 wcf using model 71 barrels. I know factory loads are not safe, possiy stretching the action after repeated use, or worse. So my first...
I was looking to get lyman 310 38-55 dies, to go with my 38-40 dies. But I saw the winchester 1894 reloading tool, which would better match my winchester 1894 made in 1898. My question is, do I need...

Yes, I plan to hunt deer with this gun. That's why I was going for a lighter bullet since I don't really need penetration and would rather opt for speed for more cavitation and expansion, especially...

I just got a Winchester 1894 made in 1898, chambered in 38-55. I was planning to buy a box of Hendershots ammo loaded with 200gr Hawk bullets. Just so I wouldn't have a bunch of extra bullets if they...

I have an original Winchester 1892 made 1897. I have been looking for a 38-40/44-40 right cartridge guide for a while now. While looking for one on many different websites to no avail, I found where...
I have the decapping chamber, the muzzle resizer die(38-40-MR), the priming chamber, and what looks like the bullet seating die(38-40-DA), but it also looks like the shell exp. chamber on the box,...
