It's slightly similar to nibbing (a form of spinning), which has been mentioned here a couple of times. A small ball bearing is brazed to a piece of steel and is used to lengthen the brass and in the...

Swaging down .028" at the base will result in a reduction of the primer pocket diameter. The pocket will have to be recut. The flash hole might even have to be redrilled to open it back up.

.44-77 is bottleneck cartridge taking a .446 diameter bullet.

It's definitely something of an orphan case although it shares a similar base diameter to the 9x19 family of cartridges. I'm surprised no one has tried to convert a 74 type rifle to one of the 9mm...

The base/rim diameter is different. The 5.45x39 bolt face is too small, and the 5.45 magazines will not accommodate the larger diameter cartridge.

I just got a full set of dies in from Corbin last week. Included a custom point form die with a jacket reduction and trim die set. Total wait was about 18 months.

Pepcon was in Henderson, NV.

These.

I'm continually amazed that people are still crawling out of whatever cave they've been in, somehow ignorant to the economic events of the last few years, to bemoan how expensive reloading components...

Buffalo Arms used to sell a mold release made by Rapine that was graphite suspended in alcohol. It's applied with a Q-tip. I've always found it to work very well. Still have about half a bottle left...

That's interesting news. In his last email to me a few weeks ago he said they were working on improvements in methods of productions and logistics to move things along better. Which is good, since...

Closest thing that was recently and remotely available was Speer #1223 which was a 105gn .243 diameter RN. It was discontinued a while back.

Nineteen posts and not one of them touched on actually measuring case volume.

The way I do it, is to take a clean case and place it on my scale. Zero the scale. Take a syringe and fill it with...

H&K roller locked rifles don't have gas ports. One can "tune" the rifle to a certain degree by changing locking pieces, but it's not something normally done.

I know the first two models suffered from problems with the stocks cracking. The first model has a round safety on the side of the stock creating a weak spot. The second (Navy) model has two levers...

According to Storz, the solution to the problem was to forbid criticism of the rifle in public and to adjust the front sight. The rifle only had a four year service life, so thankfully for those in...

The Germans experienced serious accuracy issues with the 71/84. Both the front band attachments and the uneven lockup of the bolt caused major deviations to the right. Rifles were tested against a 50...

If you can find it, 427103 is the correct Ideal/Lyman mold for the Berdan II rifle.

Bore size on the 1871 and the 71/84 is nominally the same at approximately 11mm +/- .05mm. Groove size on the two differ. Rifling depth on the 1871 is specified as .3mm +/- .05mm (Storz, 2011). I...

I make them from 450/400 Hornady Brass. Works perfectly. I rough cut the brass, run into the die and then complete a final trim. The base and rim diameters fit well. Headspace off the shoulder and...

Here's some interesting reading on the topic.

That's good. Have you made a chamber casting?

You need to buy a set of calipers.

Not sure why everyone is saying to use .348 Winchester brass when that has a base diameter of .553" and .42 Berdan has a base diameter of .518". It's not going to work without a lathe or a set of...
