The April 1942 is one I am missing. Appreciate your efforts. It is amazing more fellows did not have issues, as likely that 17 grains of 4227 was also compressed a bit.
Also wonder what that would...

Thanks for posting these as I did have these as a reference but on checking my files they had disappeared. This has been rectified in my files.
Note the larger than base diameter next to rim as...

On the other end of the spectrum uscra112, some of the used cases I shelved for now have a base diameter of .320" and over. I would love to inspect whatever rifle they were used in. Who ever made the...

I did try Lil Gun back in 2004 & starting at 12.5gr went to 13.0 and stopped due to cases separating even though it worked well. I was showing a bit over 2900 ft/sec on the chrony with 45 grain...

I do have some of the above mentioned author's articles & excerpts in my files and on the CD I send out.
I do need to do an inventory in the library soon. Always on the lookout for a few of the...

Thanks for the links uscra112, & I have seen similar comments on Donaldson...chuckle.
Also thanks brian, if I need photos I'll let you know. The video is excellent btw.
gnoahhh check your PM
Cheers

A coffee table book ! Thanks for your confidence in me uscra112. The CD compilation, as informal as it is may be, is likely my magnum opus.
About 20 years back I happened across a super deal on 2...

For Reg & others interested, found American Rifleman digitally at : https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/serial?id=amerrifle
Also found article in January 1936 issue by Donaldson on the...

Thanks Bent Ramrod. I found a site online with digital copies & just finished the article. Tedmon's style of writing is of a type I really enjoy. He certainly seemed progressive on his liking of a...

Hey uscra112. Any chance you know what American rifle issues those were in?
Pushing something like the 25-20SS is what makes me think you would be an awesome neighbor.
Brian as well.
Cheers

Nice Wessons Brian. As you are familiar with the ilk, have you ever seen a Wesson tip-up rifle in centerfire or referenced any details about them. What little I've found indicate Wesson made a few in...

That name does not sound familiar.

Nice to cross paths again Brian. :)
Also wishing uscra112 the best.
Cheers
ps Another little tidbit regarding the Lovell cartridges that eluded me was the mention, in an old issue of Cartridges...

Hi uscra112, I'll pm you my e-mail so you can give me an address to send a CD to.

Hi brian1, & yes I'm from Canada. North shore of Lake Ontario to narrow it down a bit.
Cheers

Thanks so much to brian1 and uscra112 for the details on fettling .223 cases into Lovell form.
I had heard snippets that it could be done, but silly me not figuring to swage down the case, I had...

Beautiful rifle.
As a Lovell fan, and shooter, I've composed the following for posting in such instances.

The "22-3000" (or 22 Lovell) was a wildcat round developed by an American named Hervey...

I've 2, one in 2R Lovell, and the other in 22 wmr. Bought them already converted. Great rifles. Getting real hard to find for that price in .310 . Would suggest sell/buy or trade it for one already...

Definitely not the putty you mention, been there. This was strip metal in an extruded profile with lettering embossed or roll stamped. I expect mostly lead but not sure of the alloy or if it can be...

My father-in-law salvaged some large old "Thermopane" windows, and the outside sealing material appeared to be soft lead. Melted down a couple of pounds, fluxed, cleaned, & cast into 3/4" x 1" x 4"...

Concerning maximum velocity alone, the rule of thumb if my memory serves right is 36" to 39" for BP and about 28" for smokeless. Of course caliber, BP type, etc can all varry these slightly. Not...

Just a smidge short, but better than long & may suit your rifle perfect. Tippin' a wiskey to your Mcgyver move on the seater. Ok...maybe 2 whiskey. Hope she shoots like a dream. Keep us posted....

I'm guessing you are using the Lee flat nose mold. Looking at my seater, it appears to be made more for a round nose type bullet. If your seater is really loose, could a wrap or two of tape (masking...

Hi Battis.
Just tagged onto this thread & hope to help more than confuse.
Originally these bullets were of a "heeled" type, that is the diameter of the base of the bullet for the first 1/4...

My absolute favorite is:
19.5 grains SR4759
Top with 1/4 sheet of toilet paper tamped in on top of powder with the eraser end of a pencil. Fold in remaining edges loosely in a manner that the...

Hi All.
I just use an aluminum muffin tin that I picked up at a yard sale for a dime to make nice size ingots. A new one might cost upwards of 2 -3 dollars. Check for 0% financin' if you go the...
