The Lyman 50th ed. says "Marlin rifles with Micro-Groove rifling should keep cast bullet velocities below 1600 fps for best accuracy". I have been getting decent groups at 50/100yds.with open sights...

Small base sizing dies especially in the AR platform can eliminate chambering issues.

I use the Lee 356 124-2R Tumble Lube at around 1.130" OAL, shoots well in all my 9mm pistols, revolvers, and carbines.

Ordered a 22 cal from Pat 12-1-20, never sent him a email asking about the order. I figured his check cleared and everything was good. Why bother him when he's busy filling orders. I had plenty of...

I agree with Wheelgun. I have 4. Probably 300 rds. through one and no issues. I would recommend them for someone not wanting a dedicated lower. The only drawback I see is the ejector is made of...

Thanks for your thoughts longbow!!

Most of the commercial slugs that I've seen including some BPI THUG SLUGS I have, don't seem to be lubed. My barrel cleans up pretty well. Just a thought though, if it's worth the trouble.

I'm hoping someone can help me with some advice. I'm shooting the Russian Paradox Slugs (537 grs.) with the attached tail wad in a smooth bore Maverick 88 12 ga.,18 1/2" bbl, cylinder choke. Since...

Try Numrich gun parts. They carry Rem 1858 screws.

I just wanted to give an update on my 12ga minishell loads. These loads are not hunting loads, they are close range loads! I chronographed an Aguila Mini Slug at about 927 fps.The mini slug load I...

Bought a Charter Arms Bulldog in 45 COLT new, July 2018 from Classic Firearms; out the door to my FFL for $370. I have apprx. 300 rds through it and haven't had any issues. The fit and finish for a...

Is it a carbine or pistol gas barrel? If it is a carbine gas system it can be problematic. Before I start breaking down a gas block on a carbine gas barrel, I would look at a reduced buffer...

I am currently working up a load to duplicate the Aguila Mini Slug/Buckshot load. I am using a Maverick 88 12ga with an Op-Sol mini-clip I bought on Amazon. I took apart an Aguila slug and the...

I own both the full size Ruger and the light weight commander. Not much difference in felt recoil to me using the same load in both guns. One positive note about the light weight commander is the...

I've been using 2400 in my M1 carbine loads with the 311359. 11.5grs with a small rifle magnum primer works for me.

I have been using the Lyman 311359 115gr/gc sized .309 @ 1.65" OAL in an IBM Carbine with good results. I would try another mag before I got too involved in other issues. There are plenty of mags...

I use a lyman 115 gr mold 311359. This mold is designed for M1 Carbine. Lyman reloading manual has data for it.

Doug Guy in above post #5 will do a great job for you.

I had a problem with sooty buildup on bottleneck cases. Seemed like the NuFinish I was using as a brightner was getting gummy. Stopped using brightner and just used plain walnut hull and the problem...

If you are seating boolits as cast, they may need to be sized to .401; my Lee mold casts slightly over, resulting in seating and chambering problems. Also, I taper crimp to .421 which should chamber...

I load that 160 gr gc Lee with 13.5gr H110 chrono at 1663fps avg. SD 25.74 and 12.5gr Lil'Gun chrono at 1712fps avg SD 15.36. Sized .309"/OAL at 2.000". H110 seems to group better, but both shoot...

My Hornady Cam-Lock pilot stub measures .187 +/-

I had the same problem with lee 200gr TL design. I was using the LEE TL452-200-SWC and had problems feeding in my Rock Island and Remington R1. Switched to the LEE 452-200-SWC and problems...

I had one and cracked the frame shooting hi-vel. Had it fixed by the factory at no cost to me (new frame) and traded it off for a Walther P22.

I use Ballistic Products "Advantages Manual" as a reference for buck and slug loading data. You can order the manual on their website. Should have what you need. Also I have their specialty manuals,...
