A suppressor on a supersonic rifle doesn't help much. In most cases even with suppressor the report still exceeds 100 dB by a margin. Subsonic is another thing. The report is naturally less loud. ...

John is correct. He had to do that with the Marble's sight he put on my original No.2. Mine is in .32S&W long. I loaded to 1,000 fps or so to keep it quiet.

You need to find a Glock armorer. Inquire at local gun shops. sometimes they will have an armorer visit to tune up customer's guns. Or try a different magazine.

Back when I had a class C motorhome I carried a 110 volt impact wrench because the motorhome had a gen set. Got a flat and could not loosen the lug nuts with it. I had to borrow a breaker bar from...

Looks like I need a bit more time with the 40:1 mix. I melted it in a new Lee 20 lb bottom pour. It took a while to get the spout adjusted. First it was dropping too muh alloy and making a mess. ...

Hmm... I just went out to cast up some boolits from the 40:1 mix and learned thein spite of my memorey, they did not come from a Lee mould. Rather it is an Arsenal that is marked '98 gr SWC - RCBS...

I gave the H&R cartridge some thought. After all I have a stainless 4" S&W J-frame in that caliber. But I shoot a lot of S&W Long ammunition in it for hearing's sake. And that is why I stuck to...

The rifle is a remington #2 rolling block that John Taylor relined to .32 S&W long. Nice gun with 26" barrel and a nice crisp trigger. We put a Marbles tang sight on it and John made the front...

Some good points here. In my case I use a dental pick to unclog the valve when it gets plugged. This happens every time you drain the alloy from the pot to use something else. The dross seeemsto...

It sounds like you aree loading for a .30-30. They headspace on the cartridge rim. The fact that factory cases get longer when you fire them means your chamber is cut deeply. When you reload try...

I used to use the same method for making .30-06 AI from reegular .30-06 brass as well as .300 Weatherby from .300 H&H. With those you can just fire factory ammunition in the improved chamber but you...
