Sounds like a lot of work. My local furniture store sells nice Amish and Mennonite stuff with traditional door slides that should be waxed, so he sells blocks of parafin in 3/4 and 1" thickness for...

What makes a powder unsafe to download? Detonation from laying too low relative to the primer pocket?
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
The .270 Winchester seems like its pretty close, slightly shorter shoulder. So would it be foolish to put Hogdons starting loads of 4895 for the .270 into the 7x65R (both with 150gr boolits) and work...

pworley - They are close but I dont see any 4895 loads for the 280 Rem. on Hogdons data center. Maybe 270 Winchester bottom starting loads with similar bullet weights are a good start?

So, I've recently come into possession of a post WW2 made 7x65R falling block, and of course I bought a few boxes of factory ammo as deer season starts soon down here. I've also bought a good supply...

Whats the traditional direction to REMOVE a winchester dovetailed front blade or buckhorn rear? I believe it is left to right when viewed from the rear of the sights but I'm not sure. I am...

Id like to mount an MVA sight to an original straight grip rifle. They have the bases but where can I get a longer main tang screw and the front screw for the sightbase (where the filler screw is...

Looking for some low cost plinking / practice options for .50 cal boolit casting in medium - hard alloy (no pure lead).
What are some good sources for low cost ingots or recycled wheel weights?...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Went with Accurate and that 440 grain bullet. Not sure how it will do with the 50-110 Express rifling but its ideal for the Linebaugh with a 4" bbl (5.5" but the muzzle has Bowens counterbored...

Looking for something in .512-.513 that I can cast for 50-110 WCF and size down for 500 Linebaugh. But nothing available anywhere it seems.

Bump...looking for straight grip rifle unless checkered then pistol grip OK.
Yes I know about the Hogdon loads but I'm out of H110 and want to save my Trailboss for an old British .450 single shot I have. I have this Alliant PP and am wondering if I can use it up on 500...
I have a couple lbs of Alliant Power Pistol powder and a hankering for some 500 Linebaugh. Alliant lists a load for the 480 Ruger with a 275 gr bullet. Would this be a safe starting load for 500...
