I just use the same general load for all of my 7.62 military rifles - G3/FAL/M-14/SCAR-17 - which is just 42-43gr of Ramshot TAC with a 147gr FMJBT projectile, whichever one I can get my hands on for...

Easiest way to get rid of stainless steel pins is to run it through a media separator filled with water and go slow, do some counter rotations, and then shake out as much water as you can before...

My personal mix for lemi-shine in a wet tumbler is one 9mm cap worth per cycle with one tablespoon of dawn dish soap and I get pretty good results. Too much citric acid means that the brass gets dull...

Whatever you do, DO NOT fire military spec GP11 out of an 1889 - you will damage the rifle due to the pressures involved.

Unfortunately not, I haven't had the opportunity to chrono 9mm loads out of the 200mm barrel that the Artillery Luger sports.

Mimicing others who have said it: I would definitely not let the firing pin rest on a live primer as a means to decock the gun. Just use the safety function on the K-31; it's not too difficult to use.

People who collect US Krags - would you say their barrels by and large are in good condition if you find a rifle, or are they usually pretty messed up?

Was the bayonet attaching for some bayonet charge at the range? :razz:

Took out my Garand to confirm zero and shoot some groups - still a good shooter, even after all these years!

I wonder if anyone makes Norwegian Krag replacement barrels these days?

Actual .308" bore? I'm assuming you neck size 7.62x54r brass and then load whatever .308" boolit that you want?

Wow, a unique variation. Those are anti-aircraft sights, correct? There's a Gew 98 with night sights coming up in the next RIA premium auction, too.
