I guess I should also admit that another motive is a process that burns cleaner for my girlfriend. She bought a Model 60 3" Smith & Wesson a couple months ago. While she loves it, something not so...

My main goal will be the reduction of smoke when shooting in indoor ranges with handguns. Heck, I even get a lot of good-natured razzing when I shoot at outdoor ranges. Compared to the guys using...

The Maximum had a much shorter neck at .18" with a 30 degree shoulder, and .3024" shoulder diameter. The .22/3000 had a .27" neck length with 15 degree shoulder and .296" shoulder diameter. The R-2...

The post above shows a link that supplies 2R or R2 brass which has a 12 degree shoulder as I understand, but I was assuming that we were talking about the No. 3 Lovell .22/3000 with a 15 degree...

Well, how did you do?

This thread has been running so long that I'm sure some of the originals have gone on to the great hereafter, but I would just like to say that I view Richard Lee as one of the dearest friends I...

I was just shooting 2400 powder from the 1960's on Friday in my Marlin. I would imagine that powder you have is still good. To find out for sure, ask a neighbor you're not that fond of anyway to...

I have both, but the 30-30 Micro-groove Marlin would get my nod. I have the large loop Rossi 16" barrel. It's a very well made rifle, never failed or jammed once. But it's almost too light. The...

I've found the shotgun market to be very seasonal. I buy and sell quite a bit on there. A shotgun you can't give away in August brings top dollar in December/January. Actually that applies to other...

Whoops! I just realized you were talking about being stuck on the expander. Ignore above post, please.

I have used a brass wood screw along with a socket and washers to pull out stuck cases. Just drill out the primer pocket a little smaller than the screw, slip the washers and the right size socket on...

I like the iron moulds the best also, that being either Saeco or RCBS. They are really durable, and do a consistent job of producing quality boolits. Next would be the steel ones made by Lyman, which...

That's what I use too, the Ball Citric Acid found at Walmart along with the Ball canning jars now that there in season. I like mixing some with sugar and eating a little bit when I use it. Reminds me...

I don't really know how to say what I want to say. I started asking God why when I was only 20 and watched my six months old son breathe his last breath. Since then I've lost way too many others I...

RCBS has been too good to me. I mean it's not their fault the small and large punches were lost on a bench priming tool I bought at a re-sale shop. I feel like a mooch. I would gladly pay. But then...

I first used the Lymans I bought from Midway back in the 80's or early 90's. About ten years ago I bought the Frankford Arsenal with the tumbler and bucket. It has quit twice over the years, both...

The Rossi's I've worked on impressed me. The 357 went through both 38's and 357's like butter. The 44 Mare's Leg shot fine after I installed a higher front sight for the fella. The guy rolled a...

I hollow point a lot of handgun and rifle bullets using my 5C collet fixture and my drill press. I bought the collet fixture for $35 on ebay and buy the collets from MSC. I use center drills...

Winchester weigh 154 grains, Remington weigh 152.3 grains. You're right, yours will be heavier because the brass gets about 50% thicker on 308 and 243 cases as it gets close to the head, even...

I've got Ohaus and Lyman also, but the Redding gets used 95 per cent of the time. Keep it filled with oil and it dampens to a halt super quick. Simple and quick. I keep it enclosed in a clear plastic...

I can remember this issue coming up 50 years ago in the Herter's catalog. Herter claimed that aluminum cleaning rods would wear the rifling out of gun barrels, so you should buy the wooden ones he...

You mean that all I have to do is reverse the handle and I'll be pushing up with the wrong hand too! Then I'd have to handle bullets and gas checks with my left hand. I can't comb my hair with my...

As you can see this allows you to use your left hand to push the handle up and down, and that seems OK since it's just brunt force. This leaves your right hand to do the things that require...

Sorry for taking so long. This is my first attempt at posting a picture, so if your computer starts to smoke, you'll know why.

Is mine left handed or is yours? My handle sticks out the opposite side so is made mirror image to yours. As you operate it, you push up with your left hand to size the bullet. He must have made them...
