I am obliged for your responses. I'll check them out and let you know what I find.
Does anyone know of a source for jacketed bullets for a 22 Hi-power. I see that Montana Bullet Works makes a gas checked cast bullet but that's the only thing I've found so far.

Do a search for "Bob S" load. He used WWII 4831 with heavy cast bullets with great results. Other slow powders will work with the M1. I'm using surplus 872 at 46 grs., with a 3 gr Unique kicker...

Went down and pulled the bolt on my O3A3 and sure enough, there is pitting on the bolt face. I had heard of this possibility before, but didn't put much credence in it. Couldn't believe a primer...

The trouble is, none of the major companies make a .301 bullet mould or a sizing die for my 03 a3 . How do you get a .301 bullet to patch up to .309?

Kurt: Good to hear from you. Steve is the son of my old coyote hunting partner and as you can imagine, I'm pretty proud of him. We made tentative plans to make it out to the Q this year-my...

Steve was fourth overall, but FIRST in the mens division.

By smelting in a dutch oven and a turkey fryer I redeemed my drip-o-matic.
Last year I got 2 five lb. tin containers of 700X on an estate sale for $l50. I'm shooting 10 grs. with the Lyman 311413 bullet at 170 grs in a O3A3. I still get a monthly bucket of WW's from the...

Artful: Your range looks like the place where Dutch Henry Brown had his cabin in "Winchester
73". Shelley Winters make the classic comment,"You never know when a girl might need a bullet."

I bought a Model 8 in .32 Remington several years ago at the Tulsa show, and it came with a box of shells and a set of loading dies. I shot cast in it from an 8mm Mauser Lyman mould and I made...
I put the case in my funnel upside down. I KNOW there is no powder in the case. Throw the powder charge into the upright funnel and from then on that case never leaves my hand until the bullet is...

My guess would be the commercial bullets you used. Probably too hard, and the lube they use is hard, too. Do a search for the Bob S load; it works well in my M-l. I've never had any luck with...

You didn't mention if the bullets were gas checked.
I'm getting on to where the end of this campaign is much closer than the beginning, so I have started paring down my accumulation of gun stuff so the Mrs. will have less of a burden. I had several...

I use the 311413 in my 03A3 '06 with 11 or 12 grs. of any of the fast burning pistol and shotgun powders. Good accuracy on the SR-1 reduced target at 100 yds. ACWW's, of course.

jonk: Yeah, there's always a few kernels that find their way into the chamber, and if not removed will eventually keep a round from chambering. I have a bunch of those little cotton balls on a wire...

43 grs. over a 3 gr. unique kicker with the Lee 200 gr. gc cast bullet and a puff of cotton filler operates the action of my M1 with acceptable accuracy from a 1942 barrel.

77. Started casting 40 years ago with muzzle loaders, went to smokeless to save money, now I cast just for the fun of it.

For a few years Winchester made the lifters out of thin sheet metal-they bend very easily. Take a look and if the ejector isn't the shiny silver colored steel lifter order one from numrick or from...

The problem is the resized brass. Most BPCR shooters at the matches, like Don McDowell, do not resize their brass and this leaves enough room for 70 grains, dropped through a drop tube, to nearly...

I have several old .45-70 balloon head empties that I picked up at the site of old Fort Custer near Hardin Montana. Most of them were flattened and beat up but I have a couple that are still OK. I...
