I made some 60 grain.257 bullets for my 25/20. Ran .224 bullets into my .257 2 piece die. Would post picture if I knew how.

Enfield I checked my 1905 Winchester and it is not drilled and tapped for a tang sight.

Just get a 22 Hornet.

I have a Gary Reeder 510 Hunter in 510 GNR. It shoots very well and has a smooth action.

I had a Century 45/70 revolver stolen 1985, serial number 295.

Started reloading when I was 15. Started casting at age 23 now 69 years of age.

I reamed a Sharps barrel by hand from 45/70 to 45/120 without taking the barrel off. It was a simple job anybody that can turn a t handle could do it. My chamber cleaned up OK, but maybe the chamber...

That is one bueatiful revolver.

Making swaging dies is not like standard machining operations that you do off a blueprint. If you don't know what diameter a bullet is supposed be and what ogive you want and how that is figured you...

If a core fits to tight in the jacket before you seat it air can get trapped under the core and be compressed causing the core to pop out.

I used just a file many times before I had milling capabilities.

I have a Contender that is older that one. Mine has a 4 digit serial number, a smaller trigger guard without the trigger stop screw. You may have a 2nd gen Contender.

Marlin Junkie is right it would be a collet neck sizing die that would be the same for both.

I am sure if aluminum would wear out a barrel faster than copper it would also wear out your check makers faster also. I am sure some of you have made many thousands of checks with your check makers....

Looking at the picture the modern steel barrel would have had to split before the receiver ring on the old action let go.the pressure had to be enough to burst a modern steel barrel. It wasn't...

A boat tail bullet will reduce drag at all speeds but very little until the bullet has slowed below the speed of sound, when it reduces drag the most. A boat tail bullet does much more for a bullet...

Why would a boat tail bullet give you nothing in performance with a subsonic round when the boat tail has no effect until the bullet has slowed to subsonic. QUOTE=Reload3006;1954216]on a subsonic...

I have paper patched 300 grain jacketed bullets that were .500. I paper patched them up to .512 and they shot very well in my 50/70 Sharps.

Exactly, Newcastter.

There was tests made and a mixture of 50/50 ATF and acetone beat all the commercial products like WD-40, Kroil, liquid wrench and all the others by a very wide margin.

My Corbin die makes a jacket at .219, core seat at .223 and point form at .224. If a jacket is .2235 and after core seat it is .2235 and point form it is .2235 the core is not tight in the jacket....

The final size is would be right at .2235 but the bullet was never swaged up during the whole process so the core is loose. read all the posts.

what caliber do you shoot .2335 bullets in. I have been swaging bullets with Corbin dies for 36 years.I don't think .2335 is a standard size.

He did have loose cores if you look at the post where he said the jackets came out of the derimmer at .2235 they came out of the core seat die at .2235, they came out of the point forming die at...

I think it is obvious what happened. The base of the jacket was almost punched through during derimming. We have all punched the base out of a jacket, but this is rare if you anneal them first. The...
