I was given an unopened tin of P-3.
The only info I can find it that the powder is faster than 2400 and primarily for9X19mm.
Anyone got any info on it?

Ante chambers are a complete nonsense and a PITA IMHO. I have been baby sitting a .54 GPR for quite some time and don't shoot it partly because I hate cleaning it. In contrast the straight barrel...

The fundamental issue is there are a lot of users of this forum who lack the social skills to conduct an intelligent and civilised discussion where differences of opinion exist.

Lately Kiera and I have been working on a couple of projects.
First off I taught her how to sew using her grandmother's sewing machine. I have done a lot of sewing in the past and made period...

Really interested I know the neck diameter of the chamber.

HHHMMM. Measure the inside of the mouth of the case and see what the I.D. is. What is the head stamp on that case? It is best to match the bullet diameter to fire case you see. Also, as David...

I shoot the CBE 320-120 and CBE 325-125 and both shoot well. Be sure to use proper .310 Cadet cases from Bertram to avoid headaches. For a long time I fought with .32-20 cases I converted and found...

I use exclusively 40-1 alloy and CBE moulds with great results. That alloy is approx. 7.8 BHN. Your harder alloys will not slug up the heel. 5gr of Unique works best for me.

I have had good success with duplicating Mk VII loads using cast. My bullet is a 175gr nominal from CBE in AU. I cast it in COWW with a splash of tin then heat treat them to 23 BHN. In order to...

I'm not sure you are pessimistic. My concern is the the digital age will leave nothing for future generations. After all; how many of you have a PC that can accept a floppy disc or even CD now?

Thanks for your replies. Just testing the water you see. I suspect younger people are probably happy with online. I like manuals too and especially the older ones for reasons stated above but these...

Nothing wrong with Carcanos. I like mine. Yes, it is rustic in the finish but it shoots fine. With those Hornady 160gr RNSP .268 bullets and a full charge I would be happy chasing down deer sized...

I had a 45 like that. Picked it up at the Creekside Gunshop in upstate NY in 1996 when I was visiting. I can tell you a Kiwi boy in upstate NY was a novelty for the natives.
