I looked at a couple of dies like 8mm but it seems like just backing the die out is probably the best bet. Thanks guys.

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew of a .45-75 neck sizing die any company makes? Alternatively, does anyone use a different die like .45 Colt as a neck-sizing die? I don't have one so...

Thanks so much for the help everyone it sounds like there's no reason to assume it will have problems so I'll just try it out and hope for the best.

Indian Joe. It's UK pricing so may mean...

I have found a Chaparral Winchester 1876 for sale near me with the nicest-looking wood and finish I've ever seen on a reproduction 1876. It comes with a tang sight as well and is beautiful. I was...

Hi everyone, hope it's not a problem to revive this thread.

I was having what seemed to be an inconsistent burn with Lee C309-200-R cast bullets and 33.4 grains of VVN140 in .30-06. I didn't think...

Wasn't sure if this should be here or in the lever action section but thought gunsmithing made sense.

So I bought a Uberti-made Henry 1860 for not all that much money but it is an engraved one so...

Hi everyone and thanks for the advice. I had actually tried running the case with bullet in partially through the FL sizer but I thought it was a bad idea so was hesitant. I'm glad that wasn't just...

Ok I can try that. I ran them through a .429 sizer so don't think they're too fat.

So I've started loading .44-40 with the once-fired magtech brass, bullets from a Lee 429-200-RF 6 cavity mould and using a set of RCBS cowboy .44-40 dies.

I found that once the brass has been run...

Thanks so much for all the great advice guys. For the most part the American powders are prohibitively expensive here so I will try to find safe loads similar to the IMR and Hodgson suggestions using...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Reloader 19 and IMR 4350 are much slower powders than I was expecting people to be getting good results with. I assumed everyone would use relatively small charges of...

I have a US Krag (Springfield 1898) that I am hoping to shoot something similar to the original service load through so around 220gr bullet going 2000 ft/s ish. I don't mind going slower I'd just...

Ok well, that's great as the Lee molds certainly won't break the bank. I may have to get one of those and see how the results compare.

Given the bore is .318 and the throat is .323 I've been...

So I have a Gewehr 1888 which has the S marking indicating it is Spitzer proofed. I have been shooting 198gr spitzer boat tails through it with good accuracy and no signs of doing any harm to the...

So ITAR means that anything American is often prohibitively expensive over here, especially primers and powder. We do however get a lot of European stuff. We get lots of Sellier & Bellot and PPU....

Yeah .303 brass is one of the most abundant types of brass you find at the range in the UK. From what I've heard it's probably on par with what .30-06 is like over there. This means that I have a...

I'm in the UK and no one here sells .30-40, except at extortionate prices, places like Grafs won't sell to the UK. I've advertised the 8x57r for sale here but no one seems to want it.

I realise that this is not necessarily the way most people would go but I have a bag of 100 pieces of 8x57 JRS brass that was sold to me as 8x57 JS so is useless to me. I do however have a .30-40...

Hey guys thanks so much for the info I'm glad to hear the Lyman is not discontinued it must just be out of stock everywhere. It certainly seems like that's the best choice from what everyone says....

Apologies if this is an often discussed topic but I've had a look around and the consensus seems to be that the Lyman 311359 mold is the best one for accuracy out of the M1. As far as I can tell...

I think maybe the metal is too thick but I'm not really sure how I would thin out such an awkward shape.

I have a Gewehr 88 which uses en-bloc clips and I have some originals that work great. I also have some repro ones that I was given that seem to splay out when ammo is inserted into them so they...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions I'll have a look at it now and see what can be fixed

I have had to replace the tumber in my Snider's lock and now the trigger pull has become absurdly heavy. Can anyone suggest anything to reduce the trigger pull? I assumed the problem might be that...

Yeah, he is a great resource and his videos are what got me interested in these shooting qualifications to begin with. I assume though that other countries had them and so I really want to find the ...
