I don’t think that it was new in the wrapper but that he thought it was new as it was in cosmoline, wrapped in paper at the hardware store. He was just a farm kid buying an affordable rifle at the...

I have used Remington 200 gr round nose bullets and every shot was DRT.
I then tried Hornady 180 gr SSP bullets at a reduced load and got DRT with significantly less recoil.

I’m guessing that it is arsenal refurbished as it was in cosmoline but has mixed parts. The receiver, barrel, stock, and front band are Winchester but the cocking piece is Remington and the safety...

My buddy returned with the rifle.
The rifle is a U.S. MODEL OF 1917. The serial number under 100,000. The barrel is marked W 11-17 and has five grooves. After cleaning the bore is bright and...

The big question is how to go about getting the right mold for him.
I don’t have anything that he could try.

My buddy is seeing the light. He wants to give cast bullets a go. He is having a National Match M1a built with a 1/12” twist Krieger barrel. It will have a match chamber.
He asked me about what...

H450 is a fantastic powder for the 6.5x55 with 140gr and up bullets. In that application magnum primers aren’t needed. On a progressive it is awesome.

The stock is mostly inletted but it requires some bedding. What commercial “carbon black” is recommended? Any bedding tips?
The stock is nicely sanded but does have open grain.

Sarco has new 1903 Springfield stocks for sale. I bought one and it is beautiful. It is very close to being a drop in. It has enough inletting that needs to be done to ensure a tight fit. They are...

He said that is ammo was lead tipped commercial. One box was 150 gr and one was 220 gr. He remembered that the 220 seemed to kick harder.

Thank you Larry. I think that is a U.S. Rifle M1917. My friend is nearly 80 now and he bought it when he was a teenager growing up on a farm at the hardware store. He says that it was new in a...

What is a fair price for a 1917 Enfield that was bought new in the wrapper many years ago, fired less than fifty times, and then placed in a closet for decades?
Thank you

Is it OK to shoot .312” jacketed (Hornady 174 gr RN) in an Enfield No4 mk2?

Why not ream it out to 308 Win and be done with it?

For your Enfield you might want to gas check first, then powder coat, and then size to fit the throat.

Probably a dumb question but would powder coating soft lead work?

Thank you everyone. I have been afraid to use scarce brass but now can confidently get my SMLE back in action.

If one neck sizes, anneals the case neck every three firings, and shoots only moderate or less cast bullet loads, what case life can one expect from a No4 MkI Enfield? Will a fresh No4 Mk2 do better?...

If you shoot 38 Special loads in a Marlin how hard is it to clean it to get the carbon out of the chamber?

I have killed lots of deer using the 175 gr Ranch Dog cast with water quenched COWW. None went over 75 yards, many dead within 10.
