I have some old Herters shotshell load data and I will check to see if any of that might fit your needs. Also, old Speer loading manuals might have some information that would be useful.

I would say the 30-06 but that the 30-30 should also be considered. When I hunted up in the Donner Pass area of CA. most all carried a -06. But where I hunt here in WA. all I really need and carry...

I agree with Ed that using the 3031 is probably you best bet. According to one of my old Lyman manuals 3031 and 4895 are interchangeable. A2400 also works well as does 4227. My older manual starts...

Never yet had a sealed bearing fail in either my Ford or GMC trucks. But I do remember the old bearings on my 1955 GMC truck had to be constantly repacked. They were the old ball bearing type wheel...

When I first started reloading in the 60's Dad bought a 20 lb keg of H4831...it was cheap and we used it in 30-06 and .303 British, two rifles we reloaded for. Over the years I've acquired more...

I'm using a Bald Eagle Model 1231 ultrasonic cleaner. Works very well cleaning brass and engine carburetors. I got it from Grizzly tools.

ahhhhhhhhh ! you are using GI brass.....which is usually a bit thicker than non-GI. Have you tried resizing with commercial -06 brass and if so did you still have a problem ?

My wife and I have been using United Healthcare and have no complaints although so far our medical needs have been pretty simple...mainly blood clots for me. We are both 77 years old, non smokers.

I cast outside always, mostly in the fall and winter and always when there is a good breeze to clear out the smoke....the table is 3ft wide and 4ft long and sturdy.

yes the grip on the Medalist makes it so very easy to shoot. My uncle used to make his own custom grips as he was a competitive shooter. He would take an easy to shape material and first contour...
