I prefer the Lyman to the RCBS, as the Lyman step gives you an advantage in alligning and seating cast bulletts. The RCBS plug is funnel shaped and only acts on the mouth of the case. I have three...

I'll go with KTW. We started (1957) with 310s in 30-06 and 45 Auto, scoops, and cast bulletts. I often loaded the next days shooting around the fire. We went to Trueline JR's as we could use the...

You guys had better shoot one before going overboard on it. My '99 in 358 was a killer on boath ends! The Winny '88 has the same reputation. Too much drop at comb on the stock, or so I'am told. ...

311413 is a generally unrelyable performer. Go with 311291, or better yet 311467, and you will be a lot happier a lot faster. Good luck

You might like to try 23 GR 4227 behind the 411467. My A3 two groove loves this load.

Leadman, Your barrel could be a 30-03 as Bannerman used those also. The sight is most certainly a Lyman. It's still a keeper, but I would stick with casties as the metalurgy in those guns isn't...

If you cast your own, it's a necessary tool. Mine both are early style and have quite a few miles (bullets!) on them. I love them. Find an old Lyman handbook for directions, and enjoy your press.

Quite a few Krags have cracks in the bolts just behind the locking lug. I would have the gunsmith check it before shooting. I have one with a medium worn barrel and I love it. It's smooth as silk....

Is that snow I see outside the window?? You've got a fine shooter there boy. Don't waste it.

Your sporterized Krag dates to the 1920s. The sight is an original Lyman. The barrell is probably a cut down '03 done by Bannerman. The rifling will tell you. The original Krag and some '03...

The good book says not to covet, so I'll have to look away... Beautiful piece, congrats!!

Well I've learned somthing on this board.!! My limated experience with long eye releaf (pistol scopes) certainly wouldn't encourage me to attempt the "scout rifle" thing. I tend to be a "slow...

Personally, I can't see any advantage in foreward mounting. The foreward mounted german WW2 snipers had very narrow fields of view, about half of what we would expect today. The mounting was a...

I'll go with the Canuk. You've got to carry one of these Rugers. It just isn't heavy enuf. I found an antique Bushnell 3X Command Post to put on mine. Whatta beautiful woods rifle, and (free...

I would humbly suggest that U try Lyman 311291 as you can get two for the same weight. They shoot superbly in my 03-A3. Up here in PA, we stalk and shoot them with a .22 and good glass.

Respectfully, I think you're under gunned. Around here we hunt with the mighty .22 long rifle and good glass. ..!!

I would suggest the Lyman 311291. In the Winny '94 the accuracy is excellent. We've been using them for years. Most deer in PA are taken at under 40yds. So a high five on the overpowered...

Getting old does not suck, unles you can't spend enuf time at the range..!! I favor the '06 as I mostly shoot heavy cast bullets, 165-240 gr. These are more accurate as less wind sensative at cast...

My Lyman book says 173 grains with gas check in #2 alloy. This bullet shoots beautifully in 30-30 or 30-06 at around 1600 FPS. You will need to use the crimping groove in the 30-30. Start moderate...

My buddy did that to a nice 03 by doubling a 4227 charge on a handload. The case was the same, base melted. No sympathy, as our brother should have tried it with military fodder and proper...

Wayne, you need your head examined..!! If you want to explore the limits of pain, get yourself a Ruger #1 or a Marlin 1895. At least they will put them in nice groups at the destination..!!

Potsey, with the Remington 300 JHPs, the entrance on my doe was 2 fingers and the exit three. The deer didn't seem to be hit and dropped about twenty yards up the trail. I think that I don't need...

JBAR, I wasted a year of fiddlin with one of these. My H&R was an early one with the plastic trigger guard. I tried 5 different kinds of cast bullets and any number of loads. A consultation with a...

I have had really sweet results with a 2 groove A3 that I picked up. The gun was butchered, but the bore is near new. Try Lyman 311467 and 311284 at about 1500 fps. You will like it! I hate to...

16 grains of 4227 or 23 grains of 3031 behind a Lyman 311284 both perform superbly in my A3s. The fifty yard groups stay reliably within two inches. 30 grains of 3031 pushing a 311291 also shoots...
