Alliant 300 MP produces higher velocities that H110, W296, A#9, or 2400 in the .357, .41 Magnum and .480 Ruger loads I’ve tried using cast bullets that are “standard” weight or heavier for caliber....

Yes it can, same as unplated

It’s Bolt Action Rifles by Frank DeHaas. It’s a great reference for all things bolt action up to about 1980. The barrel shank drawings and dimensions are worth the price of the book. Assuming that a...

I empty my pots as part of my shut down process. I find letting the melt run completely out and then scraping the gunk from the insides and dumping it out keeps the nozzle clear and neither my RCBS...

Thin cases with the sharp K neck don’t take much lube to dent like that. The sharp neck seems to trap lube causing the dent.The vertical dent will eventually become a split, usually in 2 or 3...

If you are truly looking for a single mold the Lyman 311041, Lee 309-150-F, or NOE 311-184-FN J5
would all be good choices. The bonus with the NOE is that it can be ordered in plain base, gas...

Ray,

I’ll check and let you know

Since you landed on the .375 H&H you got a great cast bullet chambering that is quite tolerable with full velocity loads recoil wise and accurate with cast .38/55 loads. My scope choice wanders...

Last two molds from Lyman I purchased were the 226673 6.5 double cavity and it’s gorgeous in every way casting two round uniform bullets that are .226”+ a bit in diameter in my alloy. Couldn’t ask...

I pretty much use an alloy of about 20:1 for everything. I’ve been using scrap lead for 50 years. A free pound of lead free solder makes 20 pounds of pure lead more or less 20:1. Not...

Saeco 2 cavity RG 4

I've converted 150 .243 Winchester cases to 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm using Hornady dies and find that the sizing die is too short to full length size and trim. The case shoulders crumple when the case...

Bob,

That model of Redding press is the first reloading press I ever purchased 40 years ago. I have been using it ever since and it is still tight and smooth operating. I can't say that about most...

The well known gun writers tend to write about things they are given to test, either consumables or guns and other equipment. They certainly are not in the "consumer reports" mode of testing and...

I've made three batches of Ben's Red and have come to this method: start with the Red and Tacky and heat it, stirring constantly until it goes to a viscous liquid, keep on the heat and add everything...

From your description I am assuming that the rims on the Auto Rim cases are interfering with each other? What make and vintage are your cases. I'm using new Remington cases and a bunch of old Peters...

I've used the same .410 shotgun bore brush on an old Outers shotgun chamber brush handle for many years to remove the chamber ring in .357 chambers after shooting .38 special rounds. A couple of...

I've experimented with making a bullet trap with an angled plate like the Outers .22 RF/ airgun bullet trap and have had less than perfect success. Even the Outers spits fragments back at you...

What Strawhat beat me to, I used 1/2 of the metal tube from a SKS cleaning kit. You can't see it clearly but the notch is deeper and ground on an angle. Simply pushing down removes the case from the...

If you have a cutting torch, just burn the galvanizing off with the torch ( don't breath the fumes or you'll have diarrhea like you've probably never had). Any residue easy brushes off.


What at...

There are a suprising number of holster/gun leather collectors out there. I'd probably try to sell it on ebay. You might get enough to buy two holsters.

Well the first was unintentional. When I was a teenager I thought I'd cut a fat hog when I bought a gorgeous pre-64 M70 Super Grade in .300 H&H cheap. Went to the range and got it zeroed and was...

Unless I have .35 Whelan brass to neck down to set headspace, I'll use .270 and .30/06 brass. I prefer to use the Cream of Wheat method "COW". With either .270 or .30/06 I prefer once fired cases....

My first press was a Redding, just like you have acquired. I purchased it and a set of dies when I was 14 years old. ( over 40 years ago; time does fly). With the break over it was different than my...

Finally was brave enough to try something under .30 caliber again. .25/35 reformed from .30/30 brass, annealed, with Lyman 257312 as cast, no GC,tumble lubed with Ben's tumble lube, 8.8 grains...
