Well, it started as an add on non-functional prop for an upcoming movie but I figured that it would be just as easy to make a functional one. Then, if there is a functional one why not actually work...

PC'd the cast bullets that I had purchased that started at .310", after PC'ing they came out to .312-.313 so now have some more load work up to do.

I've found EvapoRust to work well. It's basically non-hazardous (just don't drink it) and probably is a combination of citric and oxalic acids plus maybe some EDTA. It won't harm solid metal, only...

Suppressor is done and registered.

Have run several 180 gr jacketed loads using H4895 that seem promising - still need to run them over a chrony and check group size....

Was Huntington Die Specialties an inherent part of RCBS or a separate entity?

Thanks again for your guidance! The .308 subsonic data was what I have been reviewing having come to the same reasoning as you in regards to case capacity and basic bore dimensions. I might even have...

While waiting for some heavy cast boolits, I loaded up a few Sierra 190 gr. Spitzers (.311 dia.) with 7.5 gr. of Bullseye (plus some standard velocity with IMR 4350). Standard velocity fired fine (no...

Nice catch! Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of sectioning a bullet but am a bit hesitant as I don't want to discover that it has an incendiary element...

As noted, they have maroon tips, not red. Red tip would have been WWII vintage tracers (later changed to orange post WWII). M2 would be black tip - AP. The maroon appears to be the M62A1 tracers as...

The color is similar to that used on Soviet/Russian API or APIT ammo but those should be .310-.312" diameter. Perhaps a straight incendiary round?

I have acquired a few J-Words that I haven't ID'd yet. They are .308 diameter, military, 145 gr., with a maroon colored painted tip. As can be seen in the photo they are a closed based tracer at a...

Thanks for the info! In general, would loads for .45 ACP (200 - 230 grain bullets) seem to be a relatively good starting point? I hadn't though about the flash hole but that makes a lot of sense...

Looking for recommendations for some subsonic heavy boolit CB loads for a suppressed Mosin Nagant.

Working up plans for an updated (internals) BraMit style suppressor and need a starting load...

Here are a couple of conversions of 1858 Remingtons using Kirst/Richards style design. These were in .44 C&B then .45 Colt. These were done for Sam Worthington's use in The Last Son movie.

If you are thinking of a .36 C&B conversion be aware that the conversion cylinders are typically .38 Special. Bullet diameter for .38 SPL is .358 and bore diameter for .36 C&B is .375. Options are to...

I finally completed the Remington barrel installation. Just needed a spacer tube to bridge the distance from the front barrel ring to the magazine cap. Made one out of aluminum tubing and then coated...

A rimmed cartridge should headspace on the rim, not the shoulder. The chamber can actually be somewhat sloppy from that standpoint as the shoulder just needs to allow the cartridge to chamber....

My understanding is that for the fastest ignition from the pan the powder in the pan should be tilted away from the flash hole so that you don't get a fuse effect but rather the flash from the pan...

My .410 upper works okay but not all 2 1/2" shells are short enough to run through the magazines. Fun toy but practicality is something else.

I built an SBR in 10mm using a lower from Joe Bob...

Well, according to some of the woke newscasters the AR bruised them up, the muzzle blast caused a concussion, and they were suffering from PTS. And that was in .223...

Look for a used flinter to start. The Thompson Centers, and other European manufactured ones seem to be common, especially on Gunbroker. The cheapest ones (probably in quality as well) would be...

I agree that the 1877s are a PITA to try to fix. Finding parts is an issue in itself but just trying to get the necessary moving parts to work together is a challenge. I've been able to get a couple...

I'll agree that the Beretta is a bit bigger gun. For me the BHP works well; take a look at some of the used clones on the market - FEG and Israeli Kareen versions. The S&W M39 works but is an...

I leave the wooden RR in place at the range and use a TOW delrin version instead. Much more forgiving and sturdy.

So, is it false advertising on Military Heritage's part? They sell them as a non-shooter. What people try to do with them after receipt is beyond their control. If someone wants one set and ready to...
