OK. Longer nose then. Look at the 34-220A. Request that the front band and crimp groove be shifted rearward slightly, expand the meplat by .02", and adjust the nose taper and length of the bore...

This is where I've arrived on many things - ESPECIALLY since I got into bullet casting. Between manipulating alloy, nose shape, and adding hollowpoints, you can often pick one cartridge and tweak...

Would you rather commute to work every day in a common, reliable car that always starts, always runs, always gets you where you need to go, has commonly available parts and accessories, and runs on...

NOICE!!

My Dad snagged a long barreled '95 Krag a few years back & I got to help him with the pre-shoot, tear down and clean up. That action is an absolute BEAST. Friendly tip: Accurate...

Remember Remington? Or perhaps more to the point, remember Titanic? It seems really efficient to have a lot of folks travelling on one boat. . .right up to the point that boat sinks. . .or in the...

1. Look at the case mouth dimension on the cartridge blueprint in your loading manual.

2. Taper crimp to match the blueprint.

Does it need to be any more complicated than that?

A 10/22 that shoots 9mm from cheap, reliable Glock mags? What's not to like?

I have the carbine with the standard sporting rifle stock and the ventilated handguard. I set it up with AR flip up...

If I had both guns on a table in front of me and an angry forest creature approaching, I would grab whichever one DIDN'T have finger grooves on the grips and not worry about who's name was stamped on...

I've got to track down some photos of 1950's Chinese troops. I wonder if the lack of penetration stories had anything to do with their chests being covered with ammo pouches full of SKS stripper...

I've got very little Luger experience under my belt, but I learned quite a bit about how semi autos feed when I experimented with running the TOO LARGE meplat 452423 in the 1911.

Our rounds don't...

Buffalo Arms can do custom sizing dies for the Lee / RCBS pattern. .352-.353 should be within their abilities.

You're creeping up into the "gas checks might be a good idea" range with the .351. ...

You won't get a better offer than Nobade's

Other than round ball for muzzle loaders, probably the best use of pure is going old school for binary lead/tin mixes such as 20-1 that will expand...

Wisdom came in the form of an old box of Remington 220 grain round nose Core Lokt I found kicking around. Those ran fine in the mentioned sample guns. I then tried matching the longer OAL of those...

Can't tell you much about the factory stuff, only that the dusty attic of my brain clearly recalls seeing factory 150 grain scattered here and there.

50th Edition Lyman lists a starting...

I'm with Delkal in thinking that Lyman #2, with a gas check for your purposes and intense loadings, would more than fit the bill. I'd expect slight compression of the nose on impact, but very little...

Read the "Bullet Information" section in Montana BW's site. They clearly understand the problems involved. He mentions using both Lyman #2 of 15BHN and what they call "HT" for hunting. You want to...

Is this revolver going to serve any other purpose beyond "gamer gun"?

If no, a lighter bullet with as much taper to the nose, and no SWC shoulder will give you the least recoil and the smoothest...

Pretty much. The sizing die process reduces the likelihood of the problem I had. I tumble lube wherever practical to eliminate the sizing process entirely, so while I could have run my NOE Ranch...

You'll hear "Fit Is King" a lot on this forum with regards to getting the diameter sized right for the barrel and having a bullet that interfaces well with the chamber throat and rifling leade.

I...

Take a look at the Accurate Molds 34-170M. Appears to be about exactly what you're looking for.

DING! DING! DING!

25-1 (9BHN), 20-1 (10BHN), 16-1 (11BHN), and 10-1 (12 BHN) span the range between where a solid, flat-nosed bullet will almost definitely deform on impact to where there's a fair...

On the one hand, as obvious as it's been that Sig has someone performing "oral arguments" for key members of Pentagon staff, this seems potentially as honest as "troops taking part in the trial...

Virtually everything on the Accurate website started as someone's custom order.

Remember that revolvers are going to lock in your nose location at the crimp groove, and the only way to practically...

Nope. I read (ok. . .ATTEMPTED to read) a couple of the threads covering the process of working copper into casting alloy. Over my head - or at least my patience level - but really seems like...

In theory, you could get up to and maintain operating temperature using just two holes, but (a) not the way the blocks are designed to run, and (b), you're going to get overflow from one hole to the...
