What is the .41 Special?
Other than a BB gun the first thing I grew up on was a 410 Remington Shotgun that was my dad's. Used it for rabbit and duck hunting. Not to pat myself on the back but after so many years I was damn...
Have never had a problem with these headstamp cases before for the 223. Last week I grabbed a couple of handsful of cleaned 45ACP cases to load up for my cast boolit. I got together 20 that were...
Another welcome and a +1 for the info from versifier.
Mixed brass for plinking?, no problem. No chrony?, no problem either. Just keep watching for over pressure signs in your loads. Also watch for low pressure signs. If you are going to really get...
Haven't been here in a while but welcome to the forum.
And that is a process that is called smoking the bullet. I would still like to see some type of pic or a reasonable post about cases like the 45, 9mm or 380 that is supposed to headspace on the mouth...
I still have a lot of milsurp Turk, Ecuadorian and Romanian for the 8x57 that I shoot from time to time. I use the hot, soapy water method when cleaning the bore as it removes the salts left from the...
Large rifle are actually longer than Large pistol, not thicker. The diameter is roughly the same. Small rifle will be longer than small pistol also. And the diameter is roughly the same.
Of course it is a down right insult but one can only expect such things with the way things are going with the idiots that are using weapons to shoot up schools and kill innocent young people at a...

Any good bore cleaner like Outers, Shooters Choice or Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber should do the job unless, as versifier stated, you let it bake on. Clean after every shooting session is your best...
This and that about calibers that headspace on the mouth of the case. Have questioned about it myself as I thought it was really important. Until I really understood the 45ACP headspaced on the mouth...
What was it Han Solo told Luke Skywalker in their first fire fight when Luke said he got one? I believe it was Great, but don't get cocky kid.
I know you feel great about your first handloads and it...
Dean there is a manual that is really helpful for determining what cases you have. The Lee Modern Reloading Second Edition. They give diagrams of the actual case and deminsions and you can set the...
Jim thank you. Understand. Does this theory hold true for cast boolits as you have no crimp groove? At least not the ones I cast. I can apply a crimp in the lube grooves if needed. But I think they...
Get yourself a good handloading manual like the Lees Modern Second Edition and read it from the front to the back first. Before looking up any data about different powder charges and such. It will...
I had similar problems with my Norinco when using Winchester Silvertips or any kind of Truncated cone bullet. The truncated cones would not feed reliably at all. The Silvertips kept getting pushed...
I tumble before resizing as I don't like to run dirty cases through my dies. Clean brass that I shoot myself may just need to be wiped with a towel before sizing but the range pickups I get are...
Many state that when loading for revolvers you need to crimp to stop the boolit from jumping forward out of the case and causing the cylinder to lock up because the cartridge is to long. Others state...
Hi Jim and welcome. Really not concerned about seeing your ugly mug.:)
I gotta' say, for the price you paid for your primers and powder it's not all that bad. Some can't even find any right now. My...
I love two and it is hard pressed for me to pick a difference between either of them.
Ruger GP-100 with 6"stainless full underlug barrel.
Norinco Model of the 1911A1 with a Parkerized slide and...
Paranoid or not I think versifier is correct and that's why I don't like to shoot in any indoor range. Working with lead cast bullets when smelting and casting and shooting in indoor ranges would...
And what was the final fix?
Stupid is as Stupid does. I would INDEED send a message to the branch manager and to his or her supervisors. If I want to get that kind of abuse I can just stay at home and get it from the wife:)...
