The Lyman 220 gr lead RN must be close. My load for that boolit is 5 Gr Win 231 gave me avg vel of 710 fps with a Standard Deviation of 13.
Another load I have used are 5.3 gr of 231 for 815...
Read your comment regarding priming systems. The system used on the Dillon 550 couldn't be easier to operate and use. How are they a PITA? Pull handle up case is re-sized. Push handle forward and...
If you are loading the old military rounds I have come to like the Lee collet die system. Have them now in .303 Brit and .308. I shoot lead and am slowly moving to the Lee FCD to lightly crimp my...
Almost by definition a muzzle loader. No moving parts! Now if you want to discuss repeating actions then you have to guess the Mauser action though as lovedogs has pointed out strong enough is...
New Norinco M1A's are rock solid. Forged parts throughout. Mine will do 4" @ 100 yards with a number of tests cast boolit loads and I don't usually shoot that well with iron sights. $399Cdn!

Hey Dave good to see you back...in one piece as well. Haven't seen any Roo meat in Canada. Might be some in the Gourmet Stores but I can't imagine the Tree Huggers buying Joey meat. Here on the...
Looking for Jacket or Cast favourite loads for .308 Win or 7.62 Nato. Going to shoot them in my new M1A Norinco. Will be shooting 311291 Lyman boolits and an array of jackets.

4.7 gr Unique under my cast 124 gr boolits works just fine. Very accurate. FYI 4.1 gr will make IPSC and IDPA PF in any of my several 9MM.
3.9 gr Win 231 also makes PF for IPSC and IDPA and...
Quick update, I reported I replaced the front sight with a shorter one. Gun placed three shots center right on the 25 yrd 1"x11/2" black zone. To wet and slushy to walkout a 100 yd target. Which...
Guys up here who have reported on them generally give the pistol a thumbs down.
Pros:
It is a sSig
It looks good
Cons.
Problems with failure to feed
Just a quick up date I replaced the front sight with one 60/1000 shorter. You sight the #4 rifle in at 25 yards with a six o'clock hold. Aiming point is a 1" x 1 1/2" Black rectangle. Gun was...
I have read here that some guys fill their bores up with Ammonia and leave it over night. The other day a guy up here says to me that Ammonia will react with steel and I should not leave it...
Well I had my little lady out today. It was snowing with the temp just below freezing. Due to a number of reasons tests were shot at 50 yards rather than 100 yards. Using IVI 174 gr FMJ Ball managed...
I am off to the range today if the rain holds off. I have some FMJ and soft points to run through her. I plan on using the targets as a bench mark to compare results with my cast Lee boolits. Just...
Here is where the rifle was made and by whom. With a population of 10 million at the time and a million men in arms the ladies had to step up to the plate.

Here are the pictures. Must say I feel like a kid in a candy shop. Will do some casting today and tomorrow armed with some new IVI .303 British from my Ranger friends I'll do some testing and...
Friend who had it has shot 2" groups with it so it should be a shooter with cast boolits. I will take your advice and see how the old girl does. The Canadian Gals that put her together did it with a...
Well I just scored on a Longbranch with about 150 rds through it. I have been on the look out for one for over a year. Trading a .38S&W Webley and a Webley MKe VI .455 Colt for it. Will have to...
Lyman's two books,:
Lyman's Pistol & Revolver Reloading Handbook
Lyman's Cast Bullet Handbook
Two of the best along with:Hornady Manual is a good start.
Don't forget most of the...
What a waste of money. We were on the same road until the Conservatives got elected. I think if we got in the same mess most of us would refuse to turn our guns in. Up here we have had it up to...
I wonder if the Soslo will be offered in a handgun platform. Lets face it we need another cartridge chambered for the 1911. Put an end to the debate over which pistol provides the best "knockdown"...
Since we are on about .45acp bullets I tried 250 cowboy commercial bullets a month or so ago. I only had a few and wanted to see of they would feed ok and they did! Fed through my Norinco (It feeds...
When they don't post the price on their website it falls under the category, "If you have to ask you can't afford it!".:mrgreen:
Man you could go into business with one of those machines in a...
Well I just couldn't resist now that it is Christmas. The Press for someone who has everything and thinks he needs more.
