I bought a lot of RL 25 when I was told that was the Jamison powder. I'm trying to get an accurate round using Lehigh bullets and the RL 25 is dis appointing.So, I'm soliciting suggested powder recommendations for 408 CT using Lehigh bullets. If you've got a good load with another bullet, please...

I have 5 presses set up at the moment. My favorites are the Rockchuckers-2 of 'em. However they spill the primers all over when decapping. One has a U shaped catch that leaks continually and the other has a weird triangle with two basins which is worse.The slot in the ram for a priming system...

So i got load data from Lapua"s site. I loaded 51 grains of n560-mid low range. just a couple 'cause that's 4 grains over my 4831 load.It was about 2 feet higher than the 4831 load that I usually shoot at 1k.I have incrementally greater loads that the weather has kept me from trying. Lapua says...

I would like to convert a 1911 in 45 acp to 38 super. It is an American Classic. I have no idea where to start. Can I do this myself with drop in parts? Parts recommendations? Gunsmiths around here are few and not exactly pros. Thank you for any suggestions, Art

I loaded some 38's and 357's before noticing the 357's require a mag primer. Do not have any, store have none and I do not care enough to pay for mail order. I'm only doing a couple hundred. BUT, a few 357's failed to fire in double action. Lotsa reasons possible for that, but I was wondering if...

Natchez has H335 .I got an 8 pounder . Hurry

My search here came up empty and google has what appears to be many guesses, so I'm asking if anyone can confirm the following: FC case Dwg. No.8347636 210 match Sierra 175MK 41.75 IMR 4064 I shot some factory ones and thought I'd make a few up 'cause I liked 'em.Probably will...

I keep less than a pound of powder in nalgene bottles made for my powder thrower. I noticed today that the three bottles of double base turned yellow. So I assume the plastic is absorbing something from the powder. Maybe nitroglycerin. Maybe the powder is now "changed"? Weaker? The bottles are...

So I've got a preban AR15. Colt R6700 and the trigger sucks. I'm finally getting around to replacing the trigger and my smith says he has to remove a not supposed to be removed for some reason pinned block behind the trigger. Maybe he does not know everything about it. I don't want him grinding...

I've been shooting it since about March. One of the places I use was open by then . It was only 100 yds. Since I had a prescribed break-in to do the range did not matter much.I shot the first 100 offhand. I like offhand[ my dad insisted I learn that way] and I was not out to score. The rifle is...

So when I asked the sales person at Wal- Mart when some bullets would be in, she said that Corporate told them this AM that there would be no more ammo orders.What they have on hand is it.She did not know any more. And Black Hills told my FFL man that they are not sending him anything for 8 to...

Don has about 20 of these he got in this am. Do not know price. 541-386-4867he'll answer the phone 'till 5 or so pacific time. e-mail is [email protected]'s very busy so probably won't look at e-mail till late.

While full length sizing mixed stamped 223's, one separated about 1.06" above the base. Very evenly as if cut with a pipe cutter.An odd place. It's stamped "C" at 10 and"J" with a hat at 2 and 93 at 6. Is this poor brass? Should I pitch it? I've no $ in it. Just working it up because i'm bored...

In Oregon , we have Bi-Mart stores. Kinda like K-mart and Walmart but not so big.They sell guns and ammo and reloading supplies and are 45 minutes closer than Portland.They have a sign over the counter in gun dept. that says "Calif. law prohibits them from selling guns to Calif. residents" This...

So I'm thinkin' I might run my own numbers so to speak. Not use an app. Anybody got a recommendation for a calculator? My mac computes but does not calculate. I saw a TI 89 that looks like it might suffice. I dunno. My dif.eq is 40 years behind. Thanks,Art

Man comes in to my local gun store while I'm hanging out there wanting to sell a suppressed Mac . It's .45 he says, has 12 mags too. $3500. Owner not class 3 and not interested. I know nothing, but seemed way cheap if indeed the gun was as described. I could tell nothing from looking. Is that a...

So, I bought some Jamison 408 to break in my rifle. It could be me. It could be the rifle ,or the ammo. Erratic results. I'm getting about 15% duds. Member NotA Guru, said that 1-6 off lands was optimum, so I'm resetting the OAL to get there.I'm having some difficulty assessing the...

I've been shooting a mile for a few days with mixed results. Today I got a keyhole. It's Jamison factory loads. 419gr. bullet and 131.4 gr. of powder. I pulled 3 apart and weighed the charge .All identical. Chey-Tac white paper leads me to believe this should not happen.I do get about 15% duds...

I have a 4-16x50 Habicht. I do not like the turrets. No reference marks and no perceptible axial movement. Know of anybody who can change them out.? Not in Austria. Nice glass and really don't want to dump it, but adjustments are tres dificile.

So this may be kind of a rant , but I'm curious if anybody has the same complaint. I tried to order from them and got a busy signal repeatedly.For hours. I used to tell people that they would answer before the phone would ring.I went to the store in Idaho-forget what town- but it was like...
