Anyone have a barrel threaded for LR Mauser 98 laying around? Or at the least advice on where to go to find a new-to-me one? Open to almost anything--this action I have is sound, but the 8mm Mauser barrel on it is rusty and shot out, so time to go. -jkpq45

Having a hard time trusting my Lee Modern Reloading book since one of the loads listed in the "normal" .45LC section shows 29500 PSI (yikes). Some of the loads for the "normal" .45LC show velocities for a 230-260gn pill up into the almost-1000fps range. The problem with these loads is they...

Looking for a modern double (external) hammer shotgun. Doesn't have to be new, but would be nice (I think my only option is the CZ?) Any chance I can stay sub-$700? Any advice is appreciated. -jkpq45

Hi All, I have a 12ga O/U Stoeger Condor that balances really well for me for clays. My wife would like to try it out as well but it would be nice to use a 20ga barrel set on the same frame for her. I know there are other options (like buying a complete new O/U) to get her into 20ga, but do...

Hi All, I've got a crazy idea cookin', mostly from my surplus of .30-06 brass and my .30 Gibbs Reamer laying around. If I cut a .30 Gibbs chamber to a brass depth of 1.750", is there any reason I couldn't: 1. Use either .30-06 brass or .308/7.62x51 brass as the parent? 2. Feed the cartridge...

Here's the plan: .30-06 cartridge as parent case, necked down to .243. Kinda like 240 Gibbs. I have a 6mm-284 reamer I'd like to run into my 243 Win barrel about 2.500". This will create a chamber diameter of about 0.5042" at the breech face. What will happen to the .30-06 case when I try...

I bought this reamer from PTG, thinking about turning a rim recess into the chamber and using .30-30 WCF brass as the parent instead. Regardless, I'm not too sure where to start with this beast. No reloading data I've found; the chamber reamer is an improved version of the .30 Remington case...

Hi All, I have a wild idea. Consider the following part from Numrich: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/584530.htm Assuming the action is strong enough, what sort of pressure would this barrel stand up to? Ignore the weird twist rate and bore/groove diameter for a moment--would this...

I've heard whispers around the 'net that a piece can be changed on the Lee Collet Neck Sizing Die for .223 and it can be used for loading 204 Ruger. Any truth to that? I'm trying to get set up for 204 and am cheap, so don't want to buy new dies :-). Thanks, jkpq45

Hello All--Mods, please feel free to move the topic if I'm in the wrong sub-forum. I'm considering a wildcat cartridge along the lines of .450 Bushmaster using a rimless, headspacing-on-the-case-mouth cartridge utilizing the wide variety of 0.450"-0.454" projectiles available for .45ACP, 45LC...
