Just came up from the laboratory,,, and our (my son's and I) question of the day is: Since our Lyman Orange Crusher press has a camming action that repeats itself,, Is it neccessary to take a casing through both trips of the handle?:confused:
I think it would be pretty cool, something that you don't see very much of.
1. Should it be done before "truing and rebarrelling"?
2. Would it strengthen or weaken the action?
Whats you fellas think of this idea?
I found this product called Markron Custom Bullet and Primer sealer at Cabelas. It comes "highly recomended" by some groups.
Anyway do any of you fellas use this product or do you have another that could be even better?
I know there isn't an overwhelming need to seal them but it may just be...
The question is this: If a rifle shoots a factory cartridge very nicely, is it too much to ask it to shoot different bullet and powder combo's as well?
Next question: Should I keep buying different powders and components, to try to repeat the results from the said factory ammo.
(I am not yet...
I purchased an old Turkish Mauser, and with it I'd like to build a 6.5-06. I'm trying to get some figures and some info on what exactly needs to be done.
I know that I will have to send it off to be rebarreled and the bolt trued and some other cosmetic and accurizing steps.
I appreciate some...
It's been rode hard and put up wet, but I didn't spend much on it. I'd like to know a little more but every link I find on the web turns up nothing solid. here's pics......
A friend has asked me to help find an appraiser for a rifle collection, numerous older pieces, trap-doors, rolling blocks double rifles, japanese world war 2 rifles, etc.
I could use some of you fellars advice on some older rifles.
A friend of mine's dad has passed and he wants to get an accurate idea of values of some guns and possibly some swords. Any help would be appreciated at this time.:) I'm having a small problem with him sending me emails with pics...
What is the best shooting stick apparatus in the market today?
I bought myself the Primos Tri-pod Trigger-sticks outfit but it malfunctioned the very first outing.:mad: I did get another set to give it another chance, but I was wondering how you guy's see those other shootingstick designs.
I...

Just picked mine up this morning down at the Basspro. How did we ever get by without it??? It's just easy as it can be to get the "jump" or non-"jump" correct. :) I used the candle method a long time back to figure it for the family 700, 3006. But this is seemingly easy peasy!!:) (I don't have...
Handloads.com , has any of you fellas takin a look at that site yet? I picked one up for my 7mm rem mag, using 150 grn Ballistic Tips and Partitions. I think I'm going to try them.:)
First I just want to set the record straight, I had NO idea that inconsistant bullet weights were possible, especially from MAJOR MANUFACTURES!!!!:barf::mad: I just weighed a half box of 7mm Rem Mag Ballistic Tips from Nosler,(i already loaded the other half) and what I found was this 1. One...
All right before we go too far, let's just say something in a .243 win (because she loves her youth model Rossi) because she is proficient with her rifle but its a little small (short) for her! She will be deer hunting in long open pastures And some woodland strips with it. :) GOT ANY...
Hey fellas, just give me your favorite loads and bullet weights, and rifles that you shoot the loads from. That's about as straight forward as I can get,:o I'm going to pick up my 7mm dies and maybe some powder today.;)
