    Has any got access to real BP pressure curves ?

    There's an awful lot of "as reported on the internet" and hand-drawn pictures out there. And an absolutely incredible amount of "...it's well-known..." knowledge. But does anyone have real data comparing BP v Smokeless pressure curves in BPCR cartridges?

    New (but old/pristine 1979 vintage) REM 1100LW Skeet-T RIO 410 2-1/2" Skeet loads. Primers regularly backing out to the point of dropping into the action. Tried two different manufacturing Lots. Same result. Spent primers were so loose that I could push them in or pull them out w/ my fingers...

    REM_1100LW ... safety ?

    I picked up a near-mint 1979 REM 1100LW Skeet in 410 for my grandson the other day. Is it my imagination (or lack thereof) that it has no safety ?

    Small Flash Holes on new Peterson 7mm-BR brass

    Peterson recently began supplying new 7mmBR brass (Thank-you. My 1988-vintage RP brass was getting a bit long in the tooth) But they come with SMALL flash holes (0.060"±) My old brass/old RCBS sizing dies are large (0.080") pin. Before I grab a 5/64 drill and open the holes up to ~0.080"...

    I've been playing with the RCBS 357-180 SIL in a 357 `94 Marlin 24" Cowboy, and ran into a Cast Bullet Association article citing a CE Harris load using IMR4198: > ...a C.E. Harris load-- A 357 case full of 4198(17 gr) and a 190gr bullet. > I shot 5 rounds into about 3". I didn't have any...

    I've had a (Farmingdale) Shiloh Sharps 45-3¼ since `81; and over years of sporadic shooting have experienced several unexpected case separations about an inch above the head. All of these loads are Black Powder (GoEx 1Fg and/or Swiss 1½), and with both RCBS and HDS (Huntingdon) cases. Today...

    Lethal force in Tempe teenager shooting

    Much as I absolutely despise the replica guns in the hands of kids -- and the predictable aftermath when law enforcement encounter/have to make instantaneous decisions -- I think the police are going to have a very difficult time explaining how this shooting started/went down...

    Once again. . . Accurate Molds

    Looking for a very specific soft-alloy**/plain-base/standard-lube capability in both base, nose, and grease-groove design for Ram Bashing* I wrote Tom Ellis on Monday/24 Sept to ask if he could make a combined-spec 45 caliber rifle mould: On Tuesday noon, 25 Sept, he wrote back to say...

    Winchester/Miroku 1886 Extra Light (22") 45-70

    I happened to run across one of the new-production 1886s the other day and commented that I needed another 45-70 like a hole-in-the-head. After three days of looking/reading/sporadic handling... I again came to the conclusion that I needed another 45-70 like a hole-in-the-head. Then I read all...

    CABELAS' New Business Model

    After a short/rainy RSO duty day, I took the drive out to the local/new Cabelas on the way home. I had intended to do nothing more than pick up a few plastic 357 ammo boxes for reloads -- and maybe look at any new toys that might drag me over to look. Instead I found the...
