    Butchs Bore Shine will get copper out

    I posted a few months ago about a 7 mm mag that no matter what I did copper was always stuck to the lands. I tried Hoppes. Break free. Copper remover plus. And even the Bore shine. I let the bore shine set for 15 minutes per instructions and nothing. Saw a gunsmith yesterday having a little work...

    Unique with Hornady 250 xtp in 45 colt

    I've got 4 manuals and have been on line and can't find a recipe for unique in my Rossi 45 colt using the 250 xtp. I've loaded 260 and 290 cast with it but don't want to mess up on these. I can use Titegroup or HP 38 if nothing listed for unique. Hoping someone has manual or more info than I can...

    Thanking everyone for help and wishing all a Merry Christmas

    I looked at my first 100 posts or so starting in April of 2015. I had just gotten a 308 and a cheap reloading kit and 3 manuals. I asked so many questions it was a wonder you all didn't run me off the forum. I got some excellent tips on here. I looked at last page of my first post and was told I...

    Hunting Predators information needed.

    I've had some deer cams out in some woody area and starting to see coyote and bobcat. I've only shot one coyote in my life that run a bunch of deer off that had a nice buck coming behind them. This was all open field hunting. I would like to do some predator hunting just for fun and fur. Would...

    Williams Peep sight

    I just ordere the Williams sight with fiber optic front post for a Winchester 30-30 I bought back in 1972. New at the time and has been everywhere with me. Can't see the rear sight good enough anymore to feel adequate with it but hoping the peep works like my ar which allows me to see the front...

    Rossi 45 colt ballistic help

    I've been shooting 45 colt vaquero and wanting a rifle to match it. Old Marlins way too expensive and the Henry being a nice rifle is on the heavy side. I'm loading some 260 grain lead with 7 grains of unique. Havent chrono graphed yet. I had a Rossi in 357 and got rid of it because it would...

    Weatherby Vanguard

    I had a Remington 7-08 a few years back and was a so so rifle but didn't care much for the sps version. I was just handling a Vanguard in same caliber and I still have dies brass and several variations of bullets for it. The trigger seemed to break around 2.5 lbs or so just a guess. Don't know...

    Skinner peep on Henry

    I tried a skinner peep on the barrel of a Rossi 92 in 357 and as much as I fooled with it never got the accuracy I wanted. I've got the Henry brass receiver big boy in it now and want to put one that screws on the back. Wondering if front sight will have to be changed out. I want to keep as...

    Rcbs Chargemaster Combo

    Watching some videos of this unit it seems to fit what I want but it's reviews are about 50-50 for a $300.00 unit. Does anyone have and use one and is it worth it? I single load everything and weighing powder is slowest part for me . I usually load about 200 pistol cases a week and about the...

    I've been reloading this rifle for a year now with imr 4831 and it's been a tack driver. Can't find any now but was going through my powders and found 2 lbs of h4831 sc which I have loaded up quite a few for ladder tests. I also found a full pound of H1000 which I'm not sure of why I bought it...

    Henry 357 big boy steel and bullet selection.

    I ordered one of these so I could put a scope on it. Old eyes can't see rear sight anymore. I reload for my hand gun in 357 with 158 xtp. I want to use it on the 70 acres where I keep my horses. Up and down hollers and hills with 100 yard max shot. Deer loads is what I'm looking for and would...

    Reloading 45 colt

    I've been reloading 357 and 9 mm in handgun and several in rifle. Shot husbands 45 long colt today and honestly thought recoil would be bad but can't tell much difference than the 357 vaquero. Heavier shove than a snap. I'd like to start reloading this with Nosler sportsman bullets. Only handgun...

    Serrating Front Sight Blade on Vaquero

    I was shooting stainless Vaquero in bright sun today and was having a hard time keeping front sight in focus. Almost blinding. A shooter next to me said he had one at home that he had our local gunsmith serrate the front blade and it cured the issue for him. Anyone ever had this done? I called...

    I've got a glock 26 and although I'm not the best hand gun shooter I can manage minute of criminal at 20 feet or so. I'm wanting to try a Sig 1911 in its place or go to a glock 19 with a little longer sight radius. I manage to shoot 38 and 357 single action revolvers much better but wanting...

    Riser for Lee Classic Cast

    I've been looking at Inline Fabrication 9.5 inch riser for my Lee classic cast breech lock press. I like to load standing up and old back muscles are hurting as my bench is only 34 inches tall. I don't want to have to wait and Midway has them special order. Not a welder and don't know one so I'm...

    New issue with Lee factory crimp die

    I've been loading 357 Hornady xtp and Nosler Sportsman bullets for about a year now and have had great success. I picked up 300 Hornady RLN today and they load no issues but when I use the crimp die it seats bullets another .005 deeper. It never done that before. I backed the crimp adjustment...
