Hello all! I need some help. I have been trying to get my hands on a scope mount for my Rossi Lever action. I have tried the side mounted ones, but they are a bust for all but some very specific optics. I see that there is a weaver mount that can replace the rear sight advertised on Rossi's...

Hello all! I’ve been looking at getting a suppressor in the near future. I have looked at many options but none have really caught my fancy. I found several resources that demonstrated the fabrication of one’s own suppressor and every video showed processes that I can do (and have done for...

..And I'm hooked! I recently finished putting together my new 300BLK build and took it to the range to test function and sight it in. The shooter in the next line was shooting his 308 suppressed. We got to chatting and we ended up shooting each other's rifles. He even put his suppressor on my...

Hello All, I had an interesting occurrence today. I was tumbling some Lake City brass to get it ready for loading. I use wet tumbling with Stainless Steel pins, Dawn, and Lemi-Shine. I normally tumble my brass for about an hour just to get it really shiny. I forgot about this batch, and it...

Hello all, I have a question. How big can a bullet be compared to bore size? For instance, suppose a bore is .311. A cast bullet is considered best when it is .312 in this case. But what if the bullet was .313 or .314 or even larger. Obviously there is a limit to how big a bullet can go for a...

Hello all! So I've been bitten by the milsurp bug a bit. I've recently run into a m24/47 mauser at gander mountain for 250.00 looks in good shape: still covered in grease. To be honest I know little about these rifles for even the 8x57 caliber. Is that a decent price? Anything I should look...

Hello All! I have a quick question: What is the best way to find starting loads for a bullet weight that is not listed in a manual? I am starting to reload for my new Enfield and have found that my bore slugs to .311. I have a mold that drops a gas checked bullet to the proper size but is a...

Hello All! Recently, one of my shooting buddies started reloading and stuck a Lead Round Nose in the barrel of his Shield 9mm. Instead of hammering it out, he dipped the end of the barrel into some molten lead and melted the bullet out. I have never done that and wonder if the barrel could be...

Hello all! I have been bitten by the bug for some of these old black powder cartridge rifles. I will start by saying that I have never shot ANY BP guns and I dont know anyone who does. I am really thinking about getting one of these Martini Henry rifles or ones of similar design. Can anyone...

Hello all! I need some assistance. I am looking to increase production for casting. I currently use an RCBS ProMelt and Lee 6 cavity moulds. It works but is becoming harder to work with as I convert more of my family to the shooting sport. I enjoy casting but I just don’t have the time to cast...

Hello all! I need some assistance. I recently picked up two new lever actions(this is becoming somewhat of an addiction): a Rossi 92 357mag and a Sears 94 30-30. The Rossi is working flawlessly. Feeds almost everything I’ve fed it so far and is pretty darn accurate at 50 yards. I have horrible...

Hello all! So I was perusing my local pawn shops this weekend and stumbled across this Star 380. Its not in the best of shape as you can probably tell by the pic but the trigger is good, the mechanics seem sound and It broke down and put back together alright. I'm not too familiar with Stars...

Hello all, I just got back from a range trip and wanted to report how the powder coated bullets performed. Sorry though, no pictures of targets. was kinda in a rush near the end. I started with my favorite bullet for my 357 158gn Semi Wadcutter. I used the tumble method with Harbor Freight...

Hello All It has been a while since I last posted so I'm glad to be back. I recently scored a well priced 16lb jug of Bullseye powder to replace my ever dwindling supply of W231. However I just can't seem to get my Lee Pro powder measure to drop consistent loads with Bullseye. the powder drop...

Hello All! Fair warning, I may be asking a simple question but bear with me I've been out of the game for over a year. As I have been getting back into the reloading game, I've been noticing a ton of new data being thrown about online for various cartridges, bullet, and powder combos that are...

Hey All! So as the title suggests, I am taking the foray into reloading 7.62x39 for my sks. I dont really NEED to but since I cast I thought "What the Heck, Why not?" So to the meat of the question, I want to cast the bullets for my rounds, I have found several molds but all the Lee Molds(my...

Hello All! I've decided to finally start wading into rifle reloading. I have quite a bit of experience reloading handgun cartridges(38spl, 357mag, 9mm, and 45ACP/Super but I've never dealt with necked brass. What I want is some basic advice on getting started with 223:What to do, what to look...

Hello all! I recently found a possibly old but definitively abused Lee Deluxe Turret at a garage sale recently, picked it up for five bucks. I just thought it would be fun to see if I could make it usable or at least functioning. I started working on the coating of rust covering pretty much...

Hello all! I recently purchased another Smith and Wesson 422 6" and as per my ritual I broke it completely down and cleaned it insided and out....or at least I would have if the screws weren't so tight. Whoever took this gun apart last screwed the screws so tight that it ruined two bits off...

Hello All, Today was the day that my patience for 9mm loading ended; I'm quite tired of it. Of all the calibers I reload for, 9mm ALWAYS give me problems that make either my reloading experience a pain or my shooting experience sub-par. I won't go into details about the problems with 9mm...
