    Measuring water capacity--how?

    After filling a number of cases with water up to the neck, what is the procedure for measuring or weighing the water for comparisons? Like pour the water from each case into your scale pan and weigh them??

    Looking for an armory or other source for a complete trigger group for the M-1 Garand. Tried Fulton Armory but could not find any listed on their parts list. Any recommendations for finding one?

    Herters shell holder

    Does anyone know if there is a Herter's shell holder for the .303 Savage cartridge? It seems that no other cartridge uses the same shell holder.

    Difficult unlocking action on .22 Hi-Power Savage 99

    My .22 Hi-Power Savage mdl 99 has reached a point where it is very difficult to unlock the action after firing a round or just unlocking with an empty case or no case at all in the chamber. The problem is not one of extraction but simply unlocking the action prior to extraction. Now, due to...

    Marbles tang sight elevation adjustment

    I've installed Marbles tang peep sights on a .22 HP and a .250 Savage. One is working properly and the other does not work properly with the elevation adjustment. The threaded post holding the aperture will not remain steady but rotates when the elevation knob rotates. By holding the aperture...

    Dovetail sight pusher for rifle rear sight

    Is there such a thing as a dovetail rear sight pusher for lever action rifles, other than punch and hammer, that can be used easily in real time at the range? All pushers seem to be for handguns.

    Norma brass vs the .22 Savage Hi-Power

    The .22 Savage Hi-Power cartridge is rather unusual and has the reputation of limiting brass to only two or three reloads. Do you have any experience with this cartridge? The .25-35 Win is the parent case and bullets are .227 or .228 rather than .224. Hornady has 70 gr jacketed bullets and...

    Someone has to have a .40 s&w model 646

    Surely someone out there has to have a mdl 646 whom I can send these moon clips to at no charge and free shipping. Otherwise I'm going to have to buy a 646 in order to use them (since they wouldn't quite work with a 610). Advise street name and address and will mail the 5 pack to you.

    moon clips for s&w mdl 646

    I purchased moon clips for the 40 s&w mdl 646 that I realized may not work for the s&w mdl 610, and they won't quite work, but close. All clips for the 610 that I've come across result in more than 50 % misfires. So, if you have a 646 and could use these at no charge, furnish your aka street...

    Small rifle primers rather than small pistol for .45 acp small primer pocket?

    Loading .45 acp with small primer pockets calls for small pistol as I have done previously. Is there any objection to using small rifle primers instead? Both as I recall are the same height and I have an excess of small rifle primers. Other forum posts seem to primarily condone the substitution.

    Badly carbonized brass

    Some time back the indoor range required green ammunition so I stocked up pretty well with Winchester 9mm's, .40s, and .45 acp's (the kind with the small primers), but quit using it when no longer required. So today I pulled out a half box of the .45's that still contained the remainder of the...

    Where has all the once fired '06 brass gone?

    Thinking to routinely purchase a few hundred Federal once fired 30-06 brass from www.oncefiredbrass.com, surprisingly they were out of stock. No other '06 brass either. And out of stock were all the other vendors that I checked with. First choice is always Federal but will go for Remington as...

    .45 ACP bullet from SNS

    SNScasting has a .45 ACP bullet that is probably fairly new with a new feature or two. It is a standard 200 gr semi-wadcutter with a bevel base, has Hi-Tek coating, brick red in color, but lacks the usual lubricating groove that I assume is a new feature with coated bullets (but maybe not). They...

    Hi-Tek coating

    The .38 Special lubricated cast DEWCs I have been using with the Smith mdl 52-2 produce considerable smoking from the lubricant. Paging through the net came across SNScasting that has the same DEWC with Hi-Tek coating so immediately ordered 500 on the assumption that Hi-Tek does not result in...

    HP-38 identical to 231??

    During past discussions on the subject of HP-38 and 231 being identical, I think that most reports were that they were the same powder, but renamed. The Lyman manuals use 231 often in their loads but HP-38 only just a few times. With .45 ACP loads both are included with a 185 gr bullet. However...

    Garand failure to release trigger--fires when pressure is released

    With first clip after several weeks of inaction, excessive trigger pressure failed to move trigger rearward. After releasing pressure, round fired on its own. Next 7 rounds were OK. Same thing happened with 2nd clip. With 3rd clip, the first three rounds failed to move trigger but fired after...
