I have a New England Firearms “Survivor” chambered in .223 and it has a broken firing pin. Does anyone have any idea where one can be found. I’ve checked around the web and haven’t located one yet.

I am wondering if a Lee collet die for a 338 win mag can be used for a 338-06. I know that I would have to shorten the die as the 338 Win Mag is longer and I would have no way to bump the shoulder back (50° -CENSORED-ver 35°).-CENSORED- Just to head off one suggestion, yes I know a 338-06 collet...

I have a Swiss Vetterli 1878 that is in bad shape (rust and missing stock pieces) in addition someone cut on the barrel with a hacksaw. They didn't complete the job, just screwed up the barrel. The serial number is 188xxx and all the parts I have have matching numbers. I'm thinking any collector...

I have a Swiss Vetterli 1878 rifle that has a broken lever spring. Anybody know where I can find one or possibly make a one using a substute material? Any tricks?

What's going on here? I am trying to develop a load for my 338-06 using Barnes 160 grain TTSX. Using info I received from Barnes I performed a ladder test staring at the min and progressing to the max in .01 grain incriminates. During the ladder test I saw no signs of pressure with any load. I...

I've been reloading for a few years using mostly Hornady and Sierra bullets and am happy with them for the most part. Resently I stumbled upon a couple of boxes of Barnes 160gr TTSX bullets for my 338-06, after recovering from sticker shock I decided to give them a try. I started at the min and...

I want to load some hunting rounds for my 338-06 using Barnes Tipped TSX 160 grain bullets but I have found very little info. As a matter of fact I can find only two receipts both on Barnes web site. Has anyone used these and what powder and weight did you use?

I have a stainless steel barrel, a blued receiver and a aluminum scope base (1 piece). I am thinking of bedding the scope base and had a question pop into my mind. Will joining these three metals offer any challenges? Things like screws working loose, add stress to receiver as things heat and...

Has anyone used Zero Bullets. I purchased some at a gun show (44 Mag) and I have not found any load data for them. The bullets are 240 grain jacketed soft points. What to do?

Has anyone ever had a brass case that would not resize. I have run across a few that after running them through the die were still too big at the base. Tried to size them for a second time with no better result. I going to scraped them unless someone offers a solution.

What really makes me mad is when I find a Taurus revolver that has a smooth trigger, tight cylinder, it feels just as good as any Smith & Wesson or Ruger that I've ever owned. Went looking for a revolver for my wife and found a Taurus 65, inspected it as closely as I could, struck a deal and...

A friend and I are going to vote first thing in the morning (Tuesday) then off to the range, a celebration of sorts. Thinking of making it a yearly thing, any like minded people out there?

Brace yourself I'm going to show my ignorance. If I can not find load data for a bullet/powder combo for a given caliber is there a way to determine a starting point (minimum load). version 2: Let's not focus on a load recipe for the Garand, think more in terms of general reloading. Say I...

I found a bunch of LC brass that my dad stored years ago, and not wanting to waste it I decided to use it for my M1. After a fair amount of research I chose my powder (H 4895) and decided to use Winchester Large Rifle primers. Loaded up 8 round with 47.5 grains of powder capped them with 150...

I'm looking to reload some mil brass for my M1 and would like to use some FMJ flat base bullets (150 grain). Any one know where I can find any?

I have an "AMT Backup" pistol in 22LR, any one know anything about these. I've taken it to the range and it seems to shot rather well with only to FTF. I think I know what caused the FTF and have addressed that problem.

Does anyone know what shells one should use to hunt turkey with (20 gauge) or does such a animal exist?

Like everyone else I read as much as I could, then reread every thing again, moved slow and try not to do anything stupid. While the road to the target below took a bit of a detour it was worth the effort. The first three shots after pillar bedding measured 3 1/2". Each group shrank by appox 1"...

Has anyone ever tried to clean oil out of a stock. I was thinking that perhaps using mineral spirits and a brush to clean it, (something like basting a turkey). Another thought comes to mind is to submerge sections in a can of minerial spirits or acetone. Stop me before I destroy any thing:eek:

Looking at a 338.06 and am concerned that even with the savings of reloading it might be too expensives for me. My question is "How many times can one reload before the brass fails?". Taking into account that I intend to use a slow powder (IMR 4350) loaded near the upper end of the range, and...
