Why not leave a small portion of the magnum case rim on the case and make an insert that remains in the cylinder. You can remove them with a brass cleaning brush if need be.

I use a Marlin fold down rear sight on my Winchester 1894.

The third generation autos, 4006 etc., had a magazine disconnect. It wouldn't discharge when the trigger was pulled with the magazine removed, maybe they thought this would suffice. I removed that option on all of my autos.
Or it could have been required to be sold in some states?

The last new S&W revolver I purchased was a Model 69 back in 2014 when they first came out. The first thing I noticed was the grooves on the top strap were off center enough to make it appear the the barrel wasn't clocked correctly. I sent S&W a picture and was told that it was just cosmetic...

I've had three transfer bars break on two different revolvers over the years. Ruger sent me replacements twice and replaced the revolver the second time it broke on one of the revolvers.

Try seating the bullet a little deeper in the case to break the the crimp before you use the kinetic puller.

You have to remember that law enforcement is only meant to stop the individual which means after they recover from their non-fatal wounds then they have their day in court. As a former police officer I know that sounds ridiculous but the politicians will put your name on a plaque posthumously if the...

Forty years ago I exclusively used Remington 37 grain HP ammunition to squirrel hunt with because it was very accurate out of my 10/22. All of the bullets were wax coated and crimped well, no loose bullets. I recently bought a 100 round plastic tray of the 37 gr HP's and they were very inconsistent ...

The Car Dealer shipped my daughter's license plates to my residence this week via Fedex so when I saw the truck pull up across the street I went out in the driveway to get the package. The driver walked across the street and knocked on the door and delivered a package. His address is 1276 mine is 12...

I have a large variety of .22 rifles, 9422, 572, 510, 341, Ruger American and about six 10-22's. All of my 10-22's are very accurate and other than slicking up the trigger pull I took about .025" off of the chamber end of the stock barrel in order to seat the bullet a little closer to the start...

If he lied to you about why he was there then he was up to no good.

Find out if he was assigned to the area where your residence is located, if not and he wasn't dispatched there the you need to find out why.

Unfortunately there a re plenty of cops that are criminals.

I had two break on my flattop 44 Ruger sent me the first one and I sent it back when the second one broke, they ended up replacing the revolver. I also had one break on a Vaquero years ago. I hadn't fired more than a box through each revolver when the pawl broke.

My local shop had an 1895 in 30-06 and a high grade 1873 in 357 and both had decent grades of walnut on them but there was no finish other than a very thin sealer coat on the stocks. I have several older models from 20 years ago and there is no comparison between those and the new ones. Who ever is ...

Is the pin there to assist with lowering the carrier when the lever is closed?
I noticed that my 357 AE 94 has an added sheet metal piece on the lever but I am not sure what it does.

My Speer #10 reloading manual lists .433 round ball 120 grain loads for the 44 Spl along with loads for the 44 magnum, 45AR and 45 Colt.

I have an opportunity to buy a Remington Model 14 in 30 Remington and I have a small supply of brass but no dies to reload them with, I do reload for the 30-30. Since the case dimensions are close sans the rim has anyone here used 30-30 dies to reload the 30 Remington? Midsouth has a set of 30 Remin...

I stopped counting at 12 times but I probably performed CPR over 30 times. We were already on the street and were dispatched on all of the ambulance calls to guard the ambulance. One day I had a sudden death call involving an infant and I got a faint heartbeat but it didn't last. As soon as I was do...

As a side note Glock brought a model 18 along with a case of ammunition to our range in the early 90's trying to sell our agency one. The 18 is a selective fire version of the popular 19. The 18 was the reason for the extended 33 round magazine. This model was made with executive protection security...

I shoot a lot of handguns over a bag to test loads at the indoor range I normally shoot at and I have found due to wearing tri focals that my point of impact also changes when I move to a standing off hand position. I also shoot slightly to the right when indoors and dead center when outdoors. As ot...

I recently picked up a mould for my 270's and would like to know if any of you have worked up any loads with IMR4198. I will mainly be shooting indoor at 25 yards
Thanks

Forty years ago I was in K's Sporting Goods in St Louis talking with the owner, Jack Klug, and I asked him if he was going to pass the store down to his two sons when he retired. He responded no and offered his explanation for his decision. He told me that firearms generally don't wear out if proper...

S&W quality has been a problem for decades. I lucked into a 4" 5 screw Pre-29 44 Magnum revolver years ago that had been purchased new by a local police officer in 56 or 57 to use as his duty weapon. His Chief wouldn't allow him to carry it so he sold it to an older friend of mine who wante...

If it was a Glock or any other semi there would be an ejector and possibly an extractor mark but since these parts are mass produced I would highly doubt the marks would be unique especially with MIM parts. I worked a homicide where a Colt Agent was used with RP 158 rn cartridges and before I sent i...

I have an 26" bbl 1892 with a rough bore that I started loading for years ago and I worked up many more loads than the ones listed in the article. The first thing I did after buying cases and bullets was to buy a cannelure tool so I could use 40 caliber bullets that I had on hand for the 40/10m...

If your 375 was made prior to the change of ownership it has a barrel similar in size to the 94's in 30-30 and the larger barrels won't work. I ordered a 375 barrel from Numerich years ago and it was larger in diameter and had finer threads.

During my career as a police officer I killed 4 large dogs two with a shotgun and two with a 40 S&W. I can tell you that the 12 ga stopped both in their tracks and only needed one round each the other two were a completely different story. The first was a vicious Pit Bull that wanted to bite the...

I would have to vote for the 9422. I have one that was plagued by occassional misfires until I made a new firing pin out of a Ruger 10/22 firing pin. The firing pin impression is as wide as the slot in the bolt and I haven't had a misfire since.

The 10/22, Remington 572 and 510 are also on my list.

elmo123

Nice rifle. If you get a chance to pick up some of the Hornady ammo with the Flex-Tip bullets give them a try. They worked good out of my sewer pipe for a barrel 1894. I contacted Hornady and they gave me some loads for that bullet with Lever powder let me know if you are interested and I'll post th...

The first high velocity center fire rifle that I fired was a friend's Remington 600 in 6mm. I shot a metal gallon can full of water which evaporated. Years later I reloaded the 6mm for another friend who had a 760 in 6mm. I remember the 760 shot pretty good with 100 grain bullets. I have owned a cou...

I guess Brandon has forgotten the FBI debacle in Miami in 1986 where they declared the 9mm not effective enough against the bad guys and now Brandon says it will blow out a lung. Agent Dove would dispute that statement if he wasn't deceased.

The internet is a big part of the problem and while I enjoy using it for information such as this forum I feel it will eventually lead to the downfall of our society.

I had one in 22-250 that I used until it left me with a casing stuck in the chamber of my Remington 788. This encouraged me to buy a Lyman single stage press with a set of dies.

I have noticed that my groups change left/right due to the lighting. Have someone else shoot it and see how it shoots for them.

Since my attempts at reloading 22 magnums was a bust I decided to come up with a solution to the left over priming mixture. I have a single shot black powder pistol that I don't use very often so when I decided to take it to the range with me I discovered that I was almost out of percussion caps. Th...

That looks like a factory crimp to me. The older 110 grain 30-06 factory ammo was loaded in a box shorter than the other bullet weights.

elmo123

I have been looking at some mid 90's Winchester reloading manuals and they list 18.7 of 296 with a 110 jacketed bullet. Has anyone tried this combination?

elmo123

You will have to use a faster burning powder. I started out with Lil Gun and had squib loads also. Bullseye or something with the same burn rate will get you where you want to be.

elmo123

I tried reloading the 22 magnum last winter and used Bullseye. I have the dies and the biggest problem I ran into was the reliability of the priming mixture that I mixed per the directions. I was using bullets for the 22 Jet along with the 35 V-Max. Accuracy was OK but not as good as the factory loa...

I look for a recession in the near future after folks quit spending money on things they think are too overpriced.

I have had a 1953 760 in 30-06 for over 30 years and it is used mostly with cast bullets. It is as accurate as a 700 in 06 that I had years ago. I have also been fortunate to fire 760's and 7600's in several calibers, 257 Roberts, 7mm-08, 6mm Remington and 300 Savage all were very accurate. The newe...

I did order the sizer die and made a tool to scrape the crud out of the rim.

I am doing this mostly out of ne...
