Years. I've got my presses set back up now on an Inline Fabrication mount. I'm going to load some up this Fall and go out to that range off of Hwy 44 in Volusia. I got one of those new Caldwell Velocitor chronographs to try out.

Rimfire McNutjob

Once you find the load card, you'd then have to find the powder. I saw an unopened can of HiVel No.2 up on GB the other day for $50. You might should start gobbling some of those up.

I love me some takedown short rifle with a heavy barrel. There's just something about how they swing onto the target.

Went into the grocery store the other day and grabbed a pack of Johnsonville Hatch Chile Breakfast Links. I can get that wonderful smell and taste and not have to travel past the Publix down the street. I must admit, I do miss the dry heat out West ... at least your sweat evaporates. Down here in Fl...

Yeah, I got my "Your item has shipped" email back on 8/4. Then they picked it up in New Mexico and let me know I'd have it from 8/7 to 8/11. Then it went to Chicago, and Chicago, and Chicago. Now I'm getting an email that it's going to be late. I'm in Florida. Of course it's going to be la...

Ok, so I guess Hornady is producing 348 interlocks again? Hopefully they will make them available as reloading components also They made a run of 348 FTX recently (loaded ammo), which is mostly what's available. I've not seen the component bullets for FTX or the Interlocks in some time. There's occ...

Might be time to contact Pillher ... or Ms. Piller. If the PM's are setup to send her an email as well.

Anyway, I've been told that this vintage of Winchesters used metal that may not be weldable, truth or myth? I think some of the receivers of this era were sintered and then iron plated to take the finish. Maybe that's what you're referring to. I might be wrong. There are plenty of 1894 people here ...

Is this site actually under a DDOS attack? THR was experiencing one this past week and put CluoudFlare in front of the site to solve the problem. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that many gun boards are under this type of attack from some unknown person or organization. The problems with this site ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Wow. Depressing.

Rimfire McNutjob

That's a really good match. I can't imagine how you can get that close. It's just so hard to tell until the finish goes on.

Rimfire McNutjob

Interesting. I've seen the Cutting Edge stuff but not the one you mentioned. Though the logo looks familiar. Maybe from Powder Valley.

How are you re-priming the rimfire cases?

Rimfire McNutjob

Bill, this is what I did to make QL match the physical PressureTrace II test results. Technically I upped the pressure to 11,000 psi for a MAX load. QuickLoad 44-40 BaseLine.png You haven't put your bullet in properly. You're missing the shot start pressure. It's in BAR in the text file that is the...

Rimfire McNutjob

Yeah, I think I wouldn't go much over 38Kpsi with that one. Nice pre-Great War Remington.

Rimfire McNutjob

That 2573 BAR is 37,318 psi. There's no direct conversion as the copper crusher method isn't linear across a wide range.

Rimfire McNutjob

Happy birthday. I appear to be 4 minutes past due and into the 27th.

Rimfire McNutjob

That's pretty nice for $399. A very complete package. Good video.

Rimfire McNutjob

GunBroker perhaps. Or put them in the classifieds here. There are probably more 348 shooters here than are browsing on GB. I didn't realize Speer made a 220 at one point. I assume the 150's are the Winchester "Silver Tips". The closest thing I currently have is the Cutting Edge 157's but I...

Rimfire McNutjob

I made the mistake of going to take a look up on GB. Man, the 38 Super has got to be the most pimped out pistol of all time. There's just a ton of them up there, many factory builds.

Rimfire McNutjob

Didn't Caspian make a double stack 38 Super frame with 19 round mags back in the 90's? That 19+1 in Super seems like a lot of firepower.

Rimfire McNutjob

These two happen to be in-stock over at Bruno Shooters at the moment ... in the 8lb cannisters. Not sure how long that will last.

Rimfire McNutjob

I think Smith & Wesson actually had a dedicated target revolver chambered in 38 Super at some point. I think it's now in 9mm ... with the 38 Super chambering retired. I can't remember the model number.

Rimfire McNutjob

The original guns headspaced on the very minimal rim while the newer guns, since the mid-80's maybe, headspace on the case mouth. That's probably the issue you remember. The best powder for full power 38 Super is/was VV N105. It's a solid 'is' for me as I'm sitting on about 9lbs still. But it is no ...

Rimfire McNutjob

Was that an old John Kort post? He took a ton of knowledge with him when he passed.

Rimfire McNutjob

If this were really Blaine, there would have been a pun dropped on us. I am skeptical.

Rimfire McNutjob

To me, this guy has the best mini-mill and lathe content.

If you get to the Edit Profile page, the Edit Signature button is the second one down on the left. That will get you to the page you seek.

Their site is still there, they just don't sell or ship anything that I know of. I think the owner was trying to sell it so that it continued on but I'm not sure that's worked out so far.

I've been lamenting the demise of Montana Bullet Works and their wide range of LBT LFN and WFN bullets for handgun cartridges. I had not been able to find anyone making these other than Cast Performance who appear to be out of business since their acquisition by Grizzly Cartridge. They were the ones...

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice writeup. And great pictures.

Rimfire McNutjob

Loved the video. Thanks.

Rimfire McNutjob

Nice eBay score there ... 71 bolt with the 98a still in the wrapper.

Rimfire McNutjob

Just fighting back against the governments unlawful digitization and indexing of form 4473's over the last decade or two. They keep an unlawful registry ... we lose stuff all the time.

Rimfire McNutjob

I've fired both Winchester and CCI 22 WRF in my Smith & Wesson 648 without issues. Seems to work fine and I can tell you that WRF is quite a bit less booming than WMR in these revolvers.

Rimfire McNutjob

I think 300MP is slightly more dense than H110 and therefore takes up slightly less space ... aside from the differences in burn speed. So there's more than just burn speed to consider. Lil'Gun has even lower density and takes up more space than either.

On the other hand I finally snagged a Colt SAA 32-20 4 and 3/4” first gen made in 1901….perfect bore…1.5” at 25. https://i.postimg.cc/hPb3w2VJ/IMG-2568.jpg I've always coveted a 32-20 SAA. I would love to have a bird's head short barreled version. That right there is a crazy nice gun for 124 years ...

Rimfire McNutjob

It shoots 200 grain Silvertips just fine. But I would like it to match my Winchesters. I've heard the LeverEvolution can be a problem. I know the Barnes data for their 250 Original has you load it pretty short as well. No hurry. Now that MBW is out of business, I'm not able to get the 235 grain LBT ...

Rimfire McNutjob

My copy came in. Nice book for $14. I'm in the hunting section and he's talking about 32-40 loaded with duplex black ... 2F in the bottom and something called Curtis & Harvey up top. I wish the pictures were in color. I can't imagine what those rifles looked like back when this book was done. Pr...

Rimfire McNutjob

When I checked, the 348 throating reamer was $75 and the T-handle was another $25. I might get one and use it on my Browning.

Rimfire McNutjob

Don't forget InLine Fabrication if you get tight for space. Their stuff saved me.

Rimfire McNutjob

Yeah, it's been stable for a bit but has begun to wobble again over the last could of days.

Rimfire McNutjob

Cancelled. Someone made an offer for the whole thing apparently. Would have been nice to snag the 45-75 ammo or some of the 40-82 cases, etc, in the smaller lots.

Rimfire McNutjob

Thanks. Love the pictures. Maybe some day I'll make it out to that show. Helluva drive ... will take some epic convincing with the wife.

Rimfire McNutjob

Get the hand driven version from Manson ... just the throating reamer and the T-handle. If you've got the takedown, it's obviously easier. Otherwise, you'll have to pull the bolt. I think it's just a few turns by hand with some cutting oil applied.

Rimfire McNutjob

I ran into a Game Getter in great condition in the used case at a Gander Mountain about 20 years ago and was not smart enough to grab it.

Rimfire McNutjob

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.

Rimfire McNutjob

Some good stuff in there ... 40-82 brass, 45-75 ammo, 33 Win brass, etc.

Rimfire McNutjob

Amazon has a hardcover version ... used for about $53. I might grab it. I think I've seen the softcover for $18 plus shipping.

I wouldn't know about him had my father not taken me to the shop that still bears his name when I was a teenager. We bought a couple of guns and a lot of ammo there in the early 80's. I always loved going into the back room to look at the old tools and pictures. Thanks to Val for giving us more deta...
