Goto ammogarand.com. They supposedly have a shipment of new enblocs coming shortly at $3.25 ea or $31 for ten. The only others are eBay scalpers, wanting $4 to $5.50 each for used and its unknown how "used". Also, find an oldtimer or a local M1 match and have them teach you how to load tha...

Many Thanks. It is much appreciated. BH

Sorry, no. The club made it clear that our frontend loader was for repairing the berms and range, not digging in them. Besides, only officers have the keys.

I did the same thing with some Magma 405s bought for 45-70. I did use Hornady crimp on checks that I sat on the bench then tapped on the nose with a rubber hammer then ran back through the sizer to crimp. Checked with a fingernail to pull off but they held. It appeared to give them some purchase. Wh...

Levergunner, so you like lever actions and are looking for a long necked case for your 30 caliber cast bullets but might use it past a 150 yards, I have something for you to think about. In the recent past Browning had Miroku in Japan duplicate the Winchester M1895 lever action in both 30-40 and 30-...

What a great find, of course to me any New Service is a great find. In case you get energetic and decide to handload for it look up Ken Waters' old Pet Loads article from Handloader magazine on the Colt .455 Eley. Being quite old it may be on the web, if not check the library for the large compilati...

I forgot. While at the library see if they have a copy if Wildcat Cartridges Combo, editions I &II, Its a collection of articles published in Handloader magazine, from recently back to 1966. Just a suggestion.

blackhawk44

I suggest you do a couple of things before you get too deep into this project. First find a copy of Cartridges of the World (library or used book store) and research both the antique and wildcat sections. You may find what you need or something similar that might work. Secondly, check the online lis...

Since XS no longer sells its white stripe ramped blade as a separate item (I have several and they have been great) the Skinner brass blades really pique my interest. My grandfather had a brass insert on a ramp on the Winchester '92 I inherited from him in 1970. It has always worked really well for ...

Check with Numrich gun parts. A couple of years ago they listed new reproduction potbelly magazines but I understand that their supply was intermittent. Maybe you can backorder. Good luck.

CRS (the medical acronym for cain't remember squat) can attack anyone at any time. It does seem to become a bit more progressive and prevalent beyond one's mid 30's. The more diligent you are to carefully store personal items and tools, the more you will be able to explore this phenomena. We wish yo...

A number of years back, I was having trouble with beads and blued blades and found that XS had a ramped serrated blade front sight with a recessed white stripe. After my first one, I put one on all of my peep sighted rifles. Became much easier to hold elevation and windage. Increased my personal acc...

I don't really know. I loaded in batches of 500 and usually loaded about two batches or so a year. Loaded either Sierra Hollow Cavity or 429421 over a full 22gr of 2400. Got it in '68. Later its timing was getting off. That's when I found the cracked forcing cone in '78 or '79. Also the barrel sides...

I cured that and another problem, when I wore out my M29. I took the most accurate of my three SBH's and cut the barrel to 4.6", swapped for a BH hammer, tuned it and dropped it into a Bianchi #1. That has been my magnum holster gun ever since.

Back in the early '70's, I stumbled upon a well used 6.5" flattop in a pawnshop for good money and took it home. At the time, a lot of friends had farms and ranches to play on and I wore a 4" M29 pretty much anytime I wasn't at the office so thought I was recoil proof and took my new toy o...

Bear Creek Supply has a 190gr. .361 swaged moly coated bullet you could try. Its for 38 S&W, and will hit very high but you can try it for grouping to see if diameter is your issue. Very reasonable, like $53.50/500. You could check to see if they have sample packs.

Get the screw in sling stud for the butt and whatever swivels you like. I prefer the screw locking type.

Used to have a now gone hunting partner whose wife made the most fabulous jelly out of pear apples. There have been scuffles in camp when we got near the bottom the last jar. Heaped it on a lot of dropped biscuits. Truly wonderful.

When I was about 10 or 11 years old, my grandad taught me to raise my outside elbow toward horizontal and to hook the toe of the stock into my armpit, not under my collarbone. Raising the elbow makes all the difference. At 13, my first center-fire was a hooked butt plate Remington M8, 35 Remington w...

I've bought a couple from Ed's TCs in Oklahoma. He keeps a good stock of barrels and a nice guy to do business with. At edstc.com.

I'm with Ray on the White Label Lube 45-45-10. It dries hard and is cleaner to handle. Performs well, have just never needed to push it past 1400fps.

Great snag, Scott. My K22 was picked up in 1978. A local smith, Steve Velchoff, was an artist at building top grade PPC revolvers. While he was working on mine, I had the bright idea of a K22 understudy for when I was too tired to load 38 wadcutters. I had Steve order one then do his magic on it bef...

What you need is the CH4D Cannelure tool. Available direct. They have been making quality reloading equipment for a very long time. A large portion of their dies and equipment are not available anywhere else.

I learned to shoot a center fire rifle with a 35 Remington at the age of 13. My uncle loaned it to me for a year prior to my first deer hunt. It was a Remington model 8, hooked steel buttplate and all. After that, the recoil of 270's and 30-06's was never a problem.

Upgraded the sights on my 30-06 Browning 95 with an XS white stripe front blade and a Marbles tang rear. Mine hated every type of 150gr. Friend brought back several hundred Hornady 168gr AMax blems from a Kansas trip. Loaded to 2640fps with 4064, was able to get 1.25" 100yd 5 shot group, then 2...

I used to be tough, but I got over it. The years between 45 and 55 are very dangerous for guys because they still feel tough and vigorous. They believe that they can just push through anything. They don't realize how the rush and stress of life has worn on them for the last 25 or 30 years. That time...

A couple of buds usually liked to play cook and had the recipe already worked out. First pull the hide off with the gland. Rinse out carcass with plenty of water. Split the carcass to lay flat on a bed of mesquite coals in the pit. Using a child's toy mop, thoroughly soak both sides with a "sop...

A couple of older friends spoke of javelina gloves as being very thin and flexible while being quite tough. I would think that it would take one hide per hand. I would have loved to have a pair but always became so preoccupied with other tasks (such as getting them ready for the pit) that I would fo...

It likely won't expand at magnum speeds since it was designed for the 444.

Of late, the Pietta Great Western Ii Californians seem to be the closest in feel and function to Colts. While they are not Super Blackhawk strong, a 250gr bullet at 900fps or so will still handle about 95% of most handgunners' issues.

So many guess' and opinions. I have a Browning 1895 30-06 that will do 2 1/4" 5 shot groups at 200 with it's Marbles tang sight. Also have scoped steel framed BLRs in 257 and 308 that hold 1 1/2" or less, at 200yds, if allowed to cool after the third shot. These three have been my primary ...

Were I you, I would hold out for another Super. The larger grip frame has always been much more comfortable and controllable with magnum loads. I have both the flattop and the three screw Super (cut to 4 5/8" also) and the early aluminum Colt-sized grip is quite punishing with full loads for me...

Many thanks to all of you. Family medical issues delayed my response. Had already gathered ammo for my springtime levers to chase small game and varmints, such as my .25-20, .32-20, .38Sp and .223. Hope to get into the brush with them next week. Again, many thanks. BH44

blackhawk44

For that .223, just call the nearest Browning dealer. They should have a nice .223 BLR on the rack. They were reintroduced a couple of years ago. Mine actually dates from the early 1980's.
