    Lots of ARs, Mags, and Ammo at the gun show today.

    I went to the Palmetto Gun Show (FL) and it was packed. Some 30 mags were going for $30 but I saw $50 all over the place for 30 round magazines. I tried to estimate the amount of ARs on the tables and I came up around 50 guns for sale. All I came home with was a carry holster for my 1911A.

    Is CDNN going to fulfill my order?

    I ordered two mags on December 18th and I got a ship notice today (28th). Hang in there.

    You Know You're A Reloader When...

    I went to the range last Wednesday and it looked to be a low count day until I looked a bit farther down the lanes and I hit the jackpot on 223 and 308. :D

    My Winchester Model 43 is Back in Action! (218 Bee)

    GooseGestapo, I have a question "Size cases just to "touch" the shoulder of the case with the die.... This is called "partial full-length sizing"... How do you determine what a "touch" is for the Bee? Thanks for your help!

    My Winchester Model 43 is Back in Action! (218 Bee)

    I went to the range today to try out a 13gr IMR-4198 load with a 45 gr bullet. So far the cleanup work on the chamber seems to be working. The primers are still seated and the cases show a lot less scratches from before the work . I only had 10 test rounds so I need get back to reloading.

    My Winchester Model 43 is Back in Action! (218 Bee)

    RC, You are right about the rough chamber but I was in a hurry last night on my post. My gunsmith told me that he has corrected the head space but he also said that this is an old gun and and there is no guarantee that this firearm could fail in time so I need to watch the operation of the...

    My Winchester Model 43 is Back in Action! (218 Bee)

    I don't know what happened to my other post but here is the new post. After trying to dislodge the remnants of the brass I chased down a great gunsmith who removed the brass in the chamber.

    My wife presented to me a 25 pass to the local gun range last Sunday so I wanted to load up so a run of 218Bee and a short run of some 308s. I also brought plenty of .22s and 223s for the AR.
