I bought one of these wire mesh wastebaskets today (and a plastic bucket to go with it). Best 4 Aussie $$ ever spent!!!. I used to try and separate the media using an old collander (took 5 mins or more). Using the wastebasket takes all of a few seconds to separate. I use baby formula tins to...

Sawdust, I had exactly the same problem with a NIB 1894PG in 44Mag. At first it was pretty consistent at wanting to jam. I have polished up the extractor (removed the blueing) and slightly filed down the "point" of the extractor. I also performed the fix for the "Marlin Jam" courtesy of the...

87 Target was the first handgun I bought. Ended up buying two (one for me and one for the better half). It took a fair bit of time and cussing to strip it the first time. After removing the two screws for the counter weight, trying to remove the counter weight took a fair bit of effort. The...

Rockstar, Thanks for the confirmation. Flashhole, I hear you about the sensitivity of the Collet Die. I suppose that is the price one has to pay when you don't need to lube the cases the same way as when FL sizing. I still lube up the neck area of every 5th or 6th case just to be sure...

I think I may have found the answer. I checked Lee's website and the mandrel part is listed as .2415" I then checked a large sample of the projectiles I have and they were all .2415". This would explain why I could easily pull the proj. from a case. May be an under spec. batch of projectiles...

Was loading up some .243 cases tonight (only had to do powder and projectile) and found that once the proj. was seated I could easily twist it around and pull it out. My BIL ran all the cases through a Lee Collet die. Figuring he didn't the die up properly I re-ran the cases through (after I...

I bought a NIB 1895PG in .44 Mag at the start of the year. It had a really hard time feeding rounds. Ended up following the instructions for the "Marlin Fix". Smoothing over the cam on the finger lever. Was slightly better, but still wouldn't feed. Ended up taking the extractor out and polishing...

I think my wife took up shooting to spend more time with me. She now has her own rifle and handgun and joins me most times I go to the range. She gets very serious whenever I handle her guns, to "make sure I don't hurt them". Haven't managed to get her interested in cleaning them or...

I've had my 92FS Inox for about 18 months now. The only time I have had a FTE or FTF was when I was working up a load for it with enough oomph to recoil the slide sufficiently. Never had a problem with factory ammo. Now that I have my reload data sorted out, it just gets on with the job. I...

Penforhire, When I did my handgun course, we were taught to drop the mag before racking the slide. Feral_Goz

Had my first KaFizz on the weekend. Took down a zip lock bag of reloaded 9mm to the range for a bit of practise. All way going along fine until, I pull the trigger and hear a click. First think I think of is I've got a squib load. Then I see gas escaping around the extractor area. I wait for...
