I have just restored a 1918 SMLE. It was a sporter and rusty. I finally got it finished a couple of nights ago and am anxious to take it to the range to test it out. I bought a lot of Varget Powder before the Great Horde came and took everything on the shelves. I am a little worried I won't be...
Thanks everyone,
According to you folks the majority of my Hornady should be ok, save those that the primer seats too easily. I see no other signs and per the paper clip test feel no ridge or crack in the case.
I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond. This is extremely helpful to a...
How loose is too loose on primer pockets. I have some brass that is easier to place primer in but shows no other signs of excess ware. If primer pocket "tension" changes do you throw them in the recycle bin? I have Hornady Brass that is on it's 4th or 5th reload. I've been told that's too many...
I am relatively knew and want to know how many times I should reload Hornady Brass before tossing it. I am getting some HXP to reload soon, but for now only have the hornady and some remmington 30-06 for an M1 Garand. I use 46gr of Varget and 168gr hpbt match bullets.
Tnx for any advice.. Maq
I finally started reloading Berdan Primed 7.5x55 brass. I always heard it was too hard to deprime and size so I never really took the time to think about it. It's not that much trouble. It just took a little time and a little thinking and a little looking.
To deprime easily you need to build a...

Merit Aperature Attachment
Saltydog,
I think they could be once you get used to it because the sight picture is better you can see the edges of the front blade and the edges of the rear blade. It gives you confidence that if you take your time and line things up, you can make a good shot...
Tnx Chuck,
I always shoot with both eyes open. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I'll try covering the left eye. Anyone else ever noticed zeroing changes when trying to use a Merit Aperature Attachment?
tnx,

Target Shooting Suppliers
Bullfrog,
I'm beginning to think you are correct... After much research I have found a Local Supplier in the DFW area. He operates from home but apparently has a lot of Target Shooting Supplies for you to buy on the spot, including Shooting Jackets. I want to make...
Hi All,
Well, I thought I'd reached the fountain of youth. I thought my vision had been restored to its former clearness. Well........ actually, I have to say, it was quite a bit better. I could definitely see the rear and front sight picture much more clearly. The target remains a little...
Dummy Rounds / Snap Caps
Kingmt,
Tnx so much I really appreciate the help.
Sounds like you'll have plenty of fun with them.
I agree with you that adding RTV Silicone will make them easier on the firing pin. I never have quite figured out how with the primer absent, the firing pin gets...
m19 Plastic Rounds?
Wow Kingmt,
What do you do with them?
Thank you very much for the reply. I need 10 for my 30-06, 10 for my 7.5x55, and 10 for my finish m39 mosin in 308. Later I'll try to find something for my Swedish Mauser in 6.5x5 and k98 in 8mm.
So for now around 30. That's...
