Remington isn't really a gun company. They're an investment group that is trying to market a product to customers in a chosen sector of the marketplace.

Can you share with me also? Thanks

That's not an 1100 part

4227 is a lot cleaner if you use new or once fired brass and a heavy crimp. Best use is heavy bullets for caliber, 158g and up in 357m, 240g and up in 44m, no experience with 41m. I don't think it's that dirty with near max loads, heavy bullets, and a heavy crimp. In 44m I use a Winchester LP...

If you are using a heater try lowering the temp

If it's not the ammo, check the hit the firing pin is making on the case. If it's too small / shallow, I'd guess that's the prob. If you need it, look for instruction manual on this page: http://www.ruger.com/products/markIIIStandard/extras.html From the exploded diagram, there is a...

There's nothing wrong with your pistol. The bullet profile of your Ibejihead 128RN is fatter on the part of the bullet sticking out of the case. If it's fatter, there is more weight in the part sticking out of the case, and less inside the case. But then you have to seat it a bit deeper to...

copied off the reloadersnest.com forum: Original Post- "I bought 2 Marlin 336 lever actions in 35 Rem in a pawn shop - both made in 1974. One turned out fine. The other has some problems. With a shell in the chamber and shells in the tube, the bolt would not stay locked. I replaced the lever...

Degrease the entire pathway the powder travels through from the hopper down into the case. Look inside the drop tube, are any powder flakes sticking there? Rub the inside and outside of the hopper with a dryer sheet. Lube the moving surfaces with a bit of dry graphite powder. Ground...

I'll take a stab at this. .379 is too big in a .376 bore. If your .379 bullets are leading the leade and throat, and you keep shooting more .379 bullets down the barrel, pressure is going to go up and up, and I think the spike will tend to go higher quicker with faster powder. If I'm shooting...

I'm still curious, have you weighed the bullets yet? 180g bullets in the 140g box?

So you are using the same gun for both? Load 1: Lead 140g with 4.4g bullseye Load 2: Plated 165g with 4.7 bullseye Correct? And load 1 recoils significantly more than load 2? If your 165's have a MuzVel of 100fps, then your 140's would need 1180 or so to have the same recoil. And your...

Are you sure you read and copied that right? A 1980 Hornady and a 1974 Speer manual I have list 3.9 grains red dot as max in a 38 special with a 158 grain lead bullet. But that's for historical reference, don't use that. Alliant's web site currently lists max as 3.4 grains red dot, or 60%...

Hey, this will keep everyone safe carry condition -10 Google FFDO holster

For charges +/- 0.1 grain out of a RCBS Uniflow measure with Unique or any flake powder, try this: 1) rub the empty measure inside and outside with a dryer sheet. 2) use a baffle. 3) load measure 1/3 - 2/3 with powder. 4) tap reservoir with your fingers left side, right side 10 times. tap...
