I bought these bullets from a pawn shop and they are pulled bullets . I miked them and tried to eyeball them best I could . A few seemed off a little rest looked ok best could tell . I loaded one test round back up , same charge and COAL . Bolt opened fine and brass came out fine and primer...
Thinking problem may be in the bullets . I picked them up at a pawn shop , they were pulled bullets . I checked a few for diameter and seemed ok . But plan to go threw them all and double check size . Maybe a few odd ball bullet got in the mix ?????? Someone suggested maybe the pulled bullets...
Out of H4895 but had some BL-C2 . Loaded some test rounds using Hornady data . First 2 shots showed signs of high pressure . I stopped and pulled bullet on a round and checked charge , it was good , COAL is also good . The data was for .308 bullet but have always heard even tho it takes a .311...
AJC1 I did send a email 1st of the week but haven't got a response back from them . I called once a few years back on something and they were supposed to call back but nada .
H4895 has been my powder of choice for my rifles since I started reloading years ago and like that saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it . But awhile back my supply ran out before I could stock up and the person at the store said IMR4895 was a close sub for it but at lower charges . So I...
The suggested load data for 7mm Mauser with IMR4895 is 38.0-34.0 . Is there any danger like pressure spike or anything going 2-3 gr lower then 34.0 gr ? Someone said that the bottom is more of a starting point then a danger point . Would like to try some more reduced loads but don't want to ruin...
Picked up a reproduction calvary holster for my cap and ball revolvers . It's got the US stamped on the flap and it's worn on right side butt forward . Pretty stiff right now but got a revolver in a plastic bag and car wax smeared in it to hopefully soften it up some . Heard that works , never...
It's not just gun prices at auctions . I was at one few weeks back and it had a lot of reloading supplies . That was why I went . Ammo , bullets , primers , dies ect nothing went cheap . It all was market value or even higher . Crazy . Could of drove to a big type store and paid less .
The most reliable cap and ball revolver I got is my ASM Colt Walker .I use Remington #10 caps and have had great luck with very few cap jams but having to carry over 4 1/2 pounds would get old . I wouldn't carry my Colt Navy or Army , they seem to always have some issue . And my Paterson is a...
Had a set of Big Dot Sights put on my M&P Shield .Tried to do my self but that rear sight was not coming off and yes I had removed the little screw so had a local shop do it for me . It was getting with my CCW that the stock sight was getting harder and harder to focus on . I am 52 , no 53 years...
Thanks for all the in put on this folks . I believe there are many good groups out there but I of course can't give or join them all and after much research and talking with others I decided to join GOA for something on the national level and also join a local group here in Oklahoma called OK2A...
Looks like a pipe dream . The few places I remembered seeing 5 spout flask and stuff show discontinued . Will just need to keep what on auction sites .
Nice !! I have been kicking it around about maybe getting a case and start picking up items for it . The 5 spout loading flask / ball dispenser is pretty cool cause back then it was considered a speed loader .
Yes I will probably not shoot it a great deal just for like you said they are getting harder to come by and are more prone to breaking . But I get that rush shooting something from history even if it's a reproduction .. I got plenty of others to shoot and get my fix from . The one you showed in...
Need to to do some deep checking into who has done what , good by fighting for us and the not so good by giving in or how they use the membership dues . That is what would like to hear about to give me a direction to head to maybe . Maybe on what things a group has done you felt was good or...
Sorry wasn't trying to start a pro/con NRA debate . Let me change it to Besides the NRA what organizations do good work protecting our 2nd amendment rights and deserve our support .
