348 Winchester? Jolly! I'm good to go. There will be a LOT of folks out there that think I'm bonkers, but I want to build a single-shot to fire the 8x56R. I know its an oddball, but it has a lot of potential, and the only rifle chambered for it is the M1895 Steyr. Thanks for the input!

Looking for solid information on the strength of the Uberti 1885. I have found a 45-70, and I want to rebarrel it to a different round. What chamber pressure is the Uberti capable of? Thanks!

From my experience, the long rifle doesn't have quite the recoil as the cut-down carbines. Maybe, I should tool up and make recoil compenators for the carbines! :D

The M95 Steyr is a turn-bolt, but the bolt head is tuend by the helical mechanism in the bolt carrier, rather than by hand. If you inspect the bolt faces of the Steyr, then the M1, you will find that bolth have about the same mating angle on the face. The Steyr is a HOSS, as far as strength...

Apples and grapefruit. Easier to acquire, easier to set up, and biodegradable, to keep the greenies happy. Also, apples attract wildlife. :D

No need to be scared by the straight-pull bolt, as long as you keep the chamber pressure where it belongs. After all, the M-1 Garand, MAS 49 and many others are straight-pull bolts with a bit of gas assistance! :D The Steyr M95 has a very good track record, as structural integrety goes...

Ok, I have made some preliminary tests with my 200gr .33WCF bullets. These were sized .332, and seated just above the top grease groove. The Lyman plain-base bullets were tested with TrailBoss powder, and, at 19gr, would hit an inch low at 50 yards, using the battle site, and had about a 4...

8x56R Cast Bullets I haven't forgotten my promise. I have the bullet samples inhand, and, as soon as my life settles down a bit, I'll work up my loads, and test the bullets. I'm looking at H4895, and Trailboss, for my propellents. However, I am open to suggestion. Do bear in mind that...

You bet!

Saxonpig: Loved your article! Any of you gents shooting the milsurp ammo have any brass you'd part with? I have a bunch of berdan primers I'm trying to use up! Also, I am working with a custom caster,in PA, on the Lyman 338320, and an RCBS .338, 200gr .33 WCF bullets, sized .332. Because...

Hey, CB! Any new developements in your cast loads?

Since my discovery of Trail Boss, I have converted to it exclusively, in my 45 Colt, 45 ACP (loads for a Webly Mk V) and my .38 Smith&Wesson, with very satisfactory results. I had seen some cast load statistics, for Mil Surp cartridges, and most are low-volume powders. As Trail Boss is a...

Straight copper? Or a copper/tin allow? Yep, she's a self-feed machine. My bud turns out missle parts on it, so it is dead-nuts accurate. One thing about using a CNC: we can play with the contour, and the belt width, and diddle with the ballistices. Also, we can fine-tune the diameter...

I can't push cast bullets to optimum velocities. As for expense, other than the cost of the metal, its a wash, as, like casting, it would be my labor. Each time I call Graf's, they are zero balance.

What material is used for turning solid bullets? Where can I get it? With the scarcity of .329 bullets, for the 8mm x 56R, and access to a CNC machine, I think I'd like to give Solids a try.

Has any one used Trail Boss for a cast-bullet reduced load ?
