I recently bought a few pounds of Win WXR for $10 a pound at a local gun store sale. However, my recent Hornady and Lyman manuals have listed few loads for this powder, and the Winchester website was also not very helpful. I read a post that suggested that load data for RL 22 will work for this...

As a child I had a 1908 Brazilian Mauser, and I idiotically sheared the tip off of the firing pin. I have let the rifle sit for more than a decade, and am now interested in replacing the firing pin, but I need some information to find the right part. 1. Is the firing pin for the 1908 Mauser...

I recently purchased a nice Lyman O-Mag press, which I believe is dated to around 1980. It has what seems to me to be an unusual linkage compared with my Lee Classic Turret, and it is somewhat perplexing. With my Lee press, when I move the ram handle all the way down, the ram moves as far up...

I just bougt some PVRI Partisan 198 gr. FMJ BT bullets to load for an 8mm Mauser. Though I like PVRI bullets, there is no load data for them anywhere. I loaded a dummy round and used a Lee FCD to crimp on the cannelure. The problem is that the COL is 3.16", which is longer than any load I have...

While I was loading some mixed brand .357 SIG brass this evening, I noticed that the flash hole on Remington brass was considerably tighter than the other brands I was loading (Federal, Winchester and a few Speer). My question is: how much of an impact would this restricted flash hole have on...

Hello All, I recently purchased the 8th edition of the Hornady reloading manual, and I like it as long as I am loading Hornady bullets. However, most of the bullets I have been buying at good prices are common but lower quality companies (Berry's, PRVI, X-Treme, etc.). I was hoping to get...

Hello All, I have some 5.56 Lake City brass that I have been reloading, and I am having a problem with the primer crimp. I have a Lyman primer pocket reamer, but even after I use this tool it is still difficult to seat the primer (occasionally mangling the primer in the process). My...
