    What is this "mystery rifle"? - Pics

    Bronco I worked for a company that had a FFL from the 1963 untill 1999. We were primarily an ag equipment company and sold these for varmint and pest control. As I recall, we first sold the .22 for around $15 and the .410 for $19.95 in the late 60's. I believe that Firearms International and...

    Which reloading manual do you take as gospel?

    handloading I use P. O. Ackley first but sure wish Sharpe was around to update his CGTH. I use Lee/Hornady to update modern powders. First manual was early 50's Lyman Ideal I got with old second hand press in 1956/7. I believe that there is something to be gained in all the manuals so I try to...

    Should I start reloading?

    I have found after more than a half century of loading that there is no end to learning. I strongly advise you go to the closest range and find someone there who will walk you through the motions. I know that every chap on this board would. I wish you were down in Dixie. There is nothing like...

    Vickerman instructions

    Friends and neighbors, I need a copy of the instructions for a Vickerman seating die. Marked 30 on side, it can seat bullets in 06 case easily and almost in 308 case as well.

    7/8x14 drop tube adapter?

    DTA Sir. Believe the gent is referring to the difference in the threaded drop tube on the Lyman 55 and 7/8x14 thread size. The threaded tube on the #55 is the same as the old Junior dies. In order to use them or the 55 in a standard press, you had to bush the thing. There is a bushing...
