WOW Awesome tip! I was almost ready to send it off to get reblued. I just watched a few videos on Renaissance Wax. I'm sold. Thank you very much, $20 beats $400 plus shipping a gun any day of the week.
I have just purchased a 5-1909 built Webley mk 4 in great shape less bluing. It has been chemically stripped to the bare metal likely in prep for plating there is 0 bluing left on this piece at all not even internals. I would like to refinish it as it is turning brown/rust daily I would like...
I cant speak on the loadmaster but for 38 super I use the pro 1000, I had a dillion but it was so used when I got it I sent it back twice for repairs and for what I paid in shipping on that I bought a pro 1k I can turn 350-500 an hour if I have all my primer trays full and no interruptions, the...
Economy and all I use aa no2 in my 38 super load data is no longer printed as its very easy to go over load but I load to 1450 fps with no signs of over pressure on 135 gr bullets.......minimal muzzle flash and no smoke....I will note this is very accurate in my RIA but very inaccurate in my...
I will soon start casting for my 455 enfield revolver....260 gr round nose hollow base
then a 215 gr round nose 303 for my Martini Enfield
then for my little 38 enfield I will fo with a 200 gr round nose double groove
For $500 should be easy enough.....
I recommend the lee turret press with 4 holes Lee dies don't forget to get the factory crimp die for both
powder well.....get a good reloading book there are plenty out there
primers, I have only ever used Winchester primers
good place to get all the...
I just made a post about trail boss and 38S&W I shoot .361 lead round nose 200 grain bullets for now just ran out and my source is not producing them right now so I got some 148 gr from Missouri bullets....Any way Im not sure how your putting 3.3 grains of trail boss in that case with out...
In my Cap and Ball days I used both, but please don't believe the myth that you don't need to clean up behind substitute....it will eat your gun too. I personally found ffg and fffg to be suitable and more fun than substitute due to the metering.
The usual disclaimer applies these are my findings yours may be different use my data at your own risk.
After a conversation with the manufacturer I used their formula of remaining case capacity after priming and seating bullet as max load volume then subtract 30% this is the starting load...
My enfield mk6 in 455 webley shot for the first time today the "factory loads" I have were made 20 or so years ago turned from 45 colt brass, they shoot strong but when I shot 5 and checked the 6th round it had unseated by about 1/16 of an inch. There is a crimp groove right at the seating...
I found a 301 cadet barrel that looks like it might work for my Martini Enfield if the threads are the same.....anyone know if they have the same threads?
no pitting the gun was rather pristine until I got a dowel stuck while slugging......there is a bit of a ding in the rifling in 2 spots and the chamber has a few gouges, under recommendation of my gun smith we are attempting to swage some of the metal back into the gouges in the chamber then...
You know, I was just talking this over last night with a gunsmith......seems 38-55 is just a smigon too small, in some places and too big in others.....what shares a same rim dia as 303? it can be a little shorter can definitely be longer. BTW the chamber could be sleeved to 38-55 but not...
Long story short I have a martini enfield that has some chamber damage that might be beyond repair......I was wondering if it were beyond repair how much can I expect to pay to cut a new chamber and cut new rifling for 38-55?....before any one says anything.......Ive seen 38-55 brass made from...
