Thanks for all the advice. I'm a fairly new shooter and I was told by many people when first buying the rifle that all I needed was a bore snake. I didn't listen and bought a rod and brushes anyway but I always had trouble getting the brushes down the barrel (they would get stuck in the chamber)...

Lead. 158gr RNFP or SWC. Hard cast and pre lubed.

Hi, I've had a .357 Marlin for roughly 9 months now. I started reloading some time after I purchased it. I noticed during cleaning that I could see a scrape or mark towards the muzzle end and assumed it was wear or not a good enough clean. I clean it mostly after every shoot with a bore snake...

What I meant by crushing the primer is when I went to seat the primer it only went a quarter of the way in and stopped and got stuck and stopped me from removing the case from the case holder. In order to remove the case from the holder I had to wiggle the case around in the holder in order to...

Thank you. I didn't want to go and buy a case uniformer or deburring tool because at the moment I'm only using pistol calibers and didn't think I need one. I do have a Lyman primer pocket cleaner and I just used it on 40 cases. All of them primed easily. I didn't think you needed to clean the...

I have the Lee Auto prime. I reload .38 Special and .357 Magnum. I use CCI 500 Small pistol primers. I have no issues priming .38 special it primes the cases very well but when I try to prime the .357 brass the primer gets stuck and I have to move the case around and crush the primer then decap...

I haven't seen anything in the manual that mentions it. I just wondered if anyone else has seen this on the newer Marlins, CSBL etc.

I handled the scope and I really liked it. I don't think the conversion is a massive deal. I'm still fairly new to shooting and reloading and I'm not looking to be pinpoint accurate but still fairly accurate. I'm happy with the purchase. In the UK we do not nearly have as much choice as you...

I disassembled my Marlin 1894 csbl for the first time for a good clean today and noticed this. I've only had the gun a month. Is this packing grease or lube or something similar? https://imgur.com/LHnz85k https://imgur.com/WtrJQ9J https://imgur.com/TnYxAtf It's really smooth. I reckon it's...

I have a Marlin 1894 CSBL and I just gave it a good clean after not cleaning it for a month. I took the lever out and the tip was all black and the black stains wouldn't come off no matter how much rem oil I put on and wiped it. Is it normal to have black stains stay on the lever and a bit on...

Not sure how hard the lead is. I'm from the UK so I'm not exactly spoilt for choice and the ones I use are GM Hardcast. They're one of the only lead bullet brands over here.

We talking really light loads? I use the same lead for my .38 special loads, 158gr RNFP 3.3gr bullseye.

It just worried me because the recoil felt hard and it was really loud. Much louder than I was used to and I've shot store bought factory .357 rounds. What pressure signs should I be looking for? Like you said I shouldn't be getting any at that gr but just to settle my mind what should I be...

I went to the range today to shoot my new reloads. I made 30 .357 cartridges. For 10 cartridges I used 13.5gr of 2400 and for the other 20 I used 12.7gr of 2400. I was using 158gr LSWC. When I fired the recoil I experienced seemed much more than I was used to. I'm used to .38 special or a .357...

I'm looking at this specific scope for my .223 target rifle. I don't understand what it means when it says 20x 1/2 mil dot reticle at the end. Can someone explain like I'm 5. https://us.hawkeoptics.com/sidewinder-8-32x56-20x-mil-dot.html

Mainly I will be shooting at 100m. Every 3-4 months (ish) I will be going to a 100m-1000m range. Can't see myself going too often but enough to justify getting a decent scope. I'll mainly be shooting at 100m.

That's very strange. That shop is just down the road from me, maybe 5mins away. The thing is in the UK Market there are loads of Airgun accessories because of the difficulties to obtain a Section 1 firearms license (Section 1 is rimfire and centerfire rifles). That's why I'm asking here, I...

So would a diamond tactical be a good choice? What about the crossfire II? I'm open to other brands, it's just I'm based in the UK so it's difficult to find ones that I can get over here.

I have a Tikka TAC A1 in .223 and I just don't know what scope to get. I've been looking at Vortex scopes but ones like the Crossfire II and the Diamondback seem more marketed to hunters and I'm unsure if they're suitable for 100m target shooting. I usually shoot at 100m and rarely 600m (very...
