There are very specific rules on what scopes are allowed. As was mentioned, 4.5x magnification is the max. I have an upper with a scope but still prefer to shoot the iron sights. I have been doing it for a while though…

From a site I found: 13450 has L C 53 headstamps, and a crate filled with lot LC 13717 was made on December 1953

30 Carbine primers aren’t crimped. 223, 308, and 30-06 are. However, 30-06 HXP brass can be reloaded without removing the crimp. They use a three point crimp, not a full ring. The Dillon crimp remover is the best option I have seen, other than a Dillon 1050! The Lee AP press may also work...

Buy a 12ga semi auto or pump for ducks, preferably with synthetic stocks. Boats. Weather, and mud are hard on duck guns! There are times that the third shot is worthwhile. Then get a 20ga O/U for clay games and upland bird hunting.

What do you mean they couldn't be run through the die? The cases won't enter the die? The case won't size completely? What was the case damage? What do you mean the die was adjusted "vis a vis the pin"? Does the press completely cam over with the die and shell holder in place but no case...

I shot skeet for a number of years with a 20ga 870. I enjoyed shooting a higher score than the guys with the high dollar over unders. They seemed to get “distracted” when I broke the doubles with a lowly 20ga pump. I am not sure if I ever shot a 25 with that gun, but I broke all the doubles...

There is also a “pre 17” which was made before the model number was added. It is a K-22 Masterpiece. https://guncollectorsclub.com/smith-wesson-k22-masterpiece.htm

There is no way air “trapped” in a sizing die is going to do anything. There is simply not enough pressure to matter. The sizing die isn’t changing the volume of the brass case by much and then the primer gets knocked out, putting a hole in the case, releasing any pressure that might be there.

I have had to grind the bottom of a few dies to get them to resize properly without putting too much pressure on the press frame.

I don’t know if Pat Marlin is still in business. A lot of folks had problems with his check makers. There were huge delays getting what was ordered also. It could be better now, or not. He was very active on castboolits.gunloads.com but got himself banned. If you want threaded rod, check...

There is no good reason not to shoot it! Have fun…. 32 S&W Long is easy to reload.

Will the Spitzer loaded round fit in the cylinder? I would think the OAL would be too long. It would work great in a Contender barrel.

With the decapping rod screwed out too far, you might have been hitting the rod on the bottom inside of the case, preventing the die from going far enough to fully resize the case. It would feel like the die was bottomed out and binding the press. With Dillon tool heads and shell plates...

Several companies offer discounts to 03 holders so you can get the cost back pretty quickly.

38-55 brass may be longer than 375 Win. There are different two lengths of 38-55 also.

Your video shows is that your trigger is not “two stage”, which it should be. Somebody definitely messed with it and some replacement parts are in order and will fix the problem. Each stage should be 2+ pounds, for a total trigger weight in excess of 4 lbs. When the rifle didn’t cock at the...

Cast can be quite a rabbit hole! I have two RCBS Pro-Melts and a couple Lee pots. I didn’t really intend to have two pro-melts, but that’s how it worked out. After I was already pretty far down the rabbit hole, I went to an estate sale and bought over 60 molds. I sold some to friends but kept...

I have shot this bullet a lot. 3.7gr Red Dot works very well. Low recoil and very good accuracy. You can reduce the 231 load, just make sure every one is exiting the barrel. You can go too slow and stick a bullet in a revolver. I think my load is 3.2gr W231. You do need a slightly heavier...

I have shot .359 cast bullets in my 350 Legend with no problems. As was mentioned, if it will chamber, go ahead and shoot it. Cast bullets are normally sizes .001 or .002 larger than jacketed. If a .359 bullet won’t chamber, just resize it to .358 and try again. If that doesn’t work, size to...

There Is normally a hole drilled into the mold when a probe is used and the probe stays in the entire time. I don’t know how deep it is, but I am sure it’s more than 1/4”. It probably goes to the middle of the mold. If you do that, be careful you don’t drill into a cavity! The whole goal is...
