What are the legalities of posting once fired brass overseas - eg from the US to Australia, personal use to personal use? Can they just be chucked in a padded envelope and put in the mail?

So I’ve been thinking about a receiver sight for my 7x57 build on an m98. I was always assuming I wanted a steel 57 SME but I’ve recently discovered 48Ms, which seem to be even more of a good thing! Problem is they’re hard to find and pricey... If I was I find say just a base, how realistic is...

Has anyone fired a BSA 222 with the factory muzzle brake (featherweight built in the 50s - is this called a Hunter or Royal)? Or even any 222/223 like rifle with a brake? I’m looking at buying quite a nice original one and have always wanted an early CRF BSA. Wanting a 222 as my small...

if you do any chance you could please run a load for me? I’m looking for a load of h4895 giving 2100-2200fps in a 30-06 with a 175gr bullet through a 24” barrel... many thanks! Looking for a reduced load for my young cousin to take a deer with!

Does anyone know where you can buy recessed sling mounts? I remember seeing a site selling high quality sling mounts for wood stocks - you had to cut quite a hole in the stock but the photos they had looked very pro, by far the nicest sling mounts I've seen. I've been trying for ages to find...

What's the accuracy of the marlin guide gun like with open sights? This would be with a reciever peep. Is the short sight radius a real problem. I'm thinking of going the 22" for this reason but do like the idea of the GG. Do people find you can hunt up to 100 yards ok with open sights on...

Out of interest, has anyone cast and sized bullets big enough in a microgroove marlin 45-70- like .460 or above- and not had success with accuracy and lack of bad leading?

Just wondering if it's possible to rebarrel a 444 Marlin LA to 45-70? Will a 45-70 feed/cycle/eject in a 444? Are the recievers/bolts/ejectors the same? It may not be sensible but is it possible?

I want to anneal my cases, mostly to increase case life. I'm getting about 30% split necks from Federal brass in my 243 after 4 loadings. I'm going to see if annealing gets more loads out of them. Also, it can't hurt accuracy to have more even neck tension. I've read up about it a bit, and...

Well I finally picked up the rifle I have been lusting after for about the past 6 months. It's a Huskvarna chambered in 30-06. I don't know the exact model, but it is based on a 1640 action. It is quite a rare example I think, becuse it is not D&T for scope mounts. The experts on swedish...

This may make a few people wonder why, but I have my reasons. I live in the UK where everything gun related is 3x the price of in the US. A mate has offered to give me a few once fired 270 brass. I need to 30-06 brass to start me off and money is real tight as I'm going for the rifle, dies and...

Could someone recommend a good starting load for my 243 with trail boss? The bulllets are cast and weigh 87gr with gas check. Rifle is a mauser 98 with 22" barrel. These are my first bullets and my only needs are to see how they shoot! According to Hodgedon's data centre, with a 100gr bullet...

I live in the UK. I am trying to sell my Winchester 9422M (22WMR) to raise funds for a 30-06. It's a very nice rifle but I find I never use it because I can't reload for it. I'd like to offer it to US buyers but am not sure on the restrictions or paper work involved. Is it realistic? I know...

Hi, I first joined this forum for some info about grizzly defence before a trip to Alaska. Now a few years down the track I'm very into rifle shooting (hunting). This forum has been a great place to read up about all different types of info. However, I'm here with a different question. I'm...

Hi, new to these (or any other firearm forum). This looks like a library of info, so I have a legal question: I'm not a US citizen (UK, or Australian if that's any better, living in UK) and plan a long trip to the Alaskan wilderness. I hear a very varying account of the dangers Grizzly's pose...
