My new 91/30 is shooting about six inches to the right at 50 yards and so I need to drift the front sight to adjust the point of impact. Is there any special trick to this or do I just tap it across with a soft punch?

After two years of reloading, I finally have a big enough pile of messed up rounds that I think it is time to purchase myself a bullet puller so that I can reuse the components. We have countless threads on what is the best press, best case trimmer, best tumbler etc and so I'm thinking we need...

After many years of dreaming, I finally purchased a new Remington 700 Police which I plan to use mainly for puching holes in paper at the 200-600 yard range. I stretched the budget to include a Timney trigger and I already have a Harris bipod that I plan to mount it on. My next task is to...

I have an Australian .303 SMLE Mk1 No III that doesn't have a rear sight on it but I do have a spare rear sight. The barrel is a heavy barrel. Can anyone tell me how to mount the sight and if I need a speacial rear sight that fits the heavy barrel?

Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to bell out the neck of these cases after resizing or should the bullet be able to be pressed straight in?

Hi all, Due to the high prices of jacketed bullets, I've decided to look into using cast projectiles for plinking with my .303. We have a manufacturer here in Australia called Hawkesbury River Bullet Company who make a 180grn .311 projectile and I was hoping that somebody here could suggest...

I'm just putting together some ammo for a carcano I picked up recently and was wondering if anyone could let me know a good starting OAL for this cartridge. I'm using new Privi brass trimmed to 2.055, Winchester Large Primers, 27grn of an Australian powder called AR2206H and 160grn .268 Hornady...

Just started reloading 308 using a standard RCBS two die set. The internal diameter of the necks on my fired cases is somewhere in the vicinity of .315 and after resizing, they come down to around .306 to .307. The expander ball on my die is exactly .308 and so I'm assuming that the brass is...

I recently purchased a Springfield 1903 (actually made by Remington). I'm wondering if anyone on here can help me identify the date of manufacture. The serial number is 3143XXX. The other significant marking near the serial number is "P.B.S" but it looks as though this was not stamped by the...

I will be visiting the USA in a few weeks and thought I'd pick up a new single stage press while I'm over there seeing that reloading gear is so much more expensive here in Australia. I'm looking any for tips on finding the cheapest place to buy an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. I've seen some...

I was hoping that somebody on here could give me some info about the size of ground walnut media for a vibratory tumbler, eg what size / diameter / weight is each piece? I am using it for the preliminary clean of my brass before resizing it and will use corn cob later for the polishing. I ask...

Hi all, Next item on my reloading shopping list is a tumbler. We only have a few options here in Australia and my choice is basically between the Lyman Turbo 1200 and the basic RCBS unit. They are exactly the same price although the Lyman comes with 2lb of media. Does anybody have a reason...

A few older posts here indicate that Magtech primers are reasonable quality and fine for most non-precision applications. They have only just appeared at my local store (Australia) and are half the price of Winchester, CCI, Federal, etc but no local shooters have any experience with them yet...

Can anyone tell from the photo in this ad if the guy is selling a Rock Chucker or a Rock Chucker Supreme? I asked him but he doesn't know. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310124703519&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:au#ebayphotohosting

With ammo prices skyrocketing, I've decided that it is finally time to dive into the world of reloading. I've done quite a bit of research on my own including trawling through old threads here and I think that I've narrowed it down to just two options for my first press. I'm a fairly light...

Hi all, I'm thinking about loading up some 30 carbine shells and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on suitable primers. Are they large pistol or small rifle? Any brand recommendations? Yankee

Bought an "Israeli Mauser" off the web a while ago and finally took possession of it last week. I love the history of these rifles but I understand that many of them are a mix of various German and other European rifles. Not being an expert in the various makes and models from this period, I...

Hi all, I recently purchased a 1943 Lithgow SMLE and was finally able to get it to the range yesterday. Shooting from a bench and sandbag, I was able to get four 5-shot groups of roughly 7-8 inches which I'm pretty happy with at this early stage. The problem is that the groups were all...
