I'm trying to work up a load to use to put away some ammo for just in case. I wanted it to be close to mil surplus. Published velocities aren't far from what various manuals list, and I wasn't going to be real particular, just consistent across a lot of rounds. I wanted 2800 - 3000 fps with...

Does anyone have a source for mil issue duplicate loads for most calibers? Supposedly Handloader magazine put together such a list several years ago, but I can't find it. Sometimes my google-fu is weak, but trying to find it all in one place hasn't been easy. Published velocities for most...

The History Channel had a show on Iwo Jima last night and they described a Marine using a "stinger" machinegun to assault a bunker complex. Apparently the Marines had taken the aircraft version of the Browning 1919 with a higher rate of fire and added parts from the BAR and Garand to create a...

I picked up a type 99, early war production in fair shape and am in the process of getting it shooting. I don't think the front sight had been moved since it left the factory; I had to take it to the 20 ton shop press to get it to move. The action screws were almost as tight but finally came...

My grandson will be ready for a rifle of his own for next whitetail season, so it is time to start looking. My great-nephews are set up with single shots from NEF in .243 and they work but I'm not satisified with them. My complaints are with length of pull and the way the scope mounts. Right...

We need to have a shoot somewhere around KC this fall. We have a member (mordechaianiliewicz) who needs some range time. Unfortunately, I don't know where to do this. I don't know the ranges around KC. I'd be willing to do the planning and such if I can get some help with the location...

Additional comment not really necessary. http://www.reason.com/news/show/118708.html

What are some of the loads that have given the best performance for you with this round. I have a M96 and also a M94 carbine so I will probably have to develop two different loads due to barrell length. I will probably stay with 139 - 140 grain bullets.

Let's pick apart another Hollywood bit of silliness. Most of the show was pretty much formula cop show stuff, but the gun twist was a bit more creative, if not more physically possible. The set-up: Bad guy shoots victim with service 9mm and leaves two bullets in body. One penetrates very...

I'm looking for a cheap way to measure trigger pull, but don't really have enough need to spend much cash for a fancy gauge. I was thinking of using a sock or something similar and adding a know amount of weight untill I get to the pull weight I want. I happen to have some cast bullets of know...

I bought a Swiss M 94 cavlary carbine at a sale Sat. and I am having trouble dis-assembling it. See picture. http://www.rebooty.com/~dutchman/94carbine.html I can't get the bayonet lug/mount off, and want to make sure I'm trying to do it right. I've removed the retaining screw, and...

I need some opinions. Israeli K-98 I picked up an Israeli modified K-98 at a gunshow a while back and need some opinions on what to do with it. It has been re-chambered to 7.62 Nato. The reciever is '41 and has the late war trigger guard and front barrel band; the rear band is early war. The...

I was thinking about the different loads I've worked up and so far the most accurate has never been the maximum load for any given bullet and powder combination. I haven't done that many for that many different calibers, so I was wondering if there was a correlation with heavier calibers liking...

A little backgroung first. I picked up a lot of mixed brass at an auction a while back and in the 5 gal bucket! full was about 150 pcs of 30-06 blanks. The necks on the blanks had the edges rolled over enough to hold a cardboard plug that resizing to load bullets is tricky. I can do it but I...

I've been thinking about getting into casting my own, but don't want to sink a whole lot of cash into it at first. What is the minimum equipment necessary to do it right? I don't mind spending some extra time, but one bullet at a time over a box of matches might be a little too basic. To...

I bought a used older Lee three hole turret press at a gun show recently, and have used it a little for pistol calibers. So far, I like most of the results. One thing that I don't like is the de-priming. It works, but the spent primers are hard to corral. The best way I've figured out so far...

Finch's thread on target stands got me thinking about a project I have been mulling over for a while. A while back I saw a story on one of the gunny TV shows about a rifle training course at Gunsite (I think). They used a silouette target with a gong in the middle that swung sideways when...
