I have recently started reloading 9X18 MAK for my CZ 82. I use trimmed down 9 parabellum cases, with 3.6 grains of Hogdon 38 capped with 96 grain sierra bullets. Though these loads have decent accuracy and feed and eject reliably, I am constantly hit with debris as I shoot. I assume this is...

Or get a CZ 83; if you can find one that is.Virtually the same as an 82, but in .380. I don't believe the mags are interchangeable though. I have an 82 and it is the finest auto I have ever had. I feel it shoots and handles better than my Glock 23. I also had a Bersa thunder .380, though not a...

lee alox As stated several times before, one squirt of Lee alox in an empty coffee can works well. Lay nose up on wax paper to dry for a day and you ready to go. Use in a well ventilated area cause the stuff reeks. Best of luck in finding better cast bullets online and thanks to all of the...

best feeling ever Its among those few memories that never really leave us. And out of the 100,000 plus rounds which some of us may churn out in a lifetime, that will probably be the only one you will remember. My first round a 175gr .308 winchester sits proudly on my windowsill, along with...

I use 3.6 gr of Hogdon 38 with 95gr sierra soft nose. I use trimmed down 9mm parabellum because its available and cheap. Good groups out of my CZ82 but it throws the brass close to 15 yards!

.22 Everything else is either being reloaded now, or waiting for its metallic mate to come into my possession. Only nine more agonizing months until I hit 21.

Just remember that some of the Enfields have very large bores. Particularly the number fives, these barely accommodate .311 and .312 bullets and may have difficulty with the Russian bullets. Interesting thought for the caster though, maybe my .312 mold can be a multi-tasker?

I'm new as well and I've seen many people flux at regular intervals as well as right after adding new lead to the pot. Fluxing is usually only to remove impurities like organic matter and other crud. With my little experience, it does not seem to hurt to flux frequently. I have been using free...

Sometimes....YEAH! Now I'm more of a true irons myself, but i do know many shooters who adore their optics. It definitely depends upon the POU of the rifle. I have seen several competition shooters who will place a scope costing 5 grand atop a rifle that costs less than a thousand!:what...

lee lube I use the cheap as dirt LEE wax based lube in regular steel dies. (best to invest in carbide dies though) Hand-lubing gives you a chance to look over your brass and notice problems (excessive pressure marks, cracks, head separation symptoms, etc) and like it was said before, makes...

I love Hogdon 4895, it burns cleanly and i get consistent velocity. I reload for older, case hardened guns( M1916). Pushing a 150-175 grain with 38.5-40.0 grains is my max. Try IMR 4064. Good powder for most rifle rounds(I heard it was good for very light bullets, but no personal experience)

Myth #9 I personally use lee dippers for my regular pinking/ pest control ammo. With a little practice, you can get decent consistency with your loads. Dippers are far faster than the scale, however I also double check the first several loads and every 5oth or so with a digital scale to be...

Recently purchased some cheap surplus .303 British from the Czech Republic. Its steel core on a solid brass case. I can see other .30 caliber rounds like 7.62NATO, 7.62X39, or 7.62X54 being mass produced overseas with steel cores, but .303...... really?:scrutiny: Apparently the stuff is barely...

In two months time, you will probably find yourself buying a single or multiple stage press anyway.;) Offers much greater control and increases your speed. Think ahead and buy in bulk, unless you have a local source for raw materials and spare parts. Seconding........actually thirding the...

Thanks, ran a magnet over them and they are true brass. Oh well, maybe just an odd box. Thanks for all of the input guys:D

Recently bought some Czech Republic .303 ammo. It is all brass and is boxer primed with only one flash hole.However, the box is marked that it is non reloadable. What gives?

The Enfield, like most bolt actions at the time were actually designed off of the Mauser. Mauser fires a more powerful round(assuming 8mm and not 7mm-08), but the enfield has greater capacity and in my opinion, faster rate of fire.I also like the Enfield's sights WAAAAAAY more than the Mauser's...

.22 9X18 MAK 9X19 LUGER .38 5.56mm .30-30 .308 WIN .303 BRIT 12 GAUGE 2 3/4in I reload, so isn't my footprint actually zero?

Just bought a No4 Mk1 today as well. you know you have found YOUR gun when you pick it off the table at the gun show... and your hands begin to shake:D.

Many will buy a broken gun at the right price. Unless you really want to break even, then it might be a problem. Heck- Even I might be interested.
