Thank you so very much. I’m thinking now, my thoughts of going 43 gr of IMR 4198 is just right. I’ve been told on other sites to only use trapdoor loads. But on that he classifies my Marlin 1895 as strong, up there with Ruger 1s. Although I have no desire to load those super hot loads, as I said...
Anyone have load data for a Marlin lever, IMR 4198, and jacketed RNFP 300 gr.? I’m finding a big swing in ranges so I’m trying to narrow it down. I just need a good solid, no bs kinda load, factory type, not too hot, not too weak.
My partner (JR777) in crime and I have made these, and I thought I would offer them up here as well...
Empty chamber flags for the range, made of real tail fur, of which I have Raccoon, Bobcat, and Kit Fox, I can do other tails as well, if the interest is there. They sport a real .223 case and...
I can't seem to find them anywhere. I found 100 from an outfit online, they allowed that Fiocchi quit making them, so no more will be sold from them. I would prefer new, unprimed, but I'd take what I can get, as long as they are orange.
Someone tell me why I can’t get seating consistency? Brand new Starline, across the board, trim, shoulder, bullet, everything is within .001, yet more often than not I get the setting dead on, try rolling through, but on the second one I’m .02 or worse, and have to dial every one in. Is this...
Should be a nice week for it. I’m going to my buddy’s range this weekend for testing. Loading up 100 - 6.5 cm (Man Bun), and 100 - 45-70. Also gonna play with my Heritage .22 rev.
My daughter bought me the pretty, shiny, bright Lyman Brass Smith for Christmas. I couldn’t get anything close to consistency out of it, plus it can barely cut H4350. Went back to my $20 Lee plastic one, it is head and shoulders above the Lyman, and accurate to +/- .1 every throw. If it hadn’t...
