Mcgees pricing is from 2007.....look carefully.
If anyone needs 348 brass, I have plenty of it. 307 and 356 as well.

I took the BFSC in early 2002. Cost $20, and good for life.
1 year later it is not good for life, now need HSC, and is $25 every 5 years.
How can you score if they keep moving the goal posts?

AJ, maybe you are aware that the 308 and the 7.62x51 use different headspace gauges, and the 308 is often and most probably loaded to higher pressures in factory ammo than the 7.62x51 cartridge. I know there was a problem loading the higher than recomemded pressure 30-06 cartridge in the garand. I h...

So thats my problem! I have been getting the flashing bolt for the past 10 years. Exact same pattern every time. No pain, but leaves me feeling a bit tired. Bright sunlight or sometimes the computer screen can bring it on. If I sit down for half an hour it goes away. Optician says not to worry, and ...

If its california, forget about it. Import it, and resell it, its alot less grief. I will post a link later.

Nice stash. I gave up on the propane thing. At $6.00 a gallon in the barbecue cyliners it gets expensive real quick. I bought a wok burner and run it of the natural gas meter. Heats my 400 sq/ft garage in about 5 min. I use it for curing paint jos on restoration projects, and doubles up for melting ...

Remember first seeing them 40 yrs ago in the U.K. Gas and bulk tankers used them on their trailers, then they were used on the driven axles on ridgid trucks. Drivers love them for off road and construction sites in the U.K. Advantages are, longer tire life, better fuel mileage, increased payload due...

Just measured a sampling of some new 356 brass. 0.058 rim thickness to 0.055 measuring around the circumference. Not exactly match quality. It appears that your rifles headspace is within factory spec. I would not worry about any headspace issues, but if you do want to tighten the headspace by 5 tho...

CNG power is the way to go. Get ahead of the curve if you can. Once again government/EPA stands in the way of progress. I am switching over to CNG, but must use a pre 1974 vehicle to convert as to avoid smog test requirements here in california. Cng here is $1.85 per GGE. I typically burn less than ...

Look into and study bullet B.C. You will then see why the 6.5 calibers are so popular. T acheive the BC's of the 6.5mm, you would need heavier/longer bullets in the 30 calibers. Also need more powder. All this leads to more recoil, making the gun harder to handle. This is why the 222 remington, 6mm ...

Just to clear up any confusion if there is any. Using my method, you actually use a live primer and fire it in an unloaded case. It sounds a strange method for determining headspace, but it does work. Adjust the headspace with a new locking bolt as required, and keep an eye on the headspace. I have ...

How to measure your headspace if you only have a dial caliper. Here is how I do it. Take an empty case and full length size it. Measure the overall length. Insert a new primer with no powder or bullet, making sure the primer is fully seated. Chamber and fire the case. Now measure the overall length ...

I use similar items/tools, only they are a bit larger. I use them in automotive panel beating, for bumping out dents, often used with a dolly. I make them from car leaf springs, or pieces of wood. The wooden ones are used on aluminum, so as not to stretch or work harden the alloy. They too are calle...

I use the steel ones on steel, and wooden ones on aluminum.
Never seen or had use for bone ones though.

I can think of two situations where case resizing is not used, for a few shots at least. The first is in schutzen competition. The cartridge is not used to hold the bullet in place, but holds only the powder charge. The bullet is seated precisely into the lands of the rifling first with a tool. The ...

I have seen this on a few guns. Check the muzzle and the area around the forcing cone as well. If its not starting to flake in that area, I would take the gun to a local plater and just get the cylinder redone. You will only be able to leave the cylinder with him as he most likely will not have a FF...

Good rifles. Although heavier than the 30-30, there still is noticably more recoil. Very accurate.... better than 1'' grouping @ 100yds. The best load I found with very little experimenting is 0.5 grain ( just being safe), below the maximun of w748 powder according to winchester data. This is using ...

I use avgas from the local airport. Works wonders for older cars with high compression. Allows more spark advance, and better mpg. Higher calorific value too.

OK, I think I may have found your problem, and I hope I am wrong. I looked through some of your previous posts, to get a clue as to what caliber and load you shoot. Here is what happened to me. 94 win top eject. Ran out of IMR 3031 powder, so thought I would try IMR4227. 150grn bullet, 20grns of pow...

flatnose

Take the bolt out of the action, and depress the ejector pin and spring with your thumbnail. it should retract until the pin is flush with the bolt face. If it does not retract far enough, it is faulty.

I my 2001 winchester 1886 rifle, I use 34.5grns IMR4198 for around 1350fps. Accurate load with rem's 300 and 405grn bullet, also with lead plain base 405grn Bear Creek bullets. Winchester brass and primers.

RIHMFIRE,
It is a hoax.
I received it in an email recently, and quickly uploaded it last night. It did look like a whale shark, so I just checked it out. Other pictures confirm it, althought the spots are a dead giveaway.

I once borrowed a greener in .22 caliber. A beautiful rifle with a very sweet action. I could not put it down, and it was difficult to give it back.
Nice shotgun.

The plain old 308, or 7.62x51 if you like, has a proven track record and is hard to beat. Leftys suggestion, the 30/338 was at one time favoured by benchrest shooters. If I were to throw some dough at a nice barrel, action, trigger etc etc, I might go with the 30/338. For 300-500yds the 308 winchest...

Joe, I have 3 26" octagnal barrel sets, which I have been saving for a rainy day. None are from the 50's though. 1970's I think. One of them is a plain winchester octagonal. The other is for a classic, probably not what you need, and the last is a numrich untapered octagonal. I have the wood fo...

If I were to go to 45-90, I think I would look for a longer stock off a 1886, and fit that to the 71 receiver. The shorter stock of the 71 was the only thing I did not like about the firearm. A bad fitting or too short of a stock is going to hurt with the 45-90. I never understood why the 71 stock i...

Joe, You can use MAP gas for a hotter flame. Propane will do it, but it takes longer to heat. To get a neutral flame, fire up the propane, and keep adding Oxygen until a central cone forms within the flame. Only add enough oxygen to reach this point. The hottest part of the flame will be at the tip ...

I think you are right, they are 158grain bullets.
So far I have shot around 300 rounds of the above without any problems.

I use semi wadcutters. Think they are 148grn. No problems in 38 brass either.
