Re: Damko Martini Rifles
I always wanted to take a Martini like that and rebarrel/chamber it to 32 S&W long like C.E. Harris did as a sort of next step up from a 22 rimfire small game hunter. But a 25-35 Winchester might be just as good for my needs. I'll have to keep an eye on this. Wm I’m starting my build of a 32 S&...

One thing you may or may not know is when loading through the gate only push the cartridge 3/4 of the way in unless it’s the last one. This keeps the fighting to a minimum.

Re: Need Help With Loading 38 55
The LEE O-ring nut is OK if you remove the die by grabbing the nut and not the die body. Be sure to snug the nut down to seat the O-ring once it is adjusted first . Or you can buy a bunch of split locking rings to replace the LEE ones.

So I bought this Dietz #2 D-Lite lantern today and was cleaning it up and noticed something rattling around in the fuel tank. It was these two wood slugs .33 dia and 1.27 long. There was old stale fuel in it so maybe they could have swelled some. The lantern is a 1945 model. Any ideas.
