Slow here too. Problem seems only with this forum. The rest of the leverguns site, articles etc, works fine.

Tried it with w748 and softer bullets, about 14 15 bhn. Not good. Accuracy prooved poor when trying lower powder charges to keep below the point of leading. Your bullet bhn would probably need a full charge of powder to obturate it, and you would end up with excessive velocity that would cause leadi...

I still dont see winchester primers or winchester 22 ammo anywhere. Been a long time. Remington 45-70 bullets hard to find as well. Found a store who has stock at $48.00 per hundred....kinda expensive. Powder here in north san diego is also thin on the ground. Last pound of 4895 sold a couple of mon...

The cases will come back after firing a couple of times. I have found a loss of accuracy with almost all brass and calibers after annealing. The first reload of the case usually gives me larger group size, until the case hardens up a little and neck tension returns again. The trick is to not over an...

The 30-338 wildcat has been around since the 338 win mag was first produced. 30 aliber bullet in a 338 case. Was the bee's knees at one time for long range shooting. I like the 6.5mm in anything for all ranges. Possibly the best cartridge out to 3/4 mile and any distances shorter than that would be ...

AJ,
+1 on panzercats post. Safe mode and system restore are great assets. McAfee is slow and consumes a lot of your system resources. I used it for 5 years, and it is outdated and outmoded. I am sending you a pm on what I now use.

Our local dealer is paying $1657 for eagles right now and selling at +$20. Liberty coins del mar.

You can sell your gold at a coin and precious metal dealer, or numismatic coin dealer. American eagles should net you $1650 right now. No tax is due, as Eagles are still legal tender currency.

Anyone use the improved tang sight with the removable upright? I have read the few online reviews that I can find. What is the quality, fit and function like? I am thinking of fitting bases to two rifles, and having a set of uprights and apertures that I can swap out between each rifle. From the inf...

Contrary to genral impressions Stainless steel that is used in the firearms is not more difficult but is much more machineable than chromoly. The s/s used in barrel steel is stainless screw stock 416R made to run on auto screw machines at high speed. The steel used in s/s actions is 1704, a tougher ...

I know for a fact that 41 mags go boom in 44mag chambers. Accuracy sucks though.

AJ, you need to anneal your brass more before fireforming. It will help to prevent splits.

What happens when you put only one round in the magazine and cycle it through the action?

flatnose

I would call winchester and find out what ammo they tested the gun with at the repair facility. Tell then you were using fiocchi. I tried to find a picture online of the 140 grain ammo, but could only find 142grain pointy ammo. Maybe thats the problem.

flatnose

Hi Joe,
I set the 405 rem bullet to the correct COL. With the 405 grain rem's, that would be the step towards the nose of the bullet. I just put a light crimp just above it. With a fully loaded magazine and near max loads, the bullets stay put.

Just tried 307 cartridge in my custom 94 22-250R. Same problem you have. The 307 is jamming against the stop. Dimples the cartridge in the same place, and I use a standard 30-30 lower link.

flatnose

Handirifle, I think marc has the answer to your problem. The cartridge stop may well be your problem. The cartridge diameter for both the 30/30 and 375 is close to the same diameter, measured to the 30/30 shoulder length. The 375 a little less maybe. The 307 at the shoulder is around 0.050'' larger ...

arjunkie, I agree. It is a really good powder in the straight wall cases, and also in the .223. We had a problem with cycling in the ar's though, but good accuracy. I tried it in the 30-30 with 150 grain bullets, and it did give good velocity, but groups were 2.5'' or even worse. For me, it was just...

I will be trying IMR4895. Some have had good results with IMR4831, which in theory should proove to be good in this cartridge. These two powders are a good stretch apart on the powder charts, and sometimes I have found that some of the less mentioned or popular powders can come up trumps, but I cert...

Thanks guys. 2200 is the last powder that I have that I have not tried in the 348. I have a lot of it, but I only have one use for it so far and that is for the 300grain 45-70 reminton hollow point bullets. Super accurate with full loads. It also works great in the 444 marlin with 240 grain bullets ...

I do not have quickload, but would be grateful if someone can run me some numbers please.
Its for the 348 winchester cartridge , 200 grain hornady bullets, winchester large rifle and maybe magnum rifle primers using aa2200 powder. I do not know what other info would be required.
Thanks guys.

Same here in southern california victor. 51 tonight, 34 two nights ago. last week daytime temps pushing 80. this week mid 60's. Next 5 days 73/54, then cooling off again. Not bad by any means. We are 1/2 a block from the beach and it went down to 28 at night couple of weeks ago.

No numbers for power off. Think landing speed was 130mph, and one engine landing was 150knots. The mossie needed 155 knots airspeed to climbout on 1 engine. Max engine boost on the 2 stage superchared engines was 18psi in high gear for 5 mins only. During a mission a mossie lost an engine and had to...

Grizz, 99% sure its the elevator trim. The aircraft is unladen and running a light load of fuel and no ammo, so the tail will be trimmed down.

Hi Grizz, Yes the seat back rest is armored as is the windshield. It was good for smaller rounds and shrapnel but not the larger 20mm cannon.

There is no hazmat fee on loaded ammo or primed brass.
If you buy powder and primers from Midway, you pay hazmat twice as they come from two different warehouses.

Hi eric, I have not tried the lee tumble lube bullets yet, but they seem to have good reviews.

Of the modern and more recent 1886's, the 1986 anniversary models did not have the tang safety. The 2000-2001 production did. Not sure about the Davidsons 1886, I think they were the dull flat black ones.....not 100% sure on that though.

Swab the bore with hoppes and leave it for an hour. Then brush and wait for 1/2 hour, then push a couple of patches through. Reapply hoppes and wait anther hour followed by a clean patch. If it comes out clean then that should be it. That all I ever do, and every barrel seems to clean up good.

Hi JDT, Try cleaning the shellholder recess where the rim of the case fits in. Use a tooth pick etc. Also check and make sure the rims of the cases are clean. Tumbling media dust and dirt will cause the cases to tilt. You have to keep an eye on any spilled powder and the primers, otherwise it will j...

Hi Mark, Check what Joe has suggested. If that makes no difference then try this.

In the LEE example, what was the diameter of the lead bullet? Lead cast bullets are usually 0.001'' over bore diameter, and sometimes more. The jacketed projectiles are at bore size. Larger bullet diameter= more pressure.
