The target that 66gto shows is quite good. The only problem I had with them was trying to line up four points on the cross hairs and spending too much time doing so, thus messing up my breathing pattern. Now I just put a row of staples on plain paper and aim at them. Accuracy was a fair bit better, ...

Michaux, How far are the bullets moving back into the cartridge? Bullets can move in the case neck, but should not move past the cannelure groove on the bullet. The expander ball diameter does not matter, providing that when you seat the bullet into the neck it does not fall into the cartridge. Usin...

I use 34.5 grains of IMR4198 under a plain based 405grn bullet in my 1886 miroku/chester. Its one of the most accurate loads I have, and comfortable in the recoil dept. Maybe 1500fps..I don't know.

flatnose

There is some listed on gunbroker now. Hornady brass, 308 marlin.

flatnose

If youcan't find 308 marlin brass, 307 winchester brass will work. Bump the shoulder back and trim to length. 307 brass is still out there, if not I have some I can sell you.

Many years ago, we had a guy at the garage that was too tight to buy doughnuts. We would buy all jelly filled, and leave them on the roof of a car till tea time. He would grab one when nobody was looking. I got tired of that lark, so I took the grease gun and injected 4 or 5 squirts of axle grease i...

358 bullets are 29.00 and $34.00 at powder valley listed under specials.
Keep an eye on that site for other deals. They had 348 bullets for $27.00 earlier this week. Stock goes fast.

So i was right the first time. It could be done with any email account or any thing requiring a password for that matter. I guess that the program they are using, runs until it finds the password. Would yahoo see all the login attempts at their end?

flatnose

OK. I get it. Malware hidden in email. I guess its good to look at the news sometimes

flatnose

If a Yahoo email account password can be hacked, then would that not also be the case with any email account from any other web source? I was under the impression that only the account holder knows his password. Does yahoo have password info?

Welcome. Congrats on the browning. What loads were you trying to feed it? I have not had problems with my Miroku/Winchester using bullets upto 500grains, except they are tumbling, not quite hitting the target sideways, but still grouping really well. It loves 300grn remingtons and just about any 405...

Nate's idea sounds pretty good. Try ACE hardware for the spring.

flatnose

765x53, It would require drilling out, although it seems that may not be the problem. If there is enough thread left, but the screw is going in too far, a washer under the head will do, or bed it with JB Weld or MarineTex. JB is cheaper, and will actually hold a screw thread. Give the screw a few co...

I would probably go with a savage. An 18'' or 20'' barrel may not be enough to get you the velocity for 1000yds to stay supersonic. 308's have been used for many years to 1000yds, but there are better choices these days especially when handloading. I would go with a 7mm-08 (always plenty of brass ou...

Original 1886's were winchesters. 1886's made in 1986 were classified as brownings, made by miroku, and had no safety on the tang. 1886's from around year 2000 had safety and were calassified as winchesters made in japan by miroku. Go figure.
All are good.

Its sounds like there maybe impurities. Cartridge brass is 70/30 (copper/zinc), and nothing else. i would call winchester direct and ask for replacement free of charge. It seems to me that brass quality theese days is not what it used to be, especially so with the seasonal and short run brass. I hav...

Most appreciated. Thank you.

is it possible within the quickload program, to substitute different case capacities in H2O, for a given cartridge.

flatnose

I could have used that last night. Actually, could have used on a few months ago. I prepped and annealed some 22-250 on their third firing only to find I should have annealed after the second. Lost about 10% to case neck splits, and now I may get another loading on the remainder, but I am a little w...

Ethanol should never have been put into gas. Aside from being a huge ripoff, the damage done to engines must run into the billons per year.

Use racing fuel, or get some avgas from your local airport. Ethanol is not allowed in avgas.

jmiller, I should have said that the intended bullet is for paper punching. I do have plenty rem 405's and also cast 405's,and agree with what you say, except I found the 300 rem's to be more accurate in my rifle. I am trying to find an accurate and economical loading, so that when my current stock ...

Just loaded up the last of my 300 grn remington bullets, and seems like there are no more to be found. I have plenty of powder, primers, brass and lead, so it looks like its time to start casting. The 300 rems shoot real good in my 1886 45-70, so I am thinking about trying a cast bullet in the same ...

Magic Jack. You can have your number transferred to it for a small fee. I have been using the jack for 3 years, and no phone bill. Needs to be plugged into a computer that has internet access. It will automatically save messages on your computer. The only downside to the magicjack is that you cant s...

Yep, I would say prices are high, and probably will climb a lot more in the next couple of years. 8lbs of powder at more than a few suppliers is going for over $160 plus shipping and hazmat. Primers 30 to 35 bucks per 1000 and brass is 80cents a piece for large cases, 50 to 60 cents for midsizes and...

Yep, the diesel electric is the only thing that can match a steam engine. Both are capable of making massive amounts of torque at low rpms, without the need for torque multiplication through gearboxes. By varying the voltage or steam pressure you can apply maximum torque from a standing start. Cant ...

No nitromoors here. The best I have found is about half as good

If the stock is in good shape, why strip it? Just sand it and apply your new finish.

2 miles per trip is not enought running time to replace the charge that was taken out of the battery to start it.
It takes about 20min driving to replace the charge. Cold batteries deliver a lot less power than the sticker ratings.

Another possibility....chambers on leveractions are difficult to clean without taking the action apart and going in from the chamber end. If you have seen brass deposits on the chamber neck, this would account for all your problems. Plug the breech end and fill the chamber with copper solvent....or ...

sixgun just saved me from retyping my disappeared post. Fire the inked up cartridge, and try to extract it as soon as possible, using a bit of force as needed. You should see marks or abrasions on the fired case if the chamber is damaged. Check the bullet tip and make sure it is not touching the rif...

Never had soot problem with win 760. I use it for full or near full loads in certain cartridges. I dont load for the 6.5 swede, but low loads tend not to be the best for accuracy, I switch to imr stick powders for those loads.

I am not an attorney, lawyer etc, but have dealt with this scenario for close to 40 years now. State laws will vary, but the basics are this, at least for california.

Drill out the rivets and open the joint enough to insert a piece of sand paper. Clean both mating surfaces.

That's a rare aircraft. The last airworthy He111 I saw was about 12 years ago at the confederate airforce base in mesa arizona. They were performing repairs. It was powered by rolls royce motors instead of the inverted Jumo's. It was destroyed in a crash shortly after. Looks like that one has the ro...

flatnose

I should add,
Your case necks will be shorter, and need trimming back to square them up.
If you are getting splits, anneal the brass and use the cream of wheat method....trying to seat a bullet in a case with a soft shoulder may cause the shoulder to deform and collapse.

cspook, hello and welcome. What year is your 71? It is interesting why 2 of your previous 3 m71's exhibited the unlocking problem and 1 did not.

I would try bedding the first inch and a half of the barrel, and three quarters of an inch either side of the front barrel screw. It seems that you may have set up a small amount of preload in your action and barrel. It may be worthwhile playing with screw tension first, and see if that helps. For b...

Paper patching should get the cast gas checked bullet to jacketed bullet velocities without leading.
