Shooting buddy gifted me with a four cavity NOE 368-285-W3 mold. I did realize how my project moved in geological time until I revisited this thread. The bullets look good in the first batch. I'm...

The FN based 9.3x57 has been set back until I can find somebody new to work on my rifles. I have not done much with the other Husqvarna 9.3. It's good to go as is. My brass made from PPU 8x57 works...

Let me share my experience. I was forming 256 Newton cases from 270 Remington and Winchester once fired brass. I was using Imperial Sizing die wax. This was a horror story, I was dealing with stuck...

I'd say most of the reloaders I know have a stuck case remover. A stuck case, to me, means something not being right. Anybody that's done some heavy duty case forming has a different attitude about...

My experience with tumbling cast bullets from a Glock came in 357 SIG caliber. The source of the problem had to do with bullets. Bullets were stripping in the rifling giving keyholes. Next batch of...

I realize shooting some of the less commonly used calibers makes one a scrounger. What looked like cheap 300 WSM was not. The bad news was stuff came from a brand that is notorious for loose primers...

Thanks. Range brass is great. On the downside I recall in a gun rag many years ago a guy had reloaded some brass that came from the fire barrel.
KB'd a SAKO. Attempts to hang that on the Finns for...

I missed the mark on making the question. The cases appear as if abraded....tumbled in rocks. How did the did the case get mashed.

What happened to those cases?

OK, this afternoon some 270 Winchester rounds were put together using the 140gr. Hornady SST bullets and Alliant 4000-MR powder. This will be the second loading for the nickel plated WW brass. I...

The lasted of my 9.3x57's has an altered FN commercial action. The bolt handle has been modified and the stock shortened. The only serious change here was have made is the addition of a recoil pad to...

I have a new ProChrono chronograph to try out. Efforts to get a Caldwell going went no place. It took five minutes to get this machine connected to the phone.

I had made a run of 8mm Mauser for...

This is kinda simple. I neck size then run loaded rounds through the magazine before setting out to wherever. Why not the just neck sized cases? I want to make sure there was no bobble in the bullet...

4350 and Slower for 270 Winchester. I suggest thinking of a more appropriate power rather than what I got. That goes 24/7 with me.

The Lee Collet dies work very well. There was much on the net about modifying these dies when first introduced. I had two sets of 35 RCBS Whelen dies for custom made rifles.Chambers are different...

I have been playing the idea of no expander ball with separate neck expansion. For me, it would be best to use a tapered expander ball. That would be like Hornady and RCBS use currently.

I've got...

I had great results with H4895 and the 210 Swift bullets in my TC3 The brass was reformed Federal 308. My load was moderate with 43 grs. I stopped there because it was necessary to save up for more...

Most of my varminting was done with a built up Mauser. The barrel was a 1:12 Douglas #5 weight barrel. Actual chronographed performance had a 75 gr. Hornady at 3500 fps. The expansion was truly...

Sometimes the way rounds got named is crazy making. The 256 is the bore diameter not the groove diameter. Like the English people speak of a 256 Mannlicher. We call the cartridge 6.5x 54 Mannlicher. ...

I used 100 gr, bullets in my Number One B 257 Roberts caliber rifle. Those guns were slandered for having a very long throat. Actually, the guns were not made as dual purpose guns. The 100gr. bullets...

A 256 Newton rifle: I don't know how to post pictures here-still being back in the last century is sometimes awkward.. This rifle was on the "bucket list" The rifle was built up by two local...

Today: We did some work on the Mauser based 256 Newton. We may have a scope malfunction. Plans are to make two more small batches of test reloads. Right now sure likes like the problem is on the...

My Hornady dies are working very well for 9.3x57. I've got both Husqvarna rifles shooting with decent results. The most recent loads were made up with IMR4064. My dies were a gift. I have no idea...

I did get the 700 Mountain Rifle running. The major triumph did come at the bench. I had been using Imperial wax to size the Winchester plated brass. It was very hard to size on the best day. Swapped...

This past week I got back into reloading for rifles. I made up some loads for my old 700 SPS in 7mm-08. Recent loading has been with Shooters World Precision Rifle powder and some Speer 130 gr. flat...
