Where in the world can I find small rifle primers??
50Caliber replied to AZElkhntr's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
there are a number of reloading company's in fla. that has them in stock -
see murphy's law what will go wrong will go wrong at the most wrong time. Has not happen yet and as above knock on wood but since you stated powder jammed up the works will try to remember to carry a can of air to blow out the action
-
well so far has not happened yet knock on wood. but if it does ether use a skinny stick if in woods hunting or at range use the cleaning rod to knock out the slug. and yes I know the some full size and swear by it and some neck size for their rounds fired out of their bolt action rifles. But doubt it will happen pretty much double check every step from the sizing die to crimp But Murphy's law rules

I have one a howa 1500 changed the barrel to 28 inches long 1-9 3/4 twist likes the 225 sstbp mag primer 72 grains h4831sc does wonders upto 1800 meters with a 300 hpbt mag primer 78 grains of h4831sc almost does the same as the 225 I neck size only and the bullets engage the rifling then the case slides up. had no problem with overpressure the kick not bad well not as bad has my 460 whby

on your first time read the directions 2 to 6 times then do a few dry runs then take your time do not rush. I have done a number of ar 15/10 also 1911s always use the metal 80% for the ar 80% al. is fine when I do the 1911s I use the harden steel 80%. Enjoy and have fun

50Caliber replied to nw07heavy's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
cfe blk 40 grains to 48 grains 500 slug 1400 to1650 psi 36,700 to 51,100 psi a nice flame thrower and yes it does kick as for the 45-70 pistol load no help there about all I can say is cut the rifle load down a tad till your comfy -
the 180 to 190 do fine from 500 to 1000 as far as the 200/to 210 I said reasonable that is why the barrel I have with the 1-11 is in a corner and I installed one with the 1-8
-
no doubt
-
I believe we all do that when a big one hangs around
-
you will see the difference between the 200 and the 185 the 180 will do better with the 1-8 twist the 185 maybe the 200 with the 1-11 reasonable it also depends on the distance your shooting also. the berger and nosler are good factory rounds the loading is fairly decent as for the hornady not shabby and priced reasonable enjoy

257 Weatherby lives again!!!
50Caliber replied to Hoss50's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
the carbon wrapped barrel is a good idea but one thing to remember do not shoot over 3 rounds a minute it retains heat and takes longer to cool off. This is from experience I ordered two barrels 28 inches long one wrapped in carbon the other a heavy target both in 6.5x55 with a 1-8 twist test fired both doing 5 rounds a minute the wrapped barrel kept the heat and caused problems the other unwrapped barrel heated up but cooled enough to keep shooting and do decent groups. The wrapped barrel is good for light target shooting and hunting you will like it -
good round and good rifle I shoot a Howa 1500 300wm 26 inch barrel with a 1-8 twist the 180 grain spbt handles great and good groups but it shines with the 200grain have gotten 2 inch groups at 1500 with the 200 grain hpbt slugs. But I reload never much liked factory loads prefer to tailor my loads to what I shoot. My choice the 1-11 slow twist but should handle the 190 spbt reasonable

A3 Golden Boy Jed Larson Convicted of Poaching
50Caliber replied to NoBull350's topic in The Campfire
after reading the whole 27 pages some was so funny and a few almost made the coffee snorter status. But to make it easy for all a poacher steals from all no ifs ans or buts. I have hunted in 12 different countries thru out the years. At a game park somewhere in Africa we had a answer to poachers all poachers got the same treatment left laying down not able to get back up white or black made no difference to us. The poaching has slowed down a lot there. -
