Contact the your state Bar Association. They can consult free of charge and recommend a lawyer in your area.

That's a one brick of 1K limit. Not a case which is 5K. And they were gone this afternoon!

thanks for posting that. I think that's a very credible video and it also answers what's happening to primers and powder.

Will this affect my accuracy??
L Cazador replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
A popsicle stick with 400 grit wet or dry sand paper should smooth that down. -
Will this affect my accuracy??
L Cazador replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
The fact is there are very few repeaters that don't do that. I think it will not affect accuracy. There's probably a sharp edge some where on the feed ramp or magazine. If you can find it, smooth it down. -
The video is on You Tube. Video is about 48 minutes too long, LOL!

Wtb 6.5 x 52 carcano reloading components
L Cazador replied to bowhunter-tw's topic in Classified Ads
Hornady makes ammo and .267" diameter bullets for the Carcano. FYI -
To be announced tomorrow. Looks like a shortened 300 PRC or 28 Nosler with 30 degree shoulder. Probably 140's at 3000-3100fps mark. Nothing that hasn't been done before. I'm sure it can't be better than the 6.5 Creedmoor, that does 'everything" !!! LOL!!

I think the only way to contact them is by walking in. Their phone is constant busy and the web site is down.

Ballistic Products Inc. has the buffer, buckshot, and a great manual specific to buck shot reloading. Forgot to mention that manual.

PM me if you need further help.

Loading buckshot is a bit more complicated than regular shot. Here's some basic info for loading buckshot. I've been reloading with buckshot for the last 40 plus years. You will need a buffer if you want to shoot a good even pattern. The buffer also prevents shot deformation. Damaged or flattened shot doesn't fly as far, as long, or as straight as round shot. Ballistic products makes a buffer #47. You will also need a reloading scale to weigh the pellets and the buffer. A 1 1/2 oz. load should weight 1 1/2oz with buffer and pellets. You'll have to fill a wad with pellets and buffer and then weigh it. Choose a 3 or 4 petal wad to keep the shot together as long as possible for maximum range. It also offers more protection for the shot than a multi petal wad like a Windjammer. Hopefully your shotgun has a modified choke which is the best choke for buckshot. You'll need a shotgun reloading manual to find the load that works for your components. Here's some info on the number of buckshot per ounce. Triple OOO 6 pellets per ounce, OO 8 per ounce, and O 9 per ounce. Lyman makes a great shotgun reloading manual.

If you're here in Tucson, I'll take the bullets and primers.

Question about Berger Hybrids
L Cazador replied to maximus's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Lance left a very important piece of info out. The Hybrids, target or hunting bullets, are a bit better suited for shooting in a factory rifle. Berger designed the bullet for a long jump into the rifleing from a magazine length cartridge. I would disagree that the secant ogive is easier to tune over a tangent ogive in a custom chamber. So if you have a factory rifle shoot the Hybrids! -
Throw away the powder keep the cans. You can fertilize your trees with it. Cans are collectible. And the most important question and is always left out when somebody lists something here is: where are located, LOL!

Use Bore tech C4 to get that powder fouling out. The fouling buries itself in the machine marks in the barrel. It'll take 20 or so patches. Mine actually started shooting better after a hundred rounds. I bore scoped the barrel when I bought it and I sure didn't think it would be a shooter. It's actually gotten smoother after a hundred rounds. Don't forget to clean the chamber ring.
-
That's a heck of deal when you count the rebate! I bought one last year and it's a shooter. Pillar bed the stock and float the barrel, it'll improve the way it shoots. Also I installed a Jewell trigger to replace the factory. You can't get more than 20 rounds down the bore without having to give it a good cleaning but that's pretty much the case with all factory barrels. They can shoot good you just have to clean more often. By the way are you sure that's primed Lapua brass? Just checked that's a Bruno special. It's going to go fast.

Gees, I became old since you first posted the original post. Is that correct??? 2016??? You'll have to bait that coues into 100 yards range to put him down with that 38-55. I had a friend shoot one in head at 250 yards it gave him an oweey! When he woke up he had an egg the size of a grapefruit on his head. And no he wasn't aiming at his head.LOL !!!

How much do I need to buy to get it free, LOL, LOL???

Go to MidwayUSA.com they have Vortex Viper HS 30mm scope 6-24 for $399. New! Free shipping this weekend.

Check Brownells. They still had some for $380 not long ago in single shot or repeater version. You're best off buying a complete rifle for your project. You can sell stock, barrel, trigger, and bottom metal if you not going to use it. Also check Pacific Tool & gauge. They have some completely trued and blue printed actions. Dave Kiff is a great guy to deal with.

I picked up some free old powder
L Cazador replied to ctafoya's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Some of that powder may have been recalled. So it's best to check lot numbers and email the company. I think AA 2495 has been recently recalled. If it doesn't have the smell of ether it has probably already started to decompose. If you get a brown vapor after opening it's gone and could be used for fertilizer. The cans are probably more valuable to collectors than the powder is. Some of those cans go back to the early 60's. Using any of it for reloading is an experience. It doesn't look like it was stored properly so pressure swings could go both ways up or way down. It's amazing what we had to work with back in the day. The Thunderbird powder brings back some great memories. -
For ground swatting 6's are great but there isn't much meat left for the skillet, LOL! Number 8's place a good concentration of shot in a 30 inch circle and don't cook the bird in the process. Late season shots with 7 1/2 at 50 yards are great ground swatting rounds and will leave enough meat for the a good meal!!
