17 Fireball and 17 Remington are not the same. Check Grafs I saw some there recently.

Hodgedon LiL Gun and AA1680 have both worked well for me with Hornady 60g. flat point and Winchester 75g flat point. Flat points are needed in a lever rifle with tube magazine. Both of these powders give a good fill ratio as compared to Win 296, 4227. AA1680 being a better choice for the heavier 75 grain bullets. In a bolt gun things will work differently but be aware that most of the older bolt guns are rear lug.

Is the handle removable? What condition? Twenty inch HBar? Box and paperwork? When Joe takes over it'll be worth twice what it's worth now. LOL

I'm wondering if someone installed a small diameter firing pin (.062") in that bolt. That would really aggravate the situation instead of making it better.

you guys been smokin the funny stuff? This ad is from 2015, hee, ho, ho, LOL

I've got two 250 count packs same lot number., 500 count total. Will trade for 2K primers CCI or Federal current manufacture or within the last 5 years. I'm in Tucson.

Yep what stomp says. Use large rifle primer pocket brass. That primer flowed into the firing pin hole. If this is new brass it will have excess headspace to begin with. Once fire formed to your chamber it will be a better fit. I hope you're not starting load work until you have fireformed brass first so I'm assuming this has been fire formed.

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.

A popsicle stick with 400 grit wet or dry sand paper should smooth that down.

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!

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.

I've got a 4.5X14X40 VX3. Matte finish, CDS finger adjustable turrets, fine duplex, one inch tube, adjustable objective. Super clean scope in like new condition. I think I have box and sun shade but I'll have to check. PM me for more details.

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

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.
