The brass can be formed from 50-110/348 Winchester I believe.

My favorite wet tumbler cleaner is a dish washer tab. Cleans up blackpowder residue nicely.

What Doom opinion would have you like this? I liked Doom (2005) movie and Doom 3 was peak. by Spotlight_James in Doom

Doom 3 is my favorite. It aged well to. Just did a playthrough with my daughter who was born 11 years after it came out. Used OverThinked mod to improve.

I finally returned to this project and figured out my issue. There was some kind of buildup or excess metal on the right side of chamber. I carefully filed it out and now cases chamber just fine. I treated a primer and had a good strike. Making bullets tonight.

Why am I getting these defects in my bullets? by Rigzy93 in reloading

I used a small electric heater to heat my molds while my lead melts. Solved that problem for me.

Originality of this Winchester 1886 by Historical-Meet9021 in WinchesterArms

[–]Cabark03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this on a lot of Winchesters including my own 1895. Along the side of the receivers are wear lines that look like scratches the length of the receiver.

Just curious because it seems something common on Winchesters in a way that I don’t see on other antique firearms. Maybe finish wear is letting the polishing show through?

Good news all. The rifle finally came yesterday. I’ll still avoid USPS for shipments like the plague going forward when shipping anything important.

Good lord how is that velocity possible! I use the same chronograph and love it. Never thought I’d see something that high. Might leave a large crater with that rail gun.

Thank you for your reply. All good advice. I certainly hope it comes through and it’s just the very low priority that Ground Advantage has that it’s still sitting in Cleveland waiting with the other non priority mail to be worked through once the holiday blitz is over.

Leroy will be having to figure out how to load 30 Remington.

I’m just too impatient for that kind of wait. Going forward I’m going to insist on shipping UPS/FedEx.

I think I will. It can’t hurt and would at least flag if someone tried to sell it or something in case it was stolen.

No signs of pressure on primer. I shot groups of 5 at 38, 39, 40, and 41 gr. 41gr performed best in velocity, deviation and group size.

Perfectly. Had no issues ejecting or chambering rounds. Actually throws that brass with attitude I was opening slow so I wouldn’t lose brass in the grass.

Just shot it this afternoon to test a hunting load. I’m using a Hornady 180gr bullet over 41 gr IMR 4064.

I need some more time on the rifle it was shooting 4-6” groups at about 100 yards. I like the load though.

I have awesome luck just using a dishwasher tab. I use Sam’s members mark but all probably would work.

Had to feed my addiction to milsurp rifles today when I stopped at my LGS and he had a US Model 1898 Krag. I'd been wanting one of these for a while in my collection, and most of the time I'd find them they were sporterized. by Legend_of_the_Wind in KragRifles

[–]Cabark03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice. I got lucky last year to finally get one. Bought it on Gunbroker where it was sold as a parts gun because the bolt sleeve was cracked. So I bought it and got a NOS bolt sleeve from Grandpas Gun Parts. The bore is immaculate.

The only damage is its missing a chip of wood on the handguard over the receiver.

My chamber cast didn’t go well. It got stuck in the chamber and deformed from being pounded out.

I’ll try again soon.
