Oh man, 450grain bullet at 2400fps. That smokeless load is vigorous ... maybe a bit hot.

This is what makes that new Ruger attractive. AR-15 size but in 308. Yes, the interchangeability in the AR-10 world is awful. You have to be very careful about what lower you get to match up with mags and uppers. Way more research than the AR-15. There's way too much DPMS based junk out there. I wis...

OMG, I can turn a single six into a bird's head grip frame? I'm loving these ... bookmarked.

The flatside is lighter and balances a little farther forward than the later model because of the lighter receiver. That's interesting. I had assumed the later 95's were scalloped in order to reduce the weight of the receiver in areas where the strength was less critical. You're saying the earlier ...

What's the advantage of powder coating ... other than some cool color coding for testing. Does the powder coating suffice to replace normal tumble lube?

Rimfire McNutjob

How does wet tumbling compare to the heated ultrasonics? Same clean for lower cost? Even cleaner perhaps?

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm kind of astounded that gun is only $1100 in both 16" and 20".

Rimfire McNutjob

Beautiful rifle. I love 22's. Now you'll need the period scope ... maybe snag a Unertl.

I though it looked odd but I couldn't put my finger on it. That's it though ... where did the latch go. Nice catch.

An 1895 in .35 Win is on my list. I'm not actively looking, but if I stumbled into one I would probably grab it. I think @Sixgun on the forums here last took one to CO for Elk some years back. It's not the glamorous .405 Win, but it's the solid heavy hitter that the regular guy would choose. Versus,...

The powders I expect to use are Hodgdon Lil'Gun and Alliant 300 MP. They act about the same. Both are extremely good in the 22 Hornet from what I am reading. I agree, these are likely the best choices for the 22WMR. I've done a small bit of reloading using Lil'Gun in the 5mm Remington Magnum with B...

I've always been fascinated by the Merlin & Hulberts. How do they shoot though? I've heard talk of extraction issues due to their tight tolerances. I do love the shorter barrel skull crusher versions.

Power came back for me late on Friday evening. I had one large pine tree branch fall into the fire pit which my chainsaw will dismember so I can burn it in place. Otherwise, just fine. The lake is up about 3 feet though.

Did you lose anything or get any of the flooding?

As to generators, it amazes me that they need a specific battery. Pretty much any battery of appropriate voltage and enough amps will start them. Funny how folks think you need the exact battery. As an example, my neighbors truck battery was dead. I ask why hed didn’t just yank his boat battery and...

Rimfire McNutjob

Well, here it comes. The track has it plowing through my neck of the woods. I went to check the generator and it wouldn't turn over ... just clicked. Panic set in as I recalled the reason I have one of these stationary generators ... air-conditioning leading to a happy marriage. Lack of a comfortabl...

In 22 Mag, I like the HK-300. I bought several 20 round mags long ago and several spare extractors and a spare buffer. Should shoot just about forever.

Rimfire McNutjob

Well, yes, it's definitely easier to clean the barrel. But mine is a takedown to swap between substantially different calibers ... 348 WCF and 450 Alaskan.

Can I ask which two old Rifle editions you were looking for? I think #32 had a Winchester 71 article, but I'm not sure which of the others did.

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm kind of surprised how impacted Alliant powders have been. Not sure if it's import related ... can't get what they need from Bofors, etc. I haven't even been looking at primers but now that you mention it, those are like hens teeth lately. Seems like we go through this every 10 years or so. Oh wo...

If I run this in QuickLoad using the Speer 300gr JSP (#4463) with a COAL of 1.61", using 18gr of ADI 2207 (99% case capacity), from a 20" barrel I get 1180fps and 16.8kpsi peak pressure with only 73% burn efficiency ... lots of unburned powder at barrel exit. Not a great powder for this bu...

Rimfire McNutjob

The stuff he lists in .458" is a bit heavy for me. Nothing 350 - 450gr. Still, I'll keep an eye on his site.

Disconnector not catching.

Happy Birthday. Seems the sun is back out this afternoon down here. Maybe some fishing or shooting for you today.

I own an AR15, which even my gun friends chuckle about since almost every other rifle I own is an antique single shot. But I bought it simply because I have the right to own it. It probably hasn't seen more than a couple boxes of ammo through it in almost 5 yrs. I've owned it. Doesn't interest me m...

Did Helmut finally add 300MP to QuickLoad? If so, I'll need to update. I've not updated in many years due to a lack of those newer Alliant powders. The current version of Quick Load offers the following Alliant powders: ... Did you realize that you answered this one question four times in this thre...

I've been on the Freestyle Libre for about forever. It's really helpful. It does tend to read a bit low when sugars get low. For example, last night it said 41 but I didn't feel like I was that low. The finger stick said 62. Still low, but not the shaking and sweat inducing low that a true 41 would ...

I had a surgery go bad once and woke up from an induced coma about 3 weeks later. They had written "CTD" on my chart. Later I learned that stood for "Circling the Drain". Good to have you back.

I've always wanted a Ruger No.1 in 220 Swift but not in the varmint configuration. Over the last 20 years so far all I've managed to do is collect the proper trigger ... a Canjar single set. Slow going for me. Not sure I'll have what I want before I kick off at this rate. I'm loving the sweep of you...

Is that a semi-balloon head?

I thought a full balloon head actually had a folded rim with powder space there as well. I'm a bit too young to have ever opened one up though.

Really enjoyed the videos.

Rimfire McNutjob

Will be interesting to see where this lands for you.

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm wondering if something like that can be simulated/estimated in QuickLoad by someone on the forum. I'm also wondering if 300MP might not be the ideal powder for that case and capacity ... though many of the newer Alliant powders are not characterized for QuickLoad. I believe it's an Alliant issue...

It was pretty quiet ... landing on Easter this year. I got left alone to do hobby stuff until it was dinner time. Cooked dinner for myself and the family. Got some books (actual paper) and other trinkets. Nice slow birthday.

I love the look of a bird's head SAA with a short barrel. I'm not sure what that is exactly though ... a Ruger of some type? I'm not super SAA literate.

Rimfire McNutjob

I didn't realize the Marlin requires such a shortened version of the AK. I was thinking the round on the left was closer to my 2.75" that my 71 eats.

Rimfire McNutjob

The COAL looks far longer than the 450AK next to it. My AK loads to about 2.75", and I think the '86 will handle 2.88" or slightly more. Perhaps it will go farther ... but those look WAY long.

Rimfire McNutjob

I'm diabetic and had something similar. I used this Promogran Prisma Ag on it and it slowly filled in. Took months.

Rimfire McNutjob

It will be interesting to see if that conversion is possible. The 450 AK's rim is 80+ thousandths larger in diameter.

He may have too much free time on his hands. Nice ad for High Point though.

Rim, I believe the newer Alliant powders are all there. Looking at the powder data base now. The reason 300 MP is not, is something about its chemical composition that defies the Quick Load algorithm... I had hoped 300MP would show up in QL and that it could then be compared to old Norma R123. I've...

Just some QuickLoad data. ... I really wish Alliant would give the QuickLoad guy the data he needs to include their newer powders. It's been years now that they've been out, 300MP for example, but they are still not in QuickLoad. I think that Barnes TSX extends a bit farther into the case, compared...

I have the RCBS 450AK dies. Work fine for me. Not sure where you'd get them these days though.

This is my case exactly.

You know, I think I may be needing to turn my case necks, also. How did you turn your case necks down? Do you have a lathe, or do you use another method? I bought the little Forster hand tool for it. It's quick work. You need to get the right mandrel/pilot for .458 cal when you order. My necks were...

My inexpensive shooting load (well, less expensive anyway) was the Speer Hot-Cor #2478 (350 grain JFP) over 66 grains of IMR 3031 lit by a WLR primer. I would final crimp with a Lee FCD that was made up specifically for the 450 AK. I'll have to look up the particulars but I think COAL was 2.78"...

I had one once. A WWII issue 1911 that was my fathers. It turned out, the thumb safety was broken. I was pointing it, loaded, at a baseboard with the safety on and pulled the trigger. Much to my surprise, it punched a nice hole in the baseboard. I was lucky to be practicing one of those golden rules...
