Nice wood. Good luck in your pursuit.

Sometimes the manufacturers do make little changes to color due to batch changes in the coating materials. It's common to see IMR powders grey/black to greenish/grey in color from different lots.

Being a former Ordie and weapons test conductor who did some lot testing for a few years, I always check my powders. They do go bad and ammo gets condemned.
I just pulled down a box of 1960s...

Actually on the back deck last night. Annealed some old 8x56R brass.

I've got the 10th and 11th in Kindle format across all my desktop/laptop/phone. Just requires the free Kindle app on each device. It automatically updates each device when you open it.

I've got the 10th and 11th in

Great post Wolfdog91! I think I would trip over it and hurt myself. You make it look easy to use.

405grain,
Good suggestions. I've did my Wasp on a 98 back in the 1980's and found out about the tab on the follower after visiting Jamsville a few times. I think I also read it in Howe's book. ...

Well, I've always wanted Hi-Vel to come back. Now I have to change from Trailboss in my CAS loads and Clays in the regular pistols and Trap loads. Survived droughts by changing from IMR to...

Just WOW!
Nice work. Looks like an artisan from Louis The 14th's armory made it.
It's nice to know it feeds without rail modifications. Did you use a standard follower?
I've considered barreling...

SASS rules limit velocity for safety with the steel targets being fairly close. Preventing both splash-back and target damage.
Traditional pistol powders can safely be used. People just need to...

It appears to be up and running fine today.

Lots of good info from everyone. Always learning even after shooting Garands for over 40 years.
Thank you OP and contributors.

My condolences to your family. It is always so hard.

Donaldson started with the 219 Zipper case.
Full length size in the Wasp die. Trim, and fireform.

Not really any point in making 219 Zipper from 30-30 etc., then running it into 219 Wasp dies. ...

I've used a Redding Deluxe die set for about 30 years.
Graf and Sons and E Arthur Brown Company (EABCO) sells both short and standard versions of the dies as well as the form die. You will need to...

Deleted all the links.

Deleted due to suspicious links.

I'll second what 405grain states. I've been using AA5744 data for Buffalo Rifle (Lovex D060) and can't see any difference. 308, 30-06, 8x57, 8x56R, 45-70 Use starting load data and work up to a...

+1 20 years with a CZ82 and haven't had a problem with cast.

You already own FALs. What more could you want in a proven bad case scenario rifle?
Like looking for a wife when you're already married to your best friend.

Uh, I tried. Water and horses.
I shot a 308 Garand beginning in the 1980s. I loaded to the requirements of 7.62 in the M14 and M1A. There is data at the CMP forums. You load the same as one...

Ah, I see. You're going to be all prepped.
Yes Sir, the ported plug is not necessary if shooting Cast Boolits or Garand friendly loads. It was originally developed for shooting heavy bullets at...

@DoctorBill, You really should go over to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and ask these things. CMP is everything M1 Garand. They are the current outlet for US Gov surplus rifles. CMP's...

Ithaca Model 49 "Saddlegun" single shot. My first non-BB gun. Looks like a lever action repeater, but it's really a Martini like falling block.
