Would this idea work to clear a jammed cylinder from a loose primer pocket? Put an appropriate sized rod down the barrel till it hits the bottom of the case then give it some taps with a hammer? ...

Garands were originally loaded with H4895 in WWII and are happiest with burn rates from BLC (2) to IMR-4064. H335 should work but a better option would be Accurate 2520. It is known as Camp Perry...

Good eye. I thought the handle looked intact so disregard my comment. Except for the part about round stacked leather being a pain to get right.

Who made the blade and what are the markings? Vintage knives are highly collectible so unless the grips are cracked or missing I would just clean up the blade and enjoy it. Besides, I like the...

The gas plug vents some of the gas but the bolt still comes back hard when firing a grenade. There is no way I know of to lock the action shut. The newer gas plug with the poppet valve had a...

The Lee 405 is a good bullet and I shot a lot of them in an original trapdoor and a long barreled Handi rifle. I never used pure lead but have no problems with a BHN ~10 bullet, sized, and with a...

Generally if you have a newer frame you want barrels that have the split locking lug. The solid ones can give you problems opening.

The best place to determine values is looking at Ebay sold...

No. And don't. 2400 is now a precious powder that hasn't been available for years so save it for something more appropriate like high end pistols or 22 hornets. Use the rifle powders with the...

Oh the horror...... While the instant gravies are more popular now I was lucky enough to grow up down south where you watched your grandmother make gravy as a kid. But it does seem to be a lost...

Next time try taking out the meat and adding the flour to the oil while stirring to make a roux. Then add milk, stir, and add the meat back. This will stop the flour from clumping and making lumps...

You can use any brand. Just taste the gravy when it is done and add whatever spice you like. I usually add more sage and lots of black pepper.

And I always add one bay leaf to every type of...

About 40 years ago I was fishing in a canal for small catfish under 12 inches (we liked to cut off the head and fry them whole in Georgia). I was doing pretty good but then caught a 2 foot carp. ...

Contender barrel prices skyrocketed in the last few years and that barrel at $350 would be a deal. SSK makes some excellent custom barrels. Not sure if the barrel the OP is cheaper but who made...

Be-86 has a slower burn rate than unique and is slower than Herco. I can assume when people say you can use Unique data it is because it is a slower powder and you are unlikely to get into trouble...

There are millions of Garands in use for over 80 years and they shot countless billions of rounds of ammo without a problem. While there are reports of hot loads with a heavy bullet bending the...

Unless you want to deal with a $500 custom barrel and unobtainium brass what is wrong with the 30-30? Used contender barrels will be much cheaper and it works great for cast. If you don't mind...

Sounds like a waste of IMR-4831. Why burn 40 grains of powder when you can use 1/2 or less of a more appropriate powder.

Last I checked IMR-4831 was out of stock everywhere and going for $70 a...

There is very little difference (if any) energy wise between a small pistol magnum and small rifle primers. I doubt substituting a rifle primer suddenly over pressured a moderate load. The only...

Do not modify your gas plug. It is probably original WWII and it goes for a premium. The adjustable gas plugs are a gimmick and not needed.

And stop worrying about ammo. These are not fragile...

Look up some Chinese recipes where it is steamed whole. It is considered a delicacy there. The Chinese have many other ways to cook it and carp is also popular in Eastern Europe so look up some...

Sold out............

I am just speculating on the calcium but whatever happened gave a thick dross when the one "contaminated" vial was added and fluxing didn't help. I believe if an alloy just has calcium it casts OK...

The dross was the calcium / antimony intermetallic. IIRC correctly once it was removed the lead behaved normally when remelted but it will be a little softer since you also removed some antimony. ...

It wasn't long ago when every powder company made their own nitrocellulose and most were located close to big plants that made nitric acid to reduce shipping hazards. Like everything else companies...
