I shoot a SBE 1 .

I bought my cast bullets from , master cast bullets , Enon valley , PA . the one time I went to pick up bullets , Mike gave me a hand full of ammo he sells to the local LEO's for practice ammo . this was the nicest shooting ammo I ever shot . he gave me the specs , but I've lost track...

you can call me a sissy , but the 3-1/2" 12 gauge loads are all I want . I never shot more than the 2 1/4 oz heavy shot loads from " nitro company " . never felt the need to punish myself any more , so I never tried the heavier charge .

I'm assuming a 45ACP in a 1911 ? I'm not sure how low you can go with bullseye and have reliable function .you can always change the recoil spring to get lighter loads to function . I bought a set of wolf springs for tuning . must be about 10 different weight springs in the set . when I...

I'm sure the Garmin chrony has put the resale value of the labradar in the give it away column . I'll keep using the labradar until it quits , instead of spending another bunch of money on a Garmin and putting the labradar on the shelf . labradar now sells a high mount . to place over...

I wonder if midwayusa , could tell you what the Tubbs spring fits ?

my rifles with a brake I position the labradar over the front of the scope . my rifles without brakes I position the labradar over the muzzle . I have a pic in this thread I linked to . this rifle has a brake . since I've been using this set up , the labradar seldom misses a shot ...

I did a quick search and found you a few links . I'm not sure if these springs fit the FN's , so check it out before you buy . you should be able to get phone numbers for these vendors , off there website . https://www.midwayusa.com/product/3415312629...

try the standard die , nothing to lose by trying it . back to the bushing die . I'd next try it without a bushing . if the runout is good , I'd try it with a bigger bushing . if runout is good , I'd try putting the correct bushing in .

contact Winchester , I'd say they will replace them .

Mark , what is the runout on a fired case , before you do anything to it ?

PA is using a liquid salt brine , to pretreat the roads before a snow hits . then they use the typical salt / antiskid during the storms . the brine is mean stuff , it creeps . it gets inside of everything .it seems nothing is sealed good enough to keep it out .

Mark , great , that's what I hoped for ,you're checking after each step. if this is a bushing die ; when you shake the die can you hear the bushing move ? the bushing should be free to move . try flipping the bushing over , to see if that helps . how much are you down sizing the...

I'm not sure about you other guys , I live in a bad rust area . heavy use of road salt just kills the local vehicles . trying to keep an older vehicle going mechanically is not too hard . trying to keep ahead of the rust is tough .

I'm not sure what the set up is on these Henry's . watch the picatinny mounting screw length . I've ran into screws that were a touch too long and bottomed out before clamping tight against the base . the easy way to check this is to put one screw in at a time , snug up that screw and...
