I’ve got several boxes of various cup and core bullets $8-$12 per 100.

Both my H&H like the 220gr Sierra RN. Best looking cartridge/bullet combination ever. At home from Alaska to Africa😄

I don’t think it makes much sense with the cleaning products available today. If it loses accuracy due to fouling, stuff like Bore Tech or Wipe Out/Patch Out really does a good job and with not a lot of effort. I don’t buy into the 8000 rounds between cleanings, however I don’t worry about...

Yes. They work well.

In my experience with Hammers, the faster the better. Both in accuracy and expansion. They don’t work like lead core bullets. That 282gr may be a bit too much bullet in 338-06. I use the 186gr Shock Hammer in my 338 Federal. 2750 is reasonable in it and extremely accurate. Close to...

About 34. Good hits on the primers. I believe a couple others here nailed it…

This must be the answer. Thanks all.

Yes. 5/16-36 tap and the proper drill. Getting it perfectly centered to the gnats behind isn’t critical. A good bit is going to follow the primer hole.

I saw a fresh box of .264 Partitions 140gr at Sportmans. Seemed like $70 per 50. Dang.

Thank you BruceP. I always heard and assumed it was an automatic stuck bullet, maybe it is with a pistol. Someone else mentioned neck tension. I suspect plenty considering I’m just using standard FL dies and no neck turning. Thanks all.

My old man loaded Accurate 7 instead of Reloder 7 in a 45/70 Marlin Guide. It split the receiver in two along the holes for the scope mounts and sent the barrel forward about 10 feet. Is was not a loud explosion, just a very soft pop. I was there. It did absolutely nothing to him. Talk...

When I pulled the bullets in the cases I tried to fire, the bases of the bullets were smoky. The remaining 2 that I did not try to fire were clean. That tells me that the primers did ignite. But no report and no bullet movement. None. I decapped the 2 live primers. In retrospect I should...

I’m with you fellas. I’ve fire formed, with toilet paper and pistol powder, and popped primers in empty cases. They always make a sharp report. Hence my confusion. I certainly would have checked the bore had the bullet not still been in the case. It was obvious something wasn’t right. I...

Today I was testing a load in my 6x45. First round, click. Wait 30 seconds, eject. Solid hit on the primer. Figured I finally made a dud. Ejected, bullet still in the case, just a dented primer. Second round, click. Same. What the heck? Third round, click. OK, that’s it. Moved to a...

Always been skeptical of sending lapping compound down the bore at high pressure. The results seem to speak for themselves in this post however. Thanks for the reports.

Some gloves, a new game cleaning table, and finished up the snowplowing I didn’t get done the day before. Then watched the Broncos get crushed.

I got some impressive velocity out of heavy bullets in 30-06 with it.

Just to close this out for someone who might hit on this from a search. Replaced the extractor, extractor plunger, and spring. Significant wear on the extractor when the 2 compared. Solved the problem. I am at a loss as to how the extractor could be so worn and not be a smooth bore, yet it...

A simple switch barrel is a way to do what you want. Get a receiver with an integral recoil lug or have it pinned if it’s not. A very simple barrel vice and an action wrench and you’re set. We used to switch barrels all the time at benchrest matches. I have several sporting rifles setup the...
