    Fireform 6PPC/6Beggs

    I used the powder and wax plugg once at my "beginnings", to form 220R to PPC. I did not like the result at all. I has that feeling of waisting my time at the range. It is time consuming, that is no training. Then I had to spend a hell of a time to clean the wax build up from the barrel. Then...

    Shipping costs:

    I was recently looking for "leupold style" scope ring bases for a Marlin MR7, aka Win 70 post '64 bases. I first look at OpticPlanets, found what I wish for $20 but OP was asking $42 for the cheapest USPS choice. I tried other shops in the US but exporting, even scope bases, is still a no-no...

    Core squirt die - squirt holes position

    Growler, Please note I never squirt a core for the moment, I am at the beginning of my bullet making project. Anyway, I did some homework in digging BRC as deep as I could. Here below is what I gathered. Comments in French are my own mind so, considering my HUGE non-experience in bullet making...

    Notice anything different about this Bat M Action Bolt?

    Wouldn't that be easier to work on the cocking piece itself ? Cut a part of the existing "wing" and weld (Ag or Cu solder ?) another one, then mill sear place and bolt-tool notch, with a little tenon/step at the front considering the effort direction. Notice you can solder a wider, part then...

    N140 Temperature Stability?

    I have been shooting that powder in a 308 Win with 165-175 bullets from -10°C to +40°C, either hunting or LR shooting and did not notice any change in load behaviour.

    Core squirt die - squirt holes position

    Gentlemen, First, let me take this opportunity to say a BIG thank-you to all the people who contributed to the various threads about bullet making among many years. BRC is a true gold mine. From what I have gathered, holes are placed quite near the punch position once the core is...

    220 russion cases

    Butch, No thanks, I do not need any Classic brass. Furthermore I put the PPC on hold at the moment. The batch I purchased had a lot of variations (would I say horrible, but well, I was glad to have SOME brass at that time), so I mused with weight and head thickness , and that appeared to...

    220 russion cases

    Talking about "way back when ..." Do you remember Tom Jensen's "6mm Classic" ? That was at the time we had a complete 220 Russian shortage, no PPC on the market and that gentleman built a business to draw 6 PPC cases. The brass was stamped "6 mm Classic". I suppose "PPC" was somekind...

    Well, I Guess COVID-19 Has Finally Got Marilyn and Me

    Butch, ""Check the deaths, that's the real number to watch."" In Europe, we had many people who died alone at home from ?????. The ""supplementary death count", with regards to "normal" / "usual" death count is considered as cov impact. Not really true either. IMHO, I prefer look at the...

    BANG... oops you're dead

    If I understand correctly, NRA uses 80% of the collected money for it's own operating expanses / running costs, leaving only 20% of the money for its existence purpose, aka actions toward the public / politicians and the firearms /industry /owner. On my side, when a non-profit organisation...

    BANG... oops you're dead

    ... I am in France. I had the chance to learn shooting and to learn the due respect to firearms with my Dad when I was a child, almost 50 years ago. At that time, many people -adults, so called reference for me - were already explaining me that firearm is BAD. At the age of 16 I was a...

    JerrySharrett : Of course they do judge (their own) safety !!!! First Command : Armed individuals could raise a revolution aka firearms among citizens is BAD. And for firearms in the hands of criminals, no problem, the citizen is insured. Leftist Bureaucrats : furthermore, a criminal already is...
