   Greetings Mimms2, Hodgdon H4895 is AR2206H and has been since the mid 1990's. It is all made in Oz. Same with Trail Boss. You probably remember that AR2206 was used in NZ up to 2000. This was...

   Cordite liked post by grandpamac On thread : Which aperture for a lee enfield No4 mk2

   A taller fore sight will be needed to bring the POI down. Currently the need to aim under the deer is due to the rifle shooting high. Filing the fore sight will just make it shoot higher. Iron sights...

   Greetings Bluebaiter 222, I think you have identified the simplest fix in installing a higher front site but there is another way. You may be able to use hand loads to sight in the rifle. I suspect...

   You need a special die to open up the first part of the neck to seat cast lead. Also shout yourself a copy of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook. Its all in there. Grandpamac.

   Greetings All, Now in Level 2 and a few jobs finished so it was time for an old duffer to go for a short walk in the Kaweka's. A gentleman's hours start saw me walking through a patch of Douglas Fir...

   Kiwi Sapper liked post by grandpamac On thread : ORDER OF ACTIONS IN RE LOADING to be considered.

   Greetings Kiwi Sapper, I think that you have 3 and 4 correct as a lot of the case stretching happens when full length resizing. Also agree that 5 should become 2 as you don't want cruddy cases in...

    Greetings 40 mm, I did a little bit with cast bullets over 40 years ago with limited success (due to my profound ignorance at the time). I am thinking of getting back into it. I still have a couple...
