I had been thinking to use an electric soldering iron applied to the primer before trying to dig them out, a candle may well be simpler & shouldn't get them hot enough to soften the case head. Now...

If you can dig them out. I got some of these as range pick ups & my usual chisel the primer out with a pick made from a Ramset nail just lead to manged anvils, kinda like they're stuck in with some...

I did some 257 Robts case from .270 cases years ago, found I had to neck ream them as there was quite a bit of thickening at the base of the neck where the .270 shoulder was swaged into the .257...

I had some Nobels 80 that I used with cast bullets in a .303, it was a good bulky powder so no chance of a double charge, no idea off the top of my head what load I used, about 10grs rings a bell but...

Not so fast, as shooternz has said below your post, it can happen in loaded ammo too. I was interested to find out it was N160 that did this to you, years back, I had a couple of plastic 2 litre...

I may be one of the lucky ones, I have some age related short sightedness & went to Spec Savers for something a bit better than the hobby glasses I was wearing, got bifocals rather than progs but to...

Probably much the same info as here.

Fwiw, I reckon Oldbloke is on the money, push the primers out with a depriming die, there was a thread on this quite recently, well a wee while ago anyway. Very doable & the primers should be able...

It's a sad fact that the advent of battery disc grinders with skinny cut off discs has rendered pretty much any security ineffective, short of something so massive as to be prohibitively expensive,...

I was interested to read the differences in case dimensions in the Saubier link. The BSA Hunter short action I had in Hornet years back never shot worth a damn & the cases were always bulged out to...

Trademe want my licence number to just ask a question on an auction. :(

That would have been quite a few severals I think, he pranged the XIV in 1996 & didn't fly again afaik. I don't think I'm being unfair to describe Sir Tim as a bit of a larrikin, it was the way he...

It was Sako mounts that tapered front to back. In the days before the like of Kimber were available & Brno mounts were unobtainable, I ground the taper off the locking clamps on a set of Sako mounts...

Lee make double ball molds in .311 & .319. I've got one in .311 for doing 00 (?) buckshot loads. Easy to load 9 into a shot cup. I think I bought it from Reloaders, not sure where you'd get them now...

Early RCBS dies had a similar locking set up. I found that the lead would make adjustment difficult even with the grub screw backed out a bit but then twigged to giving the lock ring a smart tap with...

I reformed some 270 Win Norma cases into 257 Robts cases years ago in one pass using RCBS 257 Robts full length sizing dies. My lube of choice was Kiwi nugget neutral shoe polish & they all formed in...

Gary's offer sounds like a good'un, but, if it doesn't work out, getting some 1" rings reamed out by someone with an adjustable reamer as mentioned by NO4 above is certainly doable but take care not...

Now withdrawn by seller but photos out of the plastic, though not full length. Can't see it myself. :wtfsmilie:

What barrel & what action are we talking here, I'm wondering P-14 for a barrel, but action is pretty open?

As you've no doubt worked out, the 1909 has a standard length bolt which is why they were so in demand in the day to build custom sporters on. I never did get around to doing that with mine. :(

I knew Chas years ago, though not seen him for ages now, we live at opposite ends of the island. I always thought he was one of the clearest thinkers I've ever come across & a man of amazing passion...

What barrel & what action are we talking here, I'm wondering P-14 for a barrel, but action is pretty open?

I've done the same thing without any hassles, wore leather gloves & a leather apron I used to use for hay making plus of course safety specs. Never had a commercial one go off on me but like zimmer a...

Sounds like it. My licence is up for renewal toward the end of 2025, but there are a number of rifles I'd like to quit before then so guess I'll have to suck it up some time but not before the...

They make the old 4 litre oil container with the handle & hole cut off tipped upside down over my Lyman Orange Crusher look a bit poor relly. :D
