My SMLE No 1 mk3 is so smooth. My late father said it was as smooth as a 1960's Yashica camera.

Thanks omark, I'll try these as a supersonic load. How do you find leading? A full 296 load would have them steaming! :D

Hi Bill999, yes I read about various crimps. These will be low recoiling ammo so I guess a lighter crimp might be the way to go? What worked for you and what sort of results were you achieving?

Thanks shooternz. I've tried but yet to shoot a incremental loads as mentioned above with the AP70 but have also created a small ladder of APS450. That'll be interesting to try as well. I love the...

Thanks Ftx325, yes all info like that helps. Nice rifle you have there too. I would have got one if I found one in .357mag. Apparently a very popular cal.

Hello guys, I just bought a Marlin .357 and put a DPT suppressor on it.

All my shooting is plinking at the range so the key is accuracy.

I also bought a Lee 358-150-1R mould and cast off a...

Hi Bushline, it's a DPT 35cal can which has an outer diameter of 43mm. I haven't shot it with open sights yet but looking at it, you can see foresight looking over the can. I'm going to use either my...

Marlin Dark Series .38/.357. This this is so fun.

Thanks earars, thought as much. Crazy law created by crazy muppets!

Thanks aetchell, will check that out now!

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know if there are restrictions on importing a mount from the States? I've been talking to the manufacturer and he said he sends them here all the time.

Cheers

Hi Sideshow, hope these show clear enough the lugs.

Winchester 1892 .44 (Miroku), I like it a lot!

I looked into these. Doesn’t seem to be any gear available to lube and seat them so went basic. Also I’m not intending to go high velocity. Just around the 1000fps mark.

Just saw that in a YT vid! I saw another on what contaminated lead zinc looks like. Not a pretty thing!

Awesome cheers, I have been scrolling though that site. It’s excellent. Also just watched a couple of YouTube videos explaining the zinc ‘tink’. I’m getting excited. Going to get some muffin dishes...

Wow that’s awesome! Thanks for the great info and the offer of some ingots. I’m happy to give some cash so your not out of pocket. I’ll PM you when I get home from my work trip (Sat afternoon). How...

Hi ihmsakiwi, I’m in Pukekohe.

Thanks Marty Henry. Maybe I should get a hardness tester too. Yes I suspect this is going to be an interesting journey! �� I just want to avoid leading my new Winchester hence bringing the hardness...

Thanks Mauser, I’ll check out TM for tin powder. I guess wheel shops would sell old wheel weights too. Just hope it’s pure lead and not some weird concoction that will ruin a good batch.

Hello casters,

I’m new to casting and bought a Lee casting pot (the bigger one) and a .44 die, gloves etc and have used up my first 4.5 kg of Lyman #2. I was hoping to go next level and make my...

Seating/crimp die combo adjustment out? crimping before reached seating depth? Had that happen with .44 and buckled case but not sure how possible it is with rifle loading.

Agreed, seems hardly any .22LR's have bolt hold opens. Don't know why?

Thanks mate. 23 grs of 2205 is very similar to W296/H110 loads (Belmont magnum pistol). Have you compared the two powders and seen any differences in performance? What I've read about W296 makes me...
