The mag I have here really does appear to be a wider version of the X51 BIS semi mag. When I worked in Pack and Rifle and then at Kilwell I can't remember ever coming across different sized mags. The...
PaulNZ I will pull it out of the safe tomorrow and take measurements and post photos. The one I have has nowhere near the amount of angle on the base as the one in your photo and the photo zimmer...
Hi PaulNZ, can you ask your friend if they can measure the width of the Unique bolt mag they have please? This needs to be done with a vernier if at all possible. I have a brand new Unique 5 shot mag...
My one and only experience with Optics Planet was not good. The scope I ordered showed as being in stock but it took 3 months, several emails and a couple of phone calls before it was sent....
My Tipton Deluxe carbon fibre rod is still going strong after many years and countless number of barrels cleaned. I opted for a 44 inch rod which allows the jag to be out the muzzle while the handle...
The Redding Instant Indicator is the solution that I use for producing constant CBTO ammo, it is set up using a known length dummy round. I seat all the projectiles between 4&5 thou too long with my...
Hi apkiwi Back in the mid seventies I worked at Pack and Rifle in Rotorua and we sold a lot of Voere bolt and semi-auto rifles.
In the early eighties I worked in the firearms division of Kilwell...
duckndeer what model Z3 are you referring to please?
muzza have you looked at the Edition VI of the Sierra reloading manual? In the rear of the manual there is a section called Rifle Legacy Reloading Date which includes data for the 219 Donaldson Wasp.
JohnQT if you are referring to the Speer part No 1047 55 grain spritzer then I have used them in a 223 for goats. Also I have used them in a 22-250 and a 220 Swift for goats, deer and pigs.

Four or five years ago a Rotorua gun store owner showed me a box of Hornady factory 308 ammo that had one round of 243 ammo in it.
In the thread that I linked it mentions that Deadeye Dick and Sierra knew about this. I have not seen any mention of it on any of the US forums and I find it hard to believe that Sierra wouldn't have...
There is mention of this amongst this thread.

grandpamac if you go onto the Hodgdon site and click on any of the Enduron powders and scroll to the bottom of the "Product Overview" you will see "This product was discontinued in 2022".
When I asked AMP about drying brass Alex sent an email saying pre-heat the oven at 120°C and put the cases in for 10-15 minutes. That worked fine and I had no discolouration.
My wife bought an air...

Along with the different stock design between the HW 66 and HW 60J there is also a weight difference. The HW 66 weigh 3.15 kg compared to 3.6 kg for the...
Back in the mid 80s I sold a new International in 250 Savage. It was one of the rifles Howard Lopdell imported when I had a small gun shop in Rotorua. It had a very nice stock for a Ruger.
If there is more than 5 thou difference between your fired case neck outside diameter and the sized case then Redding suggest you use more than one bushing.
I had this same issue when sizing for...
