Your dies may not be doing their job. When I went to work at the Army Small Cal Lab the guy that trained me told me that a fair amount of dies are reamed too deep and if you have a rifle with min headspace the die my not bump the shoulder back far enough and you will get into a "forcing the...

Got the action, came with broken extractor. Want to build a bolt action 45-70 as I had a friend with two of them built such.

Had an extra reloading press so I figured WTH, figure out a portable press and this is what I came up with. It looks like it would wobble but does not. I made the legs and turned them in lathe and measured them with very long caliper and they are all within about .005" IIRC. Cap screws hold...

There are several ways to evaluate a rifle in my opinion that you may need in a SHTF situation. 1. The main question is this. What design will last the longest without maintenance support? i.e. be capable of firing the most number of rounds day in and day out with little or no maintenance...

The three biggest enemies of ammo (besides politicians) is AIR AND HEAT and moisture. Per Frankford Arsenal Engineers I worked with they estimate the life of MILSPEC ammo that has never been subjected to AIR/HEAT is 125 years. Once a can has been opened the estimate is 75 years stored in COOL...

IT DON’T GO BANG-FIRES, HANGFIRES, MISFIRES AND SHORT ORDER COOKS In looking over the various information I can find on the internet about why it doesn’t go bang there is almost virtually no information on this area for the average shooter to obtain the knowledge needed to investigate these...

Basically to understand the problem is the beginning. Then to correct the problem and third to keep the problem from returning. The biggest enemy (besides some politicians) we face is carbon be it in barrel or cartridge case. I have been doing a goodly amount of testing the last three years...

Was looking around for information on very old Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauer Carbines and found the most information on this site. While not a hunter I have a unique history in the weapons engineering area for US Army and I was a Small Arms and Ammunition Test Director at Aberdeen Proving...
