Great job Brewster11

I -- The Great Procrastinator -- purchased the original Pressure Trace product in 2007, and "never got around to it" -- dang me. However, last spring I started a con ...

Mark -- Keep the original buttstock "original", then scout around for another old stock for that 37 -- cut it, refinish it, install a recoil pad -- whatever you desire, and simply exchange i ...

Damn! I just moved to Florida (still spend summers in MN, and fall hunting in MN and old home area of ND, etc.), but I have no 16 gauge guns or ammo down here yet. Sorry to miss this event. If ther ...

kennedey756 -- I'll also chime in to say, yes, Cheddite primers fit anything a Winchester 209 will.

Can you tell me what reloader you are using? I have found in some Remington empties, particula ...

PIOBill -- Always wanted to ask what the "PIO" stood for. In my day in the USAF, it meant Pilot Induced Oscillation - a little over-control and out of phase issue, usually on landing.

Unfortunately, Winchester's original finish was a varnish, not an oil finish, nor anything "hand rubbed". I knew John Kay, and visited him in his shop. At that time, he was fairly near the ...

Mark, You load a lot of RGL's, right? They're usually about 67 or 68 mm long, only about 1/8 inch longer than a 65mm hull. If one can load a 7/8 ounce load with the Claybuster CB0078-16, you should ...

.250-3000??!! Sorry, but what the heck for! That crippled cartridge, made for the Savage 99, has just about nothing going for it. Why not a .257 Bob as it has a lot more capability than the .250-30 ...

Oddly, Dave in Maine, I'm doing something very similar. Currently, as part of my self education on my lathe and mill, I'm re-barreling a really nice M93 Mauser in it's original caliber 7x57, and will ...

NobelSport 686's are similar to W209's. The 688 is a magnum primer, I believe. It's kind of like the difference between a Fiocchi 615 and a 616, or CCI 209 and 209M.

Fit?? I've had no problem wh ...

I find MEC auto primer feeds quite useless on MEC single-stage reloaders. For just one thing, the mechanism, with its necessary spring loading and friction, robs the user of feel for what's going on ...
