      Anyone reload the 7.7 Jap?

      Not knowing the quality of your T99 since they run from beautiful to abysmal, I'd recommend using 303 British load data for starting loads. If you have a fine quality rifle and not a last ditch rifle, you can use 7.65x53 or 8mm Mauser load data since the good ones have the same or better...

      Counter Supination - a New Grip for Women with AR-15s

      Its cross-pollination from high power rifle matches. Its not new. I've seen people shooting ARs like this in the Off-Hand positions for nearly 20 years.

      Need a IN-based Gunsmith to replace Enfield #4 barrel

      As the subject lines states, I'm looking for a gunsmith to do a project for me in pulling off and rebarreling an Enfield #4 action. Are there any gunsmiths in the Indianapolis area (I'm willing to drive in a 100 mile radius of Brownsburg to find one) willing to do this? Bruce

      Ariska 7.7

      Your possibly had the rifle rechambered into 308Win by having a gunsmith take a turn or 2 (7mm total cut off) of the threads of the barrel and then cut an equivalent distance off the shoulder before it was rechambered with that new cartridge. You will probably be best served loading the rifle...

      9mm Largo Loading Data

      I've never used Clays in my 38 Super pistol or my 9mm LARGO pistol/carbine. IF the load data came from the powder company's website, than that load would be fine for a 38 SUPER chambered pistol (Llama). the actual LARGOs I would stay with the 38ACP loads or actual 9mm LARGO load data. Bruce

      9mm Largo Loading Data

      Sorry about that. Here is another set of load data for 38ACP and 9mm Largo that won't cost you an annual subscription. I forgot that I've been a member with them for about 10 years. http://www.stevespages.com/355p_1.html Bruce

      9mm Largo Loading Data

      LoadData: .38 Automatic / .38 Auto / .38 ACP (Lee Precision Data) Charge and Load Information/Data for the .38 Automatic / .38 Auto / .38 ACP (Lee Precision Data). Caliber Reloading Data Here you go. 16 different loads for the 115gr projos alone.

      9mm Largo Loading Data

      Look up 38ACP load data for 9mm Largo. If you have a quality pistol, you may be able to use starting or minimal loads of 38 Super but 38ACP will keep you from blowing up your face with an Astra or a Star while letting you run a bullet faster or bigger than a stock 9x19mm (9mm Luger) I own a 38...

      Gunsmithing Status

      Sorry Allen, Got called into work in Indy from the gunclub in Linden so the afternoon was dealing with a minor emergency which killed the afternoon for me trying to get over to the shop. I'm going to try to carve some time next week so I don't interfere with your weekend time. Bruce

      Allen, I really hate this forum's 50 post limit before replying to PMs. I can receive but can't send yet I can see guys with 52 posts selling their stuff like Arab merchants in the buy/sell forum. THanks for the Contact Info and I will call you Thursday before I head over to the shop. I...

      Aerosol Baking Lacquer

      For the use you have planned, I would suggest getting a can of aerosol engine paint from your local automotive supply store. They are formulated to handle high temperatures and come in several colors in addition to the standard black. Last time I checked you can get a can for less than $10...
