I find that Fio hulls crimp well and reload easily, especially for 2 1/2” loads. My chief concern is the tendency for the base wad to unseat after a couple reloads, which is very undesirable in any s ...

Best explanation I ever heard, from office conversation between two co-workers, a young lady and a hunter/gun owner:

Ordered a can of WD-40 White Lithium Grease spray the other day. Tried it on the Supersizer and it worked better than anything else I had. Eliminated the sticking that was plaguing it. The white spr ...

OK hold on everyone. Yes a 2 1/2” A5 can be fussy with 7/8 oz loads…IF IT HASN’T BEEN CLEANED IN A HUNDRED YEARS!!

Euro rifle caliber markings can be ambiguous. Took the 16x8mm to a gunsmith who did a chamber casting to positively identify 8x57JRS caliber,which is one of the modern (i.e., hotter) chamberings. Ba ...
