At the moment I'm using Sierra's 220 grain 8mm bullets (.323 in size). Not my ideal choice as I would have preferred something with the wider base that you brought up earlier but after talking to a...
I'm looking for a velocity of about 2000-2100 fps which is similar to the Krag load -- I'm worried it's too much but I have no data whatsoever for the 8x58mm so I'm figuratively shooting in the dark...
I'll be honest with you, I haven't had a chance to slug the barrel. I've had limited opportunity to shoot the rifle and only got dies for it last month -- I've other project rifles on the go that...
Last year I picked up an 1870 Husqvarna Rolling Block and finally got some CH4D dies for reloading last month. Problem? I'm having a bit of a time trying to figure out loads for this rifle.
It...
So revisiting this, can someone tell me if this a sporter? My thanks in advance!
I think I know which Polish guy you're talking about -- east_sector -- I might have dealt with him in the past.
A repro would do fine. The 71/84 I have isn't in collector condition so I don't mind settling for a repro. At any rate I shall give your suggestions a shot and you have my thanks.
Has anyone any idea where one can find a Gewehr 71/84 sling? I've done the usual searches on eBay, IMA, Numrich, etc. and found nothing. If you know of something that ships to Canada please share!

Okay Mr. Chadwick, I await your judgment! Hopefully this awful picture will be of some utility.

Good point. I'll post one tomorrow.
Good day! I recently came into possession of an 1870 Husqvarna Rolling Block -- not a milsurp, I know, but will have to do for now -- and the sling that came with it is a rather old and ratty leather...
Having them imported into Canada isn't the difficult part -- as soon as CH4D rolls out some dies they'll be shipping two sets on up to my LGS. I just don't want to wait until November :-)
At any...
I have been searching high and low for 8x58mmR Danish dies so I can reload for my Rolling Block rifle but I have had no luck with WTBs on multiple web sites, eBay searches, calls to retailers...I've...
Prvi Partizan brass may actually be my favourite brass to reload in multiple calibres, including .303 British. The commercial ammunition shoots well too.
I am almost willing to bet that your interpretation of of IHL as 1HL is absolutely correct!
I must apologize for my absence from this thread after I promised a picture of the markings. I sprained...
My friend should be back in town tomorrow from his holiday season jaunt to see family and I'll post the best pictures I can manage.
Still here lads, it was Christmas after all :-) I'm afraid that the "engraving" is a bit faded and doesn't show up well in photos. I will try and photograph it. It does look like it was hand-done,...
Good day: A friend recently came into possession of a LE Jungle Carbine and there were some markings on the butt stock that I was hoping some of you experts could help us determine what they meant:
