The AO felt crude, compared to my GI's. Operating rod, mag changes, even field stripping, on the AO were not effortless. Resistance everywhere. My GIs are my favorite gun to shoot, and would be my...

The A/O owner is my lifetime bro-in-law. He will let me know whatever his gunsmith does or says. A GI hammer spring sound like an easy way to test it.

We visually looked at firing pin protrusion. It looked similar to my vintage guns, but we didn't measure it. I have Kuhnhausen, so we knew what to look for. But he left with his AO before we could go...

I took 2 old vets to the range yesterday. An Underwood, and an IBM. They functioned smooth as butter. I have enjoyed them for decades, with never one problem, ever. Thousands of my handloads, not one...

Ideally a lighter load would be best for off hand practice with the revolver. I have been shooting H110 and IMR4227, from starting loads to close to max. The stouter loads seem to be the most...

I will keep the brass based on your comments. I have loaded lots of different headstamps and Aguila brass is lighter than any others. Is the Blackhawk loud? I guess so, but after 74 years of...

I bought a box of this because Aguila 22 rimfire groups well in 3 different guns. But the 30 Carbine through my, most accurate carbine, the UNDERWOOD, didn't punch any noteworthy groups, but cycled...

The old LC will go with my carbines when I pass on. But for the moment they will serve as a security blanket for the inevitable, next, ammo panic. Or call to duty the day when it is time to load all...

Thanks for the intel. Happy camper here. Didn't know one could get so many reloads out of 30 carbine. Don't need to buy any more strange baggies, or even touch my precious stash of unfired LC, which...

How much is too much? I am new to loading this cartridge, using my own factory loads, over 1000 rounds so far, up to three times fired, and there is no bulge in fired brass.. Bought some...

The M1 Carbine would be my easy first choice, it I could only have one firearm. Light weight, reliable, and always gets some range time every time out, because its fun to shoot. My eyes and the...

Lee scoops? Hmmm. Sounds like I should get them and try it out. They might be useful, one way or the other. Been using a RCBS Uniflow, then the trickler on a 505 scale. Not very fast, but I am...

I took the advice of JasonA and others and started testing IMR4227. So far it seems to give better accuracy than H110. After burning through 2 years of range trips and keeping records, 4227 is...

Looking for recommendations. I tried some X-treme 110 gr. RN's last year. Loaded up 7 batches of about 20 each to test. Shot them at 100 yards/ 5 round groups, then 3 round groups at 25 yds. The...

Started reloading for my war babies recently, using H110 and 110 grain Sierra and X-treme bullets with CCI 400 SRP. Encouraging results so far, but I am down to the bottom of an old can of powder....

I shot a few more of my first reloads with CCI 41's. Had one more FTF, with a good looking firing pin strike. I rechambered it and fired again and it went bang. Maybe the stiff 41's didn't get...

Just starting learning to load for this caliber. My first batch using CCI 41 seemed to work OK.. All but 2 out of 100 went bang and hit the paper. The 2 that didn't fire had good pin strikes,but...

Thanks for the explanation on use of the expander die. Now understand it is used for 2 functions in the loading process for 30 Carbine. Anyway, got a batch of brass trimmed just right and moving on...

In attempting to handload 30 Carbine for the first time with all new equipment. I ran into some numbers I don't understand. I tumbled once fired cases, decapped, lubed in and out, then ran the cases...

I am underway, handloading for my M1 Carbines for the first time. While sorting by headstamp through my bucket of brass, there were 50 cases of R-P. I don't remember shooting them and the brand...

Thanks for the advice on case length. Duly noted and WILCO. Still setting up a new reloading section in my shop, but 30 carbine dies will be the first to go in the brand new RockChucker sometime this...

I will hang on to the LC bandolier ammo. Pass it on with the carbines when I am done. Got two buckets of brass, LC and everything else. Bought the dies and components to load 'em. Pretty excited...

Thanks for the knowledge. So someone installed a new front sight. That explains why the Underwood hits target zero set on "2" at 100 yards.

The underwood puts groups centered in the bullseye at 100 yards, with the center sitting on top of the post, and the rear sight showing "2" in the notch. Using LC and BVAC lately. Gonna try my first...

Anyone finding the LC50 bandoliers for sale these days? 120 rounds for about 60 bucks a few years ago. I have some. Should I save it because it will never be available again. It is pretty good ammo,...
