I've used one of these a lot and it's an awesome experience. Butter-smooth action and a tack driver. GLWS!

Ammunition Identification
GoneBallistic replied to GoneBallistic's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
This is what I was looking for, thanks!!! -
A friend of mine inherited some .303 British ammo and was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on the age of it. They have a light-colored projectile and a different headstamp. Pics of one beside a modern round for color comparison. They have varying headstamps on top (K 1941, RG 1942, K 1942, K2 1941, K5 1942, etc.), but the bottom of all say "W1". My uneducated guess is that they were jacketed in aluminum instead of copper due to a war-time material shortage, but I have nothing factual to base that assumption on. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Interested in the CX4. PM sent -
Haha no worries. I've decided not to try reloading aluminum cases. However, I've not decided what I'm going to do about moles yet, so please continue haha
-
This idea is second only to melting Terminators haha
-
Seems like it's not the way to go then. Thanks for all the input guys. I'll throw it in the bucket with the steel cases.
-
I'll check this evening and update. I'm not sure.
-
So the problem would likely be that the aluminum is too hard or too brittle to be resized?
-
I recently received some empty aluminum 9mm cases in a batch of misc. brass. I don't see why these can't be reloaded, but I've personally never heard of anyone actually doing it. Anyone have experience or potential issues I should be aware of? Thanks in advance. I did a brief search on this but came up empty. My apologies if it's already been discussed.

Thanks! We're divers and have a spare tank that could be dedicated to filling the air gun, and there's a local dive shop. What's the apparatus that goes on the tank called? -
What is with people hacksawing their A2 sights?
GoneBallistic replied to Ronald_55's topic in Long Guns
The A2 front sight post will show up in some lower profile holographic sights. I've put an Eotech on a rifle with an A2 post before and remember seeing it in the sight picture. I don't recall whether or not it actually prevented the use of the Eotech or not. -
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any experience with these. My dad is wanting one. Seems like it would be pretty cool. I like how you can control the pressure. Also, can anyone recommend a good compressor? https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Seneca_Sumatra_2500_500cc_Reservoir/1077 Thanks in advance!

GoneBallistic replied to Ronald_55's topic in Long Guns
Most of the time, I think it's someone who wants to put an Eotech or Aimpoint on without changing the gas block. Pretty tacky, if you ask me. -
Welcome! My dad used to have a lease in the Nashville area and that's where I killed my first 3 or 4 deer. I'm not sure of the best way to locate such a thing, but something to keep in mind!

I know I'm late to the party, but plus one for the positive reviews. I've bought a rifle and several optics from him. Great guy and easy to deal with! -
They have an awesome course!

I think they've had an ownership change in the past year or two. I haven't personally been, but I've heard it's better.

Remington 7400 bending case mouths
GoneBallistic replied to GoneBallistic's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Thanks! I'll check on those issues and update the post -
Hey guys, a buddy of mine is having trouble with his 7400 (chambered in .270) bending case mouths. It's not terrible, but definitely noticeable at a glance. He also said it's accuracy has went downhill of late. I haven't shot it myself yet, but I've cleaned it (minus pulling the bolt and stripping copper from the barrel). Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it to bend cases, and could that be related to the alleged degradation of accuracy? Thanks in advance
