The Hornet Rifle is a Weihrauch HW60J. Nearly new so the grove diameter will be .224. It shoots factory made ammo perfectly.

Hello folks a friend of mine has just started reloading for his 22 Hornet. 6.5 grains of 2400 to 55 grain FMJ bullet. The bullets are tumbling. This load is recommended by Lyman. Can anyone shed some light on this problem.

A friend of mine has aquired a Winchester .22 Self loader 1903 which seems to shoot more or less okay. The stock is cracked and he wants to remove it to either repair it or make a new one. Can anyone point him to website where he can find infomation such as exploded parts views etc. Also I keep...

Located some Remmington caps about 50 miles from here. Going to get em tomorrow .

Got some new nipples on the Ruger old army( not Tresos yet) and noticed a bit of improvement.Still the occational failure to ignite.Still useing CCI as I can't get any Remington just now. I think I need to clean the nipples each time with those interdental tooth brushes , they come in various...

Vacation. Denver, Mt Rushmore.etc Coming over to the States for a vacation in Sept. Denver, Mt Rushmore, Yellowstone, the dinasour place(forget the name) Moab Canyonlands etc. If we can, would like to take in the Custer place. Just a bit north of our westerly route. So its probably tight for...

Maybe I should get some Treso nipples. Wonder if I can get them over here? (UK) Actually I have looked through the chambers and existing nipples and they look OK. But.. anyway I have in the mean time, ordered some new Ruger nipples. So I,ll see how they perform with Remington caps. If the...

.Hi Guys thanks for the advice, I have not fired the gun for years so I am a bit hazy about the details but having said that....the gun is entirely original with the original nipples but because I remember finding it hard to put caps on I did put the nipples in my lathe and slimmed them down a...

Hi Guys, I bought a Ruger cap and ball revolver some time a go and don't use it much because it has an irritating habit of misfiring and sometimes whenit does fire , fragments of cap drop down into the mechanism and cause it to jam. Various theories have been put forward by other owners of the...

Thanks for the information guys. And whoops its not a 92 but a 94AE according to the engraving on the barrel. Had it so long I 'd forgotten what it was! Anyway I bought it new as a .357. The wadcutters that I previously used were bought cast bullets and as I said shot very tight groups when...

Hello, have had a Winchester 92 .357 for some years and hardly used it because it was really inaccurate mainly due to the heavy trigger pull.Anyway I took it in to my local gunsmith and had the trigger lightened. This tightned the groups up considerably but still not really tight. I was shooting...

This, in responce to accusations of using this site like Facebook/Twitter. I have a Winchester underlever in .357 which is pretty inaccurate with lead bullets untill I seat the bullets quite a long way out. In fact just short of touching the rifling. At which point I get cloverleaf groups. Any...

Took our hand guns away.We can still have rifles, shotguns, muzzle loading hand guns and cap and ball revolvers. But, for how much longer? Ian
