I could be wrong, but it looks like an old Mosin Nagant sling

Why complicate things ?

Just another piece of kit that could break down just when you don't need it to.

Keep it simple

Gets the crud off and has no major acid issues like vinegar.

Old thread I know, but tried the adamjp recipe this weekend & it works a treat, thanks mate

Sorry mate, but

I reload for my old military clunkers, 3 different calibres, but I find the whole process very relaxing and a hell of a lot cheaper overall

Now that is something special, very nice Fenring

I know you specified rifles bear, but if you are new to shooting I would keep it simple for the game you stated.

.22
12 gauge
.222

and you will be right

Thanks Knacks, good review mate

Hi Flip, Photos would be great

Maybe try free floating the barrel, that may tighten up your groups, are you using hand loads or factory ?
Lots of variables to work with mate !

I've got 2 rifles in 7.62 X 54R Ron, & they don't look anything like that !, although I can see the pedigree if I look closely

So apart from Dies that kit contains everything i need? Thanks for the help! The only other thing you will need is the appropriate case length gauge & shellholder, part numbers here : http://www.leeprecision.com/cgi/catalog/browse.cgi?1294380495.1190=/html/catalog/casecon.html#CaseLengthGauge

You can get a brand new one cheaper than that from the US. TOZ have them for about $100 USD. Cheers When you said TOZ, I straight away thought "Russian rifles" :D Having looked at that link though, there is some interesting stuff there, are they good to deal with ? I take it you give them...

I use winnie subs in my CZ for bunnies , never a problem with those at all, always consistant, which is what you want, & I like the bang....pause.....thwack , having said that, your rifle may not like them !

As trevort has said, it is better to use a bigger calibre on the foxes.

Can't even help you with Hornady .311 150gr as they are currently out of stock with the distributors as well. :lol: Had a look through the suggested sites & Magnum sports are showing both the Sierra & Hornady 150g on their website, whether they're in stock though is a different story :lol: ...
