Due to increasing age and worsening health I have gone back to a Remington 1100 whilst the gun is perfect I do realise that spares are getting harder to find nowadays so would like to stock up on bits and pieces such as rings, tuning fork, action bars etc for as and when it does break! Back in the day there were big boxes of spares available and in fact I had loads myself and I am sure there is still plenty knocking around in the back of the garage somewhere…..RegardsGraham

Hi Tony i think they are rare as rocking horse poo nowadays. I will be picking up a 600 this week that has one on it but not sure if it has other bars with it. I will be moving the press on so will let you know if the adjustable bar is available….

A Teague or Mandel tapered key will do the job better

I have one. Indestructible and will be my go to Duck gun this year.

Not a lot in the way of 20 bore stuff but do have 1500 new primed 20 bore cases if of any interest.

Contact Deershooter. He has 200kg of linotype he was going to sell

Would be nice to have an idea of what you have…..

On the lookout for a decent 16 ga press. Anything about? regards Graham

Not a lot wrong with Nobel 80 or 82 if it has been correctly stored. The staple powder for many reloaders for a good few years. an investment in a powder scale is a must and should be a first purchase. You are not far from me (Worcester) so give me a shout if you need advice on setting up your machine. regards Graham

As per title, a very nice Ponsness Warren 900 Elite in 12 Guage. This makes a superb 12ga 2 3/4” shell and completes the whole process every time you pull the handle. This machine is the newer model and upgrades are available as well as Die sets from Ponsness Warren. Comes with instructions and a set of shot and powder bushings. This is collect only or meet up as I will not post. A bargain at £375

Irrespective of what the powder looked like I would do a density check to see how much powder was in the original cartridges (sample of a few for verge weight) no then would consult my reference data. If I was concerned the. I would scrap it but if reasonably confident then I would test a few loads but of course it would depend how much powder there was. For 1/2 a kg then it would not be worth bothering with. If it was 12Kg drum then I would work up some loads. I was recently offered 12kg drums of GM3GV. This is an old powder that is sealed nicely in the containers and is fine to use. However it is commercial powder with a burn rate between GM3BD and GM3 Special. If I was to buy this powder then I would start load development knowing that it is slightly slower burning than GM3BD and would need a little more powder to get it going. the observation about the forum was a general observation and not directly aimed at yourself. It is interesting to look at old reloading books sometimes. The original shooting times paperback book on reloading devotes a chapter to cartridge development and how to build a load. Well worth a read…

When I first started reloading then this forum was the place to come for advice. A friendly bunch of fellow minded shooters who were always here with words of wisdom. The ability to ask any question, without sounding like a numpty was particularly helpful. if the new reloader is to be humiliated by asking a question then they will not ask and could actually end up harming themselves. That powder is more than likely PSB2 and I would have done a density test and tried it in a lead load using regular data but that is me and I still have all my fingers….
