Got the dies and some brass, but haven't gotten around to it.

Same here !

Too busy shooting the cheap stuff to reload.

[rockcreek]

I load it once in a while, but usually just plink with the cheap stuff. It is hard to get published velocity due to the small case with most powders. I have had good luck with 4198 powder and the 150gr .312 Sierra prohunter, will shoot under 2" out of a scoped Chinese SKS.

I thought about it, but decided the ammo is cheap enough for fun shooting. I might reload if I want more accuracy out of my ak.

Yes. I load for a Ruger Mini-30 Tactical, an Armalite AR-15 and an ASI Mini-30 Custom Conversion. What would you like to know?

I would like to know more about the mini 30s I recently bought one and would like to learn more about them. Any good web sites?

Yes, I use cast lead 200gr bullets and small amounts of trail boss. It is very quiet. As in at 900fps it sounds like a cap gun.

There was a really great site called "The Perfect Union". It had a ton of info, tips-&-tricks , and accuracy techniques for the Ruger Mini's. The Moderator "cajungeo" was a Mini lover and turned the PU into the best Mini forum on the net. He passed away and things started t go a little down hill. Then the PU was sold to a new owner. Since the new owner took over most of cajungeo's hard work, "tips-&-tricks" have been removed. Now it's just a place were guys go to lie about how their Mini can shoot one hole groups all day long with cheap Foreign Surplus ammo.
Many of the Mini experts from the PU have been banned or moved on to a new site called Charlie6. http://charlie6.org/c6forum/viewforum.p ... 766b5017c0
Charlie 6 is new and just staring out, but there is plenty of info on what makes the Mini tick and how to make it shoot.

Now that sounds fun. Does it cycle an AK? Does it leave your brass somewhere in this county instead of the next?

lol I feel bad for the guys at the other end of the range, I think bounced a hundred shells off their heads.

Use it in a single shot Rossi cut to 16", doubt it would cycle anything.
