Holy smoke, I'm glad that I've only had to contend with housemice; at this point, I've shot more of them than deer.:mrgreen:

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with parents shoving tablets into the hands of toddlers. These kids are addicted to glowing screens, endless video clips, and social media, nearly from the womb.

I am not sure what the theoretical maximum would be, but I do know that there is a point of diminishing returns; I loaded a 505 gibbs with 120 grains of ffg under a 700 grain solid, and got 1415 fps....

Th325408is tin had 25 rounds left in it, several of which I have shot, and of all the low-power 22 I have (CB's from various manufacturers, Colibri/Super Colibri, CCI Quiets, etc), I like how these...

8mm Mauser. The neck will be a little short, but it hasn't caused me a problem. I have gone as far as simply swapping the projectile on surplus ammo with some 150 grain .312 projectiles that I had...

100 Grain SWC, 2.7 Grains of Red Dot. According to Speer No 8 (printed in 1970), that is actually below max for the S&W Long. This might be an example of downloading over the years. 324304

Hmm, in my succesful endeavor to duplicate Buffalo Bore's ballistics in my 32 S&W with Red Dot, it appears that I have exceeded the 32 H&R, at least according to that edition of Speer. But I am not...

It usually isn't, I've tried.

From his measurements, if I am reading these drawings correctly, it should be 32 S&W. Or course, it's easy to check, sin 32 S&W shouldn't fit into a 32 Colt chamber.324190324191

You know it's funny, I never thought to try weighing the charge; I just used the volumetric measure, and assumed that it was different. Good to know. Of course you are also correct about balloon-head...

Black powder is very simple and the exact charge isn't crucial, though the original 32 S&W was loaded with 9 grains (by volume, not weight) of 3F. In the past, I've just eyeballed it with 2F and an...

Since you are just getting started, definitely slug the bore, and buy a mold to match, However, I have a wide variety of 32's and I've found that using .312"-.313" projectiles works pretty well...

In have roughly thirty barrels to choose from (though not in person, unfortunately), in varying states of completion; some are chromed and some are not, but all are rifled and unfired. If they can be...

I have my pick from a large number of partially-finished barrels. Most have no gas port; if there is one,I will simply plug it. My source is looking for one without a finished chamber, but that isn't...

Thirty-two caliber barrels for a Winchster 1885 are expensive, whereas I have the ability to get an SKS barrel for free. Is there any way I could make that work?

It's definitely a fluke,. The entire box could be bad, or even that production lot, but the basic design of the round is sound. I have the CB shorts, which feature the exact same loading (I didn't...

I don't think I can make those work; 500 Jeffrey features a rebated rim and a bottleneck.

Btt

Still looking.

A still-hopeful bump.

Bump.

Bumpity-bump.

I am looking for any sort or loaded ammo (even unknown handloads) and/or brass, as well as dies. Thoroughly used is fine.

I did not use a filler.

I acquired a smattering of partially-full pistol powder cans about two year ago, and I tried them all out, including Bullseye, with 220gr, jacketed projectiles. I've misplaced my notes, but other...
