Hi guys, I need a very accurate cast bullet and load for .38 super for NRA action pistol, power factor 120 to 140. Does anyone have any pet loads or...

Something I learned from a food inspector in South Carolina a long time ago; He was testing some tomatoes being loaded on my truck, he would sprinkle something from a shaker from his pocket, then eat...

God bless you, Jim, I shall miss you.

Just as an aside, I once chrono'd a 1911 Colt Commander for a fellow shooter who was complaining of excessive recoil. A friend was loading a 230gr SWC version of H & G #68 over an unknown type and...

Get a good .45-70. You can use anything from round ball and Bullseye to full house that will handle anything. The .30-30 is another good choice, just much smaller. Mine was a .44-40 M92 Winchester,...
