Those lightweight alloy .44mag revolvers may be nice to carry but the nice ends when you have to shoot them any amount. I can only imagine shooting max loads with bullets over 300gr out them.

I wager Hornady cares more about selling to reloaders than Vista and Olin do. The later wants to make components for their own ammo and sell in large quantities to ammo makers.
If you want a...
Lee doesn't bother drilling or boring the holes in the turrets. They just run the tap through them as cast. You often get some flash on a thread or two that hits the root of the thread. Worse if the...

What model Williams did you end up going with? My dad wants to change the buckhorn on his 92 in .44mag.(it sucks) I'm trying to get him to go for a rear peep sight. I tried to get him to go with the...
There is really only 2, Vista and Olin. Those are the owners of the 4 brands you are thinking of. They can control output how they want basically. The import primers seem to be vaporware.

It does seem like it took a nose dive in popularity. But that is often how a lot new cartridges go. Many manufacturers make guns chambered with it to start and then it slowly peters out. The cost of...
Vista came out with the .30SC to try and make money and it was easy for them to get SAAMI to approve a cartridge. Only advantage it has over 9x19 is you can fit more of them in the same mag than...

I mainly do it with brass molds to build a little "patina" on them before making bullets. Aluminum I usually just do the dawn dish soap, hot water and toothbrush or just hose them down with brake...
I have saw it mentioned already that it headspace on the shoulder but SAAMI says the case mouth.(looking at the drawing) I figure the case mouth is likely correct because of all the different factory...
I needed some small shoulder screws for a NEI nose pour mold I had. Got them from McMaster-Carr.
It makes no sense that Ruger didn't come out with the 3" but came out with the snubby .327 LCR. The .327 is going to be better suited for that longer barrel, even if it is only 3".
The 9x19 does not have a penetration or expansion problem, maybe at one time some bullets did but not anymore. The .380 is on the edge. There are several .380 bullets out there that will even...
The only advantage to this cartridge is in most guns you can squeeze and extra round or two in the magazine vs 9x19. That is it. It doesn't attain 9x19 performance. With the pressure it is running it...

They make this barrel in both threaded and non threaded. All their barrels come with a gas block. I use an Airbrush to spray on KG Gunkote and then bake in the oven on stainless barrels. They have a...

Same here. I like leverguns but for over a grand there are so many more guns I can have for the same price or less than and I'll have more fun with them and they will be more accurate too. I will be...

A lot of people think EVs are pretty much maintenance free. They basically have every system a regular IC engine has just sans IC engine. So they are not. The manufacturers have long or no intervals...

I'd either use a bonded jacketed bullet above 60gr or a monometal bullet like the Hornady GMX or Barnes TSX in the .223. Load them towards the upper end. The heavier more solidly constructed bullet...

The .458socom case can't be made from any other case. There is rumor around and on Wikipedia that the .50AE is the parent case but it is not really true. The reason that rumor is around is because...

I find sawdust doesn't cut it for flux a lot of time. So I am not a fan of it. I get some of that separation on some of my alloys and add some candle wax from an old candle I have, mixes it right in....

I size to .432" most of the time. I buy most sizers under the size I need by .001" or .002" and then polish them to size on my lathe. Reason I do that is because many sizers are rather rough on the...

I can get 115gr XTPs in .380. Little bulge in the brass at the bullet base but they chamber and fire. If the 120gr cast profile is right you should be able to get it to work in .380.

Around .226".
All my .223/5.56 rifles are 1-7 twist. Have to test different loads and see what the barrel likes.
