For me, it's a no brainer. 45ACP. I have a few 1911's and want a carbine in that caliber. Still waiting for Ruger to make that PC45.

CCI because it was recommended when I first started reloading. Or maybe it was recommended because the dealer made more money from them. But either way, they work, so why change. I do have a few...

When I see finned boolits, I just toss them back into the pot. I assume that I screwed up that casting. But since you've already PC'd and put gas checks on them, I'd just shoot them. Just my 2...

I was thinking along the same lines as mold maker that they were some sort of a fabric grommet fastener. But looking at a more blown up picture I see that it is indeed an old radiator/heater hose...

Try calling RCBS, I'll bet that they'll ship you what you need for free.

I ordered some parts I needed for a RCBS press and when I asked the rep. where to send a check for the parts I was told that RCBS doesn't sell parts for their stuff. I got what I wanted a few days...

Yep, it's for them instant taters. GFS has them too. The ones with the skins are the best with that thar canned gravy. Now, I ain't sayin' that it's great, just better than most instant stuff. ...

GFS has a decent canned gravy, but it is a big can. Of course, I've only had it after we put a bunch of meatloaf drippings in it.

I use a toaster oven and always preheat. I don't know if it makes a difference or not. I was just following Smokes directions.

You can tell I'm new to reloading, I just entered the depression stage. LOL

IIRC the Henry won't handle Ruger only, T/C Contender loads. I'd stick with the 45 cowboy loads.

I have to agree with this. I wouldn't sell it for fear of the liability. I'd either use it or give it to the roses.

Just another newbe saying that this is a nice place to visit. I'd volunteer more but usually the questions are already answered or I just don't know.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Simple answer, yes, I would shoot them. But in reality, it would depend on the mood I was in at the time I inspected them. I haven't got too of these ready to shoot, so I'll shoot them. Or, I've...

Like you I was only using my Lee bottom pour pot for everything. since I don't really do that much smelting, I've gone the cheap route and went to Walmart and bought a steel mini muffin pan for...

I have a hunch that RedlegEd is right. But that is just a guess.

Frank, thanks for that video. I didn't know that there was anything like that out there. I knew that you could modify the 1911 mags to fit the Hi Point but then they wouldn't work in the 1911.

I've been looking for a Marlin Camp but no luck or the price was way too much.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Still waiting for some one to come out with a PC Carbine in the 45ACP that uses the 1911 mag. I sure hope that Ruger does it soon. I'd of had a Hi Point if it took that mag. already.

I found out that mine had shown up a few days ago and I picked it up Sunday. Now to get a chance to get out and do some casting tomorrow.
