I've used a cast 180 grainer that I cast myself from and LBT Mold. With Unique in .38 cases and loaded long to 1.55 with 4.5 grains of Unique they shoot great 750 fps from my 6 in. 686. 5.2 grains...

Solo 1000 is a very clean burning powder. Great for light loads. I run 158 LRN at 800 fps with 3.7 grains and they shoot great.

You can safely use some fillers with Black Powder cartridges but with Smokeless you will increase the pressure of the load dramatically. Unless your loading manual tells you to use a filler stay...

It was real nice today. Rained. So instead of going to the range I turned on the pot, heated up my 180 grain LBT mould and sat down for an hour and produced just over 1000 bullets.

I'll take my...

I have a great 180 grain mould made by LBT. Veral was nice enough to make it a round nose for me since I use it in USPSA competition. I have been able to get sub 1 inch groups with it from 25...

If your bullets are going in sideways they are not stabilizing. You need to shoot them faster. Go up a few tenths of a grain at a time until they shoot straight.

147s are THE go to bullet in the...

Just spent an hour in the garage and casted up about 500 rounds from my LBT 180 grain mould. A friend saw my bullets last week and told me to make my pot hotter so I increased the temp 50 degrees.

Best combination I've come across to eliminate smoke is Solo 1000 powder and LBT Blue lube. The guys watching me were surprised to see I was shooting lead. It's so clean I don't even bother...

I use a 180 grain bullet that I cast from an LBT mould. It's the best bullet I've tried in my .38s. I load them long, to about 1.55 in my .357 guns with .38 brass. Load them to a normal 1.450 OAL...

I've been thinking I needed a new mould for my .38 revolver shooting for USPSA and ICORE competition. If I had a 4 inch barrel I'd probably shoot IDPA as well.

I've been looking at what others are...

There is a big difference between jacketed bullets and lead bullets. You have to test you ammo and make the best bullets you can to get them to shoot well. In my 45-70 i weighed each of my bullets...

It's been a hot summer so I put off casting for a few months. Today I decided to put the pot on after coming home from the range. I casted up 234 rounds from my LBT 180 grain .358 mould. Water...

I use Solo 1000 for my .38s and find it to be the cleanest powder I've come across. I shoot mostly revolver competition with ICORE and USPSA. With other powders I would have to clean the cylinder...

Get rid of it. I've never met a match shooter that is pleased with a Taurus. Their lifetime warrentee sucks. I know one shooter that had to wait nine months just to have a new hand sent.

Sorry...

I love the way my WAAGE works. Keeps temperatures + or - 5 degrees through my casting time. Best pot I've ever owned. May as well buy before the price goes up. Mine has lasted 10 years so far. I...

358 Put a red dot on your .357 and enjoy shooting it more. I too am 58 with diabeties and am having a dificult time with my front sights but with my red dot I do very well. It's so much easier to...

Make sure you are watching the sights and not watching where you think the bullet is going.

The high and low shots are from you lifting your head at the last second and "looking over the...

Brownells has what you need.

I've tried the Wolf primers in a few of my revolvers. They work fine in my Model 29 that has a standard trigger that's been smoothed but not lightened.

In my 686 they would not fire with my 4.5...

Mineral spirits on a rag works better than tumbling. I always get dried media on the tips of the bullts when tumbling LLA. Not the case when using my Star and normal lubes.

Now, if I use LLA...

I only shoot .38 specials out of my .357 revolvers and don't see any erosion. I do clean the cylinders after every shooting session. When I'm aggressive at it I take the cylinder off my Smiths and...

Leupold 2X Just enough to clear things up and the optic was easier to see.

Went to the range to test some more ammo. I've been doing that alot lately. Summer is the best time to chrono loads.

Well, I finally put my Leupold scope on my 627 and zeroed in at 25 yards. ...

Also check out the Safariland Comp IIs. Midway has them as well.

I just gave in today and ordered 3000 bullets from my friend that casts. It's just too hot. I'll start casting again in sthe fall. For now I have 3000 of my own bullets and will have my new order...
