You should have no problems with either of the bullet diameters as far as the throats of your cylinders. As long as the groove diameter is not oversized they should shoot well. Typically lead...

I use a Franklin Armory vibratory tumbler to apply my PC powder. It works great and can take as little as 10 minutes, however I usually let it run for 20 minutes minimum. The down side is that it...

A friend bought and gave one of those old red metal cans of Red Dot that he got at an auction a few months ago. He said nobody wanted to bid on it. I haven't weighed the powder in it but there...

Line your trays with a silicon baking matt and they will unstick real easy.
I too am just getting into loading slugs and buckshot in 12 ga. I have a lot to learn on slugs and have been enjoying the posts here. Yesterday I cast some Lyman Foster type slugs and some Lee key...

I have decided to not take any chances and just use RNF cast boolits in the carbine. No sense taking any chances, though those RN lee boolits just rain out of that six cavity mold.

Thanks Guys for all the info, I plan to size to .432 or .433 after powder coating depending on what chambers. I will use a RNF Lyman at about 240 grains. Thanks again for the info, I appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I would like to see if anyone has loaded the Lee 240 Grain round nose boolits for the Rossi 92 lever gun. I was wondering if the round nose would be an issue with the tubular magazine...

Thanks so much for your posts, I think I will buy a stainless R92 in 44 magnum now. This is a great source of information!

Guys, Does anyone have experience with shooting powder coated cast in the stainless steel barrel of the Rossi levergun? I looked at one at a gunshow and liked what I saw but couldn't tell if the...

I use chilled level shot for skeet and 16 yd. trap but use magnum level shot for the longer handicap yardage on the trap field. I make my own and can adjust the hardness of the shot by adding...

I am just now starting to PC rifle boolits, I use one of those silicone ice cube trays that you can get off the internet that makes 3/8" ice cubes. You can stand up the boolits in the trays when you...

I have many molds of that design as I was looking for that h&G 68 style for my 45 acp needs. I tried the Lee and found it casts a good boolit but that the nose was a tad long and the radius on the...
My 3/4 oz. 12ga. skeet load is 17 grs. of 700X in a Rem Gun Club hull with the same Claybuster wad and a 209 primer of any make except a Fed. 209A. I like this load and lot and it smokes targets on...

check the cuff of your pants, and the tongue of your shoes if they have one. It is amazing where they bounce to.
I like and use Winchester 209 primers as they always seem to work well no matter what the temperature is or the type of powder. Now that I cannot get WWAA209 primers I bought 5000 Cheddites. I have...
Lets think about this, who makes most all of the primers made in the US? Who stands to lose the most if they can't sell factory loaded shotgun shells from 25 to 50% more than a year ago because of...
I have made a ton of shot in the past and this is what works for me. COWW makes good "chilled" level shot as it has about 2% Sb and a touch of arsenic. Arsenic increases surface tension which is...
