Going to give some of these a shot(pun intended:grin:) for my 6 year old.
I'm open to suggestions on powder an speed most loads I've seen push H110 so figured I would start there.
Sorry for the delayed reply, been out of town. As for the gun, it's a 10.5" S&W X frame. Plans are for whitetail at 200yds.
I recently purchased a 460 S&W and am looking for some advice on what kind of boolits to cast. Anyone have any experience or suggestions?
Uncle Jimbo-
ive tried registering for their site but they won't accept my hotmail address. Tried contacting them via an email a few days ago but haven't heard anything back.
The above is a pretty good sampling. Most all are full boxes. Shells are in good shape, no splits or water damage.
Probably not the right place to post, but I am looking for some help. My uncle recently gave me a couple cases of vintage shotgun shells of various manufacture. Any suggestions for forums or sites to...
I'm debating a 460. Barrel ranging from the 10.5", 12" no break and the 14" with break. Thoughts on any of these? Pros/cons of one vs the other? I know early models with the 8" barrel came with a...
116721 Sorry for the delayed response. If you look close you can see the wear on the sprue plate.
The spruce plate on my Lee 6 cavity mould is wearing where the spruce plate lever contacts the plate, right at the back corner. It's worn to the point that when you use the lever to close the plate,...

What's the plate mounted to the top of your pot for? Pre heat mould?

Natchez is definitely on my naughty list. Ordered a scope and a 1000 bullets. Went the supposed DHL route(which is actually USPS). One month later(to the day) a package shows up. It was ver apparent...
Huge fan of Lobo Gunleather. Have three holsters for my revolvers and love all 3.

Cast my fist boolits today, Lee pro pot and 158gr 6 cavity TL Lee mold. Look pretty good, only one batch frosted, no wrinkles. My concern is the variation in weight. The first 10 I grabbed to weigh...

Thanks for the input and advice. Looks like I need to get me a good old thermometer!

Did a small batch last night since it was my first go. Netted 28 lbs of muffin tin ingots. Used a propane tank pot on a turkey fryer. All in all went pretty slick, but little concerned about the...
I have a 2", 3", and 4" SP, 4" and 6" GP and an 8-3/8" Smith. Love them all. The 4" SP with Hogue after market grips(in my very large hands) is a joy to shoot 38's, 357 mags, not A joy, but...

My basket is pretty simple, 1/4" screen sandwiched between 1/2 a 2x4.

Like the shop vac idea, will definitely give that a try.
Makes sense. That could make one heck of a nasty mess! Not to mention potentially painful.
