The venerable Lyman 429421 for plain based boolits or the 429244 if you like or need a gas check design. Also as a member pointed out above, the RCBS 44-250K. All have functioned well in my SBH, RH,...

Seat bullets deeper in case and adjust powder charge to reflect the higher pressure that deep seating will cause. I would try everything possible before modifying the rifle.

I do my best to ignore minor distractions. If I cannot ignore, then it's 'reloading game over' for the day. I once loaded a 10 grain overcharge for my Contender 16" .45-70. Upon firing the pistol...
I have a 9.5 inch SRH that loves the 429421 (#2 alloy) and 10.5 grains of Unique for an estimated 975 fps. This is a very accurate load for me, YMMV. Unique is kind of unobtanium for the moment, but...

The value of an object is what that object will sell for. Asking prices and selling prices are usually quite different. I should have bought a truck load of Swedes when they were 69.00 apiece. Ah the...

@405grain: I would add that the mineral spirits needs to be the REAL mineral spirits, not the odorless water based junk they sell these days. You need the stuff with VOC's Volatile Organic Compounds.

Classical music for me. Also enjoy 'Dark Cello' (youtube) music as it just seems to fade into the background and allows me to really concentrate on the task at hand. I stopped listening to talk radio...

My cherries and blueberries were dismal last year due to a couple of late frosts. Blackberries were abundant. Different bloom times I guess.

I have two lathes and a vertical mill in my home workshop, so it no problem for me to advance on my projects. I am not so convinced of my own skill set that I won't ask for guidance when needed....

When .22 LR was 15.00 to 20.00 per brick a few years ago, I stocked up to the point that I was almost embarassed...almost. I got over my embarassment when bricks topped 80 bucks. My advice: Stock up...

Prayers for Mr Clark's full recovery. And my gratitude to him for his service to our country in the USMC!

A pound of lead in the hand is better than 2 pounds in the bush....if you can find it. If you have lead, keep it! I have a local scrapyard that will still sell lead to me, but that could change at...

Thanks everyone for the tips. I will try Larry Gibsons method with propane torch. Hadn't heard of that, but sounds right. I sometimes use Acetone (out of at the moment) or usually Lacquer Thinner for...

I recently purchased two Lee 6 banger Moulds. TL452-230-TC, and 358-158-RF. I have not used them yet as I am heat treating (?) them on my hot plate. Sprayed the moulds with brake cleaner (the correct...
