I'll add my two cents in-


I've killed well in excess of 100 deer. The hunt club I've belonged to for the last 15 or so years has seen an average of 20 deer killed per year (we are at 21 deer...

My opinion only-

I dip with Lee powder dippers to get close to my intended charge, I then dump dipper into a Dillon Eliminator beam scale, I then use my trickler to get the exact charge weight I...

I own a Ruger #6822 Scout. The only changes I made was sanding down the inletting fuzz in the barrel channel and resealing and replacing the bottom plastic with a Pacific Tool and Guage bottom metal....

Seems like there is no 'general consensus' on this. I probably can't go wrong with any of the 3 calibers. I guess it's shopping time and see what's actually available at the gunshops.

Luckydawg13, I live in Fairmount. About 25 miles due east of Champaign Urbana.

The only other twist I can think of is I would likely also purchase a carbine/rifle in the same caliber.

I'm looking into purchasing a new revolver. While I'm not necessarily recoil shy, shooting a large magnum like a .454 or .500 does not strike me as fun. The most powerful or recoil heavy handgun I...

Well I certainly don't know squat about the .500 revolvers but I will tell you this-

Following Westerns own published data for the 7.62x39 and 1680 powder resulted in me shooting exactly 3 shots...

I like Western Powders. I use a lot of it for jacketed loads. That said, there IS something screwy with their data at times. I've put my 556 and 7.62x39 projects on hold for now due to extremely high...

5% is what works for me so far. Lyman #2 is 90/5/5. 1-20 alloy is 5% tin as well. Besides pure lead for muzzleloading, these are the only 2 alloys I use so far. It was what was recommended to me by...

Both the Fed and Rem cased loads shoot more accurately then me. And the faster I push the wadcutters in this snubnose the smaller the group size.

Well I guess I was being overly cautious about nothing. I shot several of the Fed cased load over the chronograph. I got an average of 773.92 fps @ 10 feet. The last time I chronoed this load I...

In response to USSR's question. I am using 3.5 grs of Bullseye with the wadcutter because-

A. It is a 1.875" barrel snubnose and 3.5grs of this powder gave the best velocity. Actually this charge...

Yes I own a chronograph. I consider it indispensable for reloading. I would want the Rem loads to basically duplicate the velocity of the Fed loads.

OK, this was stupid. I know better! I guess as we all get older we tend to think we know too much and look for shortcuts. I had an "idiot moment' and I'm sorry I wasted folks time. I WILL start at...

I understand that this is for bottleneck rifle cases but all I could find on this subject is this portion of a thread from another forum I've copied and pasted.

"No. Not volume. But weight has a...

I've been using Federal Match wadcutter brass for a load I shoot from my 38spl Ruger LCRX +p. I only have 50 of this brass. I have a bunch of Remington 38spl brass. I trimmed a Rem case to the same...

Made 3 dummy cartridges with the RCBS 38-150-swc. While the cartridge overall length exceeded the standard 1.590", they fed just fine. Now to conquer my crimp problems with this bullet before I load...

I tried to do a search and came up with some answers but here's my question-

Carbine is a Henry Big Boy Steel .357mag. Carbine is accurate and a wonderful shooter with various jacketed 38spl and...

Cast boolit from appropriate alloy. Pan lube with White Label 50/50. Use wood dowel to punch bullet from cooled cake of lube. Size with Lee push through sizer. Load and shoot. simple and it works.

I don't know about the imports, but a modern Henry will have no issues with factory or handloads that don't exceed published data.

I own 747 and a 753 rifle. They are cheaply made pieces of sheet metal, plastic, mystery wood, and pot metal. But......................they are extremely accurate and the very last airguns I would...

Sorry but Beeman does not own Daisy. Parent company of Gamo owns Daisy. As for the 717/747/953/853/753, yes it's true they have all been dropped.

OK, here's what I've accomplished so far on this. I cut 357 brass down to 1.195". When crimped in the crimp groove, this gives an overall length 1.56". Lyman calls for an overall length of 1.553"....

OK, did some research. Seems this bullet design pre dates the 357 mag. It really was developed for the 38 spl. Based on comments in this thread and the research, I have 3 choices-
1. Crimp in front...
