This is getting interesting. If we're not careful we may end up reinventing Pyrodex.

So just load black powder for the rifle and shotgun sides? Properly loaded black powder shotshells don't give up much of anything to modern smokeless loads and are more fun to shoot also. Too bad...

Sorry, it was bedtime when I wrote that. It's in parts. He figured out that the original glue was 2 parts acetone and one part glue. So he made up some with double the acetone to thin it out.

I have one frame like that, it does sometimes get a bit stuck and is hard to open but usually works fine. Everything else about it is the same as the later ones, so I'd say with what they are...

I just learned about these a few minutes ago. Had not heard of them before, but it looks interesting. Mixing the powder with nitrocellulose glue and forming a pellet in a mold. Then glue that to the...

That's a really good idea! Thanks for sharing. I knew the old Lee case lube was wire drawing lube but hadn't thought to do what you're doing. That's a great way to process a large amount of cases...

I have a funnel made out of a 300 Weatherby case that works well for doing exactly that.
I doubt you'll be able to chamber a cartridge with a bullet that big seated, so as you surmised, pure lead...

Today I learned that you need to keep your ball mill level. The powder kept caking up in one end of the jar, no matter which way I pointed it. Then it occurred to me to put a level on it. I had no...

I've wanted a Remington 14 1/2 for many years now, I used to see them occasionally at gun shows but any more it seems they are "collectible" and worth about 10 times what they were not many years...

There is at least one outfit making a pump action AR rifle, and there's no reason you couldn't do one in pistol caliber version as well. However, getting something like that to work with 357 would be...
Ken Waters said 33.0 grains of IMR4198 is good for 1200 fps in a 50-70 with a 400 grain bullet. You could start there or a bit higher and shoot over a chronograph until you got to where you wanted to...

I use the SAECO #305, which looks like a fat 311041, it casts out to .314". Paper patched up to .325". It's a slip fit in a fired case and shoots incredibly well in my old Marlin.

Only if the receiver is involved. Anyone can work on a barrel for anyone else.
Another good transaction with Atlas 366. Highly recommend!

It wouldn't be any problem to make a sizer for those but you'd have to have a press with the removable bushing like an RCBS since the bullet is as big as the normal die threads. Just make it like a...

Congratulations on your find! And you're right, they work really well. I usually buy every one I can find if the price is right. They're sure a lot more now than they used to be.

I was using .490" balls I cast out of some zinc contaminated lead, they are really hard and I thought they would be great. But they're considerably smaller now than they started out as. So I just...

But I thought 38 special was bigger than .338. He does say he can do it on his web site.

I had wondered how they made the dies so cheap. 12L14 is sure easier to cut than D2 die steel. How are you going to case harden it?
