What powder are you using? Perhaps you're getting S.E.E. from the light loads. Try a different powder perhaps.
Also, get a real good look at your chamber, maybe do a cerrosafe casting.

I'm astounded that this thread is still going and that so many have learned so much (myself included). I've been away for a while but I just bought a new mould and going to start making some new...

I recall a similar problem with my late 70's vintage 30-30. Sadly I sold it to fund other projects before I worked it out. If I still had it I would do like Dubber and Beemer and get the throat...

You win some and you lose some. Give them another shot and see how it goes. They do make a beautiful mold
Both eyes open. You want full field of view and no strain on the muscles around your eyes.
You can cant the pistol about 30 degrees so the sights line up with your dominant eye.
Love this holster, it's what I use for my Shield. I'm a fan. I spring for the horse hide and I'm glad I did. Very comfortable and yes sometimes I really do forget I am carrying
I've not had the...
I like my Shield. I've only run about 500 rounds through it but not a single malfunction even with different brands and weights of defensive ammo, from 115 to 150 grain.
I will say if you carry...
Hah! I plan on doing the same thing using my Rugged Obsidian. I plan on TB but I also have some 4227 to try if it's too bulky. Thinking about grabbing the Lee 300 RNFP.
Might just hold out for a...
I use Universal. Love it. Sold my Hog Leg though and I'm dying for another one....

ALG enhanced trigger is great if you like a simple single stage trigger. About 60 bucks and they'll surprise you. If you don't mind set screws the timney has a really crisp break.

Yes 9mm brass varies quite a lot in thickness. This causes a few issues when loading it especially with cast boolits and most especially when they are sized correctly for most 9mm guns.
If you...
Many moons ago I subscribed to Gun World magazine when Dean Grennell was editor. I recall an article where I think they were Ruger Blackhawks with all but the last inch or two of rifling removed for...

38 Spl is almost the same diameter as .223, in fact I use a 38 Spl die bored through the top to push-through size 5.56 cases to eliminate damaged or oversized rims

45 ACP is the first cartridge I reloaded as a teenager using the classic Lee Loader. It's almost the perfect size and proportions for ease of reloading. Every man should have a 45 1911

Nice gift! A 44 CB Pietta got me into casting a few years ago. Chain fires are caused by careless powder handling. You can live the front of the balls and sprinkle powder on there and still get a...

THIS. I solved all my problems cycling with A1680 powder.
Try one of these powders:
A1680
H4198
A5744
Reloder7

Definitely not. I've shot many .30 cast boolits plain base, and actually shot a few GC designs without the gas checks using JPW or 45/45/10 lube. Some people even shoot cast at low velocity with NO...

There's a many few ways to convert 5.56 to .300 but the best thing I've found is the 2" mini cutoff saw from Harbor Freight.http://www.harborfreight.com/2-in-mini-bench-top-cut-off-saw-62136.html. I...
Well they sure copied enough of S&W designs for decades...
A de-horned carry pistol is nothing new and certainly can't be attributed to Taurus. But if they market it right, it could be profitable....

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy), so if it is not being used to exit the animal where is it going?

Diamondback DB9. Just too slim, recoil was somewhat unmanageable with the too-thin grip. P938 solved that problem

Because they don't make a Makarov in .44 Magnum!
