The pp boolits are pushed through a lee .309 sizer and come out about .3095. but the edge of the paper around the ogive seems to be making the difference- contacting the rifling and precluding easy...

My .309 sized pp'd lee 170 grain bullets cannot be seated normally because of the very short throat of my H&R handi-rifle (30-30). Anyone have any advice? Reaming? lighter bullet? Deeper seating? ...

34.5 grains of 4350 is very accurate in my 30-30 handi rifle.

I love shooting steel targets, and the sport that complements my favorite firearm (a Ruger Super Blackhawk) is undoubtably silhouette shooting. When I knock down a ram at 200 standing I get a...

Yes, Thanks

due to the scarcity of primers, I am stuck with 2400 and magnum primers. Coincidentally, my speer #13 manual states that prior to that edition, they suggested 2400 with magnum primers but not to use...

Oh Yes! one of the best heavy 44 molds out there! You are right to use a very slow burning powder. 296 and H110 are similar. I was getting superb accuracy with 20.5 gr of H110 with a magnum primer....

I am sure everyone has experienced this tragedy: you use a new mold for the first time only to find later that the gas checks don't fit. I am dealing with this problem on a RCBS 145 sil. cast...

I am sending this post from the faculty lounge in between classes. I am 27, teaching Latin in Northern Kentucky, and proud to report that most of my students (private school) are conservative! Some...

We folk are tinkerers by nature, however, in light of all that trouble I wonder what sort of velocity you could get with a simple wad?

Can't go wrong with the classic combo: 45-70 for heavyweights and 30-30 for everything else. What really floats my boat is the 44mag. My super blackhawk (go figure) is my favorite weapon and it...

I knew there was something I liked about you. ( I am "sinister" myself, that being Latin for 'left') But as for ladle pouring I've found that my Lee Aluminum moulds don't mind a free pour, but my...

Sometimes you just have to vote with your feet. California is so far gone I cannot see the conservative constituents turning it around. Our founding fathers said this would happen; they also...

You will likely get this answer more than you would like: load some up and shoot them, note the results, adapt.

Your setup sounds good. I am sure you are aware of Lee tumble lube mold designs,...

for 45acp you will not be too concerned with alloy type, as you can shoot plain wheel weights with maybe a little tin soldering wire added. don't forget to size and lube!

sort of unrelated, but my dad gave me an old lead hammer after a garage clean-out and it made me about 100 keith 44's

First, you can obtain tin as well as a tin / antimony alloy from soldering wire. Most of that stuff contains tin and lead, but you can get the "lead free" that has 95%tin and 5% antimony. Try to...

As a Latin teacher my pockets aren't too deep. If you are frugal you may want to look at the Lee line of casting supplies. Don't believe the hype that they are of poor quality, I've been...

If you're frugal and do not mind smearing lube onto your bullets by hand, consider the Lee bullet sizers. It is simply a die that you screw into your reloading press and send bullets in nose first...

Ahhhrrrgg. I want your gun! Maybe if I ever get around to reboring a standard single six I will get back to you to see what worked.

I have heard that heat treating in an oven is superior to water quenching right out of the mold because the latter procedure creates hard bullets that soften over a period of time. What is the...

44man, you have proven my cynicism to be misguided ignorance. If there was such a thing as a shooting/reloading guru, I would simply divest myself of all my belongings (except my guns and equipment)...

I have shot this bullet in my Super Blackhawk with great results. I use NRA Alox or RCBS rifle lube. ( I never use harder "pistol" lube) Maybe if changing lubricant does not help you may want to...

Yes I am disappointed with my cast bullet reloads too. They continually make more than a single hole at distances of 50-100 meters.:mrgreen:

Boy, looking at all these pics makes me want to get pre-approved for a loan! However, I do not mind reloading in my 5'x3' utility closet. The acoustics are perfect for conservative talk radio.
