I'm starting to wonder if it is some sort of locker given the telescoping action, It definitely looks like whatever pressure the primer generates is intended to kick the tail out.. maybe when its...

Oh ok, That makes sense.. Paintball. This did come from LEO range brass. I can't imagine that these are cheap to make it looks like everything is machined.. No headstamps on this

I don't think so, from the appearance it is a live primer.

The other thing that I was thinking is that maybe its some sort of restriction device that would be placed in a gun fired and the...

Sorry, This seemed to be the most suitable forum for this to glean some knowledge

In a box of brass I found this strange 9mm round. The body of it is aluminum, it is primed and it has a strange...

Looks like I have a ranch dog mold on the way! I will hang on to the 105 SWC for now to see if it fills any particular void in my life in .357/38 or 9mm. I did load up some .380 with the 105 that...

Paul5388, Good info! I am assuming that you are firing the 105swc in a 9mm case through the 995 right?

I think that for now I am going to ditch this design for use in the TCP the COAL is very...

Gunnut no one here is looking to leave the range with missing appendages! That's simply not what this thread is about. The TCP is not a "blowback" design. When a .358 lead bullet chambers it is also...

Gunnut, No worries, this has been done before (this bullet in this caliber)I do agree its a bit of an odd application but the weight is right, it can be sized (don't care about the groove because I...

I hear you on the Bersa, I think mine would eat these SWCs seated long with no problems, Maybe Ill just have to reserve the 102 grainers for TCP only. Thinking about trying them with the short load...

I have come to draw from the immense reservoir of knowledge here. I have searched and have found some useful information but want to pose a very specific question

The Taurus TCP is a very tough...

How about bacon grease? Might smell good too!

Ha! Yeah I'm going to have to load up some .44s now for the ol Redhawk. maybe...

I am all but sold (haven't yet tried it) on the concept of loading 12 ga. with FFg. I like to hunt predators, and I...

Not too long ago I got a pound of FFFg free as part of a package deal. I was intrigued by the prospect of possibly loading some some .38spls with the stuff and giving it a go. I rolled about 60 of...

Be sure not to store the powder straight in the tupperware.. depending on the powder and the plastic it can eat plastic up pretty good. might even adversely affect the powder. Natchez has MTM poly...

Gotcha, I think I smell what you're cooking now! I have yet to delve into this but I know I am going to enjoy it. The advice to shelf smokeless knowledge make all the sense in the world with regards...

Certainly aiming to keep it simple, utilitarian and primative.

The terminology of "volume" threw me for a loop but if we are speaking of volume for volume match I calculate:

I guess if I look...

Why not ammo cans? 20MM ammo can works good. You can probably through ebay or elsewhere find Silica gel W/indicating beads which IMO is good for keeping the IN-can conditions dry and can be re-used...

Chambers, good advice, Thank you

What's this about "volume for volume" Is that the ideal loading in a BP shotgun (or anything else) and is it actually volume to volume or equal weight portions...

Good info, Yeah I don't know why but the whole BP thing is very appealing thus far. I've yet to ignite any except the few mini mushroom clouds I sparked in the fire place, but I feel the pull for...

Alright so first off I am hoping not to get too horribly lambasted for this but I acknowledge that its a possibility. Its very interesting how one gains an interest in a topic. For me I had...

Got me twice. I now follow the same method as previously mentioned. first 2 cavities, last 2 cavities gradually let the lead warm up the mold.

FWIW both the ones I broke were successfully welded...

Definitely good advice, I've always been somewhat put off on using anything purpose built for black powder. I don't live in an area that requires the use of primative weapons for anything that I want...

Only cactus out here no trees..... Might serve well for removing cacti!

Yeah, I think I might give it a shot, I know its not a "new" idea. Just looking for something constructive to do with the stuff.

Check Lyman, I think there is a load out there for 124 Grainers in one of the cast boolit print books. I've never gone that heavy though, most of what I have heard about doing so was negative. YMMV
