Arsenal moulds will make plain base and gaschecked in the same mould also !
That would be Dougguy at Cylinderhone. com. He can fix you up !
I've been using 8.5 gr HS-6 under an Arsenal 210 gr RNFP with great satisfaction.
Lipseys had Ruger make Bearcats with fully adjustable sights in blue and stainless. I got my youngest grandson a blued version for his seventh birthday and he was pumped ! That little Bearcat liked...
Pickup a copy of Lyman's #4 cast bullet manual. It has the exact imformation you're looking for plus a ton of other loads and calibers. Good reading and good luck!

One of the best allaround woods to smoke meats with too !
For me, using single cavity 22 moulds gets me outstanding results.
also using one cavity of a multi-cavity mould .
I went ahead and loaded up a hundred rounds of 44's with the Lee 310 GC RNFP just in case the Velociraptors want to invade or harass the neighborhood !

Find a good used Lyman 225438 and send it to Erik Ohlen and have him work his magic on it. I use straight ACCWW and there will be no crawling back to the holes with proper bullet placement. I use 11...

I too, like Bullseye loads but a couple years back when powders were scarce, I started experimenting with subs for old standbys. What I found was that HS-6 is agood replacement for Unique in my 38s,...
Check with Tyler Gunworks in Friona Tx, and see what they can do to a Bearcat. It is stunning and unique !
Bullseye, Unique, 2400 have been my go to powders for 40+ years but a year or so ago when powders were hard to come by I found some HS-6 and began playing with that in the 44 SPL. It has become my go...
I use HS-6 with 358429 in the 357, but absolutely love it in my flattop 44 Spl. It has become my go to powder in the Spl with all bullet weights.

DougGuy can solve all your 1911 throat problems muy pronto.

I always read Bob Milek's articles with much anticipation.
I have found myself wondering what Elmer would think of all the modern advances in the firearms world since he passed away. New powders, new bullet styles, new gun steels. What would he think about ...
I've found it to be very useful as a replacement for Unique. Back when powders were hard to come by I tried some in a 44 Spl instead of Unique and bingo, just what I was looking for. Went back and...
