I have been making BP for about 11 months now. I use a little different method but I get a very good end result. As far as cartridge grade, I use mine in my 45-70 Rolling Block. 65gr under a 500gr...

How about checking the adjustment screw located on top of the handle thingy. Turn it CCW. and see if that helps.

+1 on the porn while reloading. For that matter don't watch porn while you're eating Cheetos either. All kinds of crazy things can happen. [smilie=l:

I've had great luck with it but it's getting time to make another purchase. I think I'll try the Xlox this time.

Wow! I thought my 6-06AI was a wildcat! That must be quit a boomer!

I guess that's the other thing, weather I spin them in my cordless drill or just use my fingers, I always pull the shades down and turn down the lights.

DD, what the heck are you loading that...

Yep, that's how I do 300RUM. I try to put the flame in exactly the same place each time and count to six. Seven when doing the 300RUM.

Wow that looks fun, I'm game for 2011!

Sucks man!!! I see it all too often here on the rez. Been enough of it in my family too.

I agree totally! I've found some Lee stuff I didn't like at all. (Lee Loadall) But they make stuff that a working man can afford and some of their stuff really is good. I have Redding, Forster,...

I used to turn my nose up at Lee dies. My Dad bought a few sets and he bought me some too. I didn't use them until after he died last year. I was gearing up for a tactical match that had a long...

I might be doing it all wrong but it's worked pretty good so far. I spin my brass in a cordless drill and heat it with a torch for 6 seconds then quench it. I know, not very scientific but that's...

+1 You don't have to spend a lot to get started at all. A lot of the stuff can be gotten at a thrift store. The camp stove is a great idea!!! Also have to agree with Fryboy, I should have...

Don,
the OP (me) shoots alone mostly at an LE gun range or at Goose Creek Tactical Range, where no one shoots or has even seen a rolling block but me. (mostly all AR/M4 guys, LE, Civilian...

Not a stupid question at all! Actually, no you don't need one, but they say you don't have to size your bullets with the micro groves. I have gone to micro groves on all my pistol bullets except my...

Yep, I haven't really heard a good story about a sub yet. I have had good luck so far but don't feel like I want to push my luck. Of course, my barrel isn't an original, it's a Shilen, so it will...

Sorry, no I just used large rifle primers. It was a pretty moderate load with no signs of high pressure. I used cards cut from a box of saltine crackers that measure .030 exactly. I used a 45ACP...

I had twenty rounds loaded up with 777 and we were in a blizzard warning so I decided to get out and shoot em up before the weather got bad. It was 12 degrees and the wind was picking up pretty...

Baaaaahahahahaha! Good one, I peed a little!

Wow, thanks guys! I'm out working and decided to find some internet signal and see what's going on out there. It's been pretty quiet on the rez so far tonight but in about a 1/2 hour all h3ll will...

Semtav, Thanks, I knew nothing about 777 but tried some loads and posted the results. I didn't ask for any advice, just letting people know what my findings were. I got flamed by one of the big...

I guess I'll start off by saying that I wasn't asking for a load or advise. Just stating what results I had gotten using 777 ffg in my 45-70 and in my Navy. I didn't ask where to get BP as I had a...

I'm pretty new to the BP scene actually. I've been handloading since 1990 unless you count the years camped out beside my Dad as he loaded shotgun shells on his old Herters press. Those days, my...

Thanks Don, I'm waiting now for confirmation that my buddy is picking up a case and splitting it with me.

Patman: 777 is a bit more powerful than BP and you can't pack a 45-120 case full of that...

I live in South Dakota and finding the Holy Black is nearly impossible. I have a buddy that's going to split a case with me when he gets down to Nebraska but for now, I decided to try Triple 7. ...
