Which CSD wads? I am getting back into it again. 2 .600 RB or 1 .600rb with #4 buckshot.

Henry is zeroed at 50 yards, dead on. After moving back another 25 yards, boolits drop 6 inches on target. Boolit used was 250 Gr LRNFP. 10.5 grns of HS6. With the fixed scope, that would be...

Goodmorning to all. I have a question about the Henry BB steel in 45LC with a Leupold FXII 2.5x20 mm scope. I got the scope yesterday because the sights on the Henry are not compatible with my eye...

I really enjoy the insight/experience in this thread. I just purchased my first lever, waiting for it to get to my LGS. A Henry 45LC Big boy steel. I made my descision to go with Henry for pure...

Very good point rintin. Also thank you doug for the heavy/light boolit versus slow fast powder. I will more than likely stick with either 255 pb or 230 pb. I will load 225 hornady ftx (about 100)....

To be honest with you, I have only loaded the Hornady 255gr FTX to Ruger only, about a dozen. To me, and it just may be me, but being that this ruger has a 4 inch barrel, I wasn't getting the...

Thanks for the reply06, I really wanted to get out in the shop and start up a load, chrony it/accuracy, and work from there.

I recently acquired a Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt, 4.28 inch barrel. (not the 45LC/45acp) I have been doing some research for reloading. I have a Lee 255gr 452-255rf. The cast hardness on the Saeco scale...

Do the powder bushings come with it, if it is purchased new, like from Midway?

Thanks Mr Smoke!! I am looking at midway right now..I see they have one for alittle over 200..Also, would tere be any other parts to go with this? I see they have some type of charge/load holder...

Thank you all for this insight and experience. I have loaded 12 guage easier than this little bugger. I also used Lees vintage handloader tools for the 12 and had absolutely no problems. I have a Lee...

Good day everyone, I have been absent here for abit. However, I still have been tinkering with casting, reloading metallic and shotshell. I have come into a S&W Govenor. I dont really like firing a...

I have plenty of pure lead...very soft. I ususally mix antimony and tin to cast for boolits, but for BP I understand about it being pure. No problem. Just looking for some advice on a good pistol in...

Hi to everyone. I have been on CB for awhile casting boolits for metallic cartridges and Shotgun. I really enjoy the shotgun casting..buck and ball. I guess I just enjoy melting lead!! I have always...

I have tried both ways. I didnt find any problems either way. Although it may be a problem if you plan on storing them awhile. If I did wipe them off all i did was put some mineral spirits on a...

A thud sound. I tried it yesterday. It is dead soft lead. Looks like I am going to need to add a little antimony and tin to this. About 500 lbs of lead...so that will be about 12 or so lbs of tin and...

Thanks Charlie APC. Army OIF2 03-06. I dont think it is foundry either. I melted one down today, it statrted out at 85 lbs and I got 83. It had some "stuff" I skimmed off the top. Some of the ingot...

Well, i had a some holes in it from the drill....and I melted alittle with the blue torch, not much though. I also tried a cold chisel on it to"cut" around the diameter. Finally I took it and laid it...

61089I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this. So, if it is not moderators, just let me know.

I have 6 ingots that weigh 85 lbs apiece. I was told when i got them, they were at...

Thanks... I just acquired the other 5 ingots...total weight is like around 510 lbs. Although I probably will never be able to use this much...who knows. We'll see

No, not too worried. i cut a piece off, took the butane torch, small ladle and cast a double 150 gr .38. It is very shiny, and soft. i need to figure out the how, and where do I find part of the...

Hello to all, i have come into a 85 lb lead ingot. I was told it may have come from a foundry. I did a search on recycled lead and came across this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJj5iIwF8p4...

Thank you sir, i got you PM...
