Yes, from what I've seen, but by weight, not volume.

Okay, so my box of .315 roundball arrived (the only size available at the time that wasn't .451 or larger!) and, after upsetting a couple and trying to get a reading with my new micrometer, I've...

Okay, so it seems that I may be on the right track with the length.
At 1.125-ish (1.12 up to 1.13), I get some pressure sign with 3.8 of Red Dot, so the next batch will be 1.135-ish (same range as...

Looks like I'm adding True Blue, ZIP and Silhouette to the powders I'll be looking for in future.

Thanks,

You know, I may just order the double disk kit, or maybe a couple of replacement disks, (so I still have a full set of disks) and do exactly that!
Thanks for the idea.

Update time:
Still have not received the shipment from Missouri Bullet Company (though a box of 124gr plated I ordered from X-Treme Bullets came in last night), but got something better: The Wife...

She tells me that there are two reasons: 1) I'm a klutz and 2) we have two kids under 10. I admit to both of these, but I know enough to respect hot metal, let alone liquid metal, as I am also...

Yeah, I was always told that, unless you were talking magnums vs. non-mags, primers were primers and not to worry about brands.

Of course, I hear that for shotguns, it makes a difference and that...

Dang it! You beat me to it!

Some things just aren't worth the trouble. And I figure that this one is one that will work itself out. See below for why.



1 & 2) She has decided that she wants to learn to shoot. We have...

I got 10k Tula brand small pistol from DAGammo a couple of weeks ago. ( www.dagammo.com )
He's still got lg pistol mags and lg rifle mags left, as of when I write this, but you'll have to send him...

IIRC, the Modern Reloading 2nd Edition also gives a number of green dot loads. I'm not near my copy at the moment, so I can't post 'em here, but I recall seeing a few.

That's why it's a hobby - you can keep doing it beyond the "need" for more.
If you feel the need to justify it - and you do not need to beyond "because I enjoy it!" - you've given excellent reasons...

Oh, trust me, if I knew a month ago what I know now, I'd have ordered the .358-diameter, BHN 12 stuff instead! Unfortunately, the line is a month long and they're not letting people cancel or modify...

See now, this thread has put me in the position where I'm trying to figure out if
1) my old Mauser will tolerate boolits, or if she's too messed up to shoot 'em well,
2) if my No. 4 rifle likes...

I'm hoping that my wife makes the same transition that yours did. Her decision to start learning was a sudden (but very welcome!) change in attitude just after our state decided that we weren't safe...

One to keep in mind for future use. Thank you!

You know, I read that thread a while ago and more or less completely forgot about it when I ran into this problem! Thank you for the reminder.

I *had* been sure about the bore size, but now I'm...

This will be changing to ONE in the near future, when I finally take possession of the 7.35mm Carcano that my uncle gifted to me.

And as soon as I get to a range that will allow me to shoot...

First, let me say that's a handsome looking round, there.

When you're working up a load for that 356-120, where do you start?
I only seem to find loads for 115 and 124/125.

And side question,...

The fact that the Lee set will be double-duty is one of the "selling points" I'm using...

Thanks for the black powder Nagant load, nwellons. I can't wait until I get to try it out.

'Sifrid

Still out of stock.

Question, though, Midway charges shipping, don't they?

If so, I'll prolly save enough by bundling the die set (and FCD) in with other stuff I'm ordering from Grafs. (I hold...

Thanks for the response, HeavyMetal.

She claims to have two:
1) I'm a klutz - but I'm not so klutzy as to dump molten metal all over either myself or something flammable. Casting would take...

To those PMing me: OK, I get the message! I'll order the sizing die! Sheesh!

To everyone: Thank you for your responses. I guess the only question left is whether 12BHN is hard enough for the...

I dunno about the sizing thing. It does sound weird.
I'm watching this thread with interest - especially after your last question on it - as I am looking at this exact type of slug as a possible...
