I have both, when my dad passed away he left me a ruger 41 mag and a ruger 45 colt. The colt has more options for bullets but the 41 is great too. Both have sentimental value and I like looking at...

125 grain about 850 FPS powder coated is what I have in mind.

The key I am learning is it dosed have to be Lyman #2 to work. Trying to find some Linotype to try. The calculator looks promising if all I need BHN of 10 then powder coat.

Banger how do you deal with tin and antimony or do you not worry about it once the hardness is right?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
I like that and it is simple but comes out harder than I need, when I pump up the pure the tin and antimony drop down, do I add tin and not worry about the antimony?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Not sure I understand all of that, I used the calculator to get the recipe I mentioned. I plan to powder coat.

I have a very good supply of soft lead, that’s great for my muzzleloader, but the kids shoot a lot more 9mm these days.
Looking at the calculator to get 60 lb of mostly pure soft lead to Lyman #2...

Are there any other alternatives to these? Would love to have one but in 209 primer config.

Ok. I was looking at the 1 inch which should match the barrel I have in mind. What kind of tuning and pros and cons are we talkin?

I have been looking for a 20 guage shotgun for my daughter and not wanting to spend 1k on one I was thinking about putting one together using. Allen inline action and a 20 guage barrel. I have a...

Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I checked the charges a half dozen times over loading about 10 shells. They were within a grain or two by weight. Close enough for shot shells. Once I get the spacing figured out I think I will have...

Thanks for the reply!
Change out the bushings is what I ended up doing. I found that the 1.98 bushing got me close, within a few grains. New problem is that that light of load leaves extra space in...

My daughter wants to do some black powder shot she'll shooting. I use a load all for reloading shotshells now. I picked up some pyrodex RS and am trying to get a 60 grain charge out of the hopper for...

Return on investment,, your talking to a guy who doesn't own a vehicle with less than 100k on it and I kept my Corolla to 450k lol

The time to savings was a thought as well. What makes me think I will need large quantities of ammo, as it sits 2 kids and a wife shoot between 500 and 800 rounds every time we go to the range. Both...

The progressive stuff is new to me. I was looking at Dillon's site they are definitely diffrent than what I am used to.
The price of the pro 1000 is much nicer than others. What really sets them...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I have wondered as well if more people unwilling to do it right and having an Internet connection are getting into reloading?
What progressive would you recomend?
Gotta agree with Taco, they are a tool. Designed to do a job first with comfort and looks an after thought. I was issued my first one 20 years ago. Wasn't thrilled in the beginning, remember wearing...

I have reloaded for roughly 30 years. All single stage precision rounds for my rifles. Early in my reloading I also reloaded pistol ammo like 9mm, 40 cal and 45. Back then it wasn't any cheaper so I...
Spoke too soon forgot about a old bottle of 231 that I had.
Thanks for the info. Looks like I am going to have to get some powder. I reload mostly rifle and don't seem to have a powder that will do this. I will order the recoil spring today.
