Love my Smython / Smolt 6 inch. This was my first revolver purchase and just got lucky.

In case you don't, VCI works by the chemical "evaporating" off the paper to then envelope the item wrapped. For best protection, put the wrapped item in a sealed plastic bag. Same for storing your...

I believe lead acetate is poisonous and can be absorbed through your skin! Be very careful. This is from the MSDS: POISON! DANGER! MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN....

GT1, sweet tweak!

My uncle gave me his 1940's 219 with 22 Hornet and 16 ga barrels. Great for ground hogs and bunnies / clays respectively.

I don't know if I have bought my "last" gun. Seems like there is always one more tugging at my wallet

At first I was expecting to hear about dipping for smelt in the rivers of Upper Peninsula MI and cooking them up for breakfast.

I am lucky man also. Lee classic with safety prime working first time every time small or large pistol primer. It does work better with consistent force and direction to feed the primer

Thanks for your comments. I have run out of ideas so will replace with new powder measure. perhaps let the Lyman rest a while and get lucky it will come back OK.

I have a fairly old and used Lyman 55. Think orange paint and old Lyman orange box. It has been throwing great shots of Unique and 2400 for some time. Recently, it has been varying as much as 4.7...

Smolt / Smython on a Model 19-4
148139

Last year, I bought nice plain base 358 and 432 dia LSWC. Website was bslbullet.com Can not find any trace of them now. Any suggests for new sources?

I enjoyed the Savage 219 postings as I also have a 219 in 22 Hornet. Great ground hog rifle. Shooting j-words due to some pitting in the bore.

Thanks for the comments. I do like the H&G 503 in 44, so will likely try the H&G34 with Bullseye.

Picking up my new SR1911 tomorrow so will be looking for cast boolit loads. Would you share your experiences with this noob? I have been reloading 38 and 44 for a while, first time with 1911.

Berrys Mfg makes fairly good inexpensive vibratory bowl. Cabela's has on sale every once in a while. It will hold a bunch of 44's. www.berrysmfg.com www.eabco.com

I load for handguns and 2400 meters very well, very little variation. Light loads of Unique sees a little more variation, but close enough for plinking loads.

A different approach is to sort by case length. My 38 spl cases vary in length by total 0.040 inch. I sort into 0.010 inch groupings. Setting up and loading by these groups gives me good...

I enjoy my 219; 16 ga for bunnies and 22 Hornet for ground hogs. Very nice pointing firearm.

My 19-4 does same with lighter loads of Unique and 2400. Not as bad with fuller loads

Browning Buckmark and Marlin 39A from 1950 are my 22's. Run through a lot of Federal and Winchester bulk packs.

As I was more interested in the leading, I did not try for accuracy on this test. That will come on the next trip to the range. Again, thanks to the folks at Cast Boolits for the help.

Just to let those who helped with comments, my trip to the range confirmed seating longer with front driving band closer to the cylinder throat eliminated the leading in 357 and 38 loads. Seating to...

As I am watching "Catching Hell" on ESPN, I feel a little like Cubs fan Steve Bartman. Did not want a firestorm, just a newbie asking for clues.

Thanks again for all your comments. My next steps are seating a 358429 18 BHN out so the front band is almost at the cylinder throat. Light crimp with 10 g 2400. So I have the boolit as close to...
