I thank you, for the information. Quite interesting.

Brian

Oh, and Happy New Year to you.

Thank you, Jim!
Very helpful.

It sounds like Lyman themselves got confused and started writing O'Neil's 400 grs weight after they dropped his bullet and reintroduced their old plan base bullet.
It was in a Lyman publication...

I have read Lyman's mold 427103 described as 350 grs and as 400 grs. Is this one of Lyman's molds available in two weights? Or is one of these writings in error?

thank you, Brian

Thank you, Gianni.
That clears it up for me. I had thought it was probably for the 351 self loader. Being for the 348, I now understand it's size.

Brian

I found a few threads mentioning this slug, but did not find a mention of it's diameter.
Could someone tell me the as cast diameter; or the largest suggested sizing diameter?

I thank you. Brian

I thank you, both for the responses.

Hello,
In Townsend Whelen's book: "Why Not Load Your Own" edition of 1957, an equipment manufacturer's directory lists one of the things made by Potter as being a machine rest for revolvers. When I...

I thank you fellas for the additional information.

Thank you, Ron Reed, for telling me the length of the bearing surface of your bullets. Mine as drawn thus far with an eighth inch wide front band, would be half inch.

Brian

Thank you for the advice, runfiverun. I have not yet bought my cerrosafe. I do intend to make a cylinder cast before ordering the mould.

Here are two versions of the 290 gr bullet, one with meplat diameter equals 60% of bullet diameter. The other has a 55% meplat. The 270 gr bullet has a 60% meplat.

Hello long range shooters,
I am wondering how much nose a revolver bullet requires to have long range flight stability and not be short range only as I read of the Wadcutter. I am going to have a...

Thank you, for the math Tazman. I thought the formula would be simple, but I could not think what it would be.
I had not guessed the speed would be nearly that slow. So that answers that.

I did not state my question well.
I am wondering if the rotational speed of the bullet is...

Do the rotating shreds of an expanded bullet have supersonic tip speed even though the bullet's forward speed is subsonic?
Somebody must have worked this out by now; if not Dr Franklin Mann, then...

W.R. Buchanan,
I just got off the phone with my Brother. He says he will not buy a press until one of his rifles sells to pay for it.
So do not hold your press for him.
Thank you.

Brian

Thanks, Nutz.

While I have this thread going, Are there other progressive or high speed presses to be recommended?

Brian

W.R. Buchanan, I will tell my Brother of your offer of the PW press and find what he wishes to do.
I Thank you for the offer.

Brian

AbitNutz, You seem to be implying a preference for the Dillon. Did I misunderstand? Is Dillon better than Metallic II?

Thanks, Brian

I have been reading favorable reviews of the Metallic II here in the forums. I have not yet found a comparison of these two PW presses one against the other.
What can you tell me that I might...

Seeing where the misses go is so very important. I once heard that anti-aircraft gunners of the US Navy during WWII were trained with shotguns shooting trap with a tracer pellet in the shot charge...

Thanks, PerpetualStudent. That is good advice. I have a back yard range, so I can shoot any time I can afford ammunition. I have a reloading press as I loaded rifle ammo a long time ago, but I have...

Thanks, Scharfschuetze.

I just added "The Art of Revolver Shooting", Walter Winans' first book on pistol shooting, published in 1900. This is a new paperback reprint. I despise these computer era...

Hello Scharfschuetze,
I could not get Jim Gregg's web page to open. What does LE stand for? Is it Limited Engagement?

Thanks, Brian
