Forum: Boolit Lube !
All of my cast loads are lubed with Ben's Red. That would require you to add a few ingredients though.

1bluehorse: What issues did you experience with Bullseye in 45colt? I just bought a pound of it so I am just curious? May save me some headache to know.

Ben, What is the weight of this boolit?
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Speaking of that mould Ben, I should probably get it back to you. I cast a pile with it this past Saturday. My Marlin .357 really likes it as well.

Thanks for all your help. I ended up pulling the ones I had previously loaded and reloaded them with a light charge of Bullseye. I haven't had a chance to shoot them yet as it has been rather wet...

Does anyone know what Complete Lowers are currently going for at Gun Shows?
I bought a new DPMS complete lower with a 30 round mag about a year ago and it has sat in my safe since. I am thinking...

I have both a Blackhawk and a Dragoon in .44 mag and both with 7.5" barrels. I actually shot them both today. I don't hesitate to shoot "ruger" loads in the Virginian. It is a well built gun.
Thanks for the help guys. I had a very informative phone conversation with 300winmag that helped point me in the right direction. I also have ordered a Lyman Shotshell Reloading Manual that should be...

There was one at the last Birmingham Al gun show in 357 Max. It was in really good shape and already wearing a scope. The price was $250 if I remember correctly.

Thanks for your help guys. I am going to pull the ones I've already loaded. I will load some with 6.5 and some with 7 grains of Unique and give them a try. I may also try to pick up some Bullseye...
Forum: Leverguns
Is 9 grains of Unique pushing a Lee TL 452-230 TC a safe load to shoot in Uberti 1866 and 1873 Levers? The boolit weighs 238 grains after lube. What pressure and velocity am I looking at with this...
Does anyone know much about this revolver? What is it worth? I am thinking about selling/trading this revolver or my Ruger SBH in the same caliber to get either a SA in 357 mag or in 45 Colt, or...

What are some good 45 Colt "cowboy" loads to try in my Uberti 1873? Only boolits I have now are Lee 230TC but I have access to several more. What works well for some of you Uberti shooters? I have...

"That's not bad shooting for a " Rookie "."
Well you know, Rookies sign the biggest contracts.
I just might out shoot you one day, but that will probably be when you are not shooting anymore....

I have a Marlin model 56 Lever that is a good shooter. It is not too heavy but has a full size rifle feel. I finally got around to scoping it yesterday and was impressed with its' accuracy.

I shoot just over 13 grains of 2400 pushing a Lyman\Ideal 308291 (311291) that casts pretty fat. I size it to 3.12 just to lube and set the GC. This load shoots pretty accurate and cycles the action...
