    There is data in the Lyman 41 but how useful it is, I don't know. Strictly for historical information, and not at all suggested for use, here's what they said back then: In the 357 Magnum, Only...

    RL-7 did not work well for me in the 45-70 in my Marlin CB. I had much better results with 2400 and 3031, and 10 grains of Red Dot was a nice plinker.

    It has been over 40 years since I last loaded any 25 ACP. I am rediscovering why. Those dinky cases are a major pain to handle, all slick and shiny from the brass cleaner. Can you bend and...

    In my own loading of the 32-20, I did not use the LEE powder through die to expand, but only because the relatively weak case necks would crumple sometimes. I use an RCBS set and a Lyman 55 powder...

    There are several 32-20 boolits that work well in the 327. I have used the 311-419, the 311-465 (not for the Single 7 though,) the 311-316, and the venerable 311-008 (aka 311-8). I will say that my...

    The Ruger Speed and service sixes only came with 2 3/4 inch barrels; the K frame 357 Smiths were 2 1/2 -3 inches, but truth to tell, I'd forgotten about the 327s. They are honest 2 inch barrels. I...

    I went through exactly what you are describing8 or 9 years ago when I got my Model 71. The 358 boolits probably won't work without resizing the nose. It will jam in the rifling. The Browning...

    RCBS spec'd their bp cartridge boolits with 10-1 lead/tin mix. I will bet that your boolits don't have that much tin.
