Another 10.0gr of unique & the cast 429421

I wouldn't use 10gr of unique pushing the 358429 bullet in any revolver. Most use +/- 7.0gr of unique with that bullet.

You might want to rethink your powder selection, it's far more important than a bullets bhn.

Those are some excellent looking bullets you've cast/coated. The high/low crimp grooves allow you to...

Ya I'm aware of profiles and wound channels yada-yada-yada.

I'm also aware of the fact that bullet penetration plays a huge role in what is perceived as wound mass.

No argument here, the 357mag...

Seriously!!!

You put all your eggs in 1 basket that's known to have errors & say some place is in the business to sell ammo.

Heck, I wonder what that software you use is in the business of???
...

I tested the hotter loads for accuracy and penetration. None were very impressive, but that was to be expected given the bullets were hp's.

I was getting +/- 835fps using p+ loads of unique and...

Not all bullets are created equal, nor are powders.

Several years ago I did a little testing with a snubnoses 38spl (2" bbl'd ca undercover) and 5 different powders/10 different bullets. These are...

The l-frame's are fantastic revolvers, extremely accurate with excellent triggers.

That 359640 pairs well with the l-frames. I use that same 170gr bullet in a 2 1/2" bbl'd l-comp 586 doing...

While interesting to read I have to call this one BS!!!

You managed to make a load for the 357mag that any "target" load for the 45acp can duplicate. Then you use a erroneous free app on your...

This ^^^^^^

I'm getting 2/1000th's+ out of the pc coating when I use smoke's john deere green.

16bhn & you need more diameter???

I've never cast anything that hard in the 40+ years I've been...

Whatever you get try to get something that's accurate right out of the box.

I've had decent results with springfield armory 1911's. More specifically their range officer models chambered in 45acp...

A place to start

I tried something similar to the bullet you cast. I swaged a 200gr hbwc that was fairly long bodied. I made a nose forming die...

A bit of a head scratcher:

Did a little testing in a 2 1/2" bbl'd ca bulldog. Used power pistol (8.0gr), a standard pressure load. For bullets I used a 245gr swc hp and a 200gr type III wc. The 2...

I'd be looking at the true blue in the 44spl's and zip in the 44mags.

For subsonic loads in the 44mag's, I have yet to find anything that does better than clays powder using 200gr to 250gr...

Yup, always comes down to $$$$.

Glad you fixed it for free.

Burris sells ring/insert combo's that allow the user to take huge swings at raising & centering the poi's without putting stress on the scopes.

+/- 20 years ago I was looking for the same thing, a pellet pistol to practice with. I wanted it for the wintertime here in ne ohio. I was a member of an indoor club 15 miles away. Just wanted...

Sit in a chair and shoot/practice.

This isolates the lower 1/2 of your body taking it out of play. It also lets you find the best forearm position, ability to lock your back and trigger control.

Fantastic!!!

I actually prefer range scrap myself. I do the same thing #150 batches makes #100+'s of ingots & also using a small deep frier basket to remove the rocks/jackets/etc. Then I sell the...

I wonder if my ro bbl would benefit/be more accurate if it was sent in and throated??? Here's what it looks like now/from the factory.

I probably should leave well...

It's my favorite 9mm bullet. People knock taurus pistols. myself I like the g2c and more importantly, my g2c likes that bullet. I cast a 8/9bhn hp with that mold. The hp has excellent expansion and...

Any of the l-frame smiths. Owned several of them over the decades.

My 686 competitor is a pure joy to shoot. It's nothing to switch from irons to dots or scopes.

I know, it's just extremely disappointing.

As a kid (5/6 years old) the family grew up with a ruger mkI pencil bbl'd pistol. We literally wore that pistol out by the time I was the youngest of 4...

The dimpled Federal Olympic Gold was good back in the 90's. Every time I see that ammo being used now (modern/newly made) it's at the club level and mostly 50ft indoor pistol/revolvers. It's...

Beveled bases also take finning out of play. More often than not finning doesn't have any major effect on accuracy. A bullet is swaged down in the bore and fins appear on the bullets base on flat...
