    I won't say it's impossible. The construction of a metallic case primer is such that if the pocket is a little loose, the cup might move and compress the pellet against the anvil when the case...

    I just came here for that exact purpose.

    First: if you have a choice, use screw-on PVC/ABS pipe at least for the end where the shell goes; I found the interference fit/glue-on cap got so tight...

    Wax paper was suggested early in this thread, it should have almost identical effect: adding thickness on the wad diameter to keep the powder where it belongs, without affecting column height...

    This sounds a lot like "We don't use these because they aren't good. They aren't good because we don't use them." A circular argument, which (to me) is a red flag that someone hasn't actually...

    It's an option, I do have a roll crimper that fits in a drill chuck. The trimming shortens the hulls, though, and then I'm back to having to either find 2 1/2 loads for the powders I have (and buy...

    Well, I bought a five foot piece of 3/4 Schedule 40 PVC pipe this afternoon, along with a tee and two caps to fit (and checked fit with a fired hull before laying down any money). For around $12...

    I did in fact select loads that had been pressure tested and were under 9000 psi. This is for skeet/trap, there are restrictions at the range I was visiting (7 1/2 max shot size, 1 1/8 ounce max...

    Correct. This apparently works with proper nitro card overpowder wads (as used in old style fiber wad loads or muzzleloading shotguns), but not so much with the bingo chips (which none the less work...

    Unfortunately, anywhere I could do this is more than an hour's drive away from home. Plus, that wastes the primers, powder, wads and shot.

    It does eliminate shortening the hulls, though, so I'll...
  10. I screwed up... Now I need to pull down 47 shells.

    I've just started reloading 12 ga. a couple weeks ago. Got a Load All II, hulls, primers, wads, powder, shot, more hulls, different wads...

    I bought a couple bags of Fiocchi new, unfired primed...

    I'm still pretty happy with my Mosin-Nagant. It's a 1942 Izhevsk 91/30, with all the goodies ATI got with them, and I paid $120 at a local gun store (that was about ten years ago). It shoots well...

    I've got an H&R 5-shot revolver chambered in .32 H&R (NOT .32 H&R Magnum, .32 H&R was a BP round between .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long in both length and power, predating the latter by 4-5 years) -- made...

    I've read what pretty authoritative seeming opinions that the Soviets specified the Makarov round specifically so that their pistols could use captured .380 NATO ammunition, but NATO pistols couldn't...

    I see a potential very large problem in the illustration: the 7.62 CT and 6.5 CT look physically interchangeable. If you load the wrong rounds into the right magazine, very bad things could happen...

    The 7.62x54R and 7.62x53R are the same round. The 7.62x43R was created in Finland after they rebarreled a bunch of captured Russian Mosin Nagants to .308 bore (instead of the .312 or so that's...

    I'd suggest that if you have H&R top-break revolvers made before the 1904 switch to smokeless proof, they almost certainly aren't chambered for .32 S&W Long; H&R only chambered for that round after...

    Shooting high is very common in 91/30 straight from the arsenal. They were sighted for a belt buckle hold, to give torso hits at ranges from 100 to 300 meters without adjusting the rear sight. They...

    Paper patch a revolver?

    I recently acquired a ca. 1891 H&R "large frame" top break in .32 S&W -- it's a black powder only gun, several years earlier than the 1904 introduction of H&R revolvers designed for smokeless...

    Must be nice to be that lucky. Wonder if he bought a lottery ticket?

    Leadman, I presume by "slightly newer" you mean post-1904, with the chambering stamped on the left side of the barrel. Revolvers old enough not to have that stamping were only designed and proofed...

    I'll add one more. My Pietta '58 Remington repro shoots round balls better with a full load (40 gr. equivalent, lube pellet, and .454 round ball) than any lighter load down to 25 gr. --...

    I got the tools today to cut my card wads and remove the factory crimp from the cases (they're pretty ugly after pulling the bullets), so I should be able to get a few cases loaded this weekend...

    Thanks for the suggestion, BNE, but given I want to shoot soft lead in the old BP revolver and don't have a powder coat setup anyway, I think I'd prefer to stick with muzzle loading balls or...

    The top breaks made after 1904 were proofed for factory .32 S&W (and .32 S&W Long, where chambers accept it) smokeless loads, and are safe with those loads. From my reading, that applies only to...
