Anyone using the R&J locking handles on their moulds? If so what do you think of them, and have they made your mould sessions any easier?

Ah yes tenderloins frying in the pan with onions, nothing better. Well done sir.

The Tom Gresham article is a good read and 100% right in my opinion.

What I am finding is that I cannot stay logged in. The little check box is half covered by advertising and will not let me check it off.

Fast to ship and well packaged even through in extra's. Great to deal with.

That is great information, thank you.

I am in need of a copy of both the Manual and instructions for the Lyman45 lube sizer. Just to make sure I set it up right and all parts are there. I have yet to receive it, so trying to get all them...

I see velocity increase in some of my black powder loads that were under to much compression. When I backed off in powder but kept the compression die the same, velocity increased and the es and sd...

That was quite an intersting article, looks as though curtis and harvey at least in the seive testing rated very high. first time I had ever heard of the Diamond powder though.

Don:
lot # is BPL15A It would be nice to see a stickie on the difference in powders, granulations, and powder cans [ect]. Or maybe I just haven't read through everything as of yet.

cajun shooter,
Thank you for that, gives a little more insight into the workings of B, and why the difference.

Any idea as to what years this container was used for CH packaging?

This one of my CH containers it is in 500G weight and says
Manufactured in Germany for
Nobel Explosives Company Limited
Stevenston, Ayrshire, Scotland
A subsidiary of Imperial Chemical Company
...

Well that sounds great. Gives me another reloading road to go down and have fun with.

Is that in burn rate only since it is smaller in size than Goex 2FF

I have a few pounds of Curtis and Harvey F granulation. Can anyone give me an idea of the granulation compared to other black powder. The reason I am asking is it says F on the bottles which I assume...

Thank you for the numbers. Looks as though I could use any of them. Next will be to see how they work out at distances past 200 yds. I can do 700 here at the house and the temps to stay reasonable,...

Ben"
The best I can do for powder here is Goex FFG. I have 6# of Goex cartridge I have been hoarding. and have 5# of 1F Curtis and Harvey but it seems finer in granulation compared to Goex 2F....

My next test will be by adding an extra .030 wad. just to see if the extra compression will tighten up the SD. Although the 67 grain load is very close to what I am looking for. What seems to be odd...

Well here is the first round of trying to get a closer ES and SD let me know what you think so far and what i should work on next if anything.
Started with a clean bore by running a dry patch to...

Don:
Are you saying I should be patching between shots?

I shall give it a try one item at a time.

I will give it a whirl and see what happens. Sure do wish the old eyes were about 60 years younger though.

Don:
Will do that, from what I read it should be in the single digits. Will these speeds and a mid range vernier tang get me out to 700 yds? Thats as far as I have here at the house.

Well now to try them at ranges beyond the 200 yd mark. And try and tighten up the sd a little bit.
