You're off to a good start!
Like Rancher suggested, you might want to pre-warm the mold up a good bit before beginning to cast.

Leo, that didn't happen in La Follette, did it?

I was just gifted a old-style Plumber's furnace. It was clogged, but after a 90% tear down and clean up, removal of the lead drippings in the nozzle, it appears as it will function as designed -...
This being the case, it would be great if Ruger (the company) produced a Security-Six sized frame using the Redhawk design, and called it the "New Security Six" or some such...

For those that lament scalper's prices, the only cure is to refuse to pay scalper's prices. They are in it for the profit, no profit = no scalping; perhaps even dumping their 'inventory' at closer...

Broke out a new top punch for my 450, it's a lyman #8. It puts the cutest little 'nipple' (for want of a better word) on the end of every boolit I size with it, due to a small hollow in the center...

Welcome back to the fold, fairview.
I don't know of a finer group on the 'net as the one here. I'm sure you'll enjoy this additional 'dimension' to the sport.

You might try the 45/45/10 mix of tumble lube, which seems to have helped some folks eliminate (avoid) minor leading at pretty good speed. It's equal parts LLA and Johnson's Paste Wax, + 10%...

Federal produces a bunch, as well as Rem. and Winchester. Wish I had production figures, but never found them posted.
Anyway, CCI + Fed + Rem + Win + whoever else, = a bunch o' .22 ammo...

People will always, always, try to profit opportunities available to them. The .22 ammo scalpers are only going to stop when this one condition is met: people quit buying it from them. When...
Were I buying a powder just for the 357 mag, I'd choose between 2400 or W296/H110, with the 2400 being more 'versatile'. The 2400 will often not require a mag primer, whereas most or all the...
Thanks, everyone. Lots of good info to start out.
I'm going to try some 210 swc's out over 8gr. Unique. Let you know how it goes!
I wondered if anyone would chime in with a 231 load. 231 works well in 45 colt loads, thought it might be a good possibility for the 41.
How about wc820? Anyone using it?
6.5 reddot? That's a good idea for a plinkin' load! How's the accuracy?
Outstanding experiment and test results. I look forward to your follow ups!
Thanks,
Tristan
I asked this question in the CB favorite loads section, but I'll ask again here to get more coverage...
What's your favorite loads, both full and mid-power, for the 41 mag?
Hopefully, there...

Well, I missed bidding on one yesterday, but I'll keep my eyes open... Thanks for the information.

Might the exterior be improved with a coat of cerrakote or even Krylon hi-temp BBQ paint?
Like you said, the price was right! Maybe someone has a 22mag reamer you can borrow.
