45/45/10 tumble lube. Love it! I even have my recent Accurate molds made up in tumble lube design./Chris
I am set for sizing my cast bullets to .352". What I am doing is sizing .357 jacketed to .351. This is necessary not only for bore fit but for chamber throat fit. /Chris
My .356 is standard Lee die and both my .354 & .352 are custom made dies that I bought from a fellow member. He is no longer making dies though. I guess my next step would be to order a Lee custom...
I have a Lee size die .339 that I am trying to open up to .351. Using a dowel rod plus both wet/dry paper & emery cloth, it is taking forever! I have been using 220 paper and coarse emery cloth...

I would enjoy hearing about your vintage rifle project. Like hard to find parts replaced, parts made or repairs to come up with a shooter. Fellow shooters that helped you through the project!
I am...

I lubed all of my cast bullets for years using a RCBS Lube Sizer. Only recently did I switch over to 45/45/10 tumble lube on all bullets, both pistol and rifle. So much quicker and easier! Oh yeah, I...

20 years ago at a IHMSA match, my son was hit in the thigh from a 7mm copper jacket after bouncing off a silhouette target. My son was 25 yards behind the firing line when hit. He still carries the...

Anxious to hear back from both you guys. Hope you all find your .351 barrels. /Chris

I would greatly appreciate hearing about it, if you find it! Besides the barrel, I am in great need of a TRIGGER SPRING! None of the online parts houses have one available. /Chris

Picked up another pound of IMR4227 at the gunshow. Building my stash to 8lbs. Loading .351WSL, my powder is costing me 6 cents per round, primer 3 cents, gas check 2 cents. So thats 11 cents per...
I run 3.0gr Bullseye behind the Lee Ranch Dog bullet in my two Bersa 380s. Very accurate. /Chris
Back when I was searching for the best loads in my 1911s, I tested them in a Ransom Rest. The one load that stood out above all others being the most accurate was the 5.0gr load of BE with any SWC...
Over the years, my favorite load for my 1911's has been 5.0gr of BE. RCBS makes a 185gr SWC mold that I have used with this load. With the lead I use, the bullets drop close to 180gr. I also used to...

I have never come across a mod 1910 yet. Maybe someday I will. I have a AR brass catcher on my first 07 along with a scope. It takes a Weaver front base #17 and a rear base #20A.
