When I got into a new game, I would rarely listen to what I call "club shooters".
I found that finding what the top shooters were doing/using was what helped me the most. I would even invest in...
Mine is not as nice. You made a great deal on yours!!!

Thanks for the advice. Love tapping into experience!!!
I have 3 lbs of Clay Dot left over from CAS loads that should be perfect. Will start at 1.5 gr and see how it goes.
Frankly, I have been looking for one for a long time. Either they were beat up or more than I wanted to spend. I would have preferred a 6" barrel but at the price...well...I can always take a...

Getting geeked up about this. After reading the post by TNsailorman, I wonder if I need any powder at all. I would be OK with an effective range of about 8 feet. That would eliminate the over...

Steve, just won an auction for a S&W 14-3 to be my wasp gun. $350.
Got to thinking about loads and want to tap your knowledge.
That "dent" from the wad has me concerned so was wondering if a...
Some damn enabler on this site (Steve Urquell) got me thinking about wasp rice loads.
I went to Gunbroker looking for a sub-$350 beater in .38 Spl to play with. Found a new Rock Island M206 for...
I have not done the testing to confirm if there is an accuracy difference. So offer a simple opinion.
A roll crimp might cause variations in pressure if there are variations in case length.

Looking forward to seeing that. The only revolvers I have are .38/.357. But carrying around a like new 686 seems silly. Might need to find a beater for a "wasp weapon". LOL

Neat. Too bad primers are so darn expensive.

I may have seen the same article. Anyway...a preview of coming attractions:
I will be doing a study shortly of 3, 5, 10, 25 and 50 shot groups. I have acquired a program that will allow me to...

Accuracy claims on a forum like this are not always trustworthy. This is not due to people making false claims on purpose. Like the Rumsfeld book..."We don't know what we don't know". Let me...

You are justified in being upset.
I would get an estimate as to when the proper items will be available and if the timeline is acceptable return the items I do not want. If the timeline is not...

There are companies that will size bullets to your specification, and some will sell bullets that are not sized or lubed. Just another option.
I am not fond of casting but it does save $$$. ...

Another 1050 user (actually two) who has never had an issue. Something is wrong.
I have no experience with the Auto Champ but plenty with a Green Machine. If you cannot get the primer system...

Another vote for what Skipper posted. Lead is heavy.
One question for those with experience...Will a cement floor survive 100 lbs of molten lead dumped on it?

Adding another 1% tin adds about $3/1000.
Glad you found a method that works for you but there is value in keeping things simple. Waiting for cool down does not cost $$$ but impacts...

This.
It is what I purchase and works for punching paper or ringing steel with pistol caliber weapons. I would not hesitate to use it for four legged critter control. Expansion, or lack of...

Let the barrel and chamber tell you what works for the bullet you select.

Good story James and it is a beautiful rifle. Your efforts paid off.

You should try both methods and see what works best for you.
I will never PC but that is what works for me. I may be “wrong”, but I can live with it.
Too much to discuss to get into it...
