I have three 25-20s; two '92s and a Marlin 27-S pump. I love the caliber, but darn If I can find brass. Remington, which is my favorite, has discontinued making it, and Winchester seems to be...

35 Whelen: Where are you crimping that 40 cal Lyman mold? I have that mold & use it for 40 S&W loads. I loaded up some dummy 38-40 brass with it but couldn't it to feed in my '73, unless I crimped...

I acquired three old Winchester lever guns a couple of years ago, but they've been sitting in a safe until just this week. One is an 1873 in 38-40 and the other two a '92s in 44-40 and 25-20. All...

I've got a blue Rossi '92 in 357 with 24" octogon bbl that I love. Loads and shoots almost anything I stuff in it. Gonna have to get me that ejector spring though. It sends the brass into the next...

I own a Win 92 and a Marlin pump in 25-20. Best squirrel caliber around. Remington has discontinued making brass for these guns making it challenging to reload for the caliber. Although I'd love to...

I've never come out ahead on selling a gun to buy another. I do own a Rossi 92 in 357 mag. Frankly casting, loading for, and shooting that rifle is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I...

Gonna shoot those in a 25-20? If so, 0.259" may be just right.

With Lee 2 or six cavity molds I've always found that alternating 2 molds works best in terms of both pace and temperature for good fill out., at least in pistol calibers from 38 thru 45....

i had a LGS order a blue 24" 357 Rossi 92 a couple of years ago for $400 plus shipping and the LGS handling fee. Fit and finish were excellent. Trigger needed some work. Fed it everything I could put...

For 45 ACP loads I cast with a Lee 20# dripomatic and use 2 Lee 6 bangers alternately (452-228 RN & 452-195 SWC) pouring 50/50 COWW/scrap lead (roofing, cable sheathing, pipe, etc.). Alternating is...

I re-size my 223/5.56 brass while watching football when the weather is cold or miserable using a Lee Hand press. Loading bench is in an unheated garage. I lubed up a few steal cases just to see how...

I've got a Taurus PT-145 that slugs 0.4565". Biggest mold I have cast only 0.454. I've scrubbed probably a pound of lead from that bore. Then started just using vinegar & peroxide to get ride of the...

I've been shooting since I was age 7 (NRA small bore), thru military school, and then into the service (Air Force - Security Police). Later, in civilian law enforcement as well. All involved shooting...

Got a Taurus 740 Slim that is just not any fun, Recoil is not really bad. It just bites the hand when u feed it heavy, full power defensive loads. Had a dog like that once.

Guys, thanks for the replies. Scarf, I too really miss PPC. 45 2.1, would a 9 mm carbide sizer die work? SAMMI specs for that case are .380 OD like the 38 Super and the 38 S&W.

I've read that when preparing 38 target wadcutter ammo with wadcutter brass, the cases should not be resized before loading. Back in the day when I was a peace officer I shot a lot of PPC...

Do people still drink PBR?

I've got a couple of, "go to," 2-cavity Lee 45 ACP molds. I've. cast thousands of boolets with them over the last 30 years. They're a pleasure to use & what they...

You have to feel good (after the soreness goes away) about all the boolits you'll be able to make with that stash. I, on the other hand, came home with about 200 lbs. of WW and 100 lbs. of roofing...

Since this is a levergun topic I won't comment on the accuracy of my Savage Model 340. What I consider accurate in a 30-30 lever action rifle would be about 3 MOA. Even with a good scope I wouldn't...

I use cigar boxes. Although I quit smoking about 4 yrs ago after my heart attack & bypass surgery, two local cigar store/tobacco shops still give me their empty boxes. With a cardboard divider they...

Bought a new revolver and was thinking of using a bore gave & micrometer to measure the cylinder throats instead of slugging them. Can't seem to find my soft lead slugs to push into the throats. Has...

Sam:

Put me down for a 4-cavity, GC, .360, with reg & penta pins.

I concur with 35Rem on the 4 - 5 gr of Bullseye. COL on my loads with this bullet for both my Gold Cup and my Taurus Mil Pro works best at 1.200". Best accuracy in both is at about 4.5 gr. ...

One discount tire store here in town will give me a half bucket every now and then. The manager of the other one said no. I saved up a bunch of steel and zinc weights and talked him into a swap...

For smelting, I use a 6 qrt cast iron dutch oven on a single burner steel gas stove. The stove is adjustable for either propane or natural gas. Picked them both up in a surplus store about 30 years...
