I've only bought by the pound from a scrap yard.
The tire shops I've visited have just sold them by the bucket.
My main one that I bought the most from was $35/bucket. I've paid up to $50/bucket....

Fantastic news friend.

I go to the gym 4 times a week and there are many guys in their 50s that are on testosterone supplements to help with lifting and physique.
They have the musculature and...

Yeah, that kind of stuff is frustrating.
I'm very lucky. My local gun club has 9 different ranges. It's only 10 minutes from my house.
So, I'm picky. If I go and there's a lot of folks shooting...

That's no joke.
This is from last weekend shooting 14.5 grains of H110 with a 158 grain j-word.
But it's powerful and accurate, so I keep using it.

If it produces a fireball like this with a...

I've been going to the range every weekend and putting in some work at 50 yards with the .357 mag and .44 mag.
So the last couple days, I've been loading for those. Got a few hundred ready to go.

I can definitely tell the groups are tighter.
That is, until I shoot several groups and start flinching. lol

I have not tried to go below minimum with 296/H110. I have also not tried standard primers with it.
I wouldn't do it.

Is loading .38 special ammo an option?

Until reading this thread I had no idea that the 1st gen RCBS pots were so desirable.
You learn something new every day.
When visiting antique shops and pawn shops I'll be on the lookout from now...

Are you trying to buy directly from the Lee website?
I've never heard of Stripe.
I'd just to to Titan Reloading and buy from there. They have about everything Lee makes.

Weigand for the win. They're fantastic.
As for the optic, I like red dots on revolvers and Ultradot is the way to go IMO.

Here is what the mount looks like installed. You remove the rear sight...

Agreed 100%.
Not everyone you're related to deserves something from you.
I imagine we all have those relatives that we know would just flip whatever you left them to make money.
I have girls, so I...

I've never used BE-86 in anything.
My favorite plinking load in my 4 5/8" Blackhawk is Skeeter's .44 special loads, 7.5 grains of Unique and a Lyman 429421 bullet. That or 7 grains of 700X (I think...

Getting these .38 bullets ready to go.

I'm watching it happen to my father right now.
He'll be 77 in June and has dementia. He can't get around any more. He has to have help to make it to the restroom or the bed. His short term memory...

Spent about an hour casting some .38 boolits.
Usually I use Lee molds. I forgot how tiring it could be running an iron 4-cavity mold. But hey, I got a lot of bullets done in an hour.

Yes, I have had bullets cast for guns that went down the trade trail.
The bullets went back in the pot to be repurposed.

I loaded up a few rounds last night and went to the range with them this morning. I did just what you (and a few others) have suggested and crimped into the top grease groove. It was standard...

Here is an excerpt from an article written by Glenn Fryxell. No clue who he is, but wanted to give credit where it's due.

"The concept of designing bullets specifically for target shooting took...

I actually don't have any loaded up at the moment. I went through what I had this past Saturday.
I'm planning on getting the pot fired up this weekend and get some more loaded up.

It's a 6.5" Blackhawk.
Moving with recoil is the issue I'm concerned with.
I have other molds, but not another SWC mold.

Hey everyone.
I want to see if I'm thinking correctly on something.
I have a 4 cavity Lyman 358271 mold. It drops 150 grain bullets with 2 lube grooves, but no crimp groove.
I've been loading...

Sold

None of the above.
I put them in a rock tumbler before bed. When I get up in the morning, I turn it off and the balls are smooth as can be.
I do this with buckshot and with balls molded for BP use.

I like it.
That gun in .44 magnum with an Ultradot 30 would be the cat's meow for me.
