I started the thread.
Thank you for the replies.
I went back after my 30 day wait for another hand-gun and the service six was still there. I own it now. Actually the model 13 was probably in...
Thank you for your replies. And thank you Outpost75 for your knowledge. I think I will try and get Service Six and I’ll post pictures if/when I do. I’m probably more excited about it now then when I...
I attempted to send a private message to MtGun44, but there was an error. Maybe his mailbox was too full of garbage from people like me.
I wanted to know if there was a difference in strength...
125 grain and 2.5 red dot is a good load. No recoil in a 40 ounce gun.

I really like 4227 as a fast rifle powder in 30.06 and 35 whelen. It's pretty good in 357 mag but Unburnt powder. I don't shoot bigger revolvers now, but I suspect it works better than in 357mag.

I think you can make a mold from wood. Might not last long, but then make a new one. I saw a guy do it on one of the history channel reality shows for a round ball. Charring the cavities prior to...
My NOE 358429 gives 176-177gr boolits with ww. My favorite 38spl load with it is 4.7 Herco. If I had unique, I'd try 4.6 and expect it to be the same. I also like the 3.0 Red Dot mentioned above.

The google searches from my desktop computer give me the same links, but they don't open as archives, but rather as open threads I can reply to.

Thank you for response. That did indeed open.

I often add the word "castboolits" to google searches I do. I get a list of threads whose links are to "archive" castboolits threads. For the past two days the links from google do not open, with a...

So Tula has 3 types of small rifle primers:

My preferred load with 148 gr. cast wadcutters is pretty light: 2.5 gr red dot seated to crimp groove with barely a crimp. I think you'll find something you like between 2.5 and 3.0 and they should...

Red dot is my favorite for lead in 38 special. I do find it "faster" than bullseye in this caliber.

I've been on the starline 360dw waiting list for 4 or 5 months now. I purchased a 357 mag handi from buds about 8 months ago. I've heard reports that the 360 brass will fit without trimming or...
My favorite 357 load is 5 grains of red dot with a 150-160 grain cast bullet, which I discovered by reading it was among other people's favorites. A light 357. I'd consider it a good range and home...
You can see the primer used and barrel length from the Hodgdon site if you click the "print" button (you don't have to print it). It is wsp and 7.7" for 38 special and wspm and 10" for 357. Someone...
