As others have mention, I couldn't tell any difference between the two primers that mattered. I load on a RCBS SS, so the spp's don't bother me.

It is indeed. My '57 39A is very accurate. Irons and all.

Yeah, shooting in the desert, I'm going to lose some brass, but not a lot.[1911-A1] Then, I bought a Pietta 1873 revolver in.45 Colt that came with a .45 auto cylinder.
Talk about win-win! Still...

I also use the round Folgers plastic containers, those square butter containers and anything else like those for cases. I don't cast my own, so, bullets are in the boxes they come in. Hornady,...

.38 spl--Unique
.357--2400 or Universal
.45acp--Universal
.45 Colt--Unique [been playing around with BE-86. Seems to be working well, so far]

11.5gr A2400 under a Missouri RNFP coater, std primer. Wonderful load in my Henry.
Another is 6.0gr Universal under Missouri 158 RNFP coated. But, that 180 load is pure magic!

I have a 1985, I believe, Ranger. It's as accurate as I could hope for. As has been said, it's as solid as any '94 out there. I no longer hunt, but, this one isn't going anywhere. You have a splendid...

OK, thanks all! I'll load up with 8-9gr Unique and see how things go. Any other bits of info is always appreciated. Thanks again.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thanks popper and iMigraine. Hadn't thought about a gas check. Are they needed with 8-9gr Unique and that bullet? Or, am I good? Thanks.

Loaded up some 30-30 rounds with 165gr RNFP coated[Missouri bullets] with 8 and 9gr Unique.
That sure looks like a small amount of powder in that case. I need to find a powder that works close to...

Will do. Cooler today, so, I'll probably load those today. Shoot Mon, hopefully. I'm not to hot at posting pics anywhere, but, I will report back with results.

I'll give it a try in my 30-30. Agreee, not any info for it in .45 Colt. Thanks GBertolet.

I don't know, but, I have two of 'em. One full, one empty. I put the empty one in my wife's China cabinet. Interesting result.:shock:

I have a 8oz can of SR-4759 that is still in perfect condition I loaded some reduced loads for a disabled friend. Sadly, Kerry is no longer with us. Will this powder work in a .45 Colt lever rifle...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Much appreciated smoked turkey. I have the Lyman #50, so my "close" was what you mentioned, just wanted a bit of assurance. 8gr Unique is where I'll start and probably go no higher than 9gr....
Forum: Cast Boolits
Just joined this forum today to get info on a load that I don't seem to find in manuals, altho, some come close. I have some Missouri coated 165gr RNFP to load in my Mod 94, 20" barrel. I'd like to...
