I have used A#9 in 327 with good results, also RamShot Enforcer, very close to A#9. 2400 also works better for me than H-110. I use CCI 500 SPP with all of the above. I got more consistent...
I use 11 different single cavity moulds, 2 of which are Lee. They have been discontinued but produce such great bullets that I wish they were still offered. The 175 gr. 358 SWC and the 168 gr. 358...
I shoot a lot of 32-20 using an old Ideal single cavity mold, 3118. I fought the extreme spread/inaccuracy for years, then Trail Boss came along. 4.0 grains under 3118 and my groups closed up.

Last year I was wandering thru a gun shop in Great Falls Montana and spied what I thought was a 10-6 heavy barrel 4" 38 Special. I asked to look and indeed it was a 10-6. When I rolled the gun over...

That's what I was thinking. The pins extend a little too far into the holes. They need to be minority adjusted. Happens from time to time, some more, some less. Trial and error will get you a...

#1 is my all time favorite, sold off #2 and #3, purchased #4, it's OK, mostly.
I have a Cimarron 5.5" Ubertti in 44 Special; great gun, I got it for a great price slightly used complete with box, papers and Cimarron "Huckleberry" bumper sticker.
Taylor and Co. have every style...
I really enjoy using my old Ideal SC molds as well I have a number of long discontinued Lee SC. They are a delight to use, easier to maintain temperature and rhythm, all castings are identical and...
I've been casting for more than 60 years and I have no idea what you are referring to.

Is there a number penciled in on the inside of the right side panel? You are sure they are from a model # gun and not a pre model # gun? All this can be a factor in pricing. It's been a couple...
I fell in love with 32 Colt some years back. Picked up 2 really nice Colts at really good prices because the owners couldn't find ammunition any longer. On the left is a 1910 Police Positive and on...

It ain't that old, hell, I remember when it was Winchester 230.
Then in the late 60's it got "improved" and became 231
I have an Ideal 3118 with vent lines, so not all changes coincided with each other.

I use .323 in both Winchester and Marlin 32 W.S.
Work well. I could chamber .325 in the Winchester but it shoots fine with .323.
Just for the sake of keeping this thread alive: You can load the 32 SC using a grain of Trail Boss under a .311 round ball. Don't bother sizing the case, it doesn't swell when fired with current...
I have 2 Colt revolvers chambered in 32 Colt, Long. They handle the 32 Short Colt cartridge very well. 32 Short Colt ammunition is found irregularly at gun shows around the intermountain west. ...

Google "Rim Rock Bullets" in Montana, they cast and do custom sizing. Montana Bullet Works in Bonner does, also.

I use H-110 for my carbine, not a Henry. And I use 2400 for my revolvers. Just seems to work well for the last 40 years.
You can go to Hodgdon Powder Co. website for H-110 and the Alliant Powder...
The only Model 10 that came with recessed chambers was a short run of 1200, 10-6 that were specially chambered in 357 Magnum for the New York State Police. I own one of them. Marked 10-6 and 357...
