I do my accuracy testing off a Bog-Pog bipod rest. It helps ME absorb the recoil a lot better. Shooting from the bench causes serious bruising and soreness.

A friend gave me about 65 pounds in two pieces. The slightly smaller one was a lot lighter than the other one by a whole bunch. I used the cutoff saw to pull a couple of pieces. I ran them through my...

I don't weigh bullets.

100 rounds of .45 Colt, 250 grain Meister RNFP on top of 5.6 grains of Titegroup with a CCI300 to make it all go bang!

SMLEKID, I'm sure glad I stored the 452AA and the others in a sealed 20mm ammo can all this time! It still goes bang and I'm not seeing any difference in performance, thank goodness!

Doing it that way sounds like it might leave the same powder/air gap space as for a full length cartridge case. It's a shame you have to crimp into the bullet itself rather than the crimp groove, but...

Has anyone used/tried MP300...or is it MP3000?

I would say the answer to your question would be yes, it will work. However, I would run the brass thru a dryer first, like the Hornady or another type of dehydrator. The pins will fall out of the...

So far, all the various gun dealers I have dealt with in Illinois (Cabela's, and private) have required the customer to show a valid FOID, Firearms Owner ID, before they would remove a weapon from a...

The FTX brass is .060 shorter than normal brass for the .45-70. This was done so the FTX would cycle without problems. As for reloading it with a different bullet, you just need to be aware that...

I retired just over a year ago and the first thing my high school friends did was to take me to Cabela's over in Missouri. I'd been reloading for over 40 years and my three buds have matching...

Just out of curiosity, how long has Winchester 452-AA been off the market? When I shot IPSC, 5.2 grains was the sweet spot for a 200 grain semi-wadcutter. I still have about a 1/5 of a 3 pound can...

His website says turn around time is 12 weeks. Add to that the holiday season.... I would look for something mid to late January.

I bought the 2.5" Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Special as I wanted an effective, close range, concealable handgun for travel. I've always enjoyed shooting the .44 Special and it is not as abusive on...

I've been using the Lyman case prep center for a couple of years now. It has definitely saved the fingers and no more hand cramps. I have the five stations set up with campher, deburring, primer...

I used to shoot IPSC on Tuesday evenings back in the late 80's early 90's. The go to powder at that time was 452-AA. I ran 5.2 gr under a cast 200 gr LSWC that Lomax was producing at the time thru my...

183242I have a .45-70 Marlin 1895 GBL I purchased in 2013 with the MR lead on the SN. Wood to metal fit was tight. Checkering on the laminated stock was/is crisp. It tosses 3/4" groups at 50 yards,...

wish I still lived in Omak. Would have been glad to help you out.

I run my 200 gr LSWC's with 5.2 gr of 452-AA. The only problem is, I'm down to my last 3 pound container. Does anyone know of a near direct replacement since it's not produced anymore?

I'm on the last 1/3 of my 3 pound can of 452-AA that was bought back in 1987. It was my favorite for 200 gr semi wc's for .45 ACP IPSC shooting. Still no problems with it after being stored in a 20mm...
