My old 1992 pamphlet has the same load as well.

I wonder if certain barrels might overspin or not stabilize a zinc bullet. Berger's twist rate calculator spec's out a SG of 1.5 (1.0-1.4 is marginally stable) to get the peak BC out of a bullet and...

Geese can be tough... you've got limited options if they're nesting on your neighbor's property. While susceptible to hazing, often times they'll just get used to whatever it is and without lethal...

I don't have a .32 but I hope I can lend some helpful points from my 8mm KAR mold.
I would not be surprised to hear there's some dimensional issues with the task. Mine drops fat with wheel...
Today's update, 0.6 gr of Green Dot (2nd case from the left) will produce 817 fps, 0.5 gr Bullseye (3rd from the left) will deliver 780 fps. The first case comes from the 1.1 gr of Bullseye, and the...
OK, some data back: the GRT data is highly suspect, 1.1gr of BE in the above configuration will not provide the 760 fps predicted, a lot closer to 1050 fps. Obviously, this is ridiculously...
Howdy all, I picked up some Rim Rock ~60gr boolits (57.8 gr, 0.508 long) for the 25 auto a while back and thanks to a few members boosting my brass supply, I've set about to see how close I can get...

Thanks all who PM'd I'm thinking my needs are met at this time. I'll be getting back to all.

Looking to pick up some 25 ACP brass. If you've got some sitting around not seeing any use, shoot me a PM and hopefully we can work something out. Thanks.

I'd try something out of the bug-a-salt lineup, maybe the shred-er, they look kinda thick skinned.

I'm of the impression having had the opportunity to tinker with hollow base conicals swaged from RB, that due to the repro manufacturers aforementioned habit of boring chambers undersized to rifling,...
I have a Mark 2 22/45 with the 5.5 inch bull barrel and my old man has a 6 7/8 inch tapered original config Mk2. I have found both to be extremely reliable with a good quality ammo and very accurate...

Axe or wedges, just drive them through over a stump.
Oh boy! A topic I have almost executed to completion. I have assembled a few rounds of .38 in Remington cases with about 16gr (20gr spout on the flask) of Pyrodex P. [While I'm biased against the...

Could be a good deal though if I recall correctly, ice cream machines have a slower rpm but a bit more torque in the drive. It's probably close enough though and $7 makes it worth experimenting I'd...

I suspect you might get a bias polling this group. I carry one wherever I'm legal doing so. I started out with Swiss Army back in elementary days and would ritually rotate it out of my pocket every...

That makes a lot of sense to me. Heartwood having different chemical composition than sapwood and the visual differences indicating as much. Given their ratio is somewhat dependent on resources...

My apologies, I should have been less vague. I intend to load a up at least 20 and evaluate bore condition after consistent firing. I don't anticipate being able to for a bit, staring down the barrel...

Dragging this back from the dead... I finally got the opportunity to shoot the rounds last mentioned. At 1950 fps with a .310 diameter in my 336 I did not see any leading with them. I'll at some...
I wouldn't worry here Circle Fly has enough variation for antique gauges and muzzleloading shotguns that I'm sure something would fit if the hull were a little oversized.
The general con I see in other posts and in some manuals is the plastic won't hold up well to the higher heat of black powder. If it's a good deal, that may not be as much of a concern to you. Having...

17gr 2400 with Lee 255 was also my load, had a 20" 1892 clone as well. It was pretty substantial, had an opportunity to shoot it side by side with a Ruger M44 and there wasn't a lot of difference in...

According to Rotometals website for their non-lead alloy:
This ratio of~ 87.25% Bismuth, 0.75% Antimony and 12% Tin is the best ratio we have come up with as a substitute for lead. This alloy...

From the get-go, I'd say you're going to be fine since your glycerin concentration is going to be relatively low within the lube in the first place, it likely won't all convert, you won't inhale all...
