At this point, spending the extra $ to finish this project along with the trouble and being a novice, I will be better off ordering one custom made. I posted my thoughts about ordering a Lee die in...

Cast wth mine this last week. It was 7 degrees part of the time. Worked fine. /Chris

45/45/10 tumble lube. Love it! I even have my recent Accurate molds made up in tumble lube design./Chris

I am set for sizing my cast bullets to .352". What I am doing is sizing .357 jacketed to .351. This is necessary not only for bore fit but for chamber throat fit. /Chris

My .356 is standard Lee die and both my .354 & .352 are custom made dies that I bought from a fellow member. He is no longer making dies though. I guess my next step would be to order a Lee custom...

I have a Lee size die .339 that I am trying to open up to .351. Using a dowel rod plus both wet/dry paper & emery cloth, it is taking forever! I have been using 220 paper and coarse emery cloth...

I would enjoy hearing about your vintage rifle project. Like hard to find parts replaced, parts made or repairs to come up with a shooter. Fellow shooters that helped you through the project!
I am...

I lubed all of my cast bullets for years using a RCBS Lube Sizer. Only recently did I switch over to 45/45/10 tumble lube on all bullets, both pistol and rifle. So much quicker and easier! Oh yeah, I...

20 years ago at a IHMSA match, my son was hit in the thigh from a 7mm copper jacket after bouncing off a silhouette target. My son was 25 yards behind the firing line when hit. He still carries the...

Picked up another pound of IMR4227 at the gunshow. Building my stash to 8lbs. Loading .351WSL, my powder is costing me 6 cents per round, primer 3 cents, gas check 2 cents. So thats 11 cents per...

I run 3.0gr Bullseye behind the Lee Ranch Dog bullet in my two Bersa 380s. Very accurate. /Chris

Back when I was searching for the best loads in my 1911s, I tested them in a Ransom Rest. The one load that stood out above all others being the most accurate was the 5.0gr load of BE with any SWC...

Over the years, my favorite load for my 1911's has been 5.0gr of BE. RCBS makes a 185gr SWC mold that I have used with this load. With the lead I use, the bullets drop close to 180gr. I also used to...

JD,
My 35cal Hornady checks measure 0.011 thick, bullet shank 0.341, inside gc 0.337. Nice snap on fit. /Chris

Kaw,
Keep in mind that you are not limited to only the designs in Tom's catalog. Be sure an email him with all of your info as to what you want. Tell him what you expect from the bullet, hunting,...

I have used the round tray auto prime units for years. Up until now, they have been great. But now, they make my hands hurt. So I have put in an order for one of the new bench prime units. Hope this...

Cast 250 .351WSL 174gr bullets, then 45/45/10 tumble lube, lay out to dry overnight. In the morn, add gas check, size to .352 and relube. /Chris

I have never come across a mod 1910 yet. Maybe someday I will. I have a AR brass catcher on my first 07 along with a scope. It takes a Weaver front base #17 and a rear base #20A.
I ordered and have...

Just for the record, I ended up winning the auction on this gun for $184. Anxious to get my hands on it. The seller never did respond to my questions. The only thing he did was email me, letting me...

In the past, I have bought from Midway, FS and MidSouth. Recently I have switched to Natchez. They are very friendly and prices are better than the others. Not to mention, Natchez has free shipping...

AZshooter,
Loading .351WSL with 174gr cast. I have no idea what I was using those mag primers for but I got em.

I have two full bricks of Fed. mag sm rifle primers that I would like to use up. My regular load is 19.5gr of 4227 with the cci sm rifle primer. Would you think reducing the powder charge one grain...

Funny thing...the 357mag is rated at 35Kpsi, the 357max is rated at 48Kpsi. For case capacity, the .351 is inbetween the two. The accuracy loads for the .351 are 19.gr of 2400 and 19.5gr of 4227 with...

After a first time session with a new bullet. I find about a 1.4gr variation in weight from high to low. Out of 100 bullets, I normally find 3 to 4 bullets outside this range and cull them. I make...

Picked up a model 07 Winchester .351SL today. Made in 1909. Should keep me occupied for a while. Anxious to put some lead through it. /Chris
