I have a LEE autodrum powder measurer that has given me good service for a few years. I liked it so much I got rid of my Hornady powder measurer (unused) from my Lock 'n Load progressive after I...

As the title says, I am looking for a nice middle of the road load for a 45ACP load with a cast 235 RNFP boolit and using HP-38 for a powder.
Anyone have experience with this powder under this...

Glock 36. I owned one many years ago, during my time as a 1911 fan. That pistol converted me into liking plastic. It took everything I could put down the tube,...
Well, that sounds like I just might pick one brand and separate that out for when I want the Henry to look its' best when shooting/hunting. I do have quite a few revolvers, so those really don't...
I have a substantial amount of 357 brass that I am currently working through. All kinds of headstamps in the mix.
What I am wondering about is if the separation of brass by headstamp makes much...
I had a G36 many years back. This was during my love affair with the 1911 pistol. I am extremely sorry to think back about trading that 36 off, it was the perfect carry .45 for me, modded to work...
If you are not going to modify your grips to accommodate speed loading/a speed loader, then you are going to be stuck at that junction of reloading your revolver speedily. Nothing more can be done...

I will second on the 2400 or No.9 for your heavier boolit loads. They work well in my revolvers and great in my Henry, and Rossi's when I had them.

Only tip that I can think of with that 77/357 is to keep your OAL down so that it feeds through the magazine. That is the big limitation of that little fun toy.....and the reason I never got one. ...

I just found that I enjoy the 358 much more than the 308, and this after shooting the 308 Win for more than 2 decades, with several different rifles.
This made things much more simple for me in...

I know this is apples to oranges, but I had a Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle rebored by JES to 358 Winchester, and out of the gate it was simply perfect. And this is after putting WAY more lead down the...

I guess that I didn't worry about a different size expander(whatever was in the die), and I haven't had any problems.
And for what it is worth, I haven't measured the expander either.
Forum: Leverguns
I know this adds cost on top of expense, but call up JES and see if he will rebore that Long Ranger for you.
I was looking hard at doing this until my wife came home with a Fathers Day gift of a...

No argument with the breakdown differences via BLR/Long Ranger; the reassembly problems were well know for the BLR since inception of the design.
Many just choose to go with the BLR and either...

I concur with every thing you said about the 357 version. Mine is delightful with 180gr cast loads and they aren't low powered either.
Only thing I changed is the rear sight, I put a Marbles...

I am not banging on Henry at all here, but i knew it was a long shot for them to bring out a 358 Win Long Ranger.
There are just way more expenses involved than many think in running "just another...

In other words it sounds like shooter error, not rifle malfunction/ design weakness.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
When I do it right (no really visible lube on boolits) WLL 45/45/10 has done it all for me, from 357 Mag our of revolvers and leverguns to 45/70 out of leverguns.
I am in the process of now trying...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Thanks, guys!
I was looking to see if I had a problem with "old" lube (some WLL 45/45/10) as I have used it without any problems previously. Now I seem to have nothing but gumming up problems...

He is in need of a reamer to chamber the barrel. His gunsmith had a lead on a reamer for...
