Thank you for sharing his knowledge. Sure learn a lot here!
I just started loading for my S&W DA 44-40 yesterday; just got a couple hundred 200 gr boolits to try out it out, from Whyte Leather...

I took 2, 2" long by 1/2" thick blocks and drilled two holes in each. One hole for a 3/8"dowel, and the other hole for 24" long aluminum tubing, about an inch apart on each block so the dowel and...

In Sept. of 1016, it appears Ben updated it to: 30% LLA or Xlox /30% Lundmark Liquid Wax /40% Mineral spirits (or naptha). Pour together & shake, no heating required. Sure works nice for my 45 ACP...

Ace Hardware in Santa Cruz, CA had the Lundmark Liquid Wax. Unfortunately, mineral spirits and thinner seem to be outlawed here. I had to use Zippo lighter fluid, instead, or buy a half gallon of...

These are a few that my late dad had used, found in the notes from his Old West Bullet Moulds Company.

Dang it, I just saw that you are going for 1500 fps!
My loads are only 1100 or so.

Have you tried Unique?
Works pretty good with my 1889's peep sight and 60 yr old eyes.

6pt-sika, I think I figured it out about the history of the different 32 Long Colt cartridges.
According to my Marlin 1897 Catalog, not only were there Short and Long Colt rimfire and centerfire,...

Well thanks for your reply.
Looks like I may be sticking with Bullseye and Unique for a while then. I just wanted to try something else for better accuracy. Maybe I'm asking too...

Well, since you mention BP and me not having much experience with BP (or substitute) reloading ( I only have used it in my 38-40);
I have a pound of Goex Clear Shot FFG that's just sitting on my...

I trimmed my brass so it would work in the Marlin '92 action, and have chronographed some 2.5 gr Unique loads at about 950fps.
I was thinking about XMP 5744, but since there is no printed data, I am...

I have a couple dozen.

His records show , from 1989, ( with his Old West .411-275 pb):
H-110 15 grs, vel....

The firing pin is not reversable.
There are two firing pins availabe: centerfire or rimfire.
You probably figured that out by now.
I think Wisner's has them.
