We used Blue Dot for decades and it did well. We were using Power Pistol in 9mms and after trying it in the 10mm, we never looked back. That is about the perfect balance of burn rate and case...

I am curious how the bullets will group. Our 460 can group under 2" at 100 yards with 200 grainers but even going to 240 the groups open up to about 3". We shoot 2 cast; a 265 and a 310. With the...
In 9mm it is hard to beat a 147 HP. They don't have to go that fast, 1000 fps or even a little less works fine. The FBI test protocol is still the most common test for the key feature, penetration....
Shot a lot of 680 but not much 630. 680 must have been more popular because it was replaced by 1680 but I don't recall a replacement for 630.
Just started shooting 6mm cast, NOE 245-74-FN and very pleased so far.
I have had some success with fast powders but it seems more medium burning powders work better for me. This is a 30-30 Win, 99 Savage, @ 50 yards with iron sights. ...
Never shot 230 HP but a lot of 230 FMJ. Tried all the usual powders: Bullseye, WST, 231, Titegroup, etc and found Clays would always have the best groups. This is a typical practice 50 yard hardball...
I used to have a perfect setup with our own range and a mechanical rest we used for 50 yard testing. Bullseye shot good in everything but not the best in anything. WST with cast SWCs was consistently...
I loaded for our 350 using the RCBS mold. It shot well with 4227 and it did the best sizing to 0.356".
WST does work well in 45 ACP target loads and I have had good luck using it in 32 S&W Long. WSF is slower burning and it would probably develop a little more velocity if that is what you prefer.
That makes sense. I have a similar M70 from a gun show, what looked like an ISU M70 because the receiver was factory set up for clip usage and the deep belly match stock that was ISU standard....
This is very helpful. The 6x47 is almost the same case capacity as the 6PPC. I have 3031 on hand and the Hornady manual for a 75 gn jacketed bullet is showing a starting load of 20.8 for the PPC and...
I selected the flat nose because I kept thinking the shorter it is the easier to stabilize. The PPC barrel is slow 1 x 14 I think so the shorter the bullet, the better. Also of course a suggested...
As the title says, looking for any information from folks who have shot cast bullets from a 6 PPC. I just picked up a NOE mold 6 mm 75 grain FPGC. I found some information for 243 and 6mm/244 Rem...
I acquired a decent quantity of the SP brass for free so I thought I would use them to practice or shoot in matches where you lose brass in the grass. However when testing accuracy at 50 yards, the...
We've had a LC9 for years. The trigger is heavy enough and with the safety, it is very safe to carry. The accuracy is very good for what it is and it was inexpensive to buy. Great piece for concealed...
We have 4 in 10mm; 2 revolvers and 2 pistols. The NOE 200 grain bullet works very well. In fact, it groups just over 2" @ 50 yards from the Ruger SRH. If we had to go to just one bullet that would be...

Ours needs a minimum of 1.16" OAL and a max of 1.53". We shoot 32 S&W out of it so long as it makes minimum.

This is what we got from our 20" Henry. For comparison we also shot them from a 327 GP100, 4.2" barrel. The 100 grain SP is the factory Federal round.

Love the 27 Smith. Ours is well made and very smooth action. I chuckled about the 22 holes. I do the same thing with my Bullseye practice targets. Shoot a 22 round and then center fire on the same...
As posted here, a lot of powders will work. However for accuracy I was using WSF with pretty good results but switching to Power Pistol beats WSF handily. Using a good 9mm we are at or under 2.5"...

We have a 375 Win and 375 SM revolver. The NOE 235 FPGC works great in both. This bullet has been the most accurate of all we tried.
We had a Colt 1911 "38 Mid Range" and a 52 Smith. We still have the 52 Smith. :) The 52 is accurate but never got it down to 2" @ 50. The best groups were in the 2.5" range. The 52 is a great...

We love ours. It is an early model with the tang sight. Shoots great!
