I have one of the M&P 340s. It is slightly heavier due to the steel cylinder vs titanium. It has never seen a 357 round but has seen plenty of 38 special loads. It usually is loaded with either...

I had loaded up several different loads in 32 S&W Long, 32 H&R, and even 38 Super using Rem 1-1/2 SPP. Yesterday I noticed many of these primers in the 32 loads were pierced. The 32 S&W Long loads...

Hodgdon lists a few 2-1/2” loads in their data on their website. The 16 Ga Forum that bdicki posted a link to is a place you should visit. The issue with these shorter shells is not so much...

Start with a single stage. As long as it is a quality press, you will always have it and find a use for it even if you step up to a progressive press later. Even old used RCBS and Lyman presses...

Interesting read. I have always used CCI and Winchester primers, but not Federal. That is mainly due to off the shelf availability where I live. The article states these are similar in costs to...

I use IMR most often for rifles. I have gravitated towards Hodgdon for most shotgun loads. For revolver and pistol loads I have yet to settle on one manufacturer.

I like Boyt soft cases. The older ones were made in USA. The newer ones I believe are imported from China unfortunately.

I own a 40 S&W. It was the first pistol I ever bought. I have no use for it since discovering 1911s. I cant’t even trade it away unless I am willing to tape a $100 bill to it.

Looks really nice and the scope compliments the rifle well. Post up a range report once you get to shoot it.

22, it’s still the one.

My 5” Kimber will feed everthing I have tried in it. For SWC, I use a commercially produced H&G 68 clone. The COL I use is 1.240” with a taper crimp of .470”.

Loaded three different loadings of 300 H&H to test out along with a handful of 7mm-08. Might get to the range on Sunday afternoon.

This thread gave me an idea. I load 327 Federal and 32 H&R. Those dies did not come with a spacer. I think I will set my dies up for 32 H&R and use the spacer from my 44 Special/44 Mag die set to...

I have been using a MEC 600JR for decades. Still works.

I hope this works out for you. Looking forward to some pictures.

You did very well!

That issue was fairly common with some of the first Single Sevens. To remove the base pin latch, you will need a special bit. I would just call Ruger and let them address the issue. I would be...

I was finally able to get over there today and made a deal. I got what was left. They had already sold off some of what they had. I ended up with around 1200#s by my best approximations. It is a...

I went to the Myer Gage sight yesterday. The single Z Minus pin gages were listed for $3.36/ea for the sizes commonly needed for checking cylinder throats.

I have not been able to discern any appreciable difference in accuracy by just a change in guide rod style.

I tired of picking up brass too and bought a brass catcher. Getting it positioned...

I have an opportunity to pick up some scrap lead from a print shop that is closing their doors. Since I am pretty new to this, I have a couple of questions.

1. What is the likely composition...

When I purchased my LNL AP several years ago, the pistol rotor for the powder measure would not rotate freely. I called Hornady, they said send back the powder measure with both the pistol and rifle...

I appreciate all of the responses. I am going to shoot a couple hundred jacketed bullets first to break in the bore. I’ll then move to .431 cast after that and go from there.

I have the Frankford Arsenal. I bought it because it was the least expensive one I could get locally. It works fine. My father has one of the RCBS versions that is well over 20 years old.

I have a Flattop 44 Special on the way. Loading for the 44 Special will be new for me. I am looking to purchase a mold for this gun. Those of you with these, are you casting at .434 and then...
