Please forgive my lack of knowledge.
I know that a 12BHN boolit is softer than the 20BHN one.
Would the difference in hardness affect accuracy?
Ie- load the 12 and 20 to same velocity,...

Following this thread. I loaded some MBW 200gr WFN powder coated bullets over 11.0-11.2-11.5 grains of AA9.
Very accurate and looks to be hitting HARD.
I have no idea how fast it is but I’m...

I have one of these for my 6” guns and it is nice. Very fast shipping on them too.
Baranti makes beautiful leather if you can wait 6-12mos
I just sent the money for my first, a 625-6 with a 5” barrel.
I hope to pu a 325 or one of the Thunder Ranch guns in the future.

Got about 15lbs of powder, lots of primers, bullets and brass from my late uncles stuff. Everything has been stored inside the house. I have only looked at the open cans as most of it has not been...

I’m gonna try #5 Duke DBL on 10ft chains this year, be like the mountain men did it, except I’ll have waders, where those tough sob waded out in leather pants or nakid I guess. Haha

That’s awesome. Any secrets to getting a good result as far as table fare? I’ve seen videos etc on the Comstock cage traps. Keep on keeping on.

I’ve been away from it for a few years but hope to get back into it this year. Just as a hobby and to give the turkeys etc a lil help. I’ll mainly do some water trapping and some land sets. Any...
All of Hodgdon’s data has a 1.20 OAL. I have three different 45acp handguns and two will chamber a longer round than the 1 pistol so I load all of them to fit the short throated one. 1.21

Gen 5 34 9mm
Gen 4 40 10mm
Gen 4 41 45acp
The G41 is more accurate than my Dan Wesson Specialist from the bench but it’s trigger will never be a 1911. Carried Glocks as a cop for over...
Thanks for the replies. I corrected my original post.
I bought some Xtreme 325gr plated bullets to load for my desert Eagle in 50AE. Im a dummy and thought they were 335gr, guess I was being overly cautious and dumb with my previous post.
I shot some...

This is my bench on one wall of my “safe” place haha. I used the Eastwood bench kit and built the frame from cedar 4x4 and 2x4, the top is a solid wood door from Lowe’s. The bottom shelf...
Wadcutters have a great reputation in 2” j frames by people that have put bullets into humans.
The Airweight that is my constant companion is loaded with wadcutters.
No, not like that. I’m still shooting stuff that Dad and Uncle bought 30 years ago, including primers. I’m just buying up some bullets. I won’t pay the inflated prices that people are paying. I was...
Humor me if you will...
I am buying components for my use and for my kids to use after I’m gone. I’m stocking up on whatever I can. I was thinking that a 158gr LSWC for a 38/357, a 240gr LWSC...
Shot mine some more yesterday. It’s just a fun gun. Congrats on your purchase.
I want to say it was around 200.00 but I’m not sure.
It’s not a useful handgun but I’m gonna hold on to mine for a while.
I have a .50AE that I sent back for the add on compensator they offered. It’s held on by three screws into the end of the barrel. It helps, the comp part and the extra lb of steel on the end. I’m...
Had a 460 and got rid of it, excellent gun just too big to carry. I bought a BFR in 500 JRH and leave it. I am saving my pennies for the next one, probably gonna be a 454 casull to replace the longer...
I love mine, I’m still trying to find a set of grips I like on it. Big hands.
I bought a box of these to try in my S&W 629s. Based on the other 300gr lead data I’ve found, If I seat it to book COL it won’t fit in my gun. It has two crimp grooves.
I’m afraid if I seat it...
I hate that Leupold stopped making the 2x scopes. I bought the 4x when I really didn’t know any better. I have the 2.5x8 handgun scopes on my 8 3/8” models 647,617, and 460 XVR.
Any advice on any...
