NJ considers a muzzleloader a firearm...just like it does a BB gun. If you ship one into the state you need to ship it to an FFL, so I'm going to assume the same applies to ship it out of NJ, since...

My Arsenal 401-175 -TC mold that drops at 172g with my alloy. I load it with 4.6 grains of Titegroup using CCI #500 primers and get 1010 fps and cycles my P320 every time. I've tried lower chargers...

Groups where okay with CFE BLK for a windy day and moving target. I was hitting below bullseye so without the chrono data I'm guessing it was in the 1900 fps range instead of 2000 fps. I plan to...

I have some H110 in my cabinet already, which is the next powder I plan on trying. I was thinking of picking up some VV-N110 since I've had good success with VV-N135 & N140 in 223. I'll add w296 to...

Has anyone tried using the low heat method with Smokes? I've been doing temps of 275 for 15 minutes with various Eastwood powders, but thinking of trying Smokes when I run out. Want to know if this...
I like it so far. I think it works for me since its for low volume rifle ammo. I've only had two casting sessions with it so far, and the last time I ran a 6 cavity mold for 9mm at the same time so...
Exactly what happened to me, but only my gun and not the wife's. Pulled all the remaining bullets from the batch and found 2-3 with powder that appears to have been wet and stuck to the instead of...
The Lee TL356-95-2F works in both my PK380 & P320 with either Titegroup or CFE Pistol.

I've purchased Hardball 92-2-6 from Acme Bullet Company at $2.10 a pound.
Arsenal mold 403-180 TC-PC bullet over 6.8gr of CFE Pistol works well for me in P320. Originally tried them seating them at 1.130 but had a few feed issues. Started seating them at 1.140 and...

I have 4 arsenal molds and love them all. Especially the 160gr RF that Kraschenbirn mentioned for 38/357. It's become the 1st site I check when looking for a new mold.

I picked up 320 lb of lead that looked exactly like that from the local junk yard a few weeks ago at .80 per pound. There was sections which had a thin layer of plywood stuck to it, so I assumed it...

Marlin 336W yesterday from Dicks Sporting Goods...then I saw the news today and wish I hadn't bought it from them. To top it off, it took me 3 trips to the store before I could bring it home...but...

I plan on trying 31-130C & 31-165C from accurate in my Marlin 336W. It will be several weeks before the mold arrives and I can post some results, but worst case, I'll get to try casting with a brass...

I use the Arsenal 359-155 Gr RF (5 cavity) in my Win/Miroku 1873 and it works real well.
Just ordered this mold last night and it shipped out this morning, so should receive it sometime next week. I should have some boolits cast in a week or two that I could send out.
