I don't have a chrony, but was wondering if anyone has info on the following:
CVA Optima (v1) .50 cal.
200gr .451" Hdy XTP
harvester black sabot
150gr (3 pellets) Pyrodex

This is shooting 3/4...

I guess shimming will be my next step. I'm already happy w/ the load development (no leading, tight groups, reliably works the Mod 8 action)... plus, as I found here, there's no way I'm going to mod...

Took a while, but got to the range today with some 3f a buddy gave me. HAHA! On the one hand, I wouldn't want to be shot in the face with this thing, but on the other, I'm not convinced I could hit a...

This peep doesn't have any windage adj... its base is contoured to the hump on the receiver & held with one screw. Once the front sight is drifted to center the groups to the peep, when I drop the...

I have a flip up rear aperture (as pictured) on my Mod 8. Also, there's a flip up rear buckhorn style sight on the barrel shroud.
I've zeroed using Lever-revolutions, to (pretty amazing) success, as...

So with a .366 bore, what should be the O.D. of the wads? I was going to make a hole punch for what I need, thinking .375 may be too tight??

Sounds too easy! A 9mm scoop for both powder & shot? Sweet!
A buddy has some FFFg to spare, I'll post results as soon as I can (but looks like rain for the next 7 days here in the ADK's... not...

the smallest amount my measure will hold is 20gr... I was hoping someone might know offhand of a brass case or other container that might hold 12gr.
The revolver wads are just thick felt? The bores...

I just got a derringer like the one shown in this thread:

I can't think of any real use for it, except for maybe a...

I found the top punch chart, & listed to the right of this bullet if the RCBS #424. Is this the same for Lyman? I'm using the old #45 sizer.
Thanks in advance!

I just picked up a model 8. It's shooting under 1" @ 50yds with Sierra's 200gr RN on initial load workup of 35 to 37gr of IMR3031. I still have more tweaking to do on that, but the hard to come by...

I picked up a HiPoint .45 to compliment my 1911A1. For both I use the Lee TL452-230-2R, pushed by 4.5gr of TiteGroup. No problem hitting 3" steel plates at 50yds offhand w/ the carbine... but that...

K-31's are really great rifles, but before you know it, you can sink more into one that might better be spent on a newer, modern rifle. It just depends on what you're looking for. Novelty wise,...

Update #2:
Got some .30-30 loaded as previously mentioned (6.0gr TG), the only difference being no gas check & I crimped this time. At 25 yds, all rounds were grouping nicely, and you can definitely...

OK - some results, for what it's worth. I loaded .30-30, spread from 6.0 to 10.0gr of TG, pushing that Lee 150gr FN gas checked, with Rem 9 1/2 Mag primers (what i had on hand). Without a...

I've just gotten back into reloading after a 10 year break (I was GIVEN an RCBS reloading set up; maybe a mixed blessing! HA!), and am currently loading .45 ACP, .223, .30-30, 7.5X55 Swiss, & .30-06....
