You could try a tri ball load, just be sure you leave no gaps between the balls. Load data is easy enough jut weigh all three balls and use known data for that weight. I have tried this in my 357...

Interesting DG. I have had 3 1911 45s and none of the link pins were staked and in fact one would fall out if I was not careful. All shot well till our powers that be deemed the 45 to be too much for...

I think your accuracy problem is due to barrel twist, We used that ammo in our Omark mod 44 target rifles which had rather slow barrel twists. My Omark has a 1 in 14'' twist and so is the second...

I agree with you about Gas checks not always needed, I drive the Lee 158 R/F naked at 2200fps in my 357 Maximum with outstanding accuracy and no leading, lubed cast in same loading do not shoot well...

We can always count on Winger Ed to put things in perspective. I tend to agree with him on this as there are other variables to consider such as brass, Primers, and loading methods and of cause...

A couple years back I cast some 170gr cast in a Lyman 156gr cast mould that I had removed the lube grooves from and coated with Hi-Tek Copper, I loaded some up for my 357 Rossi and shot them a couple...

As an Australian and a Monarchist I should be offended by that, but I am not. While she was true to her words of giving a life of service to the Commonwealth, I can not argue with your assumption, as...

I primed a fired and unsized 357 shell loaded 3 gr Bullseye covered with 3 wads cut from a primer box using a 9mm shell as punch, as much shot as I could get in allowing for 3 more of said wads the...

I have never been a lover of case hardening but that is a beautiful rifle. I believe one would have to look fare and wide to find a better looking lever gun than those made by Henry, unless one was...

I had the problem you describe when I used that brand of cast, they were undersized in all calibers I loaded them in and the coating was some horrid stuff. I am now thankful for the bad results I had...

Have you tried the smash test which is hammering a projectile with a hammer on an anvil, the idea being to see if coating flakes off in which case it is a faulty batch of cast. I only ever managed to...
As others have said, sort if you shoot full mag loads, as you can get into trouble with some small capacity cases. I would also agree it is important to trim all cases to uniform length in order to...
