Those prices are reasonable if selling individually. Offloading the entire lot to someone and realizing those prices probably isn't going to happen unless you get real lucky.

I think revolvers are just more practical for big bores. They are much more versatile when it comes to loads and bullet selection. .460 S&W can chamber anything from 45 Colt to rounds 2,400 FPS...
I’m pretty sure it’s their own personal range and judging by the looks of each video they do a good job of keeping it clean. Her ability to handle that 44 Magnum is impressive.

Are you sure it's key holing? Slower moving bullets will tear paper more than faster bullets and can look kind of like keyholing.
I have been using that bullet for quite a bit of 9mm shooting...
I have a 175 WC that I have used with N320, Unique and Titegroup in a S&W 25-5
6.0 to 6.5 N320 has worked the best. Velocities are 660 to 733
6.5 Unique was 720 FPS
6.0 TG was 775 FPS

It'd be nice if the website automatically filtered out the molds that are out of stock. They usually have quite a bit in stock given there are dozens of mold designs for dozens of different...

Lead wouldn't well for weight lifting. Weights get dropped and such and would get deformed.
A 10 lbs lead weight would probably be smaller than the size of a pop can. The 10 lbs plastic...

What molds do you have?
My favorite is a NOE 311-195-RF. My 311299 also works well and is a little heavier but hasn't been as accurate for me. The Lee 230 grain bullet built for 300 BLK has not...

More important than crimp, is making sure the bullets fit your cylinder throats. Crimp will kind of be irrelevant shooting 9mm in a 986.

I don't use a thermometer and all my metals were bought second or third hand and are a hodgepodge of alloys. I use a cheap Lee casting pot. I shoot small groups with handguns at 50 yards and metal...

I love these threads where people argue over the right way to cast.
Person 1 - I do XYZ process and it works so it's the only way to do it.
Person 2 - No way! I do ABC process and it works, so...
I was kind of interested in one until reading about how it’s only marginally more powerful than a .44 Mag. The 350 Legend losses its luster out of a shorter barrel.
It's not 1968 anymore. Are there people still think a roll crimp is better than a taper crimp on 45 ACP?
Sure a "roll" crimp is possible but it'll either be a very light roll crimp or you're...

I converted to PC'ing after trying Lee Liquid Alox a few times and could never get it to work correctly. 100% of the time i ended up with lead in the barrel even with .38 Special and 45 ACP. ...

If you were over 59.5 years old it was OK to withdraw. If OP is under 59.5 completely different rules apply.

They’ll be at 18 this fall, so 20 with 2 more in 2025.
The increased metal on the bottom of the barrel certainly helps, as one of the biggest issues with original k-frame .357s was that the barrel would crack with enough use of light high velocity...

Dead soft might be fine for light powder puff loads. However your typical 9mm bullets aren't going to cycle a gun at with low velocities unless you're running 147 or 158 grain bullets.

125 grain subsonic is basically a 38 special load. Do you have pistol powders? 2207 is not an ideal powder for that load.

I had a friend who bought a bunch because the prices was right. It won’t cycle any of our semi-autos and we’ve tried like 10 different ones. I chronographed some out of a 6” Colt official police...

I was wondering the same thing. Assuming other reloading procedures were followed correctly there’s basically a zero % anything bad is going to happen. The load 3% off max. Maybe not the ideal...

I think a lot just has to do with every component being the correct temp - between the mold, the sprue plate and the lead if one thing is not hot enough you will have problems. I try to have...
If it was something I reloaded I’d probably see if the gun will set off rifle primers and go from there. If those don’t work I’d try small pistol magnum. If those are unavailable I’d do probably...
Try 4.5 grains if 5.0 was too much.
I use 5.5 grains Unique for 190 to 200 grain bullets and they work great for subsonic loads.
