Thanks for all the comments and input. I am going to try some 2400 on Monday. I'll post my results from that attempt in a new post.

I've never used H110 before so I'm following the manuals exactly. Even to the point of using the same brand of primer recommendations. In this case it was Winchester SPP Magnum.

I forgot to mention that I loaded and shot the revolver one cartridge at a time with all shots fired from the same position in the cylinder.

I applied a very heavy crimp, just as prescribed.

I am trying to find an accurate loading for my S&W 686+ with a PC Lee 358-158-RF bullet. The 868's cylinder throats all measure .3580 give or take .0001 either way and the bore slugs out at...

I'm wondering what type of bullet is better powder coating: traditional lube groove bullets or Lee's many grooved tumble lube bullets.
I know custom mold manufacturers now machine molds that have no...

I bought mine from NOE Bullet Moulds.

They make a 363 caliber. The problem with these Enfields is that the...

Thanks for all the info, everyone. It cleared things up.

I have a couple molds that I got in trades that are wad cutters intended for 38s. One is a Lee intended for use with Alox, so it has those mini lube grooves. The other one is an RCBS with traditional...

I want to start pretending to be a cop from the 1920s and I just lucked into a Smith and Wesson 581 that was configured for PPC competition. It has a very nice trigger job, a custom slab sided...

I've stopped "fluxing" my melt a long time ago. I just skim, stir and scrape, then skin the junk that comes to the top. Then do it again until the amount of junk becomes acceptable.

I honestly do...

So the consensus is that while it might be possible to drive a 120gr cast bullet through a Garand and have it function, it will be trash for accuracy. A couple of you have made offers to help find...

I'm going to go ahead and try it out. Does anyone have an idea what a max load would be so I don't blow up my new Garand? I would probably cry if that happened.

So I'm a Canadian that finally, finally, got his hands on a Garand. It's nothing fancy, just a Breda receiver Frankensteined with parts from other rifles, but with a new barrel and new wood. I have...

I have two Tokarev pistols. One is of Polish manufacture and the other is Russian. The accuracy with the Russian Tok is terrible. At 25 yards I am hitting high and left, both by a foot from point of...

I could not find an answer to this question with any quick Googling so I'm asking here.

Can you substitute a cast bullet in a recipe that calls for a specific jacketed bullet as long as the mass...

I want to make a few 44 MAG wrist breaker cartridges as a "That's not a knife, this is a knife" type thing for the guests that I bring to the range that want to shoot "the big stuff". It has to be...

If it was originally intended for black powder I would not use any smokeless in it.

Thank you for all of the advice. I decided to go with the 610 for two reasons. The first was that I didn't realize the 610 is an N frame, as opposed to the L framed 686+ I already own. I don't have a...

I managed to luck into one more pack of that Russian 7.6x25 at the shop. Looks like they found one that got bumped behind some other ammo and I was in the shop just when that happened. Lucky me! I...

I forgot to mention that I'm up in Canada. Target shooting is the only legitimate used of a handgun, and we are limited to 10 rounds per magazine.

I need some help making a decision. I just traded for a Colt Delta Elite and I found out that my hands do not fit the 1911 platform at all. The frame/safety digs into my thumb join with every shot...

Twenty meters.

I need some help with a new production Zestava M57 I just bought and took to the range for the first time yesterday. I had ten rounds of leftover Norinco red box ammo and Russian Factory38. Both of...

Thanks for all of your help! I am now getting perfect bullets with my soft lead.

I bought the Lyman ladle and it pours lead much faster than my Lee bottom pour. I also heated up the mold to 250c...
