Since this is a Cast Bullets forum, my experience with the Beretta 92 and Browning HiPower is that their groove diameters run large, on the order of .3575". You need to use oversize bullets with...

I will take the .454". I will PM for an address to send the money to. CDD

I had this same problem. Using bullets that do not stick out of the case as far, or .44 Special brass, is the cure.

Member Ammohead just made some Star lube/sizer dies for me. They are not heat treated, but I doubt I will run enough Lead bullets through them to appreciably wear them.

My father left me a 94 in .44 magnum. I have not shot it a lot, but I have learned that it does not feed Keith-type large nosed cast bullets. They do not feed out of the tube magazine into the...

You want something bigger than your groove diameter for several reasons, including that your throat is probably bigger than your groove diameter. Also, if you want good accuracy you want the nose of...

NRA did a lot of experimentation in the 1960s, and they found that much depended on rifling design, throat geometry as well as land diameter and groove diameter. ...

The Austrian brass is Berdan and corrosively primed, but beautiful stuff. I have Berdan primers and have shot some cast bullets through mine. Most of these are short, light carbines, and shooting...

I have a 99 in .22 Savage, dies to make the brass and a cast bullet mold. Forming .22 Savage from .30-30 or several other cartridges is not hard. IIRC, an old Handloader magazine had an article on...

With .308/7.62x51, the only brass I have needed small base dies for is that which had been fired in machine-guns. The problem was the adjustable headspace on these arms being set loose to improve...

I needed either an as-issued 1911 or something close for CMP competition, so I bought a Springfield, but it was nowhere close to GI, with much better sights, and other strong differences. I saw the...

I shoot .32 S&W-L through a Walther GSP semiauto. I has very large groove diameters (.314"). If I try to shoot undersize bullets, groups are huge. A lot of bullets, such as the Speer 98gr HBWC are...

What pistol are you firing these in? My Walther & Beretta 9mm barrels are all .3575" groove diameter or so. I also have an FN HiPower race gun with a barrel that is about .3575" groove diameter,...

I will take the 28 gauge MEC 600.

Colt has not made magazines in a very long time. As noted, the one has a "M" which is put on "Colt" magazines made by Metalform. The other maker Colt is supposed to have making them magazines is...

It would be better to cast to the size you want, then drop from the mold into the water. If you need to put on a gas check, use a lubricator/sizer die that is the as-cast size of the bullet.

To work up a load, look in manuals and periodicals about similar bullets of about that weight. I particularly like the Lyman manual. You are looking for swaged or cast bullets of about that weight,...

Bear Creek makes two .38 S&W bullets: they are in the top row next to the .32 bullets.

I have several 9.3x74R barrel sets for my Valmet shotgun. Because I have had the mold longest, I've shot more Lyman 366408 plain base, which works fine for punching paper at low velocity. I always...

That sounds like a pair of custom molds. Back when the Group Buys started here, most or all of them were made by Lee, after someone originated an idea, then someone volunteered to collect money for...

I believe I have several PT92 magazines downstairs that I would give you for the postage. I have had them for 30 years, and no pistol they go to.

Look in the top row of these people's offerings: https://www.bearcreeksupplybullets.com/bulletselection

They offer a 190gr bullet.

Ballistic Products publishes a lot of loads using Bullseye. A lot of these loads are using their Spreader loads, which I shoot a lot of, but they usually are loads at 1400 or 1500 fps, and I don't...

I bought a S&W Model 25-2. I was told that its cylinder throats measured .454". I bought a group of pin gauges, and in 3 shot holes it would pass a .455" pin, and in the other 3 it would pass a...
