The 270 gr rcbs is my favorite with red dot has been my choice for a decade.

I have 3-5 1000 of S&B small rifle/pistol and 10000 lr and a few hundred cci sp, the s&b have become my standard.

I have a carcano in 6.5x52 but the .264 bullets not big enough, my 7x57 probably needs more than .285 as well.

I have few hundred to several thousand empty hxp cases or loaded, i have a few hundred for after i finish up Swedish 6.5x55 with imr 4350 and 45/70 with bench mark & cast.
As much as I like 32s i find i have a couple hundred 32H&R that wont chamber in my single seven, probably the rcbs 32/98 is cast oversize for it

I shoot HiPower so matches rifles are 1/8 or 1/7 usually for 77gr hpbt over RL-15 for about 2750 fps pretty much the standard load for hipower.

I probably have 20-30lbs of different powders that work in handguns so picking just one is hard, i can say i have a favorite for different calibers but there isn't a standard that fits multiple...

UNIQUE for handguns and 4895 for rifles they dont compete but they cover everthing between them.

Looked through stash I found i had about 3 cans from aces hardware 2.5 now and some bll finding alox is the problem but i do have enough bll to do 1000+ bullets ez now.
A snub nose compact Taurus or S&W Model 10 or model 28 depends on mood would like a Win 92 or ruger 77 next purchase unless they make a 32 h&r or 327 FED while i wait.
I will stick with 32 H&R and 327 Mag instead the 327 can reach 9mm or H&R nearly so but not a good mtn revolver caliber.

i think there are 3 45 colt revolvers and 1 lever action in my stash compared to 2 handguns in 45 acp and 3 rifles in 45 70 (1 falling block 2 1895 Marlin) so my mind is made up for the old colt 30 ...

4895 is the Unique of rifle powders, it will work in everything. It's going to be fast in the Magnum, but will be fine for cast, and can be a bit slow in a 30-30, but it will work. If I had to stick...

No accurate idea, I just know that per casting session I generally empty a 20 lb Lee furnace 3 times, usually alternating between 2-3 molds. I do have 50-60 lbs of RCBS 45-270 SAA ready, along with...

Availability is king, and familiarity is queen. I've primarily used CCI for 35 years, as they were available when I started. I've used a couple K of WLR when CCI wasn't available, and many 1000s of...
I have standardized on 6.2 - 6.3 gr of Red Dot (whatever my Lee Auto Disk is throwing today), with any 250gr + SWC. Right now RCBS 45 270 SAA. Haven't bothered Chrono'ing it for 30 yrs, last time I...

Going through paperwork recently and discovered mine expired in December. Haven't used it since 2017 so didn't notice. Waiting for start date for new job then I'll send in paperwork for 2nd renewal,...

You ask 100 people about barrel break in, you'll get at least 200 answers. If it makes you feel more confident in your gun then do it, otherwise my opinion is you're burning through finite barrel...

Brass - plastic shoe boxes from Wally World, they will hold around 250 full size rifle up to around 2000 small pistol (9x19) cases. I have them separated into primed and unprimed for each caliber.

Any powder in that burn rate will work for cast in both .223 and .308, as long as it is spelled H4895. I burn a lot of RL-15 in .223 and some Varget in 7.92x57 and occasionally in .308, but both are...
