Dang, I didn't know the Bull Shop was still in business. I've used speed green and Bullplate lube a long time ago in a previous life. Good to know.

The 40 short is not the powder puff round a lot make it out to be. Thats pretty good numbers with a 200 gr pill.
Hodgdon's annual manual has the 45 auto with a 200 gr. lswc over CFE pistol at 1142...

Years ago I did a small test of plain lube and sized boolits versus pc'd and sized boolits in my S&W 67-1 revolter with a 4 inch barrel clamped in a ransom rest at 33 yards. The plain boolits were...
I bought the EZ in 9mm. I put a little over 400 rounds through it and then heard about the recall. Sent it in and got it back in 2 or 3 weeks with a new hammer installed. I have only fired another 2...
Ruger calls them"sleeve and shroud barrels". I knew Dan Wesson used that type of barrel system and more lately S&W had also used it but did not know that Ruger had gone to that setup as well on some...
Sleeved barrels. I just in the last week came to learn that Ruger is using sleeved barrels on some of the Redhawks and some of the GP100's. I guess I just don't get out much.

Sounds like too much lube or the vent hole is plugged or missing.

Dillon makes an x-small powder bar for their measure.
I also use Lee handles on NOE molds, I have a set of NOE handles but the Lee handles are more comfortable so the NOE handles stay in the workbench.
Seems I have read that Elmer also insisted on a square sided front band even though it was more difficult to drop from the mold.
I have had good accuracy with that bullet in the RCBS mold, I wonder if Miha strayed from the RCBS design a bit too much.
I really don't think the tiny amount of neck length increase would affect neck tension much at all but hey, if you think it will, go for it. You could make a few pieces of 357 Sig brass from 10mm...

I have to drive to the next county to get non-ethanol gas to use in the yard equip and tractor. About a dollar a gallon higher than the gas with squeezins.

I don't need anything special as far as dies for loading 357 magnum or any handgun caliber. My cast bullets are sized the same as jacketed for the caliber or maybe .001" larger. I have used RCBS and...

Ditto on headspacing on the shoulder and a for real crimp.
I would caution against storing powder in a glass jar. A friend and fellow hunter/shooter broke down some shotgun shells that he had loaded that didn't pattern well. He, for some reason stored the...

Seems I recall, a while back a member made up a few of these. I believe he advertised it in the S&S section.

That's one of my biggest complaints with NOE molds, its as if the crimp groove was an afterthought. You might take a look at Accurate molds, Tom will cut a mold to your specs, and he will alter an...

You might take a look at the EP 2.0. Does 300 Blackout - 50 cal Browning. $268 to your door.

With no brass seamingly available the OP may not have a choice but to make his own. If PPC brass isn't extinct I would sure appreciate a link to purchase some.

Would it be just as easy to push the shoulder back on 6.5 Grendel brass about .070, trim a few thousands on the length and bingo, 6PPC? It uses small rifle primers also. I have a Ruger #1V in 6 PPC...
