That's exactly what I've been doing with my Corbin .340 diameter swage die. That diameter allows the cylinders to fit snugly inside the plastic wad fingers of my BP wads I'm using. I'ts very...

Thanks Bigfoot44 for the update. Since my first post I've been dabbling with my multi swaged cylinders (after all I have the Corbin die, right?). I found a source for machined? washers. Or lets...

OK Folks and now for something similar, but not necessarily completely different????? I also have been working up tooling for a HD type of mess around 410 load. I use 00 buck cast in a Lee gang...

Hey guys I knew that having lead was not going to be the problem (as mentioned above I also probably have a lifetime collection of the stuff now as well), I just wanted to hear directly if it was an...

You all know how rumors are and how they can get spread so I wanted to through this out there to see if there is any validity to it. I've read/overheard that the only US Lead refinery got closed...

Bond Arms is a company that I would have liked to be in a state other than California when they first came out. I'd then of had a copy of each of their models and kept that collection going every...

Not sure what the Fed's consider "commercially available" though since you can buy ANYTHING at all through normal retail chains and outlets as well a black market items as well. Shoot, Heroin is...

Well folks all the gear is now in place and functioning. My little chop saw from Harbor Freight is the hull cut off tool with a 3/4" schedule 8 washer cut into and silver soldered into the base of...

I spent a considerable amount of funds and sacrificed a number of otherwise good quality reloading tools in an attempt to load brass cased 410 loads. In the end I simply chose spent 410 plastic...

Just like my Raging Bull in 44 magnum. Made in Brazil and totally metric down to the very smallest screw, YUCK. I managed to strip one side plate screw (the one that has a pin to hold the cylinder...

Howdy folks: Figured that here was as good a place to ask??? Do any of you know the history behind the 410 shotshell and what length shell was first produced and how many shell lengths were there...

Posted prior about my home brew defensive loads I'm working up for the 2.5" 410 and am now ready to load a few to check out at the range. Patterning them and adjusting powder amounts to get the most...

Thanks Trixter: I very well might give that suggestion a go. At least with the 250 grain 44 mag bullets since there is so much contact with the case in the first place. A bit less on the 38's, but...

Thanks for the info. Not sure what you are reffering to in the "lock up the cylinder" portion. Either the bullets will pull out from the recoil or they won't. Are you saying that the edged into...

I'm Bringing some of my SASS days and equipment along for the ride on my smokeless reloading. I chose the tumble lube bullets not to tumble lube them, but for the bullet with the closest full length...

On a thread on this site I read up on how to improve the performance of Lee's six cavity molds and boy does it work. Before just one bullet is cast, the mold is separated and deburred. It's...

Boy I sure wish I could have the very same thing. My local dealer has been in its current location for just over two years and they have (from day one mind you) an all stainless bearcat that's been...

Well if I'm trying to stick to pellets I'd have a choice of 30, 50, 60, 80, 90, or 100 grains since the pellets come in 30 and 50 grain amounts. I'm sure that one of those loads would end up working...

It helps a Lot. You can't imagine. Taking the years of experience from another is a whole lot better than spending the years yourself. I hate to "reinvent" the wheel as it were. So I'm back to the...

Thinking of what you are talking about, I'd have to go with a simple bullet/sabot combination to fit the bore of my gun. The quickest and easiest loading and the less that could possibly go wrong...

Thank you so much Johnson1942! You are correct on the 1 in 28 twist (I never really understood proper twist rates and such), but since you mention the mmp sabot's, those were the exact brand that...

Howdy folks: I've been all over the map and then all over the map again when it comes to favorites in shooting. It was shotguns and skeet for several years, then pistols and modifications. I once...

Oh, OK. I guess I just should have asked if a Corbin tool was used much like mine. There are three versions of the HC-? tool. The original or HC-1 is their standard cannelure tool and does what the...

OK, that makes sense now. Would that be the final bullet making plan then? Cast a regular bullet, lube and size it, and then swage it only making it slightly different? I guess I don't see the...

This is a quote from early on in the thread showing a picture of both bullets. I notice that the swaged bullet has a lube groove with an impressive amount of lube apparently inside, could you tell...
