I just bought a new Miroku made Winchester 1892 and it's also stamped "45 Colt Only".

Pressure wise, your rifle will never notice the difference. You know from experience what it feels like to size a bullet, how much force it takes to pull the handle on your press when sizing bullets....

I also used to live in New Jersey back before they invented dirt, it was a bitch growing those tomatoes in straight Watchung mountain bluestone. Lead was a lot easier to get back then, and homemade...

Since no one knows for sure what you have, I'll give you my best hunch. Cast bullets using this alloy weigh less than the ones cast from wheel weights, so there's probably less lead in the mix than...

I use a system that's similar to this. Brass tubing is sold using shrink wrap on card stock and it's sold for hobbies. You can buy it in 1/64" graduations and wall thickness is usually .014", as...

CFE223, BL-C(2), and H335 are ball powders that work great in the .223. Reloader 7 and H322 are short kernel extruded powders that also meter really well

I also use the 230-tc bullet with the standard lube groove, and I tumble lube using straight Johnson's paste wax. Everyone who's tried my bullets loves them.

I'm reading all of your posts and I can't help but think that you sound like me 5 years ago. I started this crazy hobby out of necessity after a couple of back surgeries which caused my income level...

If you have an AR-15 in 5.56mm, you just hit the jackpot with the old Reloader 7. My load using 20.4 grains of it along with a 55 grain FMJ-BT Hornady bullet, is my most accurate load to date and it...

The 94 is friendlier on cast boolits, but not because of the style of rifling. I've never had any problems with micro-groove and cast boolits that are properly sized. The real advantage with the...

I shoot a lot of cast in my 30-30's using IMR4198, H4198 and Reloader 7. All three work equally as well as the other, and best accuracy happens in the 22 grain range. If you want to push them faster...

I don't have the third edition, but it is in the fourth.

Use the OAL that's listed in the Lyman manual that Newton scanned and posted. When loaded to 1.170", the flat nose profile lines up with the nose profile of ball ammo. I have the mold with standard...

My two favorites are hp-38 and power pistol. I might be crazy, but I like the way power pistol makes my little LCP bark.

The cylinder gap is what causes a lot of problems with very light loads in a revolver. Once the base of the bullet clears the gap, the gases have an escape route other than pushing the bullet. The...

Go ahead and get a Lyman M die for the calibers that you shoot a lot. It's also a good idea to pick up a Lee universal expander, they're under $20 and can be adjusted to expand all calibers. It's...

I've worked for many years in the aerospace industry and received annual training on ITAR. I can fully understand our government not wanting my knowledge of rocket engines and launch vehicles getting...

Thanks Larry, the time and effort that you put into this is appreciated. I'm curious about if you ever found the RPM threshold to move downward as bullet diameter increases? I'm thinking about this...

My LCP is the reason I bought this mold. I've shot close to 3,000 rounds through it with this bullet and every single round has fed and functioned perfectly.

Doc, I don't have a Springfield, but it feeds flawlessly in my Glock 26 and my Keltec PF9. Even if for some reason it doesn't feed properly in your XD9, it's also a great lead saver if you load any...

I'll post it again for those who missed it. This is the link to the Ranch Dog load data for this bullet. The link takes you to the main page, then click where it says "load notes" underneath this...

You can see the two different ogives on my bullets and Tazman's. Mine are fatter, but I've encountered problems with the nose contacting the rifling in some .380 handguns. This requires me to seat...

Let me try this again.

Here it is loaded in .357 Magnum, 9mm and .380 acp

Here's the link to Ranch Dogs load data, it's created with Quickload and all are max loads, back down and work up.

I size this boolit to .358" and it chambers in...

It's my understanding that it's the updated Ranch Dog design with the secant ogive. I have the original design with the tangent ogive and I have to seat the bullet deep for my daughter's .380...
