Chilled is pretty soft giving enlarged patterns. Magnum shot is the hard, good, stuff giving noticably better patterns. It's all I use for trap, skeet, and sporting. I do go thru upwards of 5000 shot...

Good for Montana! I will admit that I used to use my Knight during our regular firearms season back when we were required to use shotguns, handguns, muzzle loaders. Now that we are allowed to use...

Well I figured it out. I have recently upgraded my RCBS Jr press to a Rockchucker. As such I had to reset my dies so I was playing around there. I was setting up a dummy round so I just grabbed a...

I finally got around to playing with the Lee C358-200-RF in my 141 35 Remington. Being the wise retired engineer that I supposedly am I just made up a dummy round to see how well it cycled thru my...

I am, targeting mink and beaver. My son and I have only had sets out for four soaks. So far five beaver, 36 to 67 pounds, and one buck mink. Pelt prices are in the toilet, we make our money selling...
The Hodgdon website shows the red, green, blue, and target as being discontinued. Anybody know anything about that?

I use a 50/50 mix of corn cob and walnut shells treated with a little red rouge. The walnut seems to knock the chunks and crud off and the corn cob puts the shine to the brass. It has worked for me...
I use CFE Pistol in my 38 spl load with a 125 rnfp. It's my go to small game load, under an inch at 50 feet doing 950 fps. I use a 6 inch Model 14. I don't give out charge weights anymore. It is more...
I did ask Tom to eliminate the bevel on the base. It also works well in my 3" GP100.

I have been using this mold with great results using the Skeeter load in my 44 spl Bisley. Inside an inch at 50 feet. At present I am...

I've taken two, both in Texas, and both with a recurve. They are made for traditional archery hunts. Having said that I'll be chasing them in Texas again this coming September and plan on using my...

The Lee 310 is the only thing that goes thru my 5.5 inch Redhawk. Sized .432 with H-110 and a standard Federal primer I get a consistent 1200 fps. My alloy is ACWW plus some tin for good fill out....

A Lee .311 die, a 1/4 inch wood dowel or brass rod, some 400 grit wet/dry paper, some Rem oil, a variable speed drill, and hone away. It's easy and doesn't take very long. Go easy and check often....

Try Corson Barrels. Do a Google search to find it. Give them a call. I know they list a bunch of the fixed tubes.
I too have a Model 12 with a Cutts. Three in fact, one 20 and two 12's. Soon to...
Your sizing die will crush everything. Your sizer brings the brass down to basically under size then you use an expander which leaves the ID of the brass a thousandth or two under bullet diameter...

I got one to try out with my 357 max Encore rifle. It works quite well so now I'll call Tom at Accurate. The Lee mold is a pain in the butt to use. On the other hand the Accurate mold I have...

Actually yesterday I went thru 50# plus of shot. One ounce of 7.5 in the 12ga and 7/8 ounce 8.5 in the 20ga. Takes me about 20 minutes to crank out and box up 4 boxes. Then a couple more to reload...

I'm using the same Lee 125 rnfp with 6.0 CFEpistol in my S&W 14-2. I'm getting 900fps average and a skinny hair over an inch at 25 yards (12 shots). All I've used it on is squirrels, rabbits, a few...

Square Butte, it sure is. That's exactly why I picked it. It's quite good out of my 3" GP100 and really, really good out of my 5.5" flat top Bisley. I got it for some major slap on 40 to 50 yard...

Oops, that didn't work! Just look up the 43-233H.

Just ordered this one from Tom at Accurate on a Sunday evening if I remember correctly. It was in my mailbox the following Friday. I even asked him to eliminate the bevel base. Shoots like a dream...

I have a 141 in 35 Rem, also built in 1940. It is in fact a great shooter also. I don't have a scope on mine but I'm comfortable with it out to a hundred and a little more. Pleasant to shoot, easy to...
My fathers Remington 121 Fieldmaster 22. Still have it. I think I was 5 years old so that would be 1956. Couldn't begin to take a guess at the number of squirrels and rabbits that gun and I brought...
