I just recently bought the 6 cavity Lee 230TC mold. I don't PC so I got the one with the lube groove. If I were to PC I'd use the tumble lube mold. It feeds great through my Springfield 1911, as do...
Sell the Universal and buy more Unique. Sell or trade the HP38 for more Unique!:grin:

3" or 4" K or L frame or GP100, 7 or 8 shot would make an awesome carry/trail gun.

A guy I was doing a job for gave me a couple hundred primers and 3/4lb of powder because he and his sons hadn't reloaded in "years". When he handed them to me I asked where he had kept them.
He...

I throw up in my mouth just a little every time I hear someone suggesting Pyrodex!! If you want to destroy a gun sure use it. Yes, it will do most anything you need a BP sub to do. However, it will...

HAHA, that's funny. I actually had Walker typed in there and deleted it because I remembered the ROA was a strong gun. I almost left both in there but decided to delete the Walker. I really wasn't...

Personally, I wouldn't do it. But if I had to have the experience of killing a deer with a cap-n-ball revolver I'd use a Ruger Old Army. It'll handle a heavier load than the reproductions will.

Sounds like you need a bullet that's a couple thousandths larger.

The use of words like this shows ignorance of the topic. There are lots of uses. I assume you also think AR'Ss and AK's are only useful for military purposes too? I don't own either but don't have...
I stretched the .27LR out a little this morning. I have a couple of the Champion diamond shaped resetting .22 targets. They are 2.5" wide and 8" tall. I set one up at 100yards and the other at 150. I...

I just got back from the range testing some more. I put about 100 on a couple silhouettes this time. They all ran smooth in the RO Compact and about 90% were in the vitals. At 865fps I think these...

May be a minority, but it's your gun do to it as you wish. I shot SASS for 7 years using a Marble's tang the whole time on either a .32Magnum Marlin or a .45Colt Marlin. It was quick to acquire a...

I liked the Bullseye but I cut the outer ring off with a dremel, softened the edges with a file and cold blued it. Now I love it!! To me there was just a little too much "going on" with two rings out...

Skinner is the way to go for a receiver sight. But, if you want a barrel mounted sight that is quick to acquire. There is absolutely NOTHING quicker to acquire than the Marble's Bullseye rear sight...

No!! The Philistines are the ammo makers who don't make a run of the "obsolete" ammo's every once in a while.

I picked the grand ol' .30-30 but, only because .32-20 and .25-35 weren't listed. .30-30 is the flattest shooting of the ones listed and will dispatch anything I'm likely to run into. Love the .45-70...

That's kind of what I was thinking and then the powder and lube co-mingling isn't ideal either. I may just try to forget about cast in the 300WM. My load using Sierra's 165gr jhp shoots 1/2" @100yds...

I have for your consideration 2 used Lee .45 caliber 2 cavity 255gr rnfp molds. I haven't used them in quite a while and there is some rust on the sprue plates but they still function fine....

I don't know from experience because I wasn't born until 1972. They were well out of production before I came along. But, I do believe the 32's all came with an extra firing pin. Just like a 39A,...

I don't think it's possible to load a bullet larger that 120gr in a .300 winmag without the base extending into the body of the case. It has a really short case neck. I had another thought after...

HA, the only self loading rifle I own is a Marlin Model 60! I don't mind losing .22 brass. :grin:
When I was shooting BP in SASS my BP "solvent" was hot tap water. I rinsed with hot water ran a...
You are correct 1000-1200fps but I would drop that bullet weight down and keep the velocity below 1050fps. The report will be lower with a lighter weight bullet and light crimp. A pure lead round...
Forum: Leverguns
I don't think the "Marlin Jam" was even an issue until SASS came about. It is caused by the carrier repeatedly dropping down on the pointed part of the lever. An average gun never sees near the...
