Could wc846 be used in large caliber hand gun loads? I've got 16 pounds I'd like to find a use for besides 308's

I've been reading about lubing and noted some are looking for hard wax to use in their mixes well my friends the hard waxes are readily available from jewelry supply sources and they are used in the...

I use a large (14") stainless mixing bowl for rendering the WW's on a Coleman stove.

I'm casting and shooting a lot of 45 stuff for my Ruger Old Army as I have the Kurst conversion cylinder I'm loading ACP.

I slugged the barrel and it's a solid .451 and standard jacketed stuff...

I've been melting using a flat bottom stainless bowl but since it's thin it's hard to maintain an even stable pouring temperature with the alloy

I just ordered this, came to just under $25 rasbucknicks delivered, not a bad deal.

I was thinking along the lines of expansion and penetration compared to the jacketed stuff. I've been shooting a 250 grain cast slug out of my Ruger old Army and it would be a heck of a round to get...

I see a lot of stuff on Utube testing jacketed pistol bullets has anyone ever tested the cast bullets the same way?

And if so what were the results, I have been casting a lot of 45 stuff and was...

And I've been using lead in one form or another for a lot of those years, everything from using lead fishing weights, casting sinkers and bullets.

I stand corrected :) must have hit times rather than divide on the calculator. For that pressure you'd need to be about 10,000 down, give or take a few thousand feet.

With these you might end up getting a new TV

Out here on the west coast every now and then you get a deal on two pound to five pound rock cod sinkers and most of the time they are great material to add to the pot.

These are used for deep...

Like I said in an earlier post these suckers pack more of a wallop than you'd think and at close range I'd bet they'd draw blood.

At 18 feet they went through 4 layers of cardboard, I'm still...

I've been using the corn cob walnut shell and the standard recharging liquid and it works pretty well, however I get some pretty grungy pistol brass in 9MM and 45ACP now and then and it needs a...

For a mold you could take a 45ACP case make sure it's nice and round and pop the primer out so you can push out the cooled glueblits, you might need to slightly warm the "Mold" to get the boolit out...

I'm sorry, I didn't see your badge Don, the one that says "Self appointed sanctimonious post monitor".

I will make sure I'm more careful about posting in the future. I will however continue to...

You don't seem to grasp the concept Don, they don't want you LOADING 777 by weight as you would get an obvious overcharge, it needs to be loaded by volume measure.

Now rather than post your...

No mystery, a 5 gn volume measure weighs 3 grains on a scale, I want to shoot a 25 grain volume load it weighs 18.6 grains on a scale.

So in effect I am measuring by volume, I just know how much...

Not to toss a handful of powder into the camp fire but my whole point was that there is a significant difference in weight measuring vs volume measurement and when I'm sitting there rolling fifty or...

And for consistency I'll use the Lee powder measure to throw charges of consistent...

When setting the charge on the Lee powder measure I really don't pay attention to the increments on the measure, I set it close and fine tune using a standard beam powder scale.

Once it's tossing...

During the winters we used to spend parts of the winter shooting targets in the garage, back then we used wax bullets and 38 special brass in out .357 pistols. I decided to see if my 92 would...

After reading the paper cartridge thread on another board (Outstanding info) I started rolling my own too.

I just purchased a 45 ACP conversion cylinder for my ROA and was looking for lead bullet load data for 45ACP reloads in the ROA.

It's a given I will not be using jacketed bullets or hot loads in...

I read that when Bill Ruger proof fired the ROA he filled a cylinder with Bullseye, stuffed a ball onto it and the fired it from a safe distance, the gun withstood the test.

I'd have thought it...
