Hey Robert,
Have you got these underway yet? If you want to go halves in freight let me know as I could do with a couple of boxes of 30's & maybe some 22's?

Hi Shooter,
I have had a 955 since they first came out. That must have been about 1996'ish.

My load for IHMSA in the strong FA 357 revolver is the RCBS 200gr boolit with 16.3gr ADI2205 (4227). Usual warnings apply.....OK in my gun but may not be in yours.

Hello Alan,
I shoot the RCBS 55gr in .223 Remington ( 15" pistol barrel) using the following mix of alloys; 4lb lead,4lb COWW & 2lb Lino. Hardness approximates Lyman #2. I am using 13gr ADI 2205...

Resurecting this old thread. I am getting a new barrel made in 30BR specifically to shoot the NOE 155gr boolit. So where do I seat the boolit to make the dummy round for the gunsmith to cut the...

Hello my name is Peter and I have been bulletless for 15 years. I fell off the wagon with my 223 15" pistol for a while until I found a boolit it liked so now I am back on the bulletless wagon.
FA 357 Model 83
FA 22 Model 83.
If I had to restrict my self to only one gun for BB and SB it would be these two.
