It seems to me that 9mm luger dies will work too. . . . ?
I cock the hammer on my double actions first. . .never could master the looooong trigger pull. Usually hit on the first shot too, so what's the point??
I found about 5 lbs of forgotten Dupont 59115SR4759 in one of my ammo cans last week. Most of my reloading is with cast boolits and I was wondering if anyone here has worked up some medium power...

Anyone who has asked the BATF how many guns one can buy and sell in a given period, without needing an FFL, can surely understand the vagueness of US laws designed to trap citizens of pure intent.

Rimfire: I chambered a loaded 30/30 round. It went in and extracted like it should. I have some low power lead boolit 30/30 loads with 115 grain 32-20 boolits. I will try them out next time I go up...

Wish Savage would make them again with some improvements! Had one in the 60s in caliber 30/30 and also had a shotgun barrel for it. Don't remember what gauge the shotgun was - 16 or maybe 20.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. . .I will melt the shot down and cast as is. I load mostly 30 caliber bullets at 1600 to 1800FPS which should work just fine.

A friend gave me about 50 lbs of shot reclaimed from a trap range.
Is shot hard enough to cast into bullets or would I have to alloy it with a hardener?
If so. . . . .what should I use?

I have found that a 1:12" twist in .30 caliber works best for me accuracy wise. My Remington Model 700 Varmint rifle has a 1:12" twist although most .308s and 30-06s come with a 10" twist. I also...
