You can see what I uploaded that for the 344 grain (which is lead in the original data) 1400 to 1500 should be in the range and leave you with some room to spare. Although I would make sure of the...

I can't seem to cut and past the original, but this is what Phil Sharpe listed as 45/70 performance numbers. I will list some of his results with original powders that are still in production with A...

I was too lazy to find a flat screw and this actually worked after I cleaned it up anyway. I guess the taper I was using was an old Behr 38 s&w full length resizer. It seems to put a good friction...

I do it alot, only usually if I have to use an alternative it's a lee sizing die for a bullet diameter that is just around the neck diameter and I'm trying to taper the neck. Usually the dies have a...

I just trim and resize starline 9x23 super comp. I do that for the higher pressures in the Glock with 30 Luger barrel, since the 9x23 is more strongerer. In the end, though, 30 luger are common...

Lordy, I would post a picture of mine.... it's on a 3 foot 2x4 so you can use a clamp to temporarily hold it to the table. Surprisingly effective and equally ugly, yours is Beeyootiful!

Hi all. We've batted this around a bit - how to properly crimp a heeled bullet. I do 44 Colts with a heeled bullet and 38 Colts with a heeled bullet. I've had good luck with the 44 by just running...

I use a 93 grain hollow point NOE 315-102 RN in my 30 Luger. Here is a picture with 2 around an original Remington 30 Luger, which I was hoping to duplicate (it does). I can run these at 30 Mauser...

I'm fascinated with 38 S&W bore variations over time and manufacturer. At some point I think S&W just started using the same barrels as 38 special - like in the 60s or 70s. That is just a wild old...

I would call, or go on Gunbroker and look at what molds " WholesaleHunter " has. A lot of times the NOE site is sold out so I end up getting them from WholeSaleHunter off Amazon or GB. Don't get...

I think you'll be happy. My 41 magnum Blackhawk is BY FAR the most accurate handgun I own. I also have a S&W model 58. My personal SD load is reversed hollow based wadcutters in the Mod 58. I've...

I need some 25-20 brass to begin with, or make some. Thanks goodness I have a gross of 32-20 to mess with.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Well I've had great fun with APP and black mz in cartridges and I think that would work in 25-20. I haven't got to reloading 25-20 yet but when I do I will start with whatever phil sharpe listed for...

I have a homemade 44 colts heeled mold that I made, it's very accurate for being such a piece of amateur junk. I've used APP and Black MZ. The Black MZ is fascinating stuff. I need to chrono my 44...

That's why I use +p cases only for 38/44 loads. But if you have a variety of loads and guns you may need a better system like john's color coating (fingernail polish on the case heads)

I don't use checks so much now that I paint bullets. I haven't loaded rifle in a while but I have the same issue at times with 30 luger and 400 corbon. I guess it doesn't really bother me. There is...
