It would appear that IMR-4320 is no more. It is not even listed on the IMR website as one of their powders. A shame.

I just picked up today the same Henry single shot in 30-30 so I'm interested in this thread. I like GT's use of a little softer alloys than a lot of the others. With 2-2-96 for handguns and 3-3-94...

Rim Rock sells a 200 gr flat base .44 cal that they call "anti personnel" bullet. They come sized to .430 and are BHN 15. I have used their .41 cal 180 gr version and have been very satisfied....

I have a couple year old Redhawk in .45 Colt with the 4.2" barrel. This winter it is going to Hamilton Bowen for his Ruger double action Basic package "RD-01". It includes a trigger/action tune, an...

Picked up 5# jug of Blue Dot and 4# of Herco. Never tried Herco. Am anxious to try it. It was marked down to $69.95.

I picked up a S&W 1076 last year and my son just bought a XDM 10mm with the 5.25" barrell. Big fans of the 10.

John Barsness has a good article on annealing in the June/July 2017 issue of Handloader. John likes to use the hand held candle method also. He makes reference to using Tempilaq 750° paint to get his...

I've been using 9.0 grains Blue Dot with xtreme 165 gr. plated for about 1000 fps in my S&W model 1076. Very pleasant load to shoot. If I go with heavier bullets and hotter I go with AA-9. It is a...

Thank you to all that replied. I did lube fairly heavy as I thought the forming process would go harder than it did. The press is an RCBS Rockchucker. I'll keep at it and back off on the excess lube!...

Just started re-forming some once fired R-P 30-06 cases to 7x57. I used the RCBS forming/trim die and lubed the cases with Imperial Sizing wax. About 70% of my cases were distorted in the shoulder...

2 #s of 800-x and 2#s of Vihtavuori N-110. $15 a pound at a local gun show.

For revolver: Smith model 58
For autoloader: Smith model 1076

I have only ordered one order from Penn, but impressed with their products. Sometimes it takes a while to get them as I had to wait over a month, but they fully disclose the fact that they make...

50 years ago the Speer manual listed 50gr. 4064 in the 30-06 with 180 gr. bullets, as it still does in Speer #14. Not knowing any different back then I swapped in 180gr. old style Nosler partitions...

Age 71 here. Started reloading in '62 at age 16 and can't think of when the last factory load I fired was. I cased a little in the early '70's and want to get back into it. Have mostly been shooting...

I picked up a pair of .41 Smiths in the last year, a model 57 8 3/8" last fall and recently a model 58. I am really loving these .41's. Have been shooting a Rim Rock 240gr. SWC FB over 8.5gr. of...

The 2001 IMR Handloaders Guide for Smokeless Powders pages 47-51 lists a lot of reduced rifle caliber loads for IMR 4227 and 4198. It starts with the .17's and goes up through the .458,s. It is...

A gunsmith told me in the early 60's that Winchester couldn't sell the model 70 Featherweights in .358 Win and would take dealer's un-sold inventory back and re-barrel them to .243's. I agree with...

I picked up a 10mm Smith & Wesson model 1076. I wanted the model 1006 but this came by and I couldn't resist.

My son has a Desert Eagle that he bought new 10 or so years ago with a .44mag. barrel and the .50AE barrel. They are fun to shoot, but they are a 70oz. gun. About the same weight as a .500 Smith. Not...

I love my Model 19-3 2 1/2" but I agree that the M-60 3" is probably a better carry gun. My son has the M60 and I think for some reason I can shoot it better than my M19. Just me I guess.
