THIS!

I have stainless New Vaqueros in 38/357. Also blued Original Vaqueros in 45 Colt. Built like tanks. Load ‘em up and chootem!

Lotsa fun and can also use smokeless. What’s not to like. ...

Sounds like an expensive fix. Think I’ll send it back if I get one like that. Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t realize they were that hard.

Call Midway. They will take it back and replace or refund.

Yup. Lee Turret press.

This is good news. I also use the 38 S&W expander in my 9mm die. Works great. I’ll have to order replacement expanders for my pistol die sets.

Yep. Final size to 309

Please don’t post this! What if someone had Bullseye or similar powder and took your advice. Definitely way too hot. Probably about a bomb going off in your hand.
Very unsafe to load a full case...

My 336 likes the Lyman 31141 sized at 309. Gas checked, powder coated and grease lube. Loaded on top of 29 grains of IMR 4895. On the road right now and don’t remember the OAL. If I remember right,...

Ooooooookay…..

Please clue us in. Maker, cost, availability, etc….. Details please.

Another plus with APP is that it makes its own lube. You do not have to use BP compatible lube with it. You can use a bare bullet, powder coated, smokeless lube or BP lube. This is a nice featur3 for...

APP. American Pioneer Powder. Web site here.

Use it by VOLUME. Loosely fill case to base of bullet. Do not compress the powder when...

My Marlin 336 is micro groove also. Here is a 50 yard target with a Lyman 31141 powder coated bullet. Weigh about 175 grains and were sized at 309. Pushed with 29 grains of IMR 4895.
Not too bad...

Might I suggest using APP instead of real BP? Cleanup with water and a lot less corrosive. Also easier to load as it doesn’t get compressed in the case prior to installing the bullet. Also lots more...

If your thumb is hitting anything when you cycle the action, you need to retrain your thumb. I shoot cowboy action with a 92 and keep my thumb out away from the action.
But you should also take...

Go to the hardware store and pick up a Century C-530 spring. Only a couple of bucks. Work great it mine. They may be a bit different length, but they are lighter wire and work great.

Another thing to note. You can use a gas check on a softer bullet and not have leading. This works great for a hunting bullet that you want to keep soft (maybe 50/50 pure and wheel weights) for...

I too have been having issues uploading pics to S&S. Hope it gets fixed.

BNE. Sounds like you are not interested in performance, just trying to get the biggest boom and fireball. This sounds like a lesson in futility trying to use 110 powder. Not going to tell you not to,...

I have the Cast Bullet #3. It does list HS 7 with a wadcutter. If you want a copy, PM your email and I’ll send it to you.

I tried to attach that page, but it won’t work. Probably just me.
...

Last I saw it in a store was Hobby Lobby. Michaels used to carry it, don’t know if they still do.

On this site, Randy Rat sometimes has it available.

If I read the Ops post correctly, he is powder coating THEN applying the plain base gas check. This results in the bullet base being a tad bigger than on a bare bullet. This may make it harder to...

Might want to ask him if he is having any issues when chambering a round. Does it slide in easily or does he need to force it. There may be an issue in the chamber itself. Maybe something stuck in...

Poppy42, I don’t think there is an equivalent to Win 244. It is a fairly new powder, formulated to be more environmentally friendly to make and supposedly clean burning. I am asking if anyone has...
