What is the Las Vegas shoot at Desert Sportsman’s, dates, description, etc?

Thanks Kurt!

Kurt, where do you get the 3mm ceramic balls? The inside of my cases never come out bright and shiny no matter what I’ve tried.

Thanks Chris, that’s very helpful, especially your comment on MV consistency leading to the vertical issue. There are so many variables!

Can anyone who has done substantive testing comparing veg wads, LDPE wads, and grease cookies, wiping between each shot for all of them, share the methodology and results of their tests? It would...

Do choked bores really improve accuracy?

Exactly what is this and how is it done? Will paraffin canning wax yield good chamber casts?

Thank you Mike, that’s reassuring. What has been your experience with weighed vs volume measured loads? And drop tube or no drop tube?

Thanks for the resposes ij and cj. I don’t have a chrono so I’ll take your word on it and take some extra loads to the next lr match to try.

I don’t understand how compressing affects combustion, it seems like an imprecise task that depends upon several factors such as consistency in how one pours into a drop tube, height, powder lot etc....

I shoot an early Uberti 1876 rifle in 45-60 with cut down WW brass. RCBS 45-FN-300 GC bullet, 318 gr, 25.0 gr of #5744, WLR primer. 2.5" to 3.0" 5-shot groups at 100 yards off bench on a good day...

I've been casting with a Lyman 311008 mold but would like to try a mold with a gas check, same bullet weight. any recommendations? I have a late model Marlin 1894 and prefer shooting loads in the...

Thank you all for your suggestions. I cranked up the heat and the bullets are looking better. I cleaned the mold with brake cleaner before I started, and am using a Lee bottom pour 10-pound pot. My...

Is there a trick to using aluminum molds? I just bought a Lee 309-150 to cast for my Marlin 30-30 and no matter what temperature I cast at, 700 - 800, I get wrinkled bullets. Maybe my thermometer is...

BR, check your PM’s

Me too! Rollers rule.

I'd like to hear from folks shooting the 45-60 with black powder. I've found a good load for my Uberti using AA5744 but am not there yet in finding a good black powder load which has been my goal...

Kurt, I shoot a Uberti 1873 carbine in .44-40 and love it, it's what I shoot at the lever matches. I load the Accurate 210B bullet with OE1.5(because that's all I have). 200 yards is the furthest...
