I have RCBS dies with different style decapping rods. Small thread that goes in a nut; larger thread that threads into the body; And a compression collet type. I look on line and only see the...

I tried 158 grain .357 XTP's in my bear creek upper. even using the bottom charge of LiL-Gun shown for the 170 grain (27 grains) it went substantially over pressure. The second round blew the primer...

Well, the results are in. 20 round through the Rossi 92. Accuracy was not good. Good enough I guess but nothing to be excited about. Plus at the lowest setting the gun still shot 8" high. The bullets...

Unchecked powder coat at 2000 fps. I know people say it's fine but it's outside my experience.
I guess I learn today, headed for the range with that exact load. I made damn sure that coating cured...

A guy I know, long time caster, told me he killed a deer with a Rossi 92 in 357. He said he used a powder coated 125 grain Lee TL boolit and 20.5 grains of H110. Looking at the manual that's would be...

I have 15 handgun deer to my name. That goes back to the days Ohio was shotgun, muzzleloader or pistol. The first one I shot with a hot stepping 180 grain sierra 44. Big mistake. Had I not hit her at...

Well, whatever that is they are working very well. hammer test is good, no fouling in the gun. I figure if it's smoking it has to be hot enough.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Here's the thing. I read 20 minutes at 400 degree's. Mine run for ten to twelve and they are smoking. And they pass the hammer test.

So I have these 166 grain lee .358's cast. They will be powder coated with Eastwood Ford Blue. Run ahead of 15-17 grains of LiL-Gun in my Rossi 92, should I expect powder or jacket (...

They cast as .358 not .458 like I said.

They are +P. The M200 says "Limited use of +p loads." So these will be in the GP-100 only.
I loaded 60 with 3.5 grains BE for the Rock Island. I'm not afraid of failure in the pistol, I just...

I had considered shooting those wadcutters in only the 357 GP-100. These are actually button nose H&G #50 BB.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Loading for my Rock Island 200 and my GP-100 I made 50 148 grain BB wadcutters with 4.5 grains bullseye. Data for the HBWC is abundant but rather sparse for the BB wadcutter. 4.5 is max in the Speer...

Taper crimp or roll crimp on 38 full wadcutters. BB wadcutters. I'm thinking taper crimp since they are mixed headstamp and it would seem the would be slightly different in length. I'm thinking a...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Disagree. I've tried it on bullets I've had stored. It worked but took a whole lot more shaking then didn't coat as well.
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I am finding much better results if I powder coat the bullets right after I cast them. Just when the come down to room temperature. The only thing I can figure is there is no time for oxidation to...

Cabela's went down the crapper when it got bought out. Even the attitude of the workers is different. You can tell when a work force is distressed.

That goes together with the 8 pounds of 231 I have and that 130 pounds of hardball alloy. I'll be powder coating them with Eastwood ford blue.

My wife got me a Springfield Armory Range Officer for Christmas. I think she likes me a little bit. I have wanted one for a long time.
I went to Caballas to look at one. I asked the guy to remove...

Not going to be a bunch of them. I just want to kill a deer with a pure lead paper patched boolit and hit him hard.
Why, just because I want to.
Forum: Cast Boolits
And these are going to be paper patched. They are actually .452 bullets patched up. I will eventually try some full throttle.
