Brick196, I understand completely. I'm shooting a 45 colt and buying these gets expensive quick. I bought several hundred of cast off GunBroker and when they arrived, most of the lube was gone. I...

I was given some IMR 4895 when I first started reloading. It worked well but when I got low powder was scarce. I tried H4895 and found that it was slightly more accurate possibly because it does...

Thank you very much for the help. I don't buy powder online because, IMO, the hazmat fee is a major ripoff. Gun powder takes a considerable effort to ignite and it's not really shipped any...

I would help you but I only have a 255 RF mold. Missouri makes a decent bullet it nothing like PC. Rainier's are great if you want plated. I could probably send some of mine if you're interested. ...

Brick196, I did the same thing but I was closer to 200. Use less boolits at a time first for less combined heat. Second, the coating isn't fully cured so it will come of if soaked in acetone. I...

U_235, powder coating usually adds about 1-3 thousandths per side. I get about 1.5 mil thickness so that is a total of .003. I didn't like the tumble coating because it can't be controlled and I...

I shot 30 PCed boolits yesterday pushed by some Trailboss. The bore was very clean so I tried 15 rounds of the SWC from Straight Shooters and there's a little lead in the cone and a little more...

What started me thinking about it was the fact that I have a Mosin Nagant. I also have a bunch of .308 bullet for 30-30 and 308, and some .310 for 7.62x39. The ESPC is pretty uniform at about 1.5...

Well, I just checked the Radical Firearms website. It seems that they did go up to $640 for a complete build like I have. IMO, they are worth twice that. They are every bit as good as my Sig or...

I bought one of the Anderson Lowers last year from Primary Arms, I believe it was $40 then also but I walked in. I also bought one of their branded Red Dot sights for my wife. They are very well...

I was wondering if anyone has tried powder coating as a way to compensate for oversized bores. I just started PCing and am really surprised by the adhesive strength of this coating. I started...

I went to a gun show and a couple of gun shops looking for TinStar and 5744 powder. I couldn't find either one but while I was driving, I was thinking and decided to stop by a Harbor Freight on the...

This sounds interesting to me. If I ever buy a 38 with a 4-6" barrel, that would be a good round to carry for the pesky raccoons we have at our deer feeders. The#1 buckshot loads work well but the...

Well, I tried the softer cast boolits lubed with 45-45-10 loaded with 6.2 gr of Titegroup. There was a little less lead at the forcing cone, but this time there was heavy leading from one end to the...

I think there is a lot of good advice given so far. I can't help but think that you haven't done a lot of pistol shooting because you mentioned not trusting your eyes. Maybe you meant you're just...

I know that it's not the correct way, but I used a set of internal calipers. While my actual readings weren't correct. The fact that the cylinder throats on mine consistently read smaller than the...

Tackleberry41, thanks for the advice on powder. I've read on here that many claim Universal to be as good as Unique and even that it is to be loaded gr for gr. I'm not seeing that at all. I'm...

I don't think I would try it in a low pressure handgun, however factory 7.62x39 ammo is made with .310 and .311 bullets. Many American made rifles in this chambering use .308 barrels. I haven't...

I just got through cleaning up the BH and would like to make a correction to my last comment. There was leading present but it was considerably less with the Titegroup loads compared to the...

+1 on lucky draw with your cylinder throats. Mine were very undersized which was resulting in terrible accuracy. Doug Guy fixed that and today I shot my first 6 shot group that was below 4 inches...

I tried another 18 rounds today but these were loaded with 6.5 gr of Titegroup. Which should be a little over the standard pressure level. I used the same boolits with the same lube. The only...

This is kinda depressing but mostly just difficult. I'll chime in anyway.

When I was younger, a 12 guage would've been my pick but as I get older I find that I often need both hands free while...

It wouldn't surprise me to find Tula primers a bit harder but the Winchesters shouldn't be. Federal might help, but honestly I think the problem is one or more of 3 things that the others have...

I'm not using the 300 Blackout, but my wife and I each have ARs in 7.62x39. Ballistically, both rounds are almost identical on the top end. We are using 16" barrels and in these efficient...

Does anyone know where I can get Vihtavuori powder in the Houston or surrounding areas? I'm thinking about trying Tin Star but I haven't seen this brand of powder at any local businesses. I tried...
