Fantastic!!! This is what i needed! Thank you so much!

Outpost,
I've seen folks mention thinning the rim from the front. How is this done?

Glad to help. Its been fun working on this with few resources.

I have read that most were 44's but there were some 450's as well. Either way, why is the muzzle bore so much smaller than anything else? I could understand maybe a 44 with a 42 maybe or 45 with 43.

I've just found (actually hanging on a nail in an old garage) a Forehand and Wadsworth British Bulldog in this same caliber. After I get a trigger spring from wolf, I'll be looking for the same info.

I am wanting to remove the parkerization from my RIA 1911 so I can rust blue it. Will ospho or the phosphoric acid/naval jelly remove the finish?
Thanks!

Thanks. centerfire systems has this for sale for 250. found a stock for about 60 in good shape just after I posted the above thread.
I'm debating on a restoration or just getting a yugo for 400. I...

I"m looking at one of these on line. Metal looks pretty good. Missing handguard on some, cracked on others. Wood looks pretty iffy. The two people who gave reviews gave the rifles good marks....

Welcome to the disease lol!

If you want a good idea of how the PC will hold up (I'm not a stickler for it being "pretty") I do three things.
One. Figure out how thick it is. Max would be .002. obviously, you measure a raw...

Let me know how that bullet runs in your auto's. My beretta and shield hated it. Jam masters. In my model 10 they were perfection with 7.2gr of aa5 (powder coated". Im trying the TC version now....

Agree. Stick ons are only good to make harder alloys softer. 45acp and similar can do that. PC the bullets and you can still get your velocity up. They could do well in front stuffers tho.

I ve bad luck with my autoloaders and that mold. Have lots of hang ups in my beretta and shield.
That being said, its amazing for my smith model 10 38spl. 15 yards 1 ragged hole.

Curious.
When the manual doesnt show ANY pressures, is this due to the pressure being so low you cant hurt anything?
Rather like h4895 and 556 "heavy" loads with 75 gr bullets? That cartridge cant...

Bonus! My choice is made then.

Imagine that. An answer from my own beloved Texas!

I've seen some loads using actual rifle powder. I'm just a bit squeemish about doing that in a gew 88...

I'm glad this thread is still somewhat active!
I've been loading for about 30 years but have just started casting (loving it!).
i've just started casting. My pistol stuff is going quite well....

What overall length are yall using with the Lee molds. It'll be a bit till i can afford a good spire tip mold.
