P. Flados: thanks for all that info. Was your 10" bbl a 1:14 twist? I ask since I have the NOE version of the Lyman 311041 180gr RNFP (1 PB, 1GC). I used the plain based boolits to fire form 50...

190489Got bit by the contender bug. Picked up a 1975 frame with a 357 mag oct bbl back in October. Then I grabbed a 10" 30 Herrett bbl for Christmas and a set of dies. Have fireformed my first 200...

Thanks for all your replies. Yes, I am aware of the endless number of variables that will affect the way a projectile does or does not expand. Case in point, I actually fired three of those boolits...

As a young man, back in the '70's, I started hand loading for 38spcl and 30-30. I drank all the industry cool aid regarding the controlled expansion properties of j-words, which ...

Rintinglen: What does the "W" stand for in WFN? Also, does that longer nose profile stay within oal restrictions for the Vaquero and Uberti 1866?

I am the happy owner of several NOE molds and have been looking hard at Al's 454-255-SWC RG2. I'm wondering if this would be a good jack-of-all-trades boolit in my 1911 45acp; Vaquero 45 Colt; as...

Thanks guys. That's kind of what I thought, but just wanted some fresh eyes on the subject to make sure I don't endanger myself or the gun. Meanwhile, I've loaded up some 150 gr j-words over 27...

Hey folks, I'm pretty stoked about my first '94. Picked it up last weekend. Saw it on a used rack at Cabela's when I really wasn't looking. Thing is, this one was made the same year I was! 1953, or...

I was looking at the older Lyman books the other night and noticed data for Green Dot, in both 45acp and 45 Colt. Anyone tried this? I bought a lb from LGS a few years back during the shortage when...

Thanks for all the replies. I should have mentioned that I do shoot Goex in my Uberti 1866. It has a 24" bbl and the Lee boolits are lubed with my version of the old "Emmerts" lube (45%...

I currently cast the 255gr Lee Boolit for 45 Colt. Works well enough in my Uberti Yellowboy, but the lube grooves are small and the 24" barrel runs out of lube about 4 inches from the muzzel. Also,...

Nope, that is a Marlin 357 Magnum that recently got traded after the Missus decided she'd like to have a CHL pistol. That's a whole nuther story, but the 1866 is my only rifle at the moment. I...

Got my "product arrival notification" email from Midway at 8:34am. I placed the order at 8:35!!! :grin: Hallalulah
BTW, I'm getting the Lee 356-102-RN 2-cavity to use in 380acp and 9mm. Hope they...

+ 1 on the flask. My replica flask has several spouts, one of which holds 30 grains of FFFg or FFg for my Uberti colt 1860s. I use this spout in cartridge loading for my 45 colt rifle (Uberti 1866...

or can I hunt deer and hogs with my Uberti 1866 Winchester in 45 Colt? I'd use my cast Lee 255 gr. RNFP with either 30 grains of FFg BP or a standard pressure smokeless load, say 8 grains of...

I recently ran into this exact scenario with my Lee sizer. But I agree, shoot some first before going to the trouble to open up the sizer die. My boolits came out .451, too, but they perform great...

As I've stated in several other posts, I recently got my first mold from NOE (454-230-RN - [H&G #34]). This mold gave great results from the very start. I'm a convert! Thanks for a great product...

Was looking to increase my powder stash today at LGS and all they had was Green Dot. I'm thinking of it for use in 38spcl/357mag, 380acp, 9mm, and 45acp. Anybody like this powder for those...

Not to highjack, but I have the "traditional" Lee WC (3 lube rings/crimp groove/slightly extended nose). Is this a direct copy of the H&G #50 or is there a difference in profile/dimensions?

I'm not a lawyer, but my main concern sounds a bit selfish in this time of crisis. I'm going to hang on to my lead, given the precarious future of components, especially lead, which is having to...

Well, I've just started casting for 45acp and for my first project, I chose the NOE .454 230gr. RN (H&G #34) which is billed as having the correct military ball profile . Mine is a 4 cavity and I've...

I realized my question wasn't clear as stated in my OP. What I'm asking is, are there any PAN Lube recipes that incorporate LLA with beeswax. I'd like to add LLA as an ingredient in a beeswax-based...

Sounds like a Wild Bunch match may be for you. +1 on the black powder out of vaqueros. That's the way nature intended it!

As others more knowledgeable have stated, "size does matter". But I'll tell my story. Got my 1911 in Jan and ran some boolits cast with a Lee 452-228-1R mold. After I figured out that the seating...
