I've got a .378 RCBS die that I'd like to open up to .379. I'd be interested in how this is best done. I don't own a lathe or machine tools, so I'm wondering what other methods there are that...

My Lyman and RCBS (lubri)sizer dies fit nicely in plastic film cannisters. The diameters can be marked on the lid, and they in turn fit nicely in a cigar box.

I'm on it Fred. Thanks a bunch!

That's always been my understanding as well. One wants to anchor a game animal quickly in heavy brush to minimize the possibility of losing a wounded animal.

Yours sounds like very sound advice HL. You evidently know about me and sharp objects. I tend to be the safest person in the world with firearms, power tools, automobiles etc., but if someone...

Could you please confirm that the Ken Waters article you mentioned is in that issue. I'm trying to gather .375 Win. reloading information and I went to the Handloader Magazine website to look up...

I just started casting lead round balls for my cap & ball revolver using a Lyman single-cavity mould. The diameter of the balls the mould drops is perfect for my pistol, but there's a somewhat...

Thanks for the reply BD, and I'll surely let you know if I run across another one. Regarding the poem, that "Colossal Wreck" part fits me perfectly.

I want a LeeLoader for my 94BB, and despair of finding one for .375 Win. I often see them for 38-55, and the exterior case dimensions seem pretty close. I wouldn't think there would be a boolit...

Thanks for the reply DLCTEX. I'll certainly note BRP Products.

My wife comes from The Panhandle too (Sundown, in Hockley Co.). I'm putting her on a plane to visit her folks tomorrow. I was born...

Thanks for the link Mark. That's a pretty interesting site. Quite honestly I never considered the 'roll your own' approach before but his design template makes it seem easy enough. I pulled down...

Thanks for the reply Maven. I've downloaded their catalog, and have noted from other threads on this forum that LBT's got a pretty good reputation. Again, thank you.

I've got a couple of Model 29's that have throat diameters of .433+, and haven't had very good results with the smaller diameter boolits my storebought (Lyman & RCBS) moulds drop. I'm coming to the...

Like JoeDaPro, I've had success with a 300 gr. cast (Saeco in my case) over 10 gr. of Unique in a Ruger Blackhawk and Winchester 94. A good though milder load is a 250 - 300 gr. castbullet over 6.5...

I've just finished working up to the maximum 3.4 gr. Titegroup loading for that bulllet in the Lyman Handbook (38 Special). I've fired them in S&W K and J Frame revolvers with no indications of...

Shotgun Sports Magazine has a store that sells a device called a "shell shark." They are inexpensive, and invaluable for dissassembling shotshells.

I've only recently started loading for my M70, using the L375499GC. I've burned 48.0 gr. Varget, and 41.5 IMR 3031 so far. The Varget load seems very promising at this point.

I use the L375499GC over 37 gr. IMR 3031 in a 375-06 Improved and I've been pretty happy with it. I haven't clocked it yet, but, I suspect I'm in the 1800-1900 area, and my accuracy is good. The...

I prefer to cast bullets with a ladle, but I find my bottom pour handy for pouring ingots.

Greetings all. This is my first post on this forum, though I've lurked for some time.

I've used this bullet in solid and HP form for some time in .44 Spl and .44 Mag. and I love it. One of the...
