I posted this on another thread but midway is having a great sale on the RCBS primer pocket swager. Swaging the pocket is much faster and more repeatable than trying to cut it out. And you don't...

I use the RCBS primer pocket swager. Just looked and midway has it on a great sale for only $25.

Good info.......but I doubt he used a 32-somethig bullet or he wouldn't have been as well known. :-?

Famous last words but it is hard to blow up overloading with 4831. Usually it is too slow.

Do not just "wing it" and guess on a load but if you have a chrony start with a load for a smaller...

I was reading some back issues of American Handgunner circa 1977 last night. They had an issue focusing on the 357 and I saved this screenshot of loads. Interesting reading these old mags and...

I shot thousands of pulled USGI and new surplus FN bullets in the 90's when they were selling for well under 10 cents each (shipped). And I was getting 2-5 inch groups from my GI Garands. Since...

Seems people like red but no matter what vendor you choose it is not he best PC color to buy. Are they still channeling the old Harbor freight days?

In full disclosure.....I still have 1/2 a...

What is not mentioned by the Fryxell article these "Express bullets" were designed to have a much higher muzzle velocity and putting in a HP nose was the easiest way to get there. That is why they...

50% lead : 50% pewter. If you check out a few thrift stores you should be able make it for under $5 a pound. I wouldn't use wheel weights since they have very little tin and you don't need to...

You should try some anti seize on the screw and spring. I use this on all of my molds and it does make a difference. I also use it as the lube for the pins and spreading a little on the top of the...

I doubt you will be able to find the ammo at the end of 2005. When S&W starts closing out the only two pistols chambered for it less than 2 years after the introduction it is obvious that things...

You will never get a plug to match so why not go in a different direction? Get some epoxy, mix it with carbon black and fill the holes. Then pretend it is an ebony insert. Once the epoxy sets...

It is interesting there are so many recommendations for a GC bullet. Not sure why this would be needed since most peoples shoulders had more than enough by the time you get to 1500-1600 FPS.

Adding linotype /monotype to a pot does give some oatmeal at first. But when you flux it good it all goes in. The real oatmeal is usually from calcium when it is combined with an alloy with...

Looking at your video closer I see it now. After the click some powder comes out but I don't think it is static.

I do notice the safety return rod (with the spring and white thing) is getting...

That pop you hear is where the powder funnel got stuck and is quickly releasing bumping the case and spilling the powder. Look at the expander and see if there are machine marks and polish it till...

Not sure why not eating bread would work. It is not a high purine food to be avoided. Yes it has traces of yeast in it but the purine to calorie ratio is probably lower than the foods you...

Are you casting with a harder alloy than usual? Some can be hard to break open once the lead hardens and cools too much. Once you mold is up to temp don't let the mold rest as long and try and...

Good eye! Alliant list a max of 9.7gr with a 110 gr bullet and 7.7gr with a 158. The 358429 and the OP's bullet are even heavier. This is twice now where someone recently quoted a Unique load way...

The OP does need to try and calculate how much the bullet sticks into the case. But if it is the same as a 358429 a load of 15.2 gr H110/W296 might be OK even though the load is listed for a lighter...

Not too impressive............

From the article shooting a 9mm. It does better in a .38 at 1000 fps but I wouldn't bother with a .357.

There have been supposed remedies for gout for millennia and home remedies don't work. There is so much quackery out there like sugar or coffee causes gout but uric acid can only be made by the...

If you are even mentioning Buffalo bore loads to not try to get anywhere close with Unique. For me 11g of Unique in a 44 mag is max pressure wise and might start to get squirrelly. I would have...

Bummer......Not worth the drive or even gas money from SE Pa.

I would never drill out a primer flash hole to make a load work. No idea what your load is (need a lot more information) but my first thought is to use a faster powder. Or bump up the powder...
