My stainless .45 Colt 24 inch Navy Arms (Rossi) shoots hard cast RNFPs over 6.1 TiteGroup very well. Also soft cast Big Lube Boolits over anywhere from 28 grains to 40 grains (yes, one can get 40...

My Marlin .357 spent over ten years riding in a county cruiser in a rural county. It shoots hard cast boolits well, as well as the heavier JHPs. It also shoots softer cast boolits at modest...

Since we do not know the twist rate of your rebored '92 it would be best to buy boolits in small batches. Some will not fling the heavier bullets point on. If you can find some cowboy type boolits ,...

My 1894 Marlin feeds SWCs as long as I make the OAL as short as a factory .357 lead semiwadcutter, the old fashioned factory load that one doesn't see anymore. And I must work the lever...

Assuming your alloy and sizing are up to the task you can use Hodgdon's LilGun and H110 loads for the jacketed boolits out of their website with those 250 Gr. alloy boolits, I have run them in my...

I have clones of the Colt SSA so my cast loads are all within SAAMI Specs. My heavy loads for my '92 clone are always loaded with jacketed so I don't accidentally blow my fool head off.

Anyhow I...

Some years back I "spaypainted" a bunch of cast boolits in .30 caliber for my .30-06 and in .357 for my .38s and .357s. I used Midway"s Dropout graphite mold release. I used every load in the .38s...

All I know is back before anyone ever heard of cartridge collecting and I was still in school there was a big renovation out in the country where I grew up. It had much to do with water, some of the...

You will want one of the round flat noses, they feed better. Lee seems to have two, the 200 grain, which should be fine for general shooting and even hunting up to smallish deer, say a Texas...

You can indeed trim to the length of your chamber IF you trim every time. Now the bad news of that idea is that sooner or later one or two cases might slip through, untrimmed.

Of course if that...

The worst of this round of shortages may be ending. I dropped by my component store and they had Remington, CCI and Mag Tech primers in Large Pistol, Winchesters in Large Rifle, plus several others. ...

Well, yeah it will lead. Will it be a nightmare to clean? Shouldn't be that big a deal, spray it full of that foaming gunk, let it sit, patch it out. If it's still all grungy after a couple of...

My oldest are ones are Phil Sharpe's second and third editions and Townsed Whelen's "why Not Load Your Own. These were not bought new, I've only been loading since 1959 although I tried to help...

Mostly when bullets lead it's because the alloy is too hard and the bullets aren't slugging up to fit the barrel. With the .45 ACP we have a different problem, very shallow rifling. The bullets skid...

Let's see, my 24 inch Navy Arms stainless "92 clone likes the Lee RNFP and just loves the Big Lube Pigeon Roost Slim 2250 grain over black. It likes the Remington swaged lead 250 grain, also,...

I'll try to explain this business of powder burning rate and bullet hardness for you, Gunslinger. Now this assumes that all things but powder are equal and, of course, they never are.

The slower...

The fact that most folks like the 20 inch better has nothing to do with which is really better. The 24 inch straight oct. barrel hangs steadier than the 20 inch, the extra weight out front is useful....

Pepe Ray, I buy the Remington Swaged Lead Bullets at Midway, they are not the only ones selling them, either. Price has gone up lately, they were $25.00 per 500 a couple years ago, now they are up to...

If you melt some pure beeswax into a thin sheet it makes a better overpowder wad than a card wad does. The beeswax will not allow any bullet lube to contaminate the powder. Then a dab of bullet lube...

I've been shooting those Remington swaged lead .45 bullets for a lot of years. Somehow they got rid of the deep hollow base and now there is just a slight indentation. Trouble is, the old deep...
