Unfortunately I have no idea what some of the items are being suggested. I need to go back, buy dinner for him, and take some pictures.
Good Morning, an old friend is downsizing and has offered me several contender barrels in .223, 45-70, 44 mag, 22 wm, and 35 Remington. My familiarity with these is pretty low. From what i can...
I'll be happy with a good walking stick, bear spray and a knife.
I already determined that I would not do that. That question would be a conversation in much greater depth if I had decided to pursue it. That question was posed here to generate discussion, and...
I agree with not doing it. Once I spent some time on the ca firearm website I just threw my hands up.
Family friend invited me and suggested I bring something because there are known to be sightings of mountain lions where we would be. I started looking at the CA regs and I'm thinking heck no. I...

Thank you for all the suggestions, and guidance

Was thinking about possibly changing the stock to a 336 pistol grip stock, and then trying to match hardware as well. Has anyone done such a conversion? The recoil is knocking the hand holding the...

Well, my buddy decided to disassemble his loads. He said that he thought he could do better with a different powder. I just agreed that other powders could possibly be more flexible.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I agree it probably won't harm his SBH, but my concern is the lack of data in any manual for lead loads using that powder. I go strictly by the loads in books. I may change primers or switch bullet...

Have a good friend who started loading a number of years ago after he saw my set up. We've had good conversation, and shared ideas. He has always used jacketed bullets, and recently started using...

Well thank you. I think I'll just keep it around for j words, and use some AA9 for my lead loads. If it doesn't have a good track history I don't want to use it. I do like it for my 357 mag loads....

I'm not finding much data, and what data I do find is telling me to use it for heavier bullets. I ended up with 4lbs thinking I was going to reload for 350 legend, and that project is on hold. I...

Thank you everyone. I did fat finger the powder name...it's Blue Dot. I started midrange, and worked up to the 7.7gr of Blue Dot. I did want to an upper range load, but didn't like what I saw with...

Nothing special. Just a 9mm w/ ginex primer out of a sig p365xl
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was .2gr under max. I think I'm just going to go with my gut. The case was very full, the bark and the primer just worry me. Think I'll go with another powder. This is just a range load anyway.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yeah after this test batch I think im going too
Forum: Cast Boolits
These are mixed brass stamps and im using ginex primers or may use ginex primers. Had one failure to ignite after two strikes. These are just range loads I'm assembling. I tested 12. I'll have to...

I am using 7.7gr of Bluetooth under 124gr fmj in a p365xl. Has way more bark than my other reloads. I don't like the way they look. First time I'm seeing my primer look this way. 320106

Since tc bullets are longer I would think they would have a longer coal instead of being shorter.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Thank you nothing is flared. I used the Lee Taper crimp die on these. If the chamber is stepped then that could explain it. I forgot to mention that I size my bullets to 358 as well. That may...

I have cast a bunch of TLC-356-124-TC bullets. I have loaded a lot of these for my various 9's with good results, beretta, sigs, hk's... I got a strange result when I did a plunk test. I'm using...
Forum: Leverguns
I will. I briefly looked at it, but not closely. Thank you

I am really impressed with that shot. I took a nice doe at about 75 yds with m 357 rifle. Good placement and she went down. I don't think I'd try that long of a shot. Nice shooting!!
