I feed 44.5 grains of Reloader 7 under a 400 grain Speer Jacketed bullet to break in a badger barrel in .45/70 and it was a great combo. Chrony was 9 feet from muzzle, 98 degree day and it averaged...

I tried some Unique in my 45-70 Cowboy and was pleasantly...

Stephen - Sir - I have been shooting a .300 grain Keith type boolit from a Lee mold in a Ruger .45 Blackhawk (had the gun 25 years) with a 4 5/8" barrel loading 22 Grains of WW-296 (same as H-110) -...

I have never had the opportunity to shoot the .458 Mag. but I have shot lots of IMR-3031 in a .45-70 at the mid 30's to low 40's (35 - 40 grains) pushing both the .430 grain Ranchdog mold boolit...

I like IMR-3031 in almost any of my .45-70 loads that I build for a Remington R.B. # 5 because the manuals seem to indicate this powder produces overall the LEAST amount of CUP pressure. Largest...

My son-in-law and I shoot a Llama .380 (1911 Frame style) and a Bersa .380 both with a semi-wad cutter Lee mold that is supposed to cast a 105 grain, but in actuality cast more like a 100 grain of...

Gentlemen, I am looking for a mold that will cast .460 in a light weight (250 - 300) or even lighter. I want something for plinking and "vermin" shooting. Lots of coyotes in my neck of the woods.

Mr. Marlinman93 - Yes Sir, Mr. Stallman at Badger Barrels cut this one at 1 - 16 twist. I do not remember suggesting to him that it be this fast, but I would rather have a problem of spinning a slug...

Mr. jh45gun: Thank you so very much for this help. I have no intentions of pushing my .45/70 hard, but just wondering about the ability to SAFELY reduce the arch. I found Mr. Garbe's web site and...

Mr. jh45gun - thank you very much for the information. When I get a little more time I want to ask a few more questions, specifically about your loads you are using. Would love to have more...

Mr. John Boy - Sir, sometimes it seems I might be a little slow to pick up on things - I have the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, Third Edition, by C. Kenneth Ramage, Editor. This is NOT the publication...

A couple of years back, I traded for a Remington Rolling Block receiver, which I believe to be a No. 5 receiver. When I received it, there was a 6" piece of the barrel still attached (the chamber...

Gentlemen HELP Please. I am shooting a .45-70, .45 Colt, .38/.357 Mag cast reloads in several different boolit weights. I have found sitting in a gun shop, two 4 lb cans of WW-AA - Lite shotgun...
