Thanks for the replies. I like the 629s and any Ruger that will fit my large hand. I shot a very old 7 1/2" BH in 45 with a 255lswc and LilGun powder that almost jumped out of my hand. It had tiny...

I should have put a title of Recommendations-44 Mag, because reading that post made me wonder what people thought. I guess this ones already been talked about but I wondered what CB shooters thought...
I saw a picture and write up about a limited run 50th Anv flattop Black Hawk in 44mag with 6 1/2" barrel, blued. Looked very nice but didn't say how long the cylinder was or what the chamber or...

I taken tumble-lubed boolits and sprinkled some mica on them and shook them up in another plastic dish with lid and it seemed to spread over all the boolits just fine.

I've got a GP100 with a large gap but I plan to use mag primers with the WC820 and if that don't work, buy some small rifle primers to try.

Lee's liquid alox may be better for that but I have started rubbing some Imperial on my first boolit into my Ly. lubisizer till things get lubed up a bit.

Many loads have worked well in my 30-06 with gc'ed lead boolits. Two easy loads were a 170grn boolit with 36.0grn of 4895 or 4064 for 2170fps or 2100fps.

I am interested in the 7mm soupcan. If it's made to shoot in 7mms with short necks, that's what I need. My Ly. 287346-135grn mold doesn't do just right with my 7-08. And I have a Saeco 145 grn fn...

I ordered 8#'s of 4895 and WC820(n) from Hitech ammo out of St. Louis. I ordered online but wish I had called instead. I never did get to see the final bill with the hazmat added but the shipping was...

I was going to get a 762X39 barrel for my handi but started reading posts that said you couldn't shoot the cheap store ammo in them, something about the primers. I would mostly use handloads but I...

Me too. My 788 Rem in 7-08 has a 18 1/2" barrel and I just love it except for the looks and weight. I looked all around for a 700 Classic with a 24" barrel but couldn't find one.

Thanks Sundog,
I may have to get a jug of that. Felix said it may vary 10% in speed, and that makes sense, but I got to thinking of 3031 to 4064-4320 and that's still usefull.

I would like to ask if the surp 4895 is stick or ball powder? Are any of the surp powders stick or all they mostly ball type?

Calhunter,
I have been using lino/ww ingots and some pure lead sheeting ingots for my 30/30 boolits. I'm using the RCBS 180 and 150FN molds. My boolits need to be .310" from the mold and if I go...

My uses of the Lee neck collet die has shown that you need to use a single stage press and spin the case about 1/3 and size three times to get the smallest dia without taking the rod out and sanding...

I've use regular AA2520 powder in the 30/30 with cast (194grn) and mine seems a tad faster than 4064 or 4320 in the smaller case. But I have a jug of military surplus 2230-C that's close to the 2520...

I don't know that much about heat treating but bought a little oven to do that in. Then I bought 50lbs of lino-monotype and my heat treating got side-tracked. I've read of guys heat treating for 1...

Brian,
That's the trouble I'm having. I've got ingots of ww, range scrap, lino from BHN19-22. I've been trying to mix in some ingots of sheet lead that's almost pure and got my BHN down to 8 or 9...

I had another testing with the 194grn RCBS-30-180FN in my 20" 30/30 using some of the same powders adjusted up or down and a few different powders using WLR primers. I compressed 34.5grns XMR4350 for...
