I've been using a Hornady LNL progressive for about 13 years. Maybe a little more finicky than what I've seen on line of the Dillon stuff but it works for me. I mostly load pistol cartridges on it...

I've got 2 Model 60s. The first one was a Christmas present in I think 1978 as it is a "special edition" Model 6079 with a kind of cheap brass medallion in the butt stock. I shot a heck of a lot of...

I had gotten pretty serious about working up loads for my Pedersoli 1874 in 2019.

Well, I went ahead and ordered the Lyman unit from Midsouth Shooters Supply. Once I've gotten it and had a chance to give it a test drive I'll post a review.

I have a lot of Lee tools, most of them are pretty decent, never cared for their powder measures though. My modified 4-20 will be kept in case whichever bottom pot machine I get doesn't give me good...

I've decided to buy a new furnace and have narrowed my choices to either the Lyman Mag 25 or the RCBS Pro Melt 2.
I cast primarily pistol boolits, .38 and .45 caliber with some .30 cal rifle...

I got tired of futzing with it and sealed the hole and took the mechanism out converting it to a dipper pot.

I've been doing business with MidwayUSA for close to 20 years. I've never had a problem with an order from them.
I have had a few problems with Fedex, UPS and USPS mishandling and even misdelivering...

Started casting 20 some odd years ago with a small cast iron pot on an ancient Coleman stove converted to propane. Did pretty well for years casting with a dipper. Scored a well seasoned Lee bottom...

I still use a couple of Stanley hand planes that belonged to my grandfather. I have a few others that I use that I've picked up here and there that date to the end of the 19th century and early 20th....

Whats a better match than a lever action rifle and single action revolver chambered for the same round?

About 25 miles or so, NE Rogers County. :)

Marlin 1894, .45 Colt
Happened to see this one a week or so ago at my local gun shop. They had 4 Marlin lever guns on the rack. Three new ones, a 336 in 35 Remington, a 336 in .30-30, this 1894 in...

I took dad's 572 down to the range yesterday. The date code on the barrel comes up 2/60. He bought it new in the Spring of 1960.
He put the cheap Optex scope on it sometime in the late '80s as he...

Well, I "bit the bullet" and ordered a mould from Buffalo Arms. Ordered on Sept 10, delivered on Oct 10. https://www.buffaloarms.com/459-535-grain-postell-1-cavity-bullet-mould-jim459535p1

The best loads I've managed so far with the 457125 have the first lube groove exposed.
I've got to cast up another batch and load some more and decide what direction I need to try.
I had used...

Being a cheapskate I keep a few odd items around that I have weighed and verified the weight for checking my scales. I've got a copper penny that I scratched the weight into, a 158gr jacketed bullet...

I'm planning on giving that a try next time I hit the casting bench but can you really have too many moulds?

I'm thinking that is pretty much what was happening. I'm finding out this BPCR stuff is more different than casting and reloading for smokeless than I thought it would be, some of us are hard headed...

I may not be in as bad a shape as I think, maybe.
I was able to do some shooting this morning at my 50 yard practice range. (I know shooting a 1874 Sharps at 50 yards is practically sacrilege but...

Thanks for the input guys.
I'm going to load up and shoot some of what I've got cast from my 457125 and see what they do then make a decision on a new mould.

I own approximately 9000 lbs of lead.
Unfortunately, about 8500 lbs of it is tied up in sailboat keels.

I've got a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps "business rifle".

I picked the rifle up almost 10 years ago and got a Lyman 457125 mould to feed it. Cast up a bunch using COWW + a little tin and linotype, pretty...
