Thanks a bunch, just ordered a universal expander and the expander from NOE
Has anyone had problems expanding their 41 Special cases? I have read and searched this thread but can’t find any information on my problem. I have Lee and RCBS dies, neither will expand my brass, it...

I have test loads ready with H4895 and Trail Boss. Going to try some 2400 also. You can never find 5744 around here or I would try it also. Thanks very much for the info and help.
What do you all use when loading test loads? I usually load up 5 rounds of each, its a big hassle to keep changing powder in the measure and readjusting it. Is there something out there that is quick...

Tried out the 4198 in the 357 Max this evening. Loaded some test rounds with 4198 and 2400, the 2400 didn't do well but I found a starting point with the 4198. Average velocity was 1696. I'm going to...

I do plan on hunting with it. If the 1800 fps load shoots accurate that will be great. I have some test loads loaded with 2400 also that I'm going to try. Just trying to use the powder I have to...

Anybody using IMR 4198 in the 357 Max? I have found some information on it and would like to try it. Will be using it for a rifle load shooting 35-200 boolits.

Neither of the twins have been shot yet. The Encore 30-30 did a good job on a doe last fall, I'm still working on loads for it also. I have the test loads ready, waiting on some decent weather.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Would love to find one myself, been looking for a while.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Here's the twins, 45/70 and 35 Remington, and the Prohunter in 30-30. Have boolits casted and loaded, just need some good weather to get to the range.

What about mounting a scope on it?I've read some of them are not drilled and tapped.

I'm looking real hard at a Savage 340 in 30-30 Win. The rifle is in very good condition. I have handled them a few times but never shot one. Looking for some info on it, it has no serial number on...

Just ordered a NOE 360 180GR WFN mold for my 35 Remington and I'm not finding much load data. I have manuals from Hornady, Sierra, Barnes, Nosler and the Hodgdon. Only Hodgdon gives data for the 180...

I use the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual a lot now that I'm cast, will refer to the Lyman 49th some. I also use my Sierra a lot, seems like it has some loads you don't see in other manuals.

I've stocked up through the panic, but if things loosen up I won't hesitate stock up more.

I made a stand to hold two powder measures, just swing the one you want around in front.

Seems like I always have to recycle several before they start looking good.
Forum: Hunting with CB's
I agree it is very rewarding and I've only been casting for 8 or 10 months now. My problem now is that I have more guns with cast bullet loads than I can get deer tags for.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
The Handi in 35 Remington/444 is on the way, I'll have a 444 barrel for sell soon. Dies and brass are ordered, just have to get a mold now. Think I'm going with the NOE 360 200Gr. FN 4 cavity GC...
