Thanks but I'm in NC. I have a couple pounds of H110, WW296 and 4227 so I have powder to load. I've used 2400 with 325gn Hard Cast with good results. I'm shooting these out of a Ruger Alaskan so I...

Anyone have data for the 454 using the Cast Performance 335 SWCGC bullet and 2400 powder? I have about 5 pounds of 2400 and a couple hundred of the afore mentioned bullets but can't find any load...

Browning 1885 Hi Wall in 45 70 (Sporting Model)
I've hunted and fished in places where man is not at the top of the food chain. I also spent a couple of tours in places where there were folks that wanted to slit your throat or worse. Never in...
What are you expecting is the question?
I'll be happy with 1250 to 1300 or as close as I can get.
110 = 296
Yeah, I know H110 & WW 296 use the same data but I read somewhere that WW 296...
I'm trying to find a suitable powder to push my 335 gn lead gc bullets with. My H110 loads are not getting me what I want with this bullet. I see where some say WW-296 works better then others say...
Anyone experimented with loads for a short barrel revolver like the Alaskan? I'm looking for a suitable powder for a 325 gn lead gc bullet. My loads with H110 are not giving me the velocity I want....
I buy my brass new from Starline. If they don't sell the caliber I need then I go to the online sellers.
I Have a Ruger Alaskan that I bought new and had to send back to Ruger before I ever fired it. The crane fit and alignment was visibly off and the chamber/barrel alignment was off. Ruger Customer...
They are heavy! That said there are a few quality holster makers that understand that and the need for a short barreled hand cannon in certain situations like bear country or really anywhere you are...
Thanks for the info. I'm not new to the Alaskan in 44 mag or the 454 as I have shot both with some pretty heavy loads but I put off buying one for several years. My heavy loads in 45 Colt are...
I just recently bought a Lone Wolf barrel for my Gen 2 Glock 23. Love it, dropped it in and shot 200 rounds of PMC Ball ammo with out a hitch. I did buy a couple of Glock 19 Mags but the stock...
I just acquired a Ruger Alaskan in 454 Casull. I plan on shooting mainly heavy 45 Colt Loads but would like to experiment with some heavy cast bullet loads in 454 too but before I start buying molds...

Thanks for all the responses. I think I'm going to pass on the Henry though. I just can't make my self like a big bore rifle that loads like a 22. If they make it with a side loading gate like all...

My local dealer has a few Henry Yellow Boy rifles in 38/357, 44 mag. and 45 Colt. I have never even held one much less fired one but just looking at them they seem kind of cheaply made especially...

I knew about the differences in the barrels but wasn't sure about the rate of twist. I knew about the tang and tang sight but my rifle has the checkered shotgun stock and butt. Somewhere I think I...

Thanks All,
I am trying to get a few of my buddies to pool our order to help soften the S&H/Hazmat charges. It would be great if I could find a local dealer but they all seem to say it's too much...

Thanks to all. Graffs & Sons looks promising as does powderinc. I also found Maine Powder House that seems to have the best prices for Swiss.
Anyone have experience with Graffs Powder?
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Where do you get your powder? The last place I bought black from has stopped selling it and there is no one lese close. I see a couple of on-line sources but they seem to be expensive especially...

Thanks Guys, I knew the rifling and twist were different but a friend said there were some other differences. I'll ask Wayne.
Thanks Again,

I asked a simple question and expected a simple answer. At the least I expected to elicit a straightforward opinion from folks that know. I may ask many questions or elicit opinions on things that...
