Greetings, AaronE,

I have loaded heel boolits for quite some time. I designed and made a crimper that fits in Lyman mold handles. It takes a difficult job and makes it easy with great results....

Greetings, Gentlemen,

Did you ever have one of those days when things just didn't go as smoothly as planned? Yesterday, right after work, my wife and I set up the chrono and target in the shop...

Greetings,

This is one of the earliest centerfires. 11mm Pidault. Actually 10.7mm(.420)
Remember, this is an 1860 revolver. About the only earlier one would be the 12mm Perrin. The French...

Greetings, Gentlemen,

I am on the way out the door to shoot a revolver that probably hasn't been fired in almost a century and a half. Full report later if interested.:-D ...

First photo in thread.

Greetings, Gentlemen,

My wife, Cookie, bought this one as a present for my 70th birthday.
Bless her little old heart.

First, a little history. In 1872, Jean Mathieu Deprez, of Liege,...

Greetings, Gentlemen,

The one in the rear is a "Deprez-Joassart", model of 1872, made in Belgium. I have restored it to 100% mechanical soundness. It shoots the 12mm Spirlet cartridge, which...

Greetings, Gentlemen,

Greetings, Gentlemen,

My .600 Gillon project is complete. Took a little while to arrive at a good load that was satisfying to me and "Thumper". I started with Elephant ffg. Full case(43 gr) only...

Greetings, Slughammer,

Been looking for a Raphael for quite some time, to finish my collection. Will your friend consider selling it to me, and it would have a good home.

Greetings, mag 01,

I have done quite a bit of loading for the 1895 Nagant. Documented a lot of it. Here are some links that might make some interesting reading and information gathering.

Greetings, Old Ironsights,

Now's the time to try the PinnAcle 3f you told me you have. Fill case to bottom of boolit. Needs hardly any compression. What ever bullet lube is already on the...

Greetings, Jon K,

I tried PinnAcle 3fg for my "Thumper" project. Velocity spread from shot to shot was a little greater than Goex 3fg. Not nearly as consistant. Due perhaps to the extremely...

Greetings, 6pt-sika,

The first .44 flattops came with walnut grips. Had a round Ruger emblem inserted each side. I bought mine in spring of '57, and it had walnut. I replaced them with...

Greetings, lar45,

I constantly search the internet for these early, large caliber, centerfire revolvers. I have a very nice collection, and shoot them all. I found this one on Gunbroker. ...

Photo of my toy box, taken a couple of years ago. Needs updating.
Now has about 9 revolvers per shelf.

Can be 577 NE or 24 gage brass shotshell. In this case it is 24 gage for more case capacity. Balloon head case.

Greetings,again, Gentlemen,

My snubby is a 1989 Ruger SP-101 in .38 Special caliber with a 3" barrel. The trigger pull is as smooth as roller bearings. Added a red insert in front sight. The...

Greetings, Gentlemen,

Used this boolit for ever it seems. Cast from w/w & 15 to 20% tin based babbit. Have always used 15 gr. 2400. It launches at 1497 fps average from my wifes 6" Ruger...

Greetings, broomhandle,

I don't think you will hurt yourself or your revolver with the .32 Magnums. I reload the 7.62 x 38R myself. Most are just as hot as the .32 Mag., and some I have...

Greetings, Gentlemen,

Using same old load since 1950's. Never seen any reason to change.
Lyman 429421, cast wheel weights/ 10 - 15% high speed babbit, 22 gr. 2400, for a little over 1500...

Greetings,

I have heard a lot about Ballistol over the years, so I decided I would give it a try. Might afford better protection than the oils I have been using.

WOW !! Does that bring back...

Greetings,

Haven't tried 777. Goex fffg gives all the power I might want. If I used 777, I would have to use a filler to cut down on the volume. I certainly don't want more pressure. I...
