Thanks to some helpful folks here I have been able to obtain a number of .357 Maximum cartridges and an appropriately sized boolit. I have made a washer to fit over the rim and the cases feed and...

I shoot both SASS and NCOWS using genuine black in 44 special. 44WCF 44/40 is even betters or this because he thin neck seals the case mouth to the chamber better than straight wall cases such as my...

Thanks for that!

These barrels are completely unmarked. They are certainly for the 73 model as there is the large gap for the huge heads.
I think mine is a 35-30 or 35-40

On new years eve a buddy brought over his great grandfather's 1873 Maynard rifle. It has two barrels one for a shotgun and one for a rifle. He wants me to get him set up to shoot it. My first...

You are a lucky man. Grab some rounds and lets shoot it Sunday.

I am in the same Medieval reenactment group though I am based out of Chicago.

I did the combat there for 25 years until I blew out my knee. Multiple times under the knife to fix it and my...

Can anyone tell me the rough idea about each primer's characteristics? I know that small is small and large is large but what is the difference between rifle vs pistol and regular vs magnum.

I just finished loading 500 rounds of 9mm with cast boolits. As I put things away I found I that I had used magnum primers. What would the effect be? am I screwed?

2400 is new new favorite powder. About 15 grains seems to work well in everything I throw at it.

That is a really useful piece of info. I do not have a Krag (yet) but I am in the hunt for one

150 rounds loaded. no problems. Thanks for the help!

462. That seems to work. Thanks for the help guys.

I have been successfully reloading for the .303 British since last summer. Everything has been going well and a buddy of mine gave me a free set of Collet dies for neck sizing. I had hoped that this...

I made mine out of a piece of scrap steel. It took about 15 minutes and I can shoot at 100 yards using a 6 o'clock hold all day long.

I'll give 2400 a try. It has worked well in several other cartriges for me.

Spent Sunday at the range and I ran about 100 rounds through the pistol with incremental loads of 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 and 5.0.

The 4.0 shot best. Interestingly the group fell apart at about...

Back form the range. No leading to speak of and just as accurate. I Think for the next batch I will set up incremental loads of 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 and 5.0 and see what it likes. If I wind up...

I am going to do some loading right now. I will back the load down to 4 and I re lubed all my boolits last night so they should be dry and ready to use. Thanks.

I was worried that mine...

Thanks for the help. 452 is as cast.
I guess the simplest thing is to try more lube and give it another whirl.

I'll report back when I know more.

I am no expert at slugging barrels but I tried it and came up with .445 and .451 but who knows if I actually did it right.

My info may be hit and miss but here are as many answers as I can.
6 grains of Bullseye
.452 bullets
No idea of actual barrel diameter
Boolets are tumble lubed in a cool whip container with a...

I just got a Springfield 1911 today and took it to the range I ran about 200 rounds of Winchester bulk pack through it and it worked like a dream. However I really want to shoot Lead booolits out of...
