.45 auto remington brass is thinner,I use it in a match chamber 1911 with cast boolits for better accuracy and reliability. Standard chambers use range brass. I do not know about .357 brass

Franks, Tabasco Chipotle or Tobasco Garlic pretty well cover what I like. The Tobasco Garlic can be hard to find at times so when I do find it I get a few bottles.

Just priced lead at the local scrapper, $.80 for WW,$1.05 for pure. I really do not want to pay that much so I will wait a while and hope it comes down.

Man I work for fired a .270 in a 7 mag,blew the stock out around the magazine,and gas in his face,left him unharmed but shaken.
I have to separate S&B 9mm brass from everything else because it is so much shorter and has to be loaded separately,kind of a pain but the brass is free.

My sized boolits run .3575 to .359 thru my .358 sizer.I think I will have to cast up some pure lead and slug the Hi Power barrel.Also have to check the expander on my dies as mentioned.
I have a Hi Power that is leading the barrel with Lyman 120 gr,truncated cone bullets. I am running them thru a .358 sizer but usually it just touches the high spots. My S&w 9mm's lead very little if...
