How can I legally ship gun powder to another state? Thanks in advance any tips or info. Mike
Finally got my Kimber running. Lyman 200gr SWC sized .452. 50/50 lead and lube. Seating depth did not seem to matter. Half were seated even with the case mouth and the rest a little further out but...

Thanks folks. Long time reader deciding to finally get started. I learned about contender barrels and the throat or lack of. My first attempt had this boolit seated to the crimp groove. At 50 yds....
Ben, Nice gun and nice pictures. That is one nasty hollow point!!! Unless you are just in love with wood, a set off Pachmayr grips will help with all recoil issues. Be careful with these things....

Be very careful going down that road, there is no cure. I get mad every time I think about all the time I wasted before I was exposed to a Shiloh. I might have been dangerous when the eyes were...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I all depends what your ultimate goal is. I use SPG melted in the same double boiler. I dip lube as cast bullets into the hot lube. I use a fired case that I cut the head off to clean off the excess...

I made mine out of 218 brass. Form, load, fire form, trim and go. This was for a Bullberry barrel for my Contender. It is a sweet shooter when loaded with Berger bullets. I don't remember if 32-20...

I have Pacific dies, 375 brass, the RCBS 35 200 that I plan on using. Thanks for jogging my memory on case forming. I had read about snug on the shoulder of the case and a firm snap to close the...
Gentleman, I bought a one of these barrels the other day. I have heard of lots of different ways to fire form brass. What is the best way that will expand the case and maximize the life of the brass...
I found a new Blackhawk hunter on Gunbroker that looks real good. I am sure I will need help getting it going. I cast for my Kimber and I shoot BPCR. Never anything like this. Thanks again for all...
Thanks for the tip on the Ultra Dot. I saw 1" as well as 30mm tube. Not sure if the 30mm replacement rings will fit or not but I can figure that out later. Let the shopping commence. Thanks again,...
Intended use is hunting and target. I have a Contender with too many barrels and wanted to try something different. Thanks again, Mike

Maybe but why would you want to? So many better choices.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Me too. It wasn't until I got the bug for one of those fanch Shilohs that casting became a must do. No 540gr. "Money" bullets on the shelf. Well then a 452460 came next for a Kimber. Sure has been...
