I use an RCBS rotary separator and most times, it removes every pin from the brass. Because the pins were actually stuck in the cases and had to be picked out with toothpicks, I highly doubt the...

I'd bet 98-99% of the pins that I'm using (Frankford Arsenal) are the longer sized, just a few of the short ones, found a home in these cases. Out of 1800-2000 223 cases I've done since using the...

Gents - I guess I'm posting this to share what I found earlier today. I ran a batch of 250 or so, 38 S&W cases, all mixed head stamps, thru the rotary tumbler. After drying, I wanted to sort them,...
Picked up this S&W model 10 the other day. Had a set of Elk grips waiting for it. Will mostly see range use, but occasionally will get carried. Thanks, Bill in MA

Not the greatest pic, as it's about 8 yrs old and was stored in the PC - Rifle is still here, but in the back of the safe currently! Bought the rifle in the late 80s-early 90s at a show, was in very...

Thanks for the added info - I have done alot of what was added after I posted this, rolling the brass on a towel, universal decap die, etc. I have enough very clean brass to last me the next year or...

As most who get deep into this hobby, I'm a bit of a "gear hound". I bought a Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler when it was on a special deal somewhere, atleast 4-5 years ago, probably longer. It is...
I have (2) 429336 moulds, both Ideal marked. Not sure it was around long enough for Lyman to brand it. As I've read, it was the design that became the 429421. That looks like a true hybrid....nose...
John - I say this as a long time Sig fan. Early days, I had to carry a Glock 9, then 40 and never really liked them. Changed agencies, had to carry Sig 226s in 9, then later in 40. The dept, then...
Bazoo - Thanks for the offer. I had read it earlier, which the help me recall that at some point in the past few years, I had purchased the RCBS Cast Bullet Manual. I found it on a bookshelf and it...
Gents - I picked this one up recently. It's an older discontinued style and perhaps was a limited production. For whatever reason, I currently can't post pics here. It's basically a shorter nose,...
I finally found a long sought after Lyman 358101, baby wadcutter. Always wanted to try something like this in a few 38 Spl revolvers that reside here. Especially the S&W 12 and 37 Airwieght...
Any chance Lyman or you had a typo? I have 3 factory Lyman moulds that were mis-marked.
Perhaps it's a 350457, the heavy slug for the 348 Win? It's a "not so common" mould for that caliber. I...
I've been accumulating moulds for a good while and even though I don't have an FA revolver or even a 454, I have managed to acquire 3 different moulds that have those markings, along the way. 454628...

Thanks for all of the added info, it's been quite a learning experience on this caliber, had no idea it was a viable hunting round or was capable of such great accuracy. I thought it was just...

Thanks for the help - I knew the cartridge was developed by Alexander, but did not think to check their site. My intention was simply to keep this as I mentioned, just a fun gun that a bit different...

Gents - I start by asking is this the correct place for this topic? It's not a military caliber, however I just obtained an AR upper in this caliber and am looking for a bit of guidance, if anyone...

Gents - Thanks for all of the info and advice! Outpost thanks for that informative chart - coincidentally, I do use alot of both Bullseye and 2400 and several of your quoted loads I have used. ...

Gents - I have one of these due in with several rotors, never used one before. I've used my tried and true Uniflow for years, but thought this maybe a good grab for the 41/44/45 revolver rounds,...
Gents - As I usually read a hell of lot more than I post, but recent reading prompted me to this post. I was looking thru Castpics, as I have before, but earlier I was looking thru the old 1929...

Lloyd - PM me your address, I had about 20 or so original head stamp, fired cases that I picked up in a group of brass- all yours for the taking, I just have to find them. Bill in MA
Thanks for the help. My Dad has a Walther PPKS, that I bought for him years ago. These seem a bit short for the slightly longer clip of the S model, so they very well may be for a PPK. There were a...
Gents - I found 2 sets of these in a parts box, that came with a collection of stuff from a few years ago - they didn't belong to any of the handguns with the collection and I have no idea of what...

I like to keep the intended use of the rifle and scope in proportion. I have a few heavy barrel target rifles with the bigger scopes. For this rifle and the pair of full stock rifles I have, the...
