The notion that rifled barrels should use sabot slugs and smooth bores should only shoot Foster style slugs is a relatively recent one. I am not sure when it actually became popular.

It is not...

My experience with semi-rimmed cartridges is only with the .32 ACP and the .38 Super. Never really had a rimlock problem with either one. I suspect most of the problems are caused by shorter than...

That brings back memories. I too assembled some of those BPI loads. Yes, they were tough on the shoulder.

Mine all patterned well, however. The slug would land at POA, and the 6 pellets would...

Assuming good storage conditions black powder would last forever.

Even in bad storage conditions black powder would last a long time.

I have spent many an hour on the deck of my house, in full view of the street, using My Lee press. Also, many hous spent there re-finishing guns.

Never would I have thought that some one might...

It has been several years since I have tested any .41 magnum loads. Back in the day, my 4" model 58 would almost hit 1300 FPS with 18 grains of 2400 and the 220 grain bullets.

In my 6" model 57,...

Whatever powder Winchester uses to load their 9x23mm Winchester Silvertips is the best example of a flash suppressed handgun powder I have ever seen.

I have been told that it is WAP, which doesn't...

Do a search for posts by hubel458 and his 12 gauge FH.

He seems to have done some work along the lines you have described.

The "Special" designation for a cartridge has a definite meaning. It means that the cartridge is suitable for loading with both black and smokeless powder.

Now, you could load a .32 with black...

I have seen a couple of manuals list loads for 2400 in the .38 Super case. Never any in the 9mm, which is only slightly smaller than the .38S. So I don't doubt it would work. I do doubt it working...

The Simply Rugged is what I am looking at for myself. I have to admit that my 5" 625 rides in an almost 20 year old Roy Baker Pancake. This was made for a 4" N-frame, and if you do the math, you...

That is interesting. I have a spare spring for my Official Police, so I am in good shape there. Might need a spring for some thing else some day, though.

I wonder if the same approach would work...

I usually leave out the acetone too. Its main purpose is to dissolve the residue left by plastic wads in shotgun barrels. For that purpose it works well. Otherwise, it is not needed, only adds...

I also have one, and I love mine too. Mine has the fiber optic open sights. I would not dream of putting a scope on it. At 54, I can still shot peeps, but for some strange reason I am still fairly...

I know that Unique is the traditional .45 AR powder of choice. However, I am down to about 4 ounces now, and don't expect to travel any where I can buy powder for several weeks.

I do have plenty...

I use hot water & Dawn's dishwashing liquid to clean away corrosive primer residue. Follow it with a good flushing of plain hot water, (boiling hot). Then, use the Ed's Red to clean.

Works like...

Looks like I may have to buy another pound of Unique. I finally got my 452423 mould in production. Nothing like getting an old friend back in action.

I have lost my notes from when I had this...
