I was on gunbroker looking at cap and ball revolvers and noticed reloading components being sold for outrageous prices. A 1 lb. can of Titegroup had been bidded up to $130.... really crazy.

Thanks a bunch Larry! I will be sure to try it out. I work away from home, and still have about a week to go. Can't wait to get home, and try it out!
Thanks telebasher! I'll give it a try, and I have a lot of Bullseye on hand!
Will be looking forward to hear of your results Robroy! There is info on the .22 Hornet out there, but you've really got to dig. Any info I can get would be most helpful.
If using a powder that only fills the case.. lets say... about 1/4. The powder can slide to the front of the case when loaded into the chamber. The result would be uneven ignition. Velocities would...
I read a few articles on using Dacron pillow stuffing. It does work, but could leave a little in the bore. In my case, I would be using a suppressor, and I would not want the Dacron to build up in...
Hello everyone,
I have been casting bullets for a few years now, with a lot of help and info gathered from this forum. I even was successful playing around with a 124 gr. cast .380 acp, with some...
I will have to check them out. I have a box of corbon 45acp that my wife had picked up for me. haven't shot any yet. I was keeping them for self defense loads. I shoot the barnes spitfire in my .50...
Thanks for the info. I'm happy to see that I'm no the only one to try this, and to see some value of a heavier bullet. I will have to get my hands on some quick load software. I'm still interested in...

Try using a Lee factory crimp die. After seating all your boolits, remove the seater screw. Run the loaded case a few times in and out the factory crimp die. This will remove the bulge caused by...
Just did a penetration test. My daughter was gracious enough to let me have a few paper backs with the understanding that I would by her some new ones. These are small childrens paper backs, about...
After looking at numerous .380 auto's I finally purchased a Bersa firestorm. It's basically a PPK clone. The fit, and finish is very good for a pistol in this price range. I also found load data for...
Thanks for the replies. Yes the 9mm would make a good CCW. My personal favorite CCW is an airwieght S&W in .38 special. All my other handguns are Kimber, and Springfield 1911s. I doubt I will ever...
Thanks for the info guys. I still haven't purchased my .380 yet. But plan on looking for one this weekend. I was also looking at the RSI pressure trace to record pressures, and keep it under 21,000...
Thanks for the info. I think I have some load data for a 124gr JHP in my old seirra load manual. The boolits I'm trying to load are 125gr LRN from a Lee mold. I've sized them to .356. I'm basically...
Has anyone loaded the .380 acp with a cast 125gr boolit? I can't seem to find any data on anything heavier than 120gr.
