I'm thinking of picking up a 180 grain WFN mould from NOE for use in my 3" model 66 that I recently inherited from my father. Any idea how these will preform from a 3" barrel?

I tried my normal...

You may want to look into getting it rebored to 35 whelen. JES has good reviews on this site. If that will work, it will be much cheaper than rebarreling.

I have a 16" rossi 92 in 44mag and wish I would have got one in 357 instead. I picked mine up used a few years ago and dont have much money in it. I don't think the rossi 92 is worth the $500 they...

Do the mags with plastic followers work for the 760? I've read mixed reports online.

I do not think my spring can be repaired, it snapped in a second spot while I was taking it out and is very...

I picked up a 760 carbine in 30-06. The gun looks like it is in good condition, the magazine is not. The leaf spring rusted and snapped.

I cant find any 30-06 family mags for sale at a decent...

Take it to a hazardous waste facility or community collection event.

Just a note on the vinegar and vinegar/hydrogen peroxide solutions... they will dissolve the lead and form lead acetate which is much more toxic than elemental lead. Using a Vinegar/hydrogen...

Rossi 92 in 44 mag with a 16" barrel shooting max loads of a 270gr cast boolit and h110 off a bench. The rifle weighs under 5lbs and the short stock has a poorly shaped curved piece of metal for a...

I wish they had a side loading gate. If they did I would own at least one. I am not a fan of having to load a tube magazine from the muzzle.

I got my Remington 700 308 with 1:10 twist to shoot best with cast by sizing to .311 and using varget behind the lee 200 grain round nose. Alloy is 50/50 + 2% tin water dropped from the mould. It...

My guy who works out of his home charges $10. Most of the local shops around here charge $25. I think both prices are fair. Shops have overhead to pay as well as online sales take away from their...

I have a BLR in 358 on they way and was wondering which dies would be best for it. Since 358 brass seems to be near unobtainium, not to mention expensive, I plan on forming brass from 308. I also...

I would classify that as an ND not an AD. Dissembling a loaded gun would qualify as negligence.

4 629's but they are all different barrel lengths so that doesn't count right?

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I am gonna pick up a set of the rcbs cowboy dies and keep an eye out for a second seating/roll crimp die.

Do you have to lube the cases if you use the older tapered steel dies?

So, I am looking for a blackhawk and want to get ready to start reloading and casting for it.

I reload boolits for 44 mag and use a lee 3 die set with a RCBS seating die to seat with the flat stem...

I have a lyman 1200 pro... its quiet and works for around $50. Plus the slits on the lid are a nice touch. You can just hold it upside down over a box while it is on and all the media will work its...

I would agree. If you think the 357 is good, the 300 blk shoots faster given a similar weight of powder under the same weight bullet with better sectional density... plus it actually has a ballistic...

Howdy!

Welcome to the site. IMO Lyman has the best manuals. The 49th is my go to book for load data and has the best intro/overview of reloading imo. I find Hornady's manual useful as I shoot a...

The colors changing from yellow to brown to blue to purple is due to overheating close to pure lead. I would add some tin to the alloy then to help with fill out.

Cast hotter and possibly add a bit of tin to your alloy.

I have issues on a number of my bullets getting gas checks seated straight and/or snug with lee push through dies plus pan lubing is messy and slow, so I've decided to upgrade to a lube sizer.

It...

I ran into the same issue. I crimp in the groove. It works fine in my revolvers but wont feed from the magazine in my rossi 92 due to length. I got them up to the same 22.5gr of h110 without...

My second edition Lee manual starts at 5.3gr and maxes out at 6.0gr bullseye for a 240 gr lead bullet. Hornady's 9th maxes out at 7.1 gr. I would load up a ladder like Blammer suggested.
