Been using roll crimps since the mid 70s where appropriate. Recently discovered the Lee Collet Crimp die and I like it. I've been using one for .357 and .45 Colt both revolvers and lever action...

Thanks for the review. I may have to find some.

I air drop on to a folded towel and never had a problem. I did learn early on do NOT pick up a bullet to inspect it after dropping.. I only did that once.

I did try water dropping once with a...

Hmm, not a bad idea.

If I get rid of the boxes you will be the first to know.

Thanks for the input gents. I did spend some time on GB and agree this ammo isn't worth much more than current ammo. I'm leaning toward just shooting it.

Hi Gents, I was going through my ammo stash and came across some vintage boxes of .45 acp target ammo. I have 3 boxes of Remington Targetmaster 185 grain wadcutter (6745) and 1 box of Western...

I believe Western Nevada was eventually bought out by X-Treme bullets. The old facility at Moundhouse, NV is closed down. Their website does have cast 45-70 bullets listed....

What kind of velocity are you looking for? I use 12 gr of Unique with a 405 gr cast bullet. Great mild shooting plinking load and gives me about 1050 fps from my 18" barrel Marlin. If I want a...

I was able to try this load today in my 16" Winchester 94 Trapper and was pleasantly surprised. Average velocity was 1080 fps with a 5.7 SD. I shot a couple of 4" groups at 50 yards. Might not...

Thanks! Sounds like a good place to start.

I'm going to start loading for .45 Colt again. I use and have a lot of WST and WSF powder on hand. The burn rates of both seem like they would be appropriate for light to standard .45 Colt loads...

My .357 feeds .38 Special SWC just fine. I would think the .44 Mag would be the same.

I picked up a Henry Big Boy Brass in .357 Mag. I like it enough that I'm thinking another in .45 Colt or maybe .45-70.

I can share these results. I loaded some light .357 mag rounds using a 158 gr cast FP bullets in front of 4 gr of WST. Velocity out of a 4" Ruger SS was 793 fps. Out of a 20" Henry velocity was...

I've been wanting a .357 lever gun for a while. I avoided the Henry because of the loading tube. Well a month ago I impulse bought a Henry Big Boy Brass in .357 Mag. Glad I did. Very well made...

Hi Gents, I'm not sure where this post belongs so I apologize if it's in the wrong place.

I have an Outers Foul Out II. It still works great but I am in need of the Lead Out solution. It seems...

Looks good. Want to sell a piece of that aluminum and recoup your investment? :)

I'm happy with my Winchester 94 Trapper in .357.

I've been using anti-seize compound for lubing my Lee mold. I just happened to have some in my tool box so I thought I'd try it. Works great. Put a little on a q-tip and apply where needed.

I...

Got my order of BAC today. Took about a week.

Opps! Should be 1.200":oops:
No it's not a TL mould. It is a truncated cone 230 gr. with one lube groove.

Anyway, shot them through a S&W 1911, S&W 457 and the USP compact. Perfect feeding in...

Just loaded a box of Lee 230 TC to an oal of 1.120. Heading out to try them in a S&W 1911, S&W 457 and a .45 USP Compact.

I'll let ya know how they run.

You know, that's not a bad idea.

The burning rates are a little different but I’ve used them pretty much interchangeably in low to moderate loads for my .45-70. The shorter powder granules of H4198 will meter better in a powder...
