Whenever I switch lubes I don’t usually bother to clean out all the old lube- just put in the new stick and let the two-tone boolits roll. Only exception is if going from hard lube that needs heat to...

PM Buckshot, he’s a member here and hollow points moulds and does other machine work. I had him HP a mould for me several years ago- excellent workmanship and turnaround time.

JonB, come clean man! Where do we get our grubby mitts on one of those?

I have a couple hundred heavy 357 boolits that I would melt down if I knew how to recycle the gas checks. I hate to waste checks at 4 cents each

One more thought- I’ve been using a LAM for 40 years with almost no issues. The threaded collar that secures the sizing die into the sizer body can be easily cross-threaded. I recommend paying...

lar45 has great lube for a good price (lsStuff link if you scroll down to the links below).

[QUOTE=Texas by God;5680621]It might be similar ballisticly to the AR cartridge 25-45 Sharps- not quite 25-35 level one would think.

Another rabbit hole for me to go down.�� Way less steps to form...

I’ve been thinking the same thing. MGM has it on their chambers list but I haven’t been able to find a cartridge drawing. And would it be possible to use the same dies to load it?

Mix your beeswax with synthetic two stroke oil 3:1 by weight. That’s the recipe for Speed Green, which is pretty good stuff.

Just bought a 256 Contender barrel and have a few questions for you guys. If I got this right, y’all are sizing directly from 357 to 256 in one step? I bought all the Redding forming dies and go...

Dang you guys! Dropped into single shots to snoop for some chatter about 256 Winchester and this thread slammed me right between the eyes.

Jwhite, that is one beautiful rig! Looks like full bull...

$7.50 a thousand….what I paid for primers back when I started loading with a Lyman 310 tool. And take home pay was $300 for two weeks.

You were wise to question the suitability of that powder. Propellants with identification granules will have much more consistent distribution of said granules than what appears in your picture.

Awesome display item, and the powder should be fine as long as it doesn’t have that ammonia smell. I have a cardboard Hercules Green Dot one pounder that also has faded dots. Use good judgement and...

I have a container of Hercules Reloder 7 that does have colored granules. They don’t stand out like raisins in rice, but they are there. If I knew how to post pictures with IPhone I could prove it.

Posted from an IPhone? What’s the process?

My WAG is that cases are placed mouth down over the pegs, maybe so primer pockets can be inspected. Second guess is to act as drying rack for washed black powder cartridge cases.

I don’t think you understand the issue of carrying an old style SA fully loaded. Perhaps you should do more homework. And it’s irresponsible to advise others who are asking about a particular...

An option no one has mentioned yet is Standard Manufacturing. They make a clone of the Single Action Army that is superb! Brian Pearce did an article in Handloader about three issues ago. I bought...

I don't want to sound mean spirited, but the way your posts read suggests that you don't own or don't read any loading manuals. Lyman's 49th edition would be a real good place to start.

I used to make dive weights with range scrap recovered from the local police range. Nearly all .38 cal wadcutters. If the weights are fairly easy to dent or scratch, I wouldn't be afraid to cast...

Really? Where might a guy get some of those.

Also like the smell of boolit lube, CLP, even Ballistol in a twisted sort of way...(it stinks so good).

Elbow,

First off, welcome to the site. There is a vast resource of information here. The following link will take you to a thread you may not like, but need to read. It will give you a little...

Whatcha trying to say there Bub??? [smilie=l:

I've had better luck with RCBS moulds overall. You may have different results. Also, you may like the designs of one company over the other. I realize this may not be much help, but I'd go with...
