I think the 120 Lee is simply the RN version of the 113 grain flat nose job known to many as the "soupcan", I refer to the 85 grain tumble lube .32 WC mold I have as a soupcan because it really looks...

I have never used a 550, I might really like one if caliber changes are really easy as compared to a 650. I have two 650's and at least 20 complete caliber changeovers to cover anything I load enough...

As a side note, does anybody really accept the use of scopes with the 30-30?

I for one don't, though I traded my Savage 24 .357 over 20 ga. for one in 30-30 over 12 ga. (shouldn't have) and it has...

The bottom line seems to be when has anybody had a really bad day at the range with a 30-30? I loved the way my plinking/wife load (14.5 grains of Herco under a 115 grain Lee) worked on turtles and...

Herter's primers!

I was at a flea market here a while back and ran across a table that had a 1000 box of CCI (diamond pattern) small pistol primers on it. I asked the price and he said 5 bucks. I...

Least favorite?

40 S&W, Lee cast is too blunt for my Star M-40 to not beat up the noses.

Second it would be my .25's though I haven't given up on them.
My 25/06 with 120 grain RCBS cast has...

Somehow I feel that your "surplus H4831" is not really surplus other than to your current perceived needs, it can always be used in the future even if not the first powder choice. Now, I have used...

I have done quite a bit of 3".410 reloading with good results using a Mec 600 Jr. I never switch to the shorter hull as it is too much trouble to get it setup properly and they just don't hold enough...

Yep, Frank is a great guy!

I got a bunch of 380 brass and a bit of 45 Colt brass from him and it looks great!!!!!

I dug up my dies and went to work on forming some brass which is something I had given up on way back when when I first got a 7X57, it was a lot of work to have brass that failed quickly. I now feel...

It happens every year, the before and after Christmas gunshows, I have a bad habit of going to both and ending up with goodies I wasn't looking for and I may have outdone myself this year. Instead of...

It seems like I can shoot my as issued SKS better than my custom stocked Rock-Ola Carbine with a K3 Weaver on a SK mount. They seem to be cousins in the light military arms class though the M1...

I'm sorry for using the term "target accuracy" too freely without a footnote or some other clarification, the term has a far different meaning depending on the firearm being discussed. My 222 may...

My Dad bought a Bulldog back in the mid 70's when they came out with the big grips. It was the only centerfire we didn't load for so it was only shot with the weak factory stuff which was OK for what...

Yikes! I never heard of them seperating though it seems like it would be less likely when inverted than when loaded as intended as well as producing lower pressures without the wedge effect caused by...

I too desire to have an easy on the hand as well as the leadpot load for the 45 Colt. My 3.75" Vaquero has seen some prettyheavy loads though I am not much of a hotrodder when it comes to handguns, I...

Snobal, how's about giving you proven accurate load a try with the hollow end forward to see if they still group well? As long as it doesn't exceed 800 fps it would be a great defense load for...

I am not a fan of the birdshead grip though I do think the Cowboy saddlehorn leaves a lot to be desired. Though I refuse to touch my 'ole 3-screw my 3.75" Vaquero 45 begged to be worked on.

I...

I didn't have much luck doing this conversion. When using a FL sizing die with the guts removed the brass wanted to shave in the little vent hole in the die. I later got a RCBS trim die that didn't...

No matter what your final thoughts about a .357 become, you will end up getting one, everybody needs at least one. Has to be one of the best of the best calibers for all around use. You personal...

It's funny how people discount 9mm's as all being pretty much the same.

I know a guy who says he only uses 9mm Para in his 9mm Largo chambered Star.

Another guy told me he only shoots 380 ammo...

You gotta love seeing what happens with round balls in leverguns. I have sized .370' balls down to .358" and had good luck in my .357 Mag '92 Winch clone as well as .311" balls as cast in my '94...

Well, if you are cheap (like me) and do stupid things (like me) you will buy the cheapest one you can get. I have two F-1s and have managed to shoot them both (one with a 22Mag. the other with a 45...

I was getting worried about this one. I ordered two of them early on in hopes of getting them in time for casting season (when I quit sweatin' here in Dixie) and they are done. I am sure Tracy and I...

I have had no problems with WC-820 PD and standard primers as long as the charges are heavy enough. I use 13.5 grains w/ 180 grain cast and 15.5 grains with 158 grainers. Lighter loads have produced...
