12 gauge can cover it all.

Amen brother, the old #3 would be a fine companion for my Single sevens.

From the bench at 25 yds, one would expect 2" or smaller from most all iron sighted revolvers. The old 1" per ten yds rule still applies, especially for hunting. My Bisely did it out of the box last...

If my Lipseys Bisely is any example, the 44 special should have a good long run. Sure would be nice to see a mid framed double action as well. A K or L framed smith, or a Ruger based on the GP100...

I have had 44 magnum revolvers since the early 1970's. I have read about old Elmer since I was a kid in the 1950's and how he developed hot loads for the 44 special. Of late I figured I owed myself a...

Where can I find the 311-316 or Mp314-640-100? Are these custom designs?

The Blackhawk is an excellent range gun, and hunter, but I find myself carrying the Seven cross draw under my coat when fishing. The 4 5/8 is so light and compact, I'll use it in place of a .22 and a...

Is 311316 a gas check design? I want to pump these up to 1200.

I've started looking for a mold for my Single Sevens. The only 32 mold I have is the LEE 90 gr. TLSWC, which casts .314, and I can load as cast for the 32 H&R. Very good light load bullet for the 327...

Of late I have been infected with the Super Seven bug. My Superblack and Redhawk were collecting dust in the safe. I had casted up some 310 Lees and some Lachmiller 250 swc's. I really surprised...

Thanks, I suspected such.

I have an old mold I bought in the 1970's. It's a 250 gr gas check semi-wadcutter design. The box it came in says Lachmiller. Was this company dissolved, bought out, or what? It's a great little...

I find that the 32's are fired by the family and myself far more often, than the 357's. Even my 8 year old grandson can handle my 4 5/8 SSM with S&W longs. When teaching centerfire handgun...

Have just gone back to 32 caliber. I'm looking for a 105+gr bullet for my Single seven. The only 32 mold I have is the old LEE 90 gr. TLSWC. My 32 H&R Single six shoots the tumble lube stuff with 231...

I've been a member of the forum for awhile now, and find it almost indispensable for information on reloading and casting. Another area that has recently come into play lately, is finding good...

Thanks for the info guys. I just got all updated manuals today, and plan to load a few tomorrow. And yes this bullet is in the new LEE manual, as well as, the new Lyman. I called my local guy for mag...

Anyone familiar with this powder? I ran across 44 mag loads calling for it in the Alliant loading data. Looks to be a magnum pistol powder for heavy bullets. Is this another H110/296 ? :)

It only figures I would have Lymans 3rd edition of the cast bullet handbook. The 49th reloading book does have a 300 gr. It seems I need to update all my manuals. Unfortunately, I through out my...

I wonder why this particular bullet is such an orphan to the reloading manuals. None of my Lyman manuals list anything larger than a 250. the Hogden on line doesn't list it either. Is this a...

Wonderful story, great pictures. It's amazing how well the old technology still works, despite all the changes in the past 120+ years.

Just got a LEE 310-430 mold for my 77/44. I would like to work up some 296 loads for it. As close as I can determine 19 to 22 grs is my ballpark, which seems a little high. I haven't seen any numbers...

A Ruger 77/357 maximum, or the old No.3 single shot in 44 mag.

The 44 mag is a great choice for a reloader. I agree with the others here that Unique is a good mainstay powder for light to medium loads. The heavy stuff can come with experience. A 240 gr at...

My 788 in .222 is after all these years still my favorite all around varmint medicine. 53 gr sierra BT/HP over 25.5 grs of 748 stays within 1/2" at 3175. First center fire my daughter ever fired, and...

I'll go with hickory, Unique has proved very good in both my SSM's. Especially with the 90 gr. tumble lube LEE SWC. 231/hp38 work very well also.:-)
