I have been satisfied with Chippewa boots.
Too bad the pollution stays in China if the US environmental regulations are at issue.

I don't believe Promo is as fluffy as the original Red Dot and therefore Alliant does not recommend it for metallic cartridges.

Thanks for the info!
My Webley Mk VI is a war trophy from my father-in-law, so I will not modify it. We shoot it on rare occasions. It appears the original .455 Webley boolit diameter spec of .454...

I double checked and came out with the same results proving the mould is slightly out-of -round.
I have a .455" expander for Auto Rim, so it would accept as-cast boolits if we go that route. It...

Well said! I could not notice as well that the boolit resembles a Civil War Minie, which would have been adopted about 1855. It looks like they were quickly learning about ballistic co- efficient at...

Fresh out of Bullseye, so might try HP38 at those levels. :)
Which cases and OAL are you using Outpost?

The Redding dual ring sizer is a spendy but worthwhile upgrade to an otherwise good die set.

We shoot a lot of 45 Colt, almost all with newfangled powders. Plenty of Cowboys at our shoots use Holy Black and subs to fulfill our needs for smoke.

30-1 Boolits with dummies utilizing cases with a boolit base supporting cannelure. Perhaps an Ideal :) match with the nose crimp as a finisher.

All red Loob is BAC from Lars applied with an RCBS Lam II with a .454 die.

With Auto Rim cases. This might not work too well after all.

Sure thing Oupost!
I had a typical casting session this morning. I ran a few more with 30-1 followed by 1-2-97. As expected, the ternary mix cast ok but was not as nice as 30-1. Both mixes drop...

Last year I purchased some odds and ends from a local old boy. Several rolls of 50/50 solder and a rusty pair of unvented Ideal 454190 blocks were included.
I used Evaporust to clean the blocks...

We have had several in the family over the years. No regrets with any of them.
The only one that remains is called " the New Yellow Rifle. It's a 222 with a lot of throat wear. It has accounted...

I bought over 5000 WSPs over the last 3 or 4 years.
No complaints here.

It is interesting that this subject has come up just now as I have been called closer to God.
It has been years since attending any Catholic Church function. Our local Parrish has weekday morning...
Another great set of responses from the resident 45 Colt experts! Thanks guys!
For my personal use, I popped for the Redding dual-ring sizing die. I am most happy with it. The old steel die that I...
Thanks to a recent thread on using Evaporust to clean old moulds, I now have an Ideal 454190.
I'm wanting to try a Binary mix, 20 or 40-1 and use Lee liquid Alox. I have a .454 Lee push through...
Since this old thread resurfaced, I find myself compelled to comment.
Now that demand for ammo and components has normalized, my last order came within a week.
Cast boolit basics still apply,...
