Thanks, I see another .38-55 in my future but it won't be any time soon. I had the lee 250 gr mold for it and it had way better lube grooves than the lee 8mm. After I gas check and size the 8mm, the...

Thanks for the replies. Can I lube the base and just load the boolit directly on the powder? Do I need a card or will the powder be ok? I need to play with a fired case and an unlubricated boolit,...

I have an 1894 carbine that I have shot a couple of deer and an elk with using j bullets. I've shot a few deer with cast in my .308 and .38-55(that I foolishly sold).
Now I want to try to harvest a...

I have a mk 1 Webley, shaved to .45acp. The cylinder throats measure .448/.449".
4 gr of unique under a 250 gr soft .452 bullet is starting to keyhole. 4 1/2 gr shoots a little better, but I don't...

My boolit is clip ons and a hint of tin. I might cast a batch of 50/50 range scrap(pistol boolits) and clip ons to try.

I'm thinking low in the shoulder, or behind the nearside shoulder and through the
far shoulder. Probably not the speed or profile for a "ribs through and through".
I need to load a bucketful of...

I shot some itty bitty groups today with my no 4 Enfield.
27 gr h4895 under a 314299. It clocked 1650 on the chrony and
it was all over the paper at 28 gr/1700.
Would you hunt deer with it at...

Case capacity would be similar, as would the velocity. I'd like to try the 4350 too if I get around to it, but most people point to RL 15 as powder of choice for the 9.3x62.

So I did'nt like that crappy synthetic stock and I managed to pick up a nice wood one for $70.
Shot my 1st group this afternoon. 5 shots into about 4" at 80 yds, not impressive at all. So I jammed a...

Thanks,
I had thought of using them for plinking loads in .223, but I know pistol primers are thinner. I figured that I'd be safer with thick brass in a pistol load than thin primers in a rifle...

So I was dumping garbage and found a coffee can with a couple of hundred small primers. I can't remember putting them in a can, kids might have got into them.
They could be small rifle or small...

Resurecting this, if anyone cares. I realised that I had serious bedding issues, so I did a hillbilly bootpolish/JB weld bedding job and my Husky is now shooting like a different gun! Also beagled...

I run 30 gr of h4895 in my .308 with a boolit about that weight, kills deer as good as store bought bullets.

Thank you sir, that's what I was looking for.

I only size half the neck and they start to split before they even reach the shoulder. I did'nt anneal the brass I have before I formed it and some of it was used when I got it. I have tried using a...

I have had this Ruger 77/22 hornet since I moved to Canada from the UK 7 yrs ago. I have'nt got to play with it much as I just have'nt had time. Now I'm living in Saskatchewan surrounded by gophers!...

I tried the 1/2 pipe today, not a success. I ground it gently, kept dipping it in a bucket of water so it never got hot. 1st attempt it lost it's edge right away, second attempt I deliberately did'nt...

Southron, I prefer more traditional guns but right now I needed
something cheap and simple. I get very little time to cast and shoot
so the CVA wolf will have to be my muzzleloader for this seasom....

Thanks guys, Hoping I can get good accuracy without a wad too. Looking forward to getting my mold.

I just bought my 1st inline after foolishly selling my flintlock. I moved house and find myself in an area with a muzzleloader season.
I bought a CVA wolf .50 and ordered a lee 320 gr mold. I...

I've had a bunch come out of the pot without giving up their lead, and had a couple spray molten lead from a pinhole in the jacket right out of the pot. Maybe your using a bigger pot and more heat,...

Thanks guys, finally went with bolt cutters. It is time consuming but I moved recently and I'm too far from my WW guy. Gun ranges have always been a source of brass and lead for me, but now I'm...

So I was digging in the backstop at the range today, a lot of what I got are TMJ bullets.
I had a handful last time and I whacked them with a hammer, but it took a few blows to split the jacket. Was...

I have Titewad and Winchester 296. I had been using Unique for buckshot and slugs but I dumped what was left in my Loadall into my progressive .40 press.

Thanks guys. This might be a stupid question. If I am using a reduced load and 2400 likes higher pressure, would magnum primers help it burn cleanly or would they raise the pressure even more? I have...
