Pretty much any of the 160+/-gr SWCs will do the job.

Works with or without the GC. Low to high velocity, accuracy is...

If by full snort you mean you are looking for a big boom, pretty much any of the slow powders will work. They will probably also provide the highest velocity but the medium burning powders will come...

If the Lodge cast iron seems a little crude for anyone, American Culinary sells some really nice Wagner. Made in USA.

Renting an apartment is a business transaction and the lease is the contract. I'd take the lease to a good lawyer and get his opinion of the situation.

Well, not many props here but this old Ruger in .32 mag. has been with me on my trapline for thirty years now. It's like a dear old friend.

I started out in the 1980's with SAECO molds. Still using them.

Dillion is a funny company. I've called them on four separate occasions over the years and got a very disagreeable guy on the phone each time. They took care of the issue each time but the attitude...

This might be the answer as to why it's so hard to find retail. The bulk of it is going for commercial ammo.
I seem to remember in one of the Power Factor interviews with Chris Hodgdon that they...
I have four SAECO molds. They are high quality and easy to cast with. I'd say, clean them up and put them to work.

It's true. It exists. A few years ago I started seriously looking, online and local, and finally found some 2400 after a little over a year.
I found Unique and Bullseye after looking twice that...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Well, you might as well go for 2400. There are a lot of guys here who say they haven't seen it in years and they'd probably appreciate the tip on where to get it.

I'd be inclined to believe Alliant is getting out of the pistol/shotgun powder business. Finding their powder is far more miss than hit for me.
I do see their rifle powders a lot. I don't load for...

I wonder what the member per capita comes out to? ;)
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
That's something I don't like about this type of burn rate chart. No two powders can have the same rate. But then again, maybe no two powders do have the same burn rate.

I don't how many of you guys have seen this interview posted 12/19 on the Power Factor Show.
Lots of good info including a discussion of the new pistol/shotgun powders (Unequal).

I had the same problem with my security six. New springs settled the issue.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I think of sizing and lubing to be more of the loading process then the casting process, so I store mine as cast. I usually size and lube a day or two before loading.
