Here's a virtually new set of Hornady 9,3X57 dies (probably could load 9,3X62 with them too), partial box of Speer .366 270-grain HotCors and a bag of PPU 8X57 brass, 20 of them necked up and 10 of...

The Indian-made guns can be a good value if you are prepared to work them over. Some are fine out of the gate. This subject is a perennial one over at muzzleloader.com.
They can be an inexpensive...

I was very surprised by the technique described in this vintage article.

Dom, thank you for your insights on REAL bullets. The rifle incoming is a Pedersoli Kodiak double rifle, 1:48 twist barrels. I will definitely cast some with my current range scrap alloy before...

Thanks fellas. Yes, bottom pour. I use an old muffin tin for the ingot mold.

I have a Lee Production Pot I have used for 15 or more years, and keep it full of a mongrel mix of mostly range scrap. With a new .58 muzzleloader coming, I need to cast some REAL bullets for it, and...
Finally got the Accurate 31-115H mold, cast some slugs and loaded one just for starters. I think it is a darned handsome boolit.

I always felt I missed out on a Blackhawk in the Max. It seems like such a perfect hunting cartridge for a sixgun.
I enjoyed Milek back in the day and built a .30 Herrett -- my first wildcat --...

I have the Co-Ax and a Lyman O-frame on my bench and use the Co-Ax 90 percent of the time. Dislikes: changing the shell holder jaws for larger BPCR cartridges; shell holder jaws failing to hold onto...

I have admired these interesting rifles since I first saw them decades ago in the annual Gun Digests. Passed through Olney not long ago. It's not far south of Larry McMurtry's home town of Archer...

I caved today at my LGS after seeing them all weekend at our Rattlesnake Roundup gun show -- black, 5 1/2-inch barrel. The trigger is pretty crisp and I will shoot it before doing the one-spring-leg...

I emailed them and they confirmed the case-colored version has a steel receiver.
Look forward to your report. The Remington cartridge sixguns have fascinated me for years.

These little Colts got way more interesting to me after I saw this Youtube by Mark Hubbs of Eras Gone Bullet Molds. Check out that performance!

I have used Universal for years and find it very similar to Unique in usefulness, plus it seems to burn a bit cleaner, not that that has ever particularly mattered to me.
Well, for what it is worth I have an Accurate 31-115H on the way for my .30 Super Carry Smiths after reading Shoestring's posts on his 31-117E. This cartridge does not provide quite as much starch as...

I have been pleased by the virtual lack of sprue on balls cast in the Lee molds.
Never hurts to "vote." Take two minutes and email Starline; 100 keystrokes and "send." They are not mind readers: info@starline.com
A fella recently posted photos of his virtually new, possibly unfired Remington Rolling Block No. 4, and quite understandably bemoaned the lack of affordable .32 Long ammunition. Perhaps in future...
