+ 1 with Strawhat! My 452423 casts in my mould with my alloy at 238 grains. It runs smoothly through all my acp guns and my Colts Love it! I do too, I save 30 grains of lead with every shot.

Mine has nothing to do with recoil, in fact it's a .22 Hornet. It's an old Navy Arms, I think, Remington small action Rolling Block rifle (they made a pistol as well) that refuses to group ANY...

You can also us a number 2 pencil to stick the dacron into the case.
A very interesting read. I find that 330 HP a very good boolit in my Siamese Mauser rebarreled to 45-70. It's tempting to increase the powder charge a bit as the action will take a LOT more than...

Well, at least until he's done at the range and knows the results. That's what usually drives me there!

I'm not familiar with the Ranch Dog 323-180RF but I have been shooting the RCBS 32-170 in my 94 for some years now. It works well ahead of IMR 3031. I think that style is still readily available...

I've got 2, maybe 3 in storage. We bought them used and it seemed we always had to repair the drag. People tightened it down then stored the reel for 6 months or 6 years. First thing I did when we...

Are they selling off the equipment, or is there a chance someone else will buy the company?
Say, how did the .45 mould work out? Your work truly is a fine example of Art.
"Crush fit" is what I call it. That's why I like to find the old S&W models with a pinned barrel.

Sure glad I read this thread. For whatever reason I never thought of using those surplus 147 gr fmj in the Swiss. Thanks!

I've got 10 more in my recycle bag if you want them.

A very suitable recipe for this 68th Anniversary of D-Day in France.

I Love artichokes!
When we lived just off Highway 1 about 20 miles or so N of Castroville (the Artichoke Center of the World) I got to eat a lot of them. I fondly remember one year when I could...

Wow, I've got to hold my tongue or be castigated by our overworked moderators.

Hey Rocky, I'll send you my spare. I bought 2 of them in an attempt to double my grade in Calculus. Didn't work then, probably wont now either.
I'm loading for a Charter too, and use 6.5 Unique...

What does it weigh now? Is the other end a HP pin? I'm still trying to figure out if the flat or HP thumps harder or kills deader.:popcorn:
Of course, I'm still trying to quantify the...
Did it by chance come with a Thompson Center Renegade ML in .54 Caliber?
That Renegade has a twist rate that shoots those Minié style hollow base boolits VERY well. I happen to use the Ideal...

I use 12 and 13 (mostly) gr H4227 with my 120 grain 311 359 GC in my Carbines. Functions well and gives good accuracy.
Larry, how does that 311 316 feed in your Carbine? I've not tried it...

I have not used that particular plain base boolit, but I'd imagine it would work at reasonable velocities. I'm thinking your 44 Mosin is probably 11" twist like mine so it should stabilize OK.

Very interesting.
This would eliminate my problem with my Brother beating the heck out of my 4 C sprue plates when I'm not there to supervise.:wink:

I don't know for sure, but Red River Rick out of our Northern neighbor, Canada, made some Beautiful Lee and Ideal style handles.
If he's still doing it, I'd contact him.

I think waksupi was referring to the fact that this is very well plowed ground. Y'all have your opinions and I have mine.
