Thanks bigdog454, that confirms the load data for shotgun that was handwritten on a piece of paper and taped to the opened can.
I plan on using it for 38 special loads, at the rate the missus shoots...
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I know it's not surplus, but this seemed a good place to ask.
Anyone have data for Herters 162 shotgun powder?
I have 9- 1 lb. cans of this, all but 1 are unopened.
The opened one smells fine, and...

We lost our son 3 years ago, to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
He was 21 years + 1 day old.
We had lots of years to try and prepare for the inevitable, but I'm not sure how much it mattered.

Those of you that cast the Lyman 12ga sabot slug, what do they measure when cast from lead and also from WW's?
I'm interested in doing some load development with the Lyman, to see if I can get...
I'm looking for some of these wasp waisted slugs, to try out before I buy the mold.
If there is anyone that has 10-15 of these they would be willing to sell or trade for ? bullets, or whatever, I...
I cast the 1 oz Lee, and get better results than huntsman is getting. I don't claim to be an expert with these but this is my experience with them.
One thing I found was the wad would get pushed up...

Thank you Sean for Honcho duties.
For some reason, I thought these moulds came with handles like single and double cavity Lee moulds.
So, I now need to buy 6 cavity Lee handles? Any suggestions...
Forum: Group Buy Archives
I have three of those moulds, two double cavity and one single cav.
It's a great bullet, at least as accurate as either the 429421 or the RCBS 44 250 KT
in all 44 I've tried it in.

I cast the Lee 1oz. slugs.
They work really well seated atop an aluminum flashing "cookie" to keep the wad from obturating into the base of the slug and sticking to the slug during flight. Previous...
I have a Lyman 16ga. slug mold NIB.
I'll try to find it (we moved to a new house two months ago and I'm just now starting to see my casting stuff, though the closest I've gotten is 4 ft away)

Sean, be on the lookout for a PM from me. I'm moving, and will have a new address to ship my mould to.
Thanks, Mark

Hi folks, I have a few Lyman 45's I've accumulated. They work fine, except for the leakage around the top of the die, and sometimes around the set screw.
Has anyone found a good method to stop the...
My experience is only one example. I bought a new M-97 41mag 4 1/4" almost 2 years ago. It has proven to be the most accurate and pleasing firearm I've ever owned. By a long, long shot. I like my...

Count me in for two please.
See Lloyd, I did manage to get registered.
It just happened to be in 2005, and for some reason, I couldn't log in last year.
