Thank you for all of the replies. I will use them as I have the the CCI's etc.

Was wondering if anyone has used these. I got some today at Sportsman's in Carson City and at Cal Ranch in Carson. They were a little cheaper at Sportsman's. Won't be able to test them for a few...

I'm sorry I didn't mention the weight of the bullet, it is a 380 gr. All I have is black powder in 3f. I have shot these before but many years ago and don't remember the load.

Where can I find the load data for the Lee REAL. It has been a long time and I don't remember how much powder to use with this projectile.

[QUOTE=Sasquatch-1;5611304]I little word of caution, you may want to weigh those. I use the same mold and mine tend to drop at 250 grns.
I get 250 grns with mine also. Not to many loads for the...

Soon 76 don't remember when I started but wasn't yesterday.

I assure all of you that I didn't drink or buy these and have had them a long time. These are the best for gas checks they are .014 think and you can get a lot out of each can if you cut into strips....

3M Lead Check Swabs (Pack of 2), Instant Lead Test (LC-2S24C) Look these up on Amazon

Go to the Swapin and sellin and put in a want to buy ad for a tumbler and see what happens.

I kinda sorta do both. I made a tall stool with pad and prop my butt on that and still have both feet on the floor. I do wear leather apron, gloves and tall boots. Most of the weight is on the...

Thanks JB don't think I've seen that page before.

Self taught, well that and this web site. Thanks to everyone here who helped.

With that in mind I will lower the loads in the rest to 32 gr and see how it goes. I do have a 180gr mold that looks promising I will try that next.

I decided that today would be a good day to start reloading for my Krag. The bolt looks good and the bore is great. My problem is the different load data listed in different books.
For my first try...

You have an oiled patch pushed against the powder. Will that make any difference or will it contaminate the powder? Why take a chance.

What he said!!^^^^^
I cast because I can and enjoy it, not so much for cost. But in todays environment I can go out and shoot all day without worrying about not having something that is short...

I'm doing it now with a lady who rides (horses) with my wife. A good time to learn.

Now yer stuck, good luck, welcome to the addiction.

Unlike most here I'm going to tell you not to get a gun. I have an Eastwood and I'm telling you if you get one it will be like old saying about "being a Hammer". You will be looking at all bare...

DG I haven't had a chance to discuss with my friend yet but was thinking the front band would help make things stronger. Like you say cutting the stock back would make a more "pleasing ratio of stock...

Got the stock from DG and it mostly fits. It will need to be shorter and bedded.254782 I think having the front band would help keeping things together. The barrel and reciever seem to fit well....

I've decided to take DG up on his offer. In the mean time I believe I have fixed the trigger guard 254642
I will use the stock to develop my crack fixing skills.
LAGS I'm not so much a "Stock...

I'll only get it if I end up buying other things. As you say I can make one from stuff I already have (I think)

Thanks for the info, I've gotten things from Numrich before not sure why I didn't think of it. They have "Stock, Sporter, Semi-Finished, Walnut" $45. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1370200 Not...

Took all of the pieces over to show my friend and let him know what will be involved. As I noted earlier he asked about a new stock but also said this will just be a shooter. He will pay for the...
