FWIW, the original .38 Special Hydra-Shok load (pre-Federal, as made by Hydra-Shok Corp in Watkins Glen, NY) consisted of 3.3gr of 231 powder. The reason I know is, I bought up a lot of the...

Yep, the K frame with wood service stocks and the Tyler T-Grip is hard to beat.

Don

Will let you know when I get there.

I use that acronym for several businesses I run. And, no, I am not Russian.

Sorry, but range lead will not "ping".

Don

Dave,

I seriously doubt you are flooding the market with various leads from your linotype moulds.

Don

Not a big believer in the kinetic energy calculation, since it does not take bullet diameter into consideration.

K.E. = \frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^2.
K.E. Kinetic Energy
m Mass of the object...

Agree with Rod. Have Tyler T-Grips on several of my Smith & Wessons.

Grandson,

Some advice from an old timer: hard cast as used by the commercial bullet casters means nothing. It's a term that they all use for varying hardness of bullets.

K-38 Target Masterpiece made in 1954 for target shooting. 2.5" Model 19 using The FBI Load for serious work.

Don

Probably a good selection for the uses you stated. One thing to know, whatever diameter you specify in your order, I suggest you order a diameter .001" less than the diameter you want to size the...

The business end of the 359-640.

Ed,

Tier 2 are not "Ruger Only" loads - that would be Tier 3. Tier 2 simply takes the psi up from 14k to a little over 20k. Guns that are capable of and benefit by Tier 2 loads are the Smith &...

Ditto.

Don

It's a VERY strong design based on the Winchester 1892 - one of John Browning's best. It will take Ruger-only loads without batting an eye.

In designing my molds with Tom for my .45-70, we decided that one lube groove was preferable to two. Also, keep in mind that whatever bullet diameter you specify, Tom's mold will drop them at .002"...

In the long run, contact this guy http://www.hollowpointmold.com/contact/ and tell him you want him to remove the gas check portion of your mold. Being at the mercy of finding gas checks whenever...

I know Charlie. Note the "razz" emoji at the end of the sentence.

Don

Looks nice, except for the lack of a lube groove. :p

Don

Bob has it right.

Don

No doubt, the Lyman 452424. It's a 255gr SWC developed almost 100 years ago by Elmer Keith. Another good one is the RCBS 270SAA, a slightly heavier SWC.

Don

I lost count of how many of Tom's molds I have. But, know this: Every single mold where I specified a diameter with a specific alloy, the mold drops 0.002" over. So, I take that into...

Dusty has it. Fired in a Glock.

Don

Yep, sorry to see the sad end to Kim and his Ahrends Grips company. Always enjoyed talking to him and his wife. They made great and affordable grips.

Don

This one (S&W 52-2).
