Lots of good bullets for the .38/.357 exist. My personal favorites are the Lyman 358477 and 358311. I'll load either over 5.0gr of Unique for a VERY accurate load.

Don, that's a heck of a deal in my opinion. You did good, sir!

Thank's for posting this!

I have some older MagTech in 45acp (230gr ball) in brass cases that I've been super happy with. Got a steal on it back in 2012 at the Wanenmacher show for like $150 for a case. Haven't had a single...
Yeah, I'll be honest, I would do business with Mihec any day. I don't have any issues with Al, but I do think his products are of subpar quality compared to Mihec's - in other words, I'm biased...

Every SP101 I've handled has had a butter smooth action. The main issue is the heavy trigger pull. Not a problem for me with my gun, but for others I could see where it would be a problem. I...
Thanks, Jedman!
It was fun working this one out. And honestly I didn’t expect to get groups this good with it. But here I am with something I and others didn’t quite expect.
That said, I’ve...

That accounts for the rise in spot price, not people selling it for more than spot. Spot is the value of the metal on the market. Sort of like the price for corn, price for gas, or price for any...

Ok, but not everyone has a Star. I would say probably 1-2% of people have Star Sizers. Most people are going to have a Lyman or RCBS Lubesizer. People who own Star sizers are the exception to the...

Where is everyone getting this "takes more time" thing. It's literally faster than lubing. Probably about the same as LLA. If it's adding time to how long it takes you're doing something very...

It really is amazing. I used to expect a fair bit of leading in 9mm when I'd get a new gun until I got things worked out. Not anymore... I too still keep the Lubesizer mounted on the bench, with...

Absolutely! Everyone should have the right to have their own opinions!

But in all seriousness, I've wanted a Ruger No 1 for a long time. It looks like you got a nice one!

That's basically what I was trying to say. Pretty much everyone except a few die hard holdouts and fence sitters have universally agreed this is the way... If what they're doing works for them, so...

I too prefer Keiths. But I've shot other molds with large meplats and they did very well. I'm not one to think that all large percentage meplat bullets will do well. I haven't shot the hammer...
This was exactly my experience with the 452-228-1R. I only bought a 2-cav mold probably 12-13 years ago. I ended up purchasing a 452-200-SWC in a 6cav about 4 years ago and haven't looked back. I...

Back when I was a kid, I'd go out to the ponds with my single-shot .22LR and shoot them off the logs. My grandfather always told me they ate all the fish. One pond in particular I could sit at all...

To the leading part,
