I have a Super RedHawk in 454, I would sure like to have a lever gun to go with it. I’ll keep looking and find one some day.

I’ll go along with Delkal here. I use the Lee 300 gr. LFN. With a near max dose of H-110 it hits good on both ends, and very accurate in my Super RedHawk. Good velocity and good bullet weight you...

I started in about 1988. It was a Lee 3 hole turret press, still have it and still use it. Added a Lyman 8 hole turret press about a year ago. Many die sets later, it still gets used regular.

I run along the same line of thought as fordwannabe, in that I use straight wheel weights for everything from paper to deer. However I do sometimes cut them 50/50 with soft lead for me and my sons...

I would think if your bench is pretty close to level your scale should be ok. But the leveler the better. I have a Hornady electronic measure and my bench is good and level, but I leave mine on a...

This is a small motor with a drill chuck attached to the shaft that I found in a box of loose stuff I got at an auction. Just attached a Lee hand primer pocket cleaner. Just a touch to each...

Totally agree on the key is everything is kept moisture free as possible. I use a cheap hot plate from Wally World. I preheat ingots before going into the mix. Also put wheel weights on the plate,...

Wow! I’m impressed. I didn’t know wet tumbling worked so much better than my walnut and corncob media in vibrating tumbler. Of course mine would prolly work better if I replaced the media more often....

I like the idea of a heavy 30-30 bullet. Oughta be worth playing with. Hollow point or just flat point ought to hit hard. Do you think, after shooting some, that 3031 is a good fit or maybe a bit...

Great pic. Nothing better than “first deer” pics. I have one with each of my kids. Looking forward to grand kids getting little older. And one more thumbs up for the 243, my very favorite deer round...

I’m another one for just dropping from the mold straight to bucket of water. Not really for any other reason than it’s convenient. I have a sifter that I used to use with my tumbler for separating...

I can’t say I have ever seen a hollow point that drastic. Is that a hunting bullet?

Dang, I’ve never had that happen.
Nice looking bullets though. What bullet are those specifically?

I have always used brake cleaner before I start casting. And the hot plate has been the best accessory I have. Keeps molds hot, ingots warm and dry, and wheel weights condensation free. Starting with...

I have been slowly passing some of my guns down to my kids to enjoy. I kept my favorites. As for the new years question, I plan on getting to the range a lot more and ringing a lot more steel...

I agree with most. I haven’t voted because I have both and hunt with both. Variety is the spice of life. Keep the 30/30 and get a Rossi. Only “problem” is it will lead to other lever guns. Buy shoot...

So, I got it about thinning the LLA. Is it better to lube then size? The sizer takes the lube off the bands, but an RCBS lube a matic only puts lube in the grooves. Or lube, size and lube again? Or...

I’ve been shooting straight wheel weights for years with great results. But after reading posts on this forum, I might try 50/50 mixed with soft lead. Will be curious the difference on deer. Plus it...

I shoot a lot of 200 gr RNFP from a six cavity Lee mold. That’s our daily go to bullet. For hunting I use the 255 SWC. Works every time. My son and I have taken several deer with that bullet.

Have about 350 pieces of 45 Colt brass sized, expanded and primed. So I Lee lubed about that many Lee 200 gr RNFP bullets to go with them. Tomorrow I will start putting them all together, today will...

I noticed a couple of my Lee molds take a couple knocks to release the bullets. After reading this, I’m definitely going to try to smooth up one and see how it works. Thanks JonB for the excellent...

I really like them both. They are so versatile. I started out years ago with W231. Then come up wit some AA7. I bought a 8 pound jug of AA5, and use it a lot. Unique is almost always suitable. I try...

Nice! We have three Rossi 92’s. One 44 and two 45’s. I load my 45 with 200 gr. RNFP and mid range load of W231 or AA5. It has become my very favorite rifle. Also a Uberti SAA in same 45 Colt. Lots of...

I reduce WW down to one pound ingots. Then I stack those neatly on the stem wall foundation in my shop, up off the floor.

Been on vacation for couple weeks. Always nice to get some time off and get some things done around the place. Been out in gun room some every day. Yesterday I got a batch of about 400 45 Colt brass...
