Based on my experience with two 94 Winchesters and a recently acquired Savage 340, pay attention to and adhere to the overall cartridge length listed in the manuals. If too long the cartridge will...
I've a friend who wants to put together some heavy 44 Magnum loads using the Keith bullet. He wants the original version with a flat base and longer front band. He has no interest in the so called...
Thanks all. I certainly see the need for low, or modest pressures in the Open Top. I have some cast RN 200 gr. bullets, and several of the Berry copper coated 185 gr. hollow base round nose-all...
I recently, and unexpectedly, acquired a Cimarron Open Top 45 Colt revolver. It's in great shape and I'm eager to shoot it. Factory ammunition is scarce and expensive; but I discovered a die set...

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. Looks like I'll be borrowing a friend's RCBS seater until I can locate a Lee FCD. I did confirm that my Redding BR seater does not have a crimping...

My die set is “put together”-Redding body die, Lee collet die, and Forster bench rest seater. I have not checked but I didn’t think the sewer had a crimping shoulder.
Reasonable and thoughtful...

I'm in need of a crimp die for 308 Winchester. The Lyman "M" die flares the case mouth for the seating of a cast bullet just fine. Only a minimal amount of flaring is required but I need to close...
Looks like gtbullets and Montana Bullet Works are gonna fix me up just fine. Thanks to all you guys for valuable input. Just as I expected.
When that 10 cavity gets going I expect it's fun to see that pile grow quickly.
My S&W Model 19 has worked it's way to the front of my safe. Nostalgia is calling for some loads from Skeeter's era. I no longer cast and need to find a source for the Ray Thompson bullet from the...
Please continue with load development for cast loads in the Roberts. I have a Ruger Hawkeye Roberts and a few 100 gr. gas check bullets that I need to start on. I'd like to know where your project...
I recently ran across a Ruger #1 in 458 Win. Magnum, nice wood and I had to have it. My old shoulder needs a mild load. I've tried one load-a 385 gr. roundnose & TrailBoss; it key holes like crazy....
Your reply is appreciated. Any idea of the velocity of either of the loads? Is that boolit available from a commercial caster?
I need suggestions for mild cast loads in a Ruger Hawkeye .257 Roberts. Any feedback appreciated.

IMR 4227 works well in my 03A3 with 165 gr. GC bullet. Notes not in front of me, but 22 or 23 grs. comes to mind.

I've been wanting one of these for a while. The timing of availability and my jingle just don't seem to go together.
I'm using IMR4227 in a Remington 700 308 with 165 gr. cast. The combo shoots quite well using data from the Lyman cast manual.

A friend has broken the decapping pin in his Herter 223 die. As the pin is integral with the stem, the complete stem must be replaced. Where can replacement stems be found? Or will the stem from...
