Just bought my first designated carry gun in 9mm and after lots of bullet review opted to work up some loads using Lehigh critical defense 90 gr. solid copper slugs . As they are solid copper and...

Hello to all fellow gun enthusiasts . I recently bought a Savage 23aa in 22 LR that shoots better than the trigger will allow . Shooting from a vice with its favorite ammo it will chew under 1/2 inch...

Thanks guys . You all have eased my mind and am going to get one of these presses . 10 Spot .

Marin Golden 39A for me . Built solid as a rock and the micro groove rifling was superb for accuracy .extremely smooth and positive action . I used to shoot nearly a brick of ammo in one setting...

Living in deer and elk country one day while in a pawn shop of all places I spied a Browning X-bolt Medallion in 300 Win.Mag and was impressed by its condition so I bought it . Being an OCD reloader...

Hello everybody . Looking to getting back into reloading after a several year layoff in a GREATLY reduced capacity . Sold off appx. 75% of my of my exstensive amount of equipment and want to keep it...

LOL !!!

I couldnt agree more ! They say you cant fix stupid ,,,,, but occasionaly you can head it off before it causes any damage .

Once again I see the indelible issue of assumption by the elite few who assume that the OP would be so inept that he would not know to check recommended loads by others who may or may not be as...

Thanks guys !

I should be able to get something going with all this info you guys have given me . I do have the Lyman 48th and it only shows the 311291 in a similar grain weight to the HPs' I...

I just aquired about 200 165 gr. hollowpoint gas checked casts in a trade and am wanting to load them in a Savage 340 bolt action 30-30 . Am hoping to get around 1800 fps and wonder if any of you...

Iron goes in the garbage as do the clips.
If you fish you can make sinkers out of the zinc weights.
the dross as long as you never had any zinc contaminants can render it into like recovered range...

This is the dilemma I have ran accross with wadcutters of late insofar as those "tried and true" powder and starting charge references go. Different wadcutters of different designs ( even slightly )...

This was a promo gun run made for Lew Horton Distributors . When I went to buy one they were all in the hands of private owners. I bought the classic ( not hunter ) later for $650.00 with a 7 1/2 in....

This would explain a lot in my cast bullet tests I have done in my .38 Spl. lately . Not only different lubes but have tried different alloys as well . I will try to get my barrel to stabilize with a...

Thanks guys. In essence everyone seems to agree this would be a good thing and I thoroughly expect to have a good time working up these loads . I am leaning toward having the hollowpoints be somewhat...

I opted to use the Speer capsules as they allow you to use nearly 20% more shot in your loads as the caplules extend past the mouth of the cases the same as a bullet. I use the 5.5 grs. of unique...

I have been busy this last week reading info from various sources insofar as best hollowpoint performance in typically slower cartridges such as the .38 special. In the vast majority of the articles...

Yessir ,,, That is the direction I am Heading. When I made the rather large batch of 411 lube I made about 2 dozen sticks and the rest went into 4 oz. cakes for later possible pan lube use. I am...

Gear you nailed the 411 recepie dead on. I went out to the shop and found the recepie stashed with my home made stick moulds and it was built as you said but with about 3.5 ozs. of red wax from...

Pretty sure its time for me to switch lubes so am looking for some input from you guys who have tried a few or just unlike me were able to get it right the first time. I started casting for rifles...

It will definitely melt off. That dip you are refering to is plastic. Plastic starts to soften pretty good at just over 200 degrees and as lead melt temp for casting is 650 degrees and higher those...

Very entertaining posts for sure. After reading all of the posts it occurs to me that many who posted here need to stay well away from Transylvania for sure ! They have a name for guys who want to...

I was bored one evening and took some of my New Finish 2000 polish that I add to my media for brass and used some to hand buff some Lyman # 358439 HPs already loaded in some +P 38s and that was about...

IMR 4227 to load hotrod rounds for a Savage Sporter in 32-20 as per the Lyman 44th edition manual . It was the test firearm used in that edition and the factory ammo was severely handicapped due to...

Met a man several years ago named Don Peters who was a county trapper. He had a pair of them he raised from pups, both males. In the county where he lived the urban sprawl started getting into the...
