I have always used any fast powder that is available, but prefer Red Dot for cast and jacketed target loads-there is no room for a double charge. If I was only shooting FMJ bullets, I would use...

I have only used LilGun in rifles: 300BLK and 30-30.
It works well enough in both for me to keep using it. It excels in the 300BLK with 150 grain bullets. It is a good short range, small game load...

I was not sure, sounded to me like he put that on hold.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
On mine, occasionally, the brass may not go all the way into station #1. This will cause it to catch on the de-capping pin and dent the case mouth. The press has to be fine tuned with its adjustments...

I have a Winchester model 94 XTR. It appears to have a .375 inch bore, unlike a 38-55. However, the chamber must be as long as a 38-55 chamber; I use untrimmed 38-55 brass as a normal practice....

I use this same technique for my 375Win. A fired 308 in a 308 shell holder with the 375 collet crimp die installed, allows me to set a 375 bullet -with a gas check in place- on top of the 308 case...

When I bought my safe, I removed the door—was not sure I could when I started. The door was 1/3 of the total weight. So, I recommend taking the door off if you can. Mine weighed about 500 pounds...
There is no modification required to change the slide to a bull barrel-no bushing. Just have the new barrel fit buy a gunsmith for best results.

When I consider the labor involved in making a mechanically complex steel gun, I do not think the prices are out of line with the rest of the economy.
My Ruger Marlin is much nicer than my older...

I think you just need more powder.
5.0 is a starting load.
You need a good taper crimp—squeeze it, it will still be accurate.322149
Also, if you are wet tumbling your brass, make extra...
I am wondering if they could be loaded, as is, with a funnel—maybe one made from the top half of a cutoff 223 casing. Use a fast powder that does not fill the case.
Or load them with rubber...
I shot a lot of 40’s in a Colt Delta Elite without issue, before re-barreling. I did find that I needed 40S&W mags to make it reliable.
As it happened, the gun had a poorly fit factory...

I had good luck with 500 of their coated 165 grain 30/30 bullets—fired from a Winchester 94AE. I kept them between 1000-1100fps. At higher velocities, the barrel started collecting the coating.

I ordered from him, never got the product or a phone call. I tried several times to communicate. Eventually, I had VISA refund my money. I do not think he should be able to advertise a product that...
I do not load 45ACP above what most people describe as “Standard Velocity” for the particular bullet used. I have never noticed a difference between those loaded with Magnum, Standard, large or...

The CCI Quiet 710fps performs well in Ruger SP101 Revolvers.

348 Winchester ?
Just a thought, as I was recently reading about the caliber.
With one exception, all of those powders will perform about the same.
Accurate #7 is not designed for short barrel target loads, and it is a very dirty powder. I use it in a 9mm carbine, and have...
Put the Band-Aid on before you shoot-at least that is how I shot my HiPower.

Checking my notes, I see that I used 18.9 grains Alliant 2400 with a 205gas checked bullet from Matt’s Bullets in the 35 Remington Marlin and got 1611fps, SD of 26, 1.5 moa. Wolf Large Pistol Primer...
