"Some of that stuff looks pretty old.
You need to get some of us older guys to test samples of it to help determine if it's safe so you don't shoot your eye out kid."
I'm 68 so I am "older"

I'll get a few more pics later. The cheapest price I saw (that was still readable) was $1.39 for a pound.
$50 a thousand for the primers. He had just sold 30,000 small pistol primers. I missed...

rbuck, I like the idea of the 256WM and I think it would make a great little lever gun.

davidmag,
And the reformed 357 brass is a lot stronger than the flimsy 32-20 brass. I have a buckeye ruger and it's not unusual to loose 1 or 2 cases every time I load a hundred of those empty...

John Boy,
A new barrel or did you reline the rossi barrel
Forum: Leverguns
Why not go with the 30-357? Easy to load down to 32-20 power if that's what your after, but with the 38 spc case, your power would be limited.
And there's the 360 Dan Wesson case too, to make an...

"is that possible ?"
OOOOOH yes it is! I'll have to look at my notes to get the powder charge, but with the 85 grain and a full load of 300MP, it was noticeably louder, and flashy. The cylinder...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
It's been done a dozen different ways before, but it's still interesting to me. I have "converted" an old blackhawk cylinder to 30/357, to use in my .30 blackhawk. I have gotten an eighty five grain...

ripshod,
I loaded some 300mp in 360DW. I modified my Rossi 92 to take the longer cartridge once Starline finally made the brass and I had it in hand. I had been wanting to do this for a while...

gunoil,
I like your set up and "press".
I just use a small piece of aluminum plate stuck to the 450 with some bullet lube (uck) as a deflector, this "shoots" them over and into a small...

greyhounds,
I too had that problem when I first started using my 450 as a push through sizer.
It seemed that IF a bullet had a little resistance going through the sizer die. The extra force...

Angus,
I have that mold in the solid point version. It is very easy to use because without the grooves, the boolits fly out of the mold. It is the fastest castin mold I own. No need for added...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
I HAVE noticed a big difference. Without all those lube/crimp grooves, the boolits almost jump out of the mold when you open them.

The mail lady left me a couple of new molds yesterday. I knew they were on the way as I had just looked at the tracking and saw that they were out for delivery. She usually gets here right after...

dilly,
The gun in question is a rifle, but it's real easy to not over do it. You just have to check it often. Like douguy sez, you really ain't gotta worry bout over doing it.

bangerjim,
Not to worried about it passing the "hammer test" as long as it stays on till it gets in the bore. Then it will do it's job. As long as it would mix well enough to be sprayed and...

I have thought about this a few times but never pursued it as I did not need to lap anything since starting to PC. But another fellow I know might have the need to fire lap, so I'm thinking about it...

Frank,
The 454 carrier (lifter) has a slanted (toward the bottom) tip on it, because the mag tube hole is lower in the receiver. This is because of the screw in mag tube's larger OD where the...

I use 800x at 13.5 in my blackhawk and rossi levergun with a 454424. works great just aggravating to measure. I found the best way around the poor measuring is to just forget about it....
