I was going to start a thread to brag on Jagemann 45 Colt brass I got from Natchez but found this thread already in the forums.

I measured 15 cases and they were all within 0.001" of the same...

Hi, David2011.
I'm glad you posted your experience. It led me to learn that I have a similar experience with a Lee, 6-cav .452 RNFP, my go-to bullet for 45's. I cast perhaps 1,000 of these recently...

Hi, Flashhole.

I've been very pleasantly surprised by prices at our local Rural King store. Seems you can get some new guns for prices about the same as pawnshop used ones.

Good luck! Y'r ol'...

The firing pin strike and faint, rectangular obtrusion make me think this was fired in a Glock? The rectangular mark was obscured when I scraped the head trying to make the headstamp more visible.

Ah HAH! I got messed up trying to read the logo as characters. THANKS, guys!

Y'r ol' Bud, Fike

Today at the range I found some black 45 ACP cases. Very shiny/smooth but stained uniformly black. And they have a head stamp I can't read. Looks like a foreign language. I scanned it and then...

In my 450, I use a 30-caliber blank nose punch. The shank is the same as all the punches and the end supposed to fit over a bullet's point is undrilled flat. It makes my Lee 452 200-gr FP's very wide...

I should also say that the links do not lead you to specific powders, only to the "powder" page of each dealer. So if anyone is concerned that they'll be led only to H-110 and Bullseye, this is not...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've got a list of websites which I search periodically for powder and I just learned that I can automate the searching somewhat by incorporating the web links in a...

Y'r strip road pix remind me of when I used to be a passenger while my father-in-law drove on the strips up past the head of Little Creek [Chelyan, WV] hollow. We 'junked' and hunted morel mushrooms...

Taurus PT-145 & 11-rds of Fiocchi 200 HP's [which look like Hornady XTP's] in an Uncle Mikes #4.

Fits easily in the right front pocket of my Wall's Big Smith overalls.

BTW, these overalls have...

Arthritis makes lifting boxes of bullets and lead ingots tough for me. So I've looked for tools to help but haven't found much other than a baling hook which is handy for lifting the 31-lb. isotope...

While getting an oil change I asked at wal mart if they still didn't let people have used WW.

The guy checking me out said wal mart had quit handling lead WW.

And THIS is West Virginia, not...

Sigh! I guess I kind of 'knew' that even asking the question and knowing that i had a TCContender 357 barrel already. I'm surprised to learn that others' experience with midrange, 38-spl wadcutters...

Thanks, fryboy, for sharing your experience. Idda never guessed that a 357 barrel'd shoot 38 midrange very accurately but will try mine.

I had thought about loading the same bullets in 357 cases...

Howdy, All.

I would like to test 38-Spl. ammo for accuracy with my contender because it can be scoped and that works much better than open sights when one has old eyes. I have a .357 barrel but...

I saw you say you would try soap and wonder how that worked. My concern is that brass may be incompatible with organic acids for long term storage and some soaps in addition to sodium salts of...
