These were Factory PMC 357magnum, they are from South Korea. I have not ventured into reloading .357 magnum no real need to. Out of the Rossi they averaged 1711 fps. 125grn plated bullet. Probably...

I cut my thumb just by dragging my thumb across that sharp edge, not from moving the lever!

Yes, there is visible bulge. No, I didn't measure it. I don't think it will be an issue if reloading.

Yes, I'm going to bevel that loading port edge.

Thanks for the link, will check later.

So I spent a couple of hours at the range today. Had the whole range to myself, a private club and I'm a member. Start off by stating this is my first real lever action rifle, not counting BB guns!...

Yes, new in box, ordered from Kentucky Gun. (20" stainless version) Picked it up at a local FFL yesterday afternoon. Looks great, wood looks great. Fit and finish look fine. Action was smooth but...

I’m expecting a R92 38/.357 stainless to show up Thursday or Friday. I’ll give an unboxing report. If the weather is good I’ll take it to the range on Monday.
This thread should really be in the "Factory and Surplus Powder" area. I just found it and I've been around here for a few years!

I discovered the Lyman powder measure is not for use in a progressive press. I’ll stick with the Dillon.

I can't find anything meeting that description. Lyman doesn't show a measure by that name on their site. Can you take a picture of it and I'll check into finding a used one.
Lyman current...

Thank you! I really like the CBI powder in my .45's, it the only powder I have used in .45's for the last several years! I still have about 6 lbs left!
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
Thank you for the response. I'm not going to give up on it, I admit that I probably have enough of other powders to last the rest of my "shooting" life, I'm 69. I'll probably load about 500 rounds...

The following were based on 4.2 grns of 700x but the results show the average is only slightly higher than 4.0. This is due to the nature of the powder, I made several test measures showing 4.2grns...

It has been a while since I've posted here. I was a heavy poster and tester for the CBI powder a few years back. In fact the CBI powder is what pushed me to buy the LabRadar chronograph. Over the...

I'm glad you confirmed my results in 9mm. I'm very happy with this powder in .45ACP and "for the record" I sold off 8 of the 16 pounds to a local reloader. I'm going to stick with titegroup for 9mm...

Some further research shows that loading is "similar" to Solo 1250 which looks like it was discontinued about 10 years ago. Some old load data is here:...

I'm beginning to think this is some type of 'special' use powder. It might have started out as some manufacturers pistol/shotgun powder but I think it has 'filler' material added to increase the...
