Practice, practice, practice!

I'm not a pro but have taught many people to shoot. Most inaccuracies in the shooters I've taught are caused by flinching or yanking the trigger. I have had good...

Thank you. I know on the looking good part too. I wanted these to be clear and look good as well. Doesn't matter to function but it does look more professional. I just had an idea on the capsule...

So I solved the dilemma of the non-scrunching .38 loads when trying to use a roll crimp. I could not get my .38 dies to seat the capsule before trying to crimp it so the capsule was hanging out of...

This is the correct answer. I've done it several times and do the same with other ones--not only paypal.

Yeah, no telling why your won't scrunch down. Sounds like mine may be more bendy. I really like the extra payload in the capsule cap to avoid messing with a wad. I cut down the other end to the same...

I think you are crimping before the capsule is seated all the way. I just did a 7 1/2 shot load. 50gr of shot in 1/2 a capsule on top of the powder then 110gr in a capsule. 160gr payload....

OK, here's a different spin on it but also to show how I squish the capsule down to increase capacity.

.38 case ran deep into the .380 die to swage it down in size...

I thnk your crimp got them before they fully crunched down.. Mine will squash and form into bullet shapes without the crimp touching the case.

Set a live trap and you'll have your feral tom overnight. Then deal with him in whatever way you see fit.

Super dense load and damage for sure. Thanks for the shot. I may shoot a water jug and video it.

These were just waiting to go to the dumpster. Not used.

Thank you sir. SureYnot did a great job on his as well. The 2 shots of #12 out of the 9mm and .38 did this to the chairs I had the cardboard target backer laying on.

Interesting. Yep, it is .45/.410.

Geez, you're gonna get me in trouble. I'm guessing the brit has .45LC case dimensions? Would be interesting to swage the neck down to .355 and use the gelatin capsules. Hmm...303 Super Wasp...

I had considered splitting this thread off and starting another with the title indicating the evolution to the gelatin capsules as I feel that has been a breakthrough in this. But, I'm pretty lazy so...

Lol, it can. No restrictions on length. One thing I was going to point out about our different techniques is that I overload the capsule and let the seater crunch it down. It allows me to get another...

Oh, let me try that again:
I don't know how you managed to go this long without a 9mm revolver. I suggest the Czech Alpha-Proj imported by RIA. You MUST have it.

I like the derringer with the 9mm adapters for this although they also seat on the case mouth. Its small and easy to handle for this work. If I had a tiny .38 I'd be all over it for the increased...

Brutal pattern. Remember if anyone is loading 9mm a heavy crimp won't work due to seating on the case mouth in the chamber.

Those loads came out great. Texas by God sent me some #12 shot and I mixed up .38 and 9mm loads with them. I actually got 170gr of shot in the .38. 105gr in the 9mm

(1) 3" magnum HP slug out of dad's single-shot H&R 12ga was enough for me back when I was a teen in the 80s. Not a huge fan of getting the crap kicked out of my bad shoulders.

I was in my lower field today on the tractor and found this along the way.

Got the Diller Killer ready to go at dusk.

He's best watched with the sound turned off.

I have Asian hornets here in Arkansas but this guy was much bigger than them.

I'd have lined up a row of 4" solid concrete blocks and see how many it busted.

So I have this huge hornet hanging around. Looks like a European hornet but bigger--maybe a queen? 1.25-1.5" body as big around as a carpenter bee. I could have shot it but it wasn't bugging me so I...
