    As someone who's done some reloading with 30-30 WCF and starting to load with .300BO, here's my opinion on the matter.

    I'd say both cartridges are medium powered game-getters, but one of them,...

    Given the prices of .45 ACP these days I can see why many shooters want something more cost effective but also providing a similar frame size and intimately familiar platform. Plus, the heavier frame...

    I suppose that the critical part of the process is the lip of the top punch biting into the lead, causing the damage to the nose. No amount of lubrication is probably going to stop that.

    I think it looks ugly, and may affect stability. I'll certainly try lubricating the top punch.

    Aluminum Molds are generally more finicky, especially when you're using a 2 cavity mold with high grain weights. They heat up quickly but lose their heat just as fast. You're going to need to pay...
