I've posted about the 3% warning in the past and sadly I can't find my old post.
I do know my 2011 Hodgdon/IMR/Winchester manual (that I am holding in my hand right now) has the 3% warning. btw,...

I bought three 5 gallon buckets of them from a auto-recycler many years ago.
I ingotized all of them and tested the alloy, it was 14-15 BHN.

Nick Harvey's Practical reloading manual lists both.

IMR-4198
start 10.3gr 2135fps
MAX 12.2gr 2412fps

IMR-4227
start 9.5gr 2200fps
MAX 11.2gr 2430fps

I only had that issue once.

Many years ago, I wanted to try AA4100 in my S&W500. It was no where to be found. So, I worked up a load of Unique. Then about 6 months later, I found a jug of...

Gee, H110 is my GoTo powder for Hot 41mag (or 44 mag) loads with heavy projectiles. Surprisingly accurate.
Yeah, I guess it's use is narrow.

One crazy powder not yet mentioned, is Lil'Gun. It's...

The decision is easy.
Get both ;)

I don't recall who that was.
BUT, I think using standard brass cases is easily doable for your application.
That's my 2¢

While I never had my account locked (and I also use Paypal a lot), I did have some funds locked. It was several years ago. I was in the middle of a deal with a castboolit member, I think it was...

You've been given a bunch of good answers so far. Many of us use wheel weights because we could get them free or very cheap in the past, hence the recommendation you found. Really, the precise...

When playing with unknown alloys, it's really best to have a thermometer. While COWW will melt at 550, your melter could get the alloy much hotter. IF the balance weights are pure lead...and IF...

downrigger weights could be anything...even Zinc.

Most Banks are Woke.
Just google the ESG report (or rating) of any Bank you are curious about.

Dang, that Island Tax is way worse than Biden Tax :shock:

I guess it's been discussed and decided, but I'd like to add, that since the 22LR shortage, FREE spent 22LR cases are not common anymore. Obviously the cases are still out there, but if your source...

I haven't smelled any new ATF, lol...
I can get vintage ATF for free at the County HHW reuse room.
As to smell, I use Turpentine (instead of MS), just because I like the Piney fresh smell...PLUS,...

LOL
:holysheep

Are the cases trimmed to proper length?

About 12 years ago, when I was using 9mm brass for swaging jacketed bullets, I was buying range brass by the Flat rate boxes...many of them. The seller knew I was using some of them for swaging. He...

I have never seen a boolit lube go bad, if it was properly stored. I have a few fairly old "collectable" packages of Lube, one is Ideal...not sure how old that could be? I'd be curious to know when...

2 cycle oil will be fine for some aspects...Over the years, I've learned that a variety of guns need a variety of oil/lube products.

I realize you posted...


But when you posted this, I figure I should chime in with some science for others reading it.



Actually, Linotype (which has 12% antimony) has a melt temp of 459ºF,...

Did you see the video clips on the news, where The WNBA Player was speaking in court?
Talk about a deep voice :shock:

webwil,
Welcome to the forum.
congratulations on your first post.

Years ago, I bought 3 buckets (5 gal size) of battery terminals from the auto salvage yard. There were a couple strange...

That's a lot of stuff, metricmonkeywrench gave you reasonable numbers, if this were 3 years ago, but today, those numbers seem a little high IMHO. We have entered new times, and while supplies are...

I received the 70/30 DMSO/Aloe product last week. I've been using it on my right foot and right shoulder. I am impressed. The numb feeling in my foot usually gets worse as the day goes by (and...
