How do you guys think the EPP/UG boolit would work in a 45-70?
Shot great in my .45 airgun@875fps or so, as can be seen in the archives here.

I am not real "experienced".
That said, my very first .45ACP/1911 handloads are with the Saeco #58. It feeds well thus far, and groups are a big hole at 5 yards (all I've shot it at so far) out...

My understanding, is that any moderator that can be attached to a firearm that can also reduce the noise by even a single decibel is not legal without a stamp. I believe the threading used on the...

If you meant E3, there appears to be a computer glitch responsible for making that powder appear available (it's not). Been like that for awhile with E3 on that site.

Well, I was given 250+pieces of brass for a cartridge that I don't have.
So you all know what that means.......

You are ready to ditch all those brands of powder, because you couldn't easily access the data on their sight FOR A FEW DAYS?
Dang.....you are one tough customer lol.
Hopefully they are just...

Maybe it is the same old stuff? I don't recall having seen some of it (but that doesn't mean it wasn't always there, anyway lol).
I went to Hodgdon reloading, and entered the cartridges I was...

A Sam Yang should be able to load more projectile than you would ever want to load, or be able to make use of.
For a point of reference, I can fit 400+grainers that are 1.38 inches long into the...

I wanted to point this out to those that haven't noticed: Hodgdon now has handgun data up for some of their shotgun powders that I didn't notice having been there before.
Good stuff! Wonder...

I am using an AIM 99LS/D kiln that has a triple door. Handles of my work with glass that hang out the door the same as an Iron mold's handles would, do not get hot. I realize iron is different than...

I was amazed when I came across 2000 of them in .35 a few weeks ago.......no telling when I will see them again.

It will hold 400 degrees pretty-much on the nose no problem. It's at my ventilated workbench already, so no reason I can see not to use it.
I suppose molds could be set on top of the kiln as...

Did a search, and could not find any info.
I intend to heat up, and maintain the heat of my molds via "garaging" using a kiln.
Anyone doing this? Is there anything I should know before I do...

How is ANY powder not selling in this day and age?
It would appear that some report scoring of the brass, and others don't.
I don't know what else to make of it at this point.
Then what is up with the scoring on the brass resulting from being shot in such a cylinder?
I want to again specify, that I am referring to the .45ACP/45Colt model of Redhawk, that has the recess in the cylinder for the clips (which causes much of the 45Colt rim to be unsupported). My...
Am I, though?
He goes into it at 30 seconds in....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu5cwZKefcU&t=1s
I see that the brass is not fully supported at the rim in the .45Auto/Colt models of the Redhawk.
How much of a concern is this to the handloader? Will brass have a shortened life as a...

A search on this design doesn't come up with much compared to results I have gotten searching just about any other boolit design.
What gives with the Saeco #456?

Hey, RFD!
Did your CVA come with the threaded barrel-cap pictured?
How difficult was it to remove the muzzle brake?
Is that a 23 inch barrel without the brake?
I'm interested in seeing load data for the Saeco #58 for defensive purposes in an aluminum-framed, micro-compact semiauto .45acp (i.e. standard pressures).
There is Bullseye, Green Dot, WSF,...
