New discovery this week. I had run some test loads without chronographing, just seeing which load was more accurate. This was my first mistake. I usually chrony all test loads while shooting...

Just a brief note to remind you that when you reload cast bullets that are larger than jacket, you may have to use an M-die expander to stretch the case enough in order to not bulge the case, while...

All good!

HP-38 and TiteGroup for my 32-20……Been using 231 but hard to find.

I shoot AA2460 in my M1’s.

I know 4064 it is within burn rate, but I’ve heard some things about pressure. Even though 2520 was THE service rifle powder, I didn’t go that route either. Used...

Thanks. It hits as hard on both ends!

I guess I don’t understand 351.

I use a locally made breakfast sausage and make milk gravy. Don’t forget the biscuits!

On the way…..THANK YOU SIR.

Thanks Froggie.
I’ve read and read and read about the 32-20 here, every aspect. Reloading had some challenges, but I only crumpled one of the first five test rounds loaded! I learned You gotta go...

Got it too! I blocked the email, which was not directly from Muzzle-Loaders.com.

Yessir 5 shots. Resting on a cardboard box, lol

Dodging rain showers, got to finally shoot my test loads for the S&W 1905 3rd change 4”. These were powder coated with Smoke’s Flame Red and the bullet was from Accurates clone of the original...

@lpel Thank you sir. I’m kinda fond of them. Hope they shoot well.

When I began this rabbit hole, I dove into learning about alloys, mixes, calculations, etc. I arrived at a mix whereby I could use SOWW’s, which were plentiful at a local shop, and Hardball from...

Flame Red from Smoke. First time using this color, but for a wheel gun, hey, gotta have it!

Another WSF; 9mm and 45ACP

It dropped at .315. It was designed for .314. I will size after PC to .314. Have not sized, nor PC, nor loaded as of yet. Ranch work this weekend, so hopefully next weekend I’ll load some up.

@green frog

COAL 1.555”
Powder - 231
3.1gr - 3.4 gr.

Will try and keep it low pressure for the old S&W 1905. Mainly a ranch pistol; snakes, varmints, etc.

Finally got my new mold out and casting.

Accurate Molds 31-117A - It’s Tom’s clone of the 311316 Lyman whereas I had him eliminate the lube rings as I will powder coat them. This mold dropped...

For my new model Win Sporter - 38-55.
An easy mold to cast with and makes great boolits. I powdercoat them and it is equally deadly on paper as well as HOGS. I cast about a BHN 11.3.
