The CZ 75 can be carried in DA mode for first shot with the hammer down or it can be carried cocked and locked.

Actually, "standard" velocity 22 LR ammunition of most makes will run 1175 - 1225 fps at 10 feet from the muzzle from 18 - 26" barrel rifles. That is from actual chronographing and they are sonic as...

"Magnumitus".......Hardly. Loading a 178 gr 311041 to 2000 fps out of a 30-06 or 308W hardly creates a "magnum" load in either. No one has said the OPs projected load wouldn't kill. If minimal...
As mentioned, the Beretta 92 is a big gun. I didn't like it simply because it did not fit my hand, especially with the first DA shot. I had a very early M59 S&W and found it was a good 9mm with...
The cherries for Ideal moulds for bullets that are used in smokeless powder cartridges were originally designed and made to cut cavities for Lyman #1 alloy. That alloy was a quadra alloy containing...

I'm with 35 Rem on this one. I also prefer to use the top end cast bullet loads for hunting as they will kill quicker and more assuredly.

Cannister IMR 4831 was not available to reloaders in '67. All "IMR" 4831 was military surplus Back then. It wasn't until the '70s when stocks of milsurp 4831 began drying up that Hodgdon contracted...

Should be close with that bullet.

I would sell or trade them for 1000 proper 358 cast bullets on the for sale forum here. If you don't want to get a 38 S&W then there are plenty of 38 S&W shooters here that might want them.

Exactly, and as also mentioned it is a term coined for the commercial cast bullet industry. Generally, in that context it designates commercial cast bullets with BHNs in the 12 - 18 range.

I wouldn't worry about it. I have a couple rifles with similar pitted bores that will never give a "clean" patch either. I just give...

In my Cimarron Carbine 45 Colt 8.5 gr Unique under the 454190 (250 gr) works fine but is a bit overkill for steel, rocks and general fun shooting. I prefer to use a 200 gr bullet [Lee's 452-200-RF]...

I've been using "Formula B" for many years with consistent results casting excellent bullets for match rifle shooting in the 1800 - 1900 fps range and for HV shooting running them upwards of 3000 fps...

If you're allowing the press ram to "cam over"....don't. Screw the FL die in further until the shell holder bumps solidly against the bottom of the die w/o the ram or press handle flexing as if...
I believe most Saeco molds, like RCBS moulds, were cut for use with linotype alloy. The alloy (RL + a tudge of lino) you're using apparently has a higher concentration of lead which makes it...

For a softer alloy add 2% tin to the COWWs. That will balance the antimony content with the tin and produce the sub metal SnSb which will stay in solution with the lead even during solidification. ...

Also consider bullets with the COG (Center Of Gravity/mass) close to the COP (Center Of Pressure) will transition thru the sonic zone smoother.
