I have Super Blackhawks in .44 Mag, Blackhawks in .45 LC, all 4-5/8", an M29, a 629, and a 625-8 JM, all 4". I had a 4" 45LC Mountain gun but its weight (or lack thereof) required me to load poofter...

Lakehouse - Please include me for a four cavity brass flat base HP with grease grooves, all pins and a set of handles.

Has this really been cookin' for three years or is...

My first one was stolen and I finally replaced it a couple years ago. I shot some WW Lubaloy SWCs in the first one and had to de-solder the gas system despite the "plating" on the bullets. I have not...

Dale & BeaverHunter - I don't want to hijack the thread but I guess it's germane...
I should point out that both these Carbines are SHOOTERS, not "collectors", and that I don't have and won't...

My hunting buddy Montana Pistol Hunter has killed a trainload of Central Texas whitetails with a .32 flint rifle and a .36 Navy, and almost that many with a baby rolling block in .38 SPL. Paco Kelly...

I'm another vote for the .32-20. In fact I just ordered an MP Joulnir 32/130 gr mold for mine. It'll be used in a S&W 1905 and a B53, and probably in most of my .30-ish bolt guns as well. Its crimp...

I used to make shot loads for my .30 blackhawk with a little bullseye, a card OP wad glued to a cork (gasket material) cushion wad, and the rest of the case full of #9s with either a card wad sealed...

I use the MP HBWCs in .32-20 & .30 Carbine revolvers & rifles, and various other .30 rifles, all my .38/357s, my shooting partner's M57, my own M29, 629, Bulldogs, Super Blackhawks, four different...

Wow, bunch of ingenious ideas. I've been just using a bottom-wiping rag with a bit of nap to it - a cloth diaper works great but it's a long time since there were any diaper babies in my...

Several "general loading" books such as Nonte's, Grennell's and the NRA's have sections on light loads. I learned handloading from Grennell's ABCs and Nonte's "Modern Handloading" and "Handloading...

The .450 BM in the AR15 platform and the .45 Raptor in the AR10 platform accomplish what you're looking for. If you want a go-fast same-caliber companion for your 45LC revolver, the Thunderer pump...

Please count me in!

4 cav brass HP plus one pair handles.
Thanks very much - Ed <><

UPDATE:
I've had the Caldwell now for several years. Yes the tripod is shamefully flimsy. Staking it down with tent spikes and paracord did not help. The unit is highly sensitive to direct sun...

I bought a good bit from Imashooter in +/- 2 oz ingot-ettes and wish he was still dealing it. A nice amount of them fit into a small FRB.

I've had an 8 lb canister of it for decades, using it in nearly everything as an alternate to Unique. It's inching slowly down but still a good bit left. Great powder for almost any pistol round, at...

The Blue Dot data I mentioned: I got the best accuracy down around 1000-1200 from 11 to 13 grains in my rifles. At that level it won't be uncontrollable in a revolver either. I'd suggest a ladder...

I've never owned a .380 but load it from time to time for f&f. My .380 set is an older RCBS with steel sizer and the decapper/expander in the cavernous "#2" die body. Recently one of my shooting...

Definitely DougGuy. He fixed a 45 too-tight 45 Blackhawk cylinder for me to equalize its throats with its twin. He also fixed a K22 cylinder that was so undersized I was having to thumb the ammo hard...

I've had excellent service from my Inland. I updated it and an Underwood and warm both of 'em up regularly.

+1 to kingrj and Burnt Fingers - each firearm, regardless of cookie-cutter production, is an entity unto itself and in the search for the best suited powder, one must do the winnowing. That said,...

William Landa - I'm not yet familiar with that article.
USSR - thanks for the info.

Good luck with yours. Hope it gets straightened out.

A long time ago I bought a yellow hard plastic one. It used a soft nylon cap over a washer with a shell-holder type cutout. It was cheaper than the green one. I shattered it after about 100 whacks....

@ Rintinglen - Reading up through this thread, I was thinking, "wait til you throw a couple PCCs into the mix". I have .38/357s in J, K, L & N frame sizes but, oddly for me, no levergun yet, looking...

@ dale2242 - Once you select some tame chiles and field dress 'em, use 'em anywhere you would any color of bell pepper, sweet banana pepper, etc. You can fire roast them or smoke them (a chipotle is...
