Do you have another nifty formula like that for stacking by fours?

Somewhere in all the chapters before the load data, Richard Lee says it’s okay to substitute a slightly lighter bullet in place of a heavier one. Modern Reloading Second Edition by Richard Lee.

I wouldn’t be afraid to swap 0.311” in place of 0.330” (00)buckshot. The column might get a little shorter for crimping, so put a card or felt wad under them if needed.

I’ve seen recipes for 00...

Thanks!

Congratulations!
Glad you didn’t give up prematurely!!!

Now post some targets showing how they shoot.

Welcome to the forum!

If your rifle has a 24” barrel it may be fairly quiet without a suppressor, especially if you use subsonic or target ammunition.

This is 112 ft lbs energy....

Can you post some pictures of those please?

I’m starting to buy German made tools if I can’t get USA. I really like the Knipex pliers.

So are there any American made nail clippers?

See the fine print?

Do you have any soft lead you can mix with your existing stash and try casting again after it’s diluted?

Performance may be similar but the pressure and breech thrust is too much for a Contender. The 7.62x39 would have to be loaded to a lower pressure because the body is larger diameter than 30-30. So...

Prayers sent

If you wind up in Tennessee you’re welcome to try out mine. I’d be really tempted by a lever action 327 as well!

I’m not sure. I mainly loved the formula because I can measure shot cups and calculate the diameter that should fit before buying a mold. If the pellets cause pickle bumps bad enough, there will be...

Loud! Fun. Versatile when you consider all the shorter cartridges that work too. No regrets other than I wish I got a larger frame/longer barrel and seven shot model. It’s whitetail capable in my...

Welcome to the forum!

They look frosty to me. Better than wrinkles and poor fill out. Do you have more clues to what alloy you are using? Are they hard with a lot of antimony? Do they ting...

Talk about stink!
A dead snake stinks worse and sooner than other dead critters in my opinion. What a mess to have to clean up!!!

This discussion about getting the die to close further is part of a discussion about using the die for a cartridge different from what it was manufactured to work on.

Cheaper than having a custom...

I took a paper midway catalog to a widows yard sale years back. I offered 1/2 of then current new prices for used stuff. Helped her determine the value of some other stuff.
Some dies for a 357/45...

Would it work to grind open the gaps wider on a Factory Crimp Die to make it crimp deeper/smaller diameter?

Main thing I don’t like is the price tag. Next is factory rounds use 0.355” bullets instead of 0.357”

Weren’t the maximum revolvers discontinued because of all the commotion about top strap...

The Lyman 5th edition copyright 2023 also contains data for Vihtavuori N310 powder in 12 gauge. 7/8 ounce, And 1 ounce loads on page 149 and a 1-1/8 ounce load on page 150.

Every burn rate chart...

My BPI 10th edition copyright 2016 has 21 bullseye loads for 3/4 ounce loads on page 173.

Tightwad, WAA Lite and E3 are faster than bullseye on the first burn rate chart I pulled up online...

If I ever felt the need for using cast in 223, I would go to the Berger bullets website and play around with their stability calculator using the 1 in 9 twist rate for your example. I would select a...

Bullseye is pretty fast, but there are some faster powders used in 12 gauge.

Think you had some compression in the 9mm wasp load? Or less than the 38? I went back and read the first post for the...
