I have been using A 50/50 mixture of ATF and odorless paint thinner. Do not recall where this came from, but it is truly amazing. With a little time this has cleared up some rust stars from an old...

I have been running 19 gr H110/W296 with a 123 plated and mag primers for years!! This this load cycles my Saiga nicely.
My reloading manuals were held from tipping over by 6 bricks of 22 ammo. I was using them for book ends!! A visitor noticed, I had completely forgot.

Good morning all,
I just got back from the range. I casted up some 311291 w/gas checks for my .308. The load was 17 gr of 2400, coal was it the crimp groove. They all piled into one ragged hole...
I have been making my own expander/funnels for a long while. The right amount expansion to the required size needed for my pistols has very much improved my groups. Improvments from 38 wad cutters...

Good morning,
Looking for a .452 die only. PM inbound
Thanks
I have made a few. My .357's and .44's run much better with the custom funnel/expander. I used drill rod, and heat treated them. I'll send pics if anyone is interested.

I made a bunch of brass muffins last summer. I simply scooped the crud of the top. I machined a few into gears and other small parts with one of them.

I run 4 grs of bullseye wit a 140 gr double end wadcutter. This works like a champ, the hares are really tough up here. Good luck.

Happy Memorial Day all,
I recently shot some ammo a buddy gave me.... Needless to say, my beloved 5906 needs a new barrel. A round was partially loaded with powder. The bullet lodged just past...

That looks a lot a PW 375. It is a shot shell loader. Very nice rig. Usually has tooling for two gauges. If it has all the toolin, that is a great deal. Google PW-375 and you will get tons of...

Thanks for the replys. The molds are both Lyman. The left one only says 358477 and 343. The right mold says 358477AX, 893 and GA on the left lower corner.

Hey all,
Does anyone know the story about the differences in 358477 molds? The mold on the right has a more rounded nose, while the one on the left nose is straighter with less radius. Both are...

Hey,
I have been running 3.0gr of 231 out of my P232 with a 95gr lead round nose. Very accurate and works the gun well.

700X is a great powder. It likes a baffle in your powder measure it help it settle for more accurate throws. What powder measure are you running?
