Just some random musings. My main press is an older RCBS ‘auto 4x4’. It’s thier version of progressive from the 90’s or so. Since I switch around a fair bit, I’ve long ago disabled any & all of the...

Not sure if you even need capsules anymore. Make a barrier between the powder & shot. After the shot, seal it up with fingernail polish, or another method.

One thing I’ve found, even with the...

I like your methods. I have made shotshells for a variety of handguns, 38, 41, & 45 Colt for sure. I haven’t even looked for the Speer capsules in a long time. I bought enough #11 shot to last a...

I just bought one, 3” barrel. There was one NIB on Gunbroker, private seller, it went for $800. I dropped out cuz I was still in the fence. I paid about $950 at Cabelas, then a few fees & tax.

I...

Yeah, maybe the gun/ignition system isn't compatible with B209? You can check on the B209 site to see the type of guns and breech plugs that are compatible.

B209 also likes a firm pack under the...

Now what would be the use?? range?,woods carry?,hunting? protection of some type?? With a lot of walking weight can be a real issue. Maybe you don't need full power 44 or 45 colt loads? Maybe you do....

New Ruger here too. I just received a Ruger Redhawk in 45 Colt with a 4.2" barrel I bought off gunbroker($545), very lightly used. It's kinda close to the 'Alaskan', just a little longer & 2 oz or so...

My usual 45 Schofield load is a home cast 200 grn (45 acp) bullet with an upper charge of Titegroup. I don't have the chrony data here but it's just about the same as a mild 45 colt load. I think...

Midway has Hornady 45 Schofield brass on clearance RIGHT now. They show only about 700. May not be dirt cheap at $32 or so per 100, but doable if one is looking. Look up some Midway codes before...

I have an A-Bolt 23" barrel 300wsm. I handload it to modest levels so the recoil isn't bad, near a 30-06. I have done a few lighter loads with H-4895 & 150 grn bullets, these are less than your...

I went with a 45 acp mold to use the bullets in the 45 Colt & Schofield also. The mold is a Lee .452 200 grn 'TL'. So far I have loaded them in the Colt & Schofield, not acp yet. I think my favorite...

One has to have a gun with an appropriate rate of twist to get the most out of the sabot held projectile. That is much faster than what is ideal for a round ball. Most new in-lines are set up for...

Yes, hardcast bullets .452 held in a plastic sabot for a 50 cal M-L. I have taken deer with a simple home cast 44 cal bullet held in a sabot. I have also done it with a full bore conical(Lee REAL...
