Thank you for the help. BB

I loaded buck shot several years ago but the components are currently not available re: WAA12R wads. I have access to the WAA12F114 wads and several other types but not the 12R's anymore. Does anyone...

WOW, great replies, thanks a lot. 000 it is, hands down. I already have both the Lee and the Lyman slugs so I'll give this all a try. Again, thanks for all the help gents.

I'm trying to decide which Lee mold to get for deer hunting? Would the increased #of pellets be of benefit using 0 Buck or should I be looking at larger pellet size in the 000 Buck or the combination...

Nanuk, you live in Sask, have you tried this lube in the HOT Sask summer (July 1-4 where it must get to almost 17 deg C) as well as the mild Sask winter (-40, - -50 deg C)? Just wondering if this...

I made a really small batch just to try. Melted the Minwax and let it "cook off" on minimum heat on the stove. I could just see the solvent sort of evaporating off for about 10 min. I added about 50%...

Thanks for the input, it looks as it a lot of pistol/revolver shooters size all the time. I should have stated that I'm shooting rifles. As with a lot of other guys accuracy is "usually" very good to...

I've had some good fortune with a few good molds, mostly LBT and got out of the habbit of sizing bullets. I also wanted to get some practice loads that required the most basic loading. Cast, seat...

I looked up the MSDS sheets on both. JPW was easy and gave a lot of info but Minwax only listed the solvent composition(mineral spirits) and nothing else. However I noticed that both had a very high...

Thanks, Maven good idea.

Hey Nicholst55, speaking of "waxing" your boots I've got another one for you. Again, I was about 9 years old. My dad served overseas during WW2 and later ended up as the Reg Sgt Major for an...

I've been unable to locate any JPW up here in Ontario. Does anyone know if MINWAX paste wax can be substituted for JPW? (Just as bit of info, when I was about 8 or 9 I had to wax the livingroom...

Nicely done Janet, wish my wife had such interest.

Thanks for the info BTROJ. I thought their use of a Universal receiver indicated the loads were useful for something like the Ruger No1. Some other loads (375 Win, 357Mag rifle, 303Brit, 32WinSpl,...

Cast levergun loads for the 450 Marlin are hard to obtain. I mean realistic, safe loads using 400gr slugs. You can't use 45-70 info, that round has a larger case volume than the 450 so top loads are...

I've noticed people mentioning the WAA12F114 and WAA12R wads. I haven't purchased these in the last 2 years but I've been told that Winchester does not make these anymore. If they are not...

Garmin Legend is really good. You can download or buy a micro-SD card with the maps already loaded for whatever area you use. I want to get the 60CSX but just didn't want the anteana sticking out the...

I've read that this powder (WC845) is a fast lot of H335 and that "start" data is to be used as MAX data. Has anyone tried this or do you think this would be a good powder for a 45-70 (450 Marlin)...

I've got a few and will melt them alone, just to see if they cast well. This aviods contamination with the good stuff I have. (WW)

This is just my personal experience with a heavy recoiling 450Marlin at the bench. If I let my left elbow rest on the bench, accuracy is very poor. I think Frank 505 has it right, lever guns...

Used peeps for decades but at 50 the eyes just didn't respond so well. For target work during the day peeps still work out not bad but a low powered scope will win out every time. Hunting is...

Marlin 1895M in 450 Marlin. Best carrying and fast shooting rifle I've ever owned. 4-5" 5 shot groups @200yds are common with a 1-4X Leupold scope though I've got a couple of lucky 3 shot groups...

Just as a matter of interest, years ago I got an old Lee jr. loader for slugs, cost me $5. Single stage, only does 1 function at a time.(decap/prime/seat/crimp) I've loaded perhaps 1000(at least)...

The forend just sits in a socket at the front of the action, the tubular magazine is a slip fit in the action and then both are secured to the front of the barrel by a barrel band. It's a wonder they...

Lead Fred, you said to stock up while you can, do you have info on Black getting hard to find?
