I got an H&R 1871 in .38-55. Lyman 375449 boolits were tumbling at 50 yards. Ended up going to the Lyman 380681 mould. Mine drop at .380 using 50-50 Wheel weights and pure lead. Lube with Orange...

Colorado.
Most powders 39-45/lb. Some are 55. Choices are quite limited.
Primers are hit and miss as to what kind and size, but run 89-95/1000 when they are available.

Definitely not what it...

Mine works exceedingly well using Starline brass and the Lyman375449 boolit. quite pleasant and accurate to shoot.

For sausage, get pork fat from the butcher, or ask the meat counter at the grocery store. They may have to get it back to you in a day or two. I use beef fat for ground venison. use 20% for...

Have a few .45-70's

The Marlin 1895 shooting 400 gr J-word projectiles at 1750 fps is deadly accurate, and responsible for a couple of elk. However, that much punch is brutal on the shoulder at...

RCBS carbide dies. 1,000's of rounds, Hornaday progressive press. never a problem.

Use H4895 and CCI Mil-spec primers. 150 gr FMJ bullets.

Get a spare op rod spring and firing pin.

Have a few .45-70's

the Marlin 1895 with a 400 gr J-word bullet moving at (chronographed) 17 fps beats the snot out of you and will loosen dental work. But that's a hunting load, so not that many...

Lyman 452424 in front of 8.5 gr Unique. Been my go-to load in a Ruger blackhawk for nearly twenty years.

Have had the Hornaday for several years now, and use it for handgun ammo - .380, 9mm, .40, and .45ACP. Occasionally do a run of .38 special on it. Works great. I do not have either the boolit...

Have the Buffalo Classic for about 12 years now. Shoot 400, 450, and 500 gr cast boolits, and have never had the action come open or unlock when firing. Run the 400 gr boolits at @ 1525 fps...

8.5 gr Unique with a 250 gr cast SWC Boolit has been my go-to 45LC load for many years.

IMO, if you need more oomph - shoot jacketed bullets in a Ruger Blackhawk, or get a .44 mag.

Wife has a Ruger LCR. My go-to load of 158 gr SWC over 4.5 gr of Unique is too uncomfortable for her, so I load up a 125gr RNFP over 4.0 gr. Unique for practice stuff. I slip in the factory 158 gr...

I've seen the same thing in my SRH .454, using 27.0 gr, Win 296, 300 gr boolit with solid roll crimp, and CCI SR primers - but only in the fall/winter. Cooler than about 55 degrees air temp seems to...
