    I'm not positive about the twist rate, but I assumed it is 1:48 since it is clearly not a round ball twist. The maxis are loose enough that they will slide out of the barrel all by themselves.

    I recently picked up an absolutely lovely .45 Lyman "Plains Rifle" that was made in 1974. I cast maxis using a Lyman 2-cav 454616 that drop at 225 grains and work great in a TC Hawken and a H&A...

    I have a typical Handi in 357 with a long chamber. One of my hunting loads uses a Lee 200gr (RCBS clone) over 16.5gr Lil Gun with a col=1.873. I would love to do some more experimenting, but the...

    I would use data for the Lyman 429215. Unique, Red Dot, Promo and Power Pistol might do well.

    It is really hard to beat a 250'ish grain cast bullet in a 44 mag for deer. In case you ever get a chance, I read an article several years ago by Brian Pearce where he recommended 9.5 grains of...

    Re-tempering a coil spring?
