I second the Lyman 452374. I've cast thousands of those and it has worked well in every .45ACP pistol I've ever used it in. Feeds well and is accurate, if cast well.

There is essentially no difference between the loading tables for jacketed bullets and lead bullets as the tables go by bullet weight and not bullet material. The differences are charges for the...

That is a solid copper projectile made by Lehigh Defense and it doesn't "open up." It drills holes.

I use the Lee 311-100-2R and the 311-90-SWC sizing and lubing in an RCBS luber/sizer for .32ACP and they work very well in three different pistols. Either can be sized to .30 caliber but I don't run...

That's a mighty fine Ruger Blackhawk Mackay, however it seems that particular model isn't offered in Ruger's lineup or as a special order pistol these days.
While a 1911 framed .38 Super is a more traditional pistol I've a SIG P220 and an EAA Witness that I love. Both are accurate and well made pistols. And the Witness has an 18 round magazine capacity,...
In reading through this thread your comment especially struck home. While I too would hesitate in loading ammunition for anybody of higher pressures than generally required I've also had a Taurus...
Yea? Well reloading .25 acp is no small feat either. But if someone made a left hand sniper rifle using that round I'd buy one.
However the smallest currently available centerfire revolver you can...

I have reformed .30 Carbine to 5.7MMJ several times. The first time I lubed the cases with Castor oil (I have a lube pad for Castor oil only) and ran them through the re-sizing die carefully. I used...
You know what? When your eyes go bad, you might appreciate the "glow worm." I've put red dot sights on my target pistols because the eyes just seem to not be the same as youth. If you can't see the...
So, old thread, but what did you think of the article? Actually I'm going to be trying some H110 soon with 110 RNSP's and Speer 110 HP's as I use the same bullets in the M1 Carbine and I no longer...
Unfortunately Taurus no longer produces this pistol. It's a Model 731, 3 inch, six shot .32 Magnum. I found it on Gunbroker (seller Hunter's Outlet) who has several for sale. I like this one, it...
I had to buy another .32 Magnum. It's a rule, at least two of the same caliber.

There is a reason for a manufacturers disclaimers. Violating said disclaimers is on the head of those doing so. Why should any manufacturer be held responsible for one using any product outside of...
I just recently picked up a Ruger Single Six .32 mag with the 9 1/2 inch barrel. It dates from around 1985 or so when Ruger first made them. It was bought by a neighbour's wife when she worked at an...
I've been using the Lee 311-93-1R (98 grains lubed) and the Lee 314-90-SWC (95 grains lubed) and am very happy with their accuracy and feeding in the auto-pistols and rifle. While I wouldn't mind a...
I'd prefer one chambered in .32 S&W Long and not .32 Magnum. But I've thought of that.
The .32 caliber cartridge is fun to play with. I do like reloading for it as it is more economical than the larger cartridges and does the same thing as the larger cartridges at short distances. And...

I'd try some Coleman fuel and a tooth brush first. If that doesn't work, lacquer thinner. As the finish is baked on (supposedly) the lacquer thinner shouldn't harm the finish, however you might want...

I at one time made a mess of 7.62x25 cases out of 5.56 blank cases. Standard cases were hard to find at that time (Starline has them now as do others) and I was loath to use up my standard 5.56...

I'm wondering how that could be? I've shot thousands of rounds out of .30 Carbines, and I fail to see how the recoil of a 45 grain bullet could be "harsher" than a 110 grain bullet.
There will be...

Humm, I was in Christchurch last november. Lovely place that.
I like the idea of being self-sufficient, but a guy can buy a bunch of gas checks for the price of one of those tools.
