If I were to use a 38 Special to shoot a large brown bear, I would use a hard cast (linotype?) Keith 168/170/173 over the heaviest dose of Unique I think my revolver could handle. I would want to use...

I have a Woodsrunner on the way. 2 to 3 months wait. But after assembling a 45 SMR back in 2019, it will be a good wait. The SMR was easy. This Woodsrunner will be even easier since Mr. Kibler...

Thanks for all the advice. I guess I'll give shooting it a try to get a baseline. I have a sewer pipe 09 Argy with a .315 bore that I shoot the Lee bullet double coated with Eastwood green and size...

I know the pits won't go away. Been shooting, reloading, dealing with pitted bores for 60 years. This is the first one that I have had this hard of time getting the copper out of. I'm looking at...

I recently came upon a Remington 1903-A3 with a 2-groove barrel that is fairly pitted mostly from about a foot in front of the chamber to the muzzle. The rifling grooves are well defined and are...

Thanks everyone. The guy's father was a long time reloader. He told us to use starting data for new IMR 4895. Maybe I'll try 1 pound first. Although it is in plastic bags it is in 12 pound lots...

A friend of mine has been offered 34 pounds of what is supposed to be surplus 4895 in plastic bags inside ammo cans for $20 per pound. I told him it might be WW2 pull down powder. We are scared it...

The Hornady "J" bullets both the .312 150 and 174 grainers both did. The 174 a bit less. These Lee 185 (actually 182 after sizing) the front portion is guided by the bore friction fits the bore...

One last thing. I couldn't perceive any leading of the bore. I ran 5 Kroil soaked patches through the bore. Although nasty looking at first the last one was fairly clean. This is my first...

Today I had success with the Lee .312 185 grain bullet using Lyman #2 alloy and powder coating twice with Eastwood dark green. The bullets drop out at .312. It took 2 powder coats to get the...

No I have not tried paper patching............I found a Lee C312-185-1R on Ebay today. I thought I would beagle it up just a tad. Or attempt to lap one cavity. I also bought some 30 caliber gas...

I guess I'll wait till NOE starts making the .316299 again. All they say is "Out of Stock". I didn't see a way of backordering the mold.

Thanks for the starting point guys.

The first rifle I ever bought was a 1909 Argentine Mauser (DWM) when I was young. The long rifle. I remember like it was yesterday. I got a Lee Loader for $9.99 and a carboard can of H-4895 with the...

Thanks everyone.........Now I have a place to start.....................Bob

New to the 32 Special.......Just rebarreled a post 64 Winchester. I've acquired a box of Hunter Supply 32 170 grain Flat point plain base bullets..............Looking for somewhere to...

I thought of using ffffg in my 32 S&W loads as the solid head cases will not hold near the black that balloon cases did in the olden days.................Bob
