I love BP for my TD and Sharps. Not opposed to smokeless at all but it does seem I get better accuracy and control using BP. BP is easy to clean IMO, but there are more cleaning steps. I also...

Good info leadpot. My experience thus far is I too don't see any improvement with larger flash holes or mag primers. I have some questions, if you don't mind. I just thumb seat my bullets, so the...

At least in terms of Jesus' birth, Dr Heiser uses astronomy and history (facts). So the only true detractors could be people that also have a thorough knowledge and understanding as he did and...

Very logical how he came up with the date and seems to make a lot of sense. I like to learn about the physical aspects of the faith and contemplate all the theological aspects as well. However, it...

The primer flattening happened with NS cases. I think what you bring up may be the case. No pun intended. I'll monitor this situation. I did up several variety of loads and will take good notes. ...

Thanks everyone. This is helpful. Understood on all points Larry and thanks for the detailed explanation. When I first acquired it and started shooting it, I got bad vertical stringing. So i did...

Brown bear you should get a 44 mag revolver. I would take the 357 over the semi auto pistols. If you don’t make your own loads, buffalo bore makes an awesome load for this application. 180 grain...

It has been a little challenging to get into BP reloading. I had to wait a year to get the powder and primers. Particularly primers. I had to get them off GB. Still can't find primers anywhere. ...

OK, sounds similar to what Chris was saying. Interesting, I'll keep track of that. Thanks.
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
Thanks everyone. I'll test all those suggestions. It has not been happening, so I am little perplexed it started. Chris, I think your extractor issue has some merit. Any case FL sized slips in...

Anyhow, back to things responding to physics and not opinions - I have a question about fire formed cases. The cases that I shot based on this thread, I just reloaded. I have not been resizing or...

Just a day the church chose to thank God for coming in the flesh to earth. The day was mostly chosen to Christianize the Roman pagan winter festivals. Church has a super long history of taking...

I have read some people have used Hornady 174 grain in .310 for their M1917 but not a lot of results info that I could find. Thought I would see if anyone here had direct experience with this. ...

Very interesting Kenny. Thanks for taking the time to explain all that in detail. Love this forum, so much can be learned because many accomplished folks are willing to spend the time.

Kenny, can you explain more about why Pedersoli will not amend the design of their chambers. You have been very clear the barrels are great but Pedersoli mucks up the chambers. They have to know...

This was definitely a fun thread to watch and read. I was joking with Don that I need to hurry up and get a Shiloh so I don't start arguments on here when I post results of my load development. ...

Sorry, yes 30-06. I do have a comparator and I'll take your advice on that. Thanks. They have been fired only 4 times and I've only had to trim a few. This all helps, thanks.

Hopefully this is the right forum for this thread. I couldn't find any prior threads that could answer my question. I'll try to be short and clear. I have just been neck sizing my brass with a Lee...

Nice rifle Don. On Shilo's website, I see a variety of barrel weights but of round, half and standard. What does that mean? And what is the main factor to consider 30", 32" or 34"?
