I have an sp 101 and a single 7 in .327. I got them because of the "shoot all thec.32's " aspect. Thec101 pierces primers but only withe .327 brass. The single 7 won't chamber all the loads the 101...
Go to O'Reilly's and get can of Berryman's. Soak a cotton ball in it and push it into the chamber. Leave it overnight. Brush in the morning. Repeat if needed.

Acww at 1400 worked for me on Impala, Gemsbuck, and Kudu. Full disclosure the Kudu was finished by the PH with a .375 neck shot due to me not factoring in the angle. Ruger hunter model .44 magnum. No...
I paid more than twice that for a k38 and have no complaints. May be time to put a little extra in the collection plate next Sunday.

Alvin York and his neighbors were using front loaders when the U.S. entered WW1. They thought the war was against the British at first.

Be sure to give us a range report. Maybe in a new thread.
Should cut down on the number of salesmen or people handling out religious literature showing up unannounced.

Have you tried adjusting the pressure on the alloy? RCBS has a screw that limits how far the lever can be lifted. I have seen pictures of Lee pots with a z shaped piece of metal added to allow a...

Yup. They used a contractor with limited experience in canning and lead based solder got in contact with the food. Metal cans were a new technology at the time.
For a .38 special, I would highly recommend a model 14 k38 masterpiece. It is a k frame so it will be lighter and smaller than the N frame but grips are easily changed if needed. Never heard of a...

There was a ship that sank during the Civil War. When excavated 100 years after canned food (may have been in jars) was found and analyzed. It was found to be edible but had lost nutrients. ...

I don't. The cat litter stays put. It prevents oxidation of the lead. I also think it reduces splashing. It gives protection for the mold so it doesent have direct contact with the hot lead. You...
