What an excellent idea! Thank you!

I have some 0.440” round balls I acquired in an auction and was trying to figure out ways to use them in 12 gauge. Buried in shot worked but is wasteful and...

There are some loads in the bpi Coyote manual using longshot and blue dot. OB16 gas seal and nitro cards on top of that. Teflon wrap around the shot, if you are placing an order. Or I can give you...

All this talk about 410 buckshot has me thinking. I bought some TPS wads for tungsten turkey loads. Now I can’t wait to get home and see if number one buckshot fits in them?

Six of the #1 BAM...

I’d like to see photos of the contents of the bucket of “lead” you got. I bet it’s rich with antimony and was someone’s stash for enriching soft lead before you got it.

And I really really like...

Isn’t Vista Outdoors selling the ammunition side to a foreign entity already? It is in the works, if it isn’t done already.

I wonder if Alliant powder will become even more difficult to find?

Do you have another nifty formula like that for stacking by fours?

Somewhere in all the chapters before the load data, Richard Lee says it’s okay to substitute a slightly lighter bullet in place of a heavier one. Modern Reloading Second Edition by Richard Lee.

I wouldn’t be afraid to swap 0.311” in place of 0.330” (00)buckshot. The column might get a little shorter for crimping, so put a card or felt wad under them if needed.

I’ve seen recipes for 00...

Thanks!

Congratulations!
Glad you didn’t give up prematurely!!!

Now post some targets showing how they shoot.

Welcome to the forum!

If your rifle has a 24” barrel it may be fairly quiet without a suppressor, especially if you use subsonic or target ammunition.

This is 112 ft lbs energy....

Can you post some pictures of those please?

I’m starting to buy German made tools if I can’t get USA. I really like the Knipex pliers.

So are there any American made nail clippers?

See the fine print?

Do you have any soft lead you can mix with your existing stash and try casting again after it’s diluted?

Performance may be similar but the pressure and breech thrust is too much for a Contender. The 7.62x39 would have to be loaded to a lower pressure because the body is larger diameter than 30-30. So...

Prayers sent

If you wind up in Tennessee you’re welcome to try out mine. I’d be really tempted by a lever action 327 as well!

I’m not sure. I mainly loved the formula because I can measure shot cups and calculate the diameter that should fit before buying a mold. If the pellets cause pickle bumps bad enough, there will be...

Loud! Fun. Versatile when you consider all the shorter cartridges that work too. No regrets other than I wish I got a larger frame/longer barrel and seven shot model. It’s whitetail capable in my...

Welcome to the forum!

They look frosty to me. Better than wrinkles and poor fill out. Do you have more clues to what alloy you are using? Are they hard with a lot of antimony? Do they ting...

Talk about stink!
A dead snake stinks worse and sooner than other dead critters in my opinion. What a mess to have to clean up!!!

This discussion about getting the die to close further is part of a discussion about using the die for a cartridge different from what it was manufactured to work on.

Cheaper than having a custom...

I took a paper midway catalog to a widows yard sale years back. I offered 1/2 of then current new prices for used stuff. Helped her determine the value of some other stuff.
Some dies for a 357/45...

Would it work to grind open the gaps wider on a Factory Crimp Die to make it crimp deeper/smaller diameter?
