I order from Midway probably 2 or 3 times a month, and have for years. Never had a problem with any delivery, and their return process is easy. They take returns no questions asked.

Same here. It's been awhile since I've run across anything good, but there's a goodwill store about a half mile from my house. Right on the way home from work. If it weren't close, I doubt I'd bother...

Hard to beat a good cast iron cornbread pan or muffin pan from Goodwill. The cornbread pan makes 2.5 pound ingots that just fall out. Perfect size for the melting pot. Cost $8.

2 weeks ago, I emailed RCBS to find out where to get a replacement de-capping rod for the one I bent. They just mailed me a new one. Great company, great customer service.
How fortunate to have 8 #s of 4227 fall into your lap. I'm working my way through an 8 # jug right now, and it's really become my favorite powder for 44 mag. loads. Accuracy has been better than what...

Seems a bit hot. Lyman cast bullet handbook shows max load of 4.0 for a 125 grain cast HP boolit. Be careful!
I have two Arsenal 5 cavity aluminum molds with the same problems described in this thread. I have a dozen or so Lee molds and never had a hitch with any of them. One of the Arsenal molds I put Lee...

For the last few months, Powder Valley has been the only place I could find any of the powders that I use. It seems to me that powder is once again very scarce at on line sites. I'm glad I stocked up...
Same here. I thought the throats on my 25-2 were big at .454.

I have a thermometer, but don't use it any more since getting the Lyman Mag25 pot. It's usually best when set at about 760 degrees. When the bullets get frosty, I rotate out the mold for one that's...

I've used Harbor Freight powders. I'd recommend you get good quality powder from Smokes or Eastwood.

All of my ingot molds are from Goodwill. Cast iron ones are my favorite. My absolute favorite is the round cast iron cornbread pan. Makes perfect 2# ingots. Way cheaper and more...

One more vote for the LabRadar. More money, but worth it for accuracy and ease of use. Using the ones that have to be placed in front of the firing line are a pain to use at the range while other...

I'm a fan of some of his music, but not this one. I like the message, but the tune is garbage. Too popish for him. He should stick to blues and rock IMO.

Nice to know. I've got a Savage 260 Rem that has been a great rifle.

I have multiple Lee molds. They all cast great bullets right out of the gate except for one, which to this day has never turned out one useable bullet. I did nothing but give them a good cleaning and...

I don't know if you noticed or not, but a bullet with a BHN of 12 falls into the "useful hardness range" of every category in the chart above except for the last one. 10-12 with powder coat is what I...

i've been using this for 3 or 4 years. Bought the one I have on E-Bay. It does work as advertised. I hope he sells a million too. I'm just not sure there are a million of us using the old RCBS Rock...
Forum: Leverguns
I like the idea of shooting the same bullets from revolvers and lever guns. I have a few .357 mag S&W revolvers and a Henry .357. It's just fun to shoot them both on the same range day. I ended up...

Larry,
Thanks for posting these results. With component shortages, we all find ourselves scrambling for substitutes to use in place of what we're lacking. For me lately, it's been SPP. I've been...
I answered 4227 in the poll before I noticed you said FULL POWER loads. For that I use 2400. 4227 for me is more accurate at reduced velocity than 2400.
