I'll take #s 3,4,5 & 6. PM on the way.
I don't blame you for getting rid of the TL314-90. I got one bcz it was the only .32 SWC I could find/afford, and it makes the sorriest boolits I've ever seen....

My first one was stolen and I finally replaced it a couple years ago. I shot some WW Lubaloy SWCs in the first one and had to de-solder the gas system despite the "plating" on the bullets. I have not...

My hunting buddy Montana Pistol Hunter has killed a trainload of Central Texas whitetails with a .32 flint rifle and a .36 Navy, and almost that many with a baby rolling block in .38 SPL. Paco Kelly...

I'm another vote for the .32-20. In fact I just ordered an MP Joulnir 32/130 gr mold for mine. It'll be used in a S&W 1905 and a B53, and probably in most of my .30-ish bolt guns as well. Its crimp...

Wow, bunch of ingenious ideas. I've been just using a bottom-wiping rag with a bit of nap to it - a cloth diaper works great but it's a long time since there were any diaper babies in my...
Several "general loading" books such as Nonte's, Grennell's and the NRA's have sections on light loads. I learned handloading from Grennell's ABCs and Nonte's "Modern Handloading" and "Handloading...

I recently got an Ideal #266324 single cavity mold in a batch of swap gear and do not own a 6.5 rifle.

I've had the Caldwell now for several years. Yes the tripod is shamefully flimsy. Staking it down with tent spikes and paracord did not help. The unit is highly sensitive to direct sun...

I bought a good bit from Imashooter in +/- 2 oz ingot-ettes and wish he was still dealing it. A nice amount of them fit into a small FRB.

I've had an 8 lb canister of it for decades, using it in nearly everything as an alternate to Unique. It's inching slowly down but still a good bit left. Great powder for almost any pistol round, at...
The Blue Dot data I mentioned: I got the best accuracy down around 1000-1200 from 11 to 13 grains in my rifles. At that level it won't be uncontrollable in a revolver either. I'd suggest a ladder...
