Forum: Reloading Equipment
When I was younger I bought a Dillon SQB for 45 acp because I shot a lot, and I mean a lot. Then I picked a second one up for 357 magnum. Both would have issues with seating primers. Hours to...

Thanks guys. I've dissembled enough guns in 40+ year to feel somewhat confident. But it's good to watch a video for in gotcha's.
Forum: Leverguns
Ditto that. As long as the round will chamber (and my '92 does) a .430 bullet works fine.

Unfortunately all mail services have their issues. 40 years of shipping expensive stuff is to ship Fedex or UPS overnight. If you use USPS the best service is registered mail. Takes literally...

I'm fairly certain I know how to disassemble the bolt but I've found youtube videos great to make sure I'm doing it the right way. I watched a lot of videos on "complete" disassembly but I've yet...
Forum: Leverguns
I forgot to mention I put the bolt in my ultrasonic cleaning tank and afterwords lubricated it with Ballistol. I was hoping that would remove any hard grease. I'm to take a look at the Hammer...

I have a Marlin 336 that I've owned for a very long time - more than 30 years. Recently it won't go boom. If I re-cock the hammer and let the firing pin hit the primer 2 or 3 times then it'll fire....

I saw the SNS web site and sent them an email, never got a reply. I did not see the picture though, thanks for pointing that out. I'll buy 500, even if they fit they'll work in my 32-20. I do a...

I'm not interested in casting mine own. Please look at my question - I need a recommendation for a 115 gn powder coated hard bullet for the 327 magnum. Please don't hijack the thread and make it...

I need a recommendation for a 115 gn powder coated hard bullet for the 327 magnum. Most bullets I've tried are for the 32-20 (COAL ~ 1.600) and too long for the 327 magnum (COAL ~1.450).
I've...
Forum: Casting Equipment
What's left to clean? I assume your going to be cooking in a pan or pot so even if there was lead splatter down on the bottom of the stove how would it get in your food? People worry too much. ...
You're going to have to shoot a million or two lead bullets to wear that heat treated cylinder throat.
Forum: Casting Equipment
This isn't about how accurate a given reloading beam scale is, the question is how accurately can it be read. I have a RCBS 505 that I've owned forever and (it's getting rather beat up) am looking...
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Midsouth Shooter Supply has Starline brass with a Black Oxide coating. Has any used this? I need some 41 Magnum brass, and while more expensive, would sure make sorting the brass from 357 easier.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I ordered some tonight to try them. Thanks.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Jeff, that is a very good question. Making me think why I do want powder coated bullets. I guess no lead vs a very small amount of leading is maybe the reason. I typically shoot anywhere from 100...
Forum: Cast Boolits
BHN 10 is perfect for revolver loads that come in under 16,000 PSI. The boolit is soft enough for the base to expand and fill the throat to prevent leading. While I cast most boolits myself I hate...
Forum: Black Powder Substitutes
Semi-newbie loading for cartridges. I've loaded 45 Colt & 44-40 but nothing this small. Starline brass, Hornady 148 gn HBWC and Pyrdrodex P. I can't find any load data but I'm thinking 10 gn of...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
I use desperado bullets for smokeless but they are still on the hard side (BHN 10) for BP. You load seems on the light side also. With GOEX and a 200 gn bullet is should be around 39 gns of FFFg. ...
Forum: Black Powder Cartridge
38 Special was originally a black powder load. So if you want historically correct, easy to load, and accurate in a 357; then load 38 special with black powder.
Was out in WY for the last week (and finally stopped in at the local ER) so have missed out on the posts. I've come to the conclusion that it isn't forcing / smashing the primer (and didn't happen...
Federal LP # 150 primers. Original Lee priming tool (I have two - one for SP, one for LP). Same setup & tools for over 15 years. No excessive force, brass was cleaned,trimmed and pockets cleaned...
Sitting here at 3 in the morning because I'm in too much pain to sleep. Typing with one finger. I'm not a newbie, been reloading 20+ years. have always used Lee priming tool to seat primers. ...
Holy cow. I have a brand new 2 cavity mold and had just got it casting right when the sprue plate screw fell out. Spend an hour trying to put it back. Figured wither there was a little lead on the...
