My "softball" laod for my Guide gun is 13 grn Trailboss under a 350 grain cast from WW. Sounds subsonic, but I have yet to chrono it.

What if you tried something like a C clip around the groove in the case? Kinda like a "single moon clip" ?

Just to add another idea into the pot, what about blood donation? I give blood every quarter at work when the blood bus shows up. The main reason of course is that I hope my blood helps somebody in...

Got the nozzle unclogged today after work, let it heat up and pounded a very small hex wrench up from the bottom. Decided to clean out the .45 mold and drop some boolits as practice. Once the mold...

I am sure the gentleman who hoarded it before me spent many years aquiring it (RIP). I don't even know his name but am glad to take it and use it for the same purpose, opposed to it being scrapped...
